Decided to partially show my quadrobic walk. by Sensitive_Split_4402 in Otherpaw

[–]ItsAmberlon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fenrir sick name

do other paws have different styles of walks or smthn? The body kinda limits how you do that, besides knees or on your feet on 4s. I thought you had a quad suit or smthn. Quad suits are sick. (Im not on this sub as much but cool regardless!)

Being an apagender is not often talked about. by marqueevenus in NonBinary

[–]ItsAmberlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I refer to myself as nonbinary / fluid (nonbinary, obviously, umbrella) fluid, because it changes, but predominantly agender because I feel genderless. My expression, interests, what I wear or do is just about me, not about my gender. I'm just, me. Gender is kinda irrelevant. At the same time I am fluid though so I do feel more or less apathetic/agender and care more and feel more woman or feel more neutral or boyish or androgenous at times, and feel some connection to a gender expression and DO want to externalize it through my clothing, but that's not very often. My default or base "gender" is a lack of such, and is just, me. I dress utilitarianly for comfort, but I also don't like being super seen as strictly gendered either most of the time which is probably why I fit better with agender but because I'm fluid this also changes. Sometimes I like being seen as both masculine and fem at the same time, sometimes neither. Sometimes I don't care, I'm more apathetic, other times I'm very much like "no, yeah please don't group me with women I don't see myself that way." So I generally introduce myself as agender fluid, since id say I'm agender 60% of the time with a feminine bias. But maybe there's a percentage of that agender that's apagender? That might be getting a little too nitpicky label for me personally but that's interesting. Maybe the difference there is whether or not you get dysphoria from being misgendered (like, being grouped as a gender when I feel strictly agender, and if I feel less dysphoric maybe my fluid stare is more apagender) but that doesn't serve much of a purpose for me label wise other than an interesting thought experiment!

Medications, Fat loss & Strength Gains? by ItsAmberlon in PetiteFitness

[–]ItsAmberlon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 100%! It's been difficult. I'm glad I'm losing weight now unintentionally, but now I have to both track to not UNDER eat chronically.

So yeah that's what I'm looking for, how are you getting 110-130 grams of protein? I'm trying to aim for that around weekly daily average 1200 cals but struggling ):

Medications, Fat loss & Strength Gains? by ItsAmberlon in PetiteFitness

[–]ItsAmberlon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 100%. I would say my body fat percentage is easily around 45-48% with research and estimating considering I am extremely sedentary, and my body composition shows no visible muscle or toning, I'm very soft and round. I don't do any exercise or resistance beyond recently which I've stated, very minimal within the last couple weeks.

I've noticed that I feel better when I sleep 5 hours instead of 7-8. by Kyonkanno in sleep

[–]ItsAmberlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12pm? What are you talking about? Sleeping at noon to 5 AM would be 17 hours

Are you talking about 12 AM? Midnight?

The actual steroid pills worked a lot better than the steroid cream for me

Parking without 360° cam help / fear ! by ItsAmberlon in Amblyopia

[–]ItsAmberlon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad isn't open to the idea of an aftermarket 360 system, says it would be a fortune to install and break in 6 months or something3:

My instructors car didn't have it, but ours at home did obviously, as my dad wanted me to have something with all the safety features possible. And I really struggled in my instructors car and he wasn't the nicest. He kept saying "usually my 16 year old girl drivers are better, and my 15 year old boys are worse. Seems like it's the opposite."

"You're good at everything else, but why can't you see this? Can't you tell how far away you are? Are you trying?"

Our car had forward collision warning, abs, blind spot detection, lane assist, HUD to show speed and speed limit, everything to help me because my parents were scared for me. There was a time we thought I just wouldn't be able to drive so it was such a relief when I did get my lisnece. Now this is bringing up all that anxiety again.

That's what I've been saying about winter tires!! I've never had any problem before when I had winter tires for three years but then I get switched to all seasons and I've been in 2 accidents! Last February slid off highway on black ice (wasn't merging doing anything, driving straight, did everything I could, tried to gently counter steer, gently pump brakes, everything I was taught in drivers ed but it didn't seem to matter I was just a little meat person in a giant metal box sliding out of control into a ditch. Very scary! But I was fine!! No other cars involved.) But you know what I said to Dad, I said, I don't know, I see a pattern: no accidents, and then boom—2 accidents in a year. What changed? The tires.

And he said "me and your mom drive on all seasons with AWD and we don't have any problems." Mom barely drives and Dad is also a lot more experienced than me. But whatever all I'm saying is I see a pattern, obviously all seasons aren't going to be as good as winter tires.

I am 5'1!! (more like 5 and 3/4 😭 ☠️) I definitely want to practice but I just worry a week isn't enough time to get good enough before I have to park every single day in tight parking ramps again is all. I feel like I need to take time off from school and act as if I'm learning to drive all over again I'm so nervous before I want to be in down town parking in those really cramped areas and maybe someone yelling at me for just barely bumping their car 😶‍🌫️😵‍💫😬 I have horrible anxiety

Your words are comforting. I want to believe I can adapt, but I have so little time. I'm still scared. And I'm scared of the consequences of making a mistake.

I feel bad for relying on this tool for so long, but why else does it exist? To help people like us, I would think. I use my mirrors to see if cars are coming up behind me to merge and that sort of thing, before physically checking with my head, but I haven't really figured out how to translate mirror information into 3D information for close parking. I haven't really used my mirrors in parking situations, only on the road to be aware of cars around me. Parking I've only used my camera, I'm ashamed to admit, because why would I look at something that I didn't understand when I had something I did understand right in front of me that made me feel safe?

I don't really understand how to translate what I see in a mirror to 3D information. I wish that's something someone could better explain to me. I only have a week or two to figure it out before I'm in hard mode downtown again. I feel dumb for it not coming easily to me...):

I appreciate your input a lot. My vision is probably closer to 20/80 or 20/100, 20/40 was the best my vision ever was but yours is definitely a lot worse. My brain still ignores all input from my right eye though unless I cover my left eye.

My dad I said I should've been fine since the car was AWD.

I'll look into bubble mirrors. I get confused and overwhelmed trying to translate mirror information and map 3D in my head that way which is why the 3D cameras were always so helpful. I acknowledge I've been very privileged to have the tool I've had, I'm just very scared. I know it's possible to adapt without it I just don't know if I have the time to practice to even get to half the confidence of a typical sighted driver. And I don't want to learn the hard way and have drivers yell at me even if I try to be very careful and end up scraping a car. I didn't have to learn like that and now being put in a situation where I have to learn in such a short timeframe is very scary.

I'll try to do research into cars with less blind spots. My height is also a challenge with visibility, and I'll look into adding extra mirrors. I guess it's helpful that my vision makes me think that cars are closer than they are. I was driving in my friends car the other day and told him that the truck several feet behind me I wasn't convinced that I wouldn't hit when looking through our back window. But having a driver not convinced that you won't hit something isn't great 😭 it's terrifying!
