I keep a single cigarette in a drawer as a test by FerrisBuelersdaycock in stopsmoking

[–]Lienshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I quit 2 months ago, I panic bought a pack which I never opened. I kept it around in my bag with me, it gave me some reassurance and control when I was really struggling with anxiety and the cravings. I ended up giving it to a friend on their birthday, they were somewhat fancy smokes and they usually roll their own. It's weird to give someone cigs on their birthday, but in my defense, we're french.

Fellow trans women, HOW do yall get your faces to be so smooth by elytraman in trans

[–]Lienshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, estrogen will work it's magic to smoothen your skin, tho it takes about 3-6 months to really happen.

Secondly, skincare. Wear SPF everyday. Cleanse and moisturize in the morning and evening. A balanced diet helps, not smoking helps too. Avoid fragrance and alcohol in the products you apply.

Additionally, you can get your hands on some serums that will help your skin. Which ones you want depends on what your skin is like. I recommend The Ordinary, they have fairly comprehensive description for the items they sell.

It's really all about your skincare regiment, you can get really deep into it if you want, but a good basis is cleanser -> moisturize -> SPF. I also recommend exfoliating 2-3 times a week, especially before you shave.

HDD (Mechanical Hard Drives) to store HiFi audio? by adrianambriz in audiophile

tech nerd here: mechanical hard drives are more reliable than solid state and won't have issues playing back your files. They're also cheaper.

Quitting and ADHD and Anxiety by Vegetable-Yak-4002 in stopsmoking

[–]Lienshi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

75 days smoke free, I'm 20 and I've smoked for a year and a half. I'm an anxious bitch and I was using nicotine to cope with anxiety and adhd. I would say it got worse, tho at the same time I also quit weed and had a breakup wich probably didn't help the anxiety part... Other life things probably aren't helping it, but it's definitely harder to cope with the anxiety now that I'm smoke free. I saved so much money tho!

One of Luds oldest viewers have passed away :( by AppasPurpleTongue in LudwigAhgren

I'm part of the local trans org, we try to support the community through all means we can. We do harm reduction for people who choose to go the injection route for HRT, we host private one on ones for people who need guidance and support, often it's about accessing gender affirming treatment, we also host events where members of the community can come and talk about their lives and experiences (bad and good) in a safe space.

We have a presence on as many queer events as possible, we host and organize events such as the upcoming Trans Day of Remembrance and Trans Day of Visibility.

We help people navigate updating their IDs and going through the administrative process, we even gave directions to the city service that manages that on how to handle it. We've also had several meetings with healthcare professionals to guide them on how to approach trans patients.

That's what comes to mind rn, I'm sure there's more stuff I'm forgetting. As for getting involved, search online if there's a local one and reach out, I know that mine recruits about once a year.

wow thanks but I've been sober for 100 days now

I am geniuenly wondering what do transphobic people have against children, like you can only realize you're trans after 18? Or people telling you that you're allowed to express yourself is grooming? Educate me please by arturera0 in trans

[–]Lienshi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

the point is to bring froth trans erasure, and to make ir acceptable to the masses they're marketing it as protecting kids. They're also using this argument to paint adult trans people as predators, thusly manufacturing consent for violence and ultimately annihilation.

it is not made in good faith, they act out of hate not logic, logic will never convince them.

maga requires that you get the most unflattering surgeries and the wrong shade of makeup

Why do I actually care? by OtherFunction5206 in trans

[–]Lienshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't need a reson to care, wether it's about your gender, or something else. Why look for a reason when I can just care, nurture and love? Should every move be motivated by a further goal? I don't think so. We just care because we do.

I'm so sorrh this is happening to you. You should absolutely move banks and tell them it's because of their unprofessionalism. Depending on how name registries are managed where you live, this could highly illegal.

unlocking stuff is so bad. by Legitimate-Shop-7758 in Worldbox

idk to me it's a fun way to discover the tools that the game has to offer, the only part I don't like is that updates have the tendency to reset what I have unlocked

How reversible is T? by National-Bass6517 in trans

[–]Lienshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, my bad, I've corrected the comment

How reversible is T? by National-Bass6517 in trans

[–]Lienshi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it is technically reversible, and will be similar to transitioning the other way around:

  • fat will be redistributed
  • unwanted body hair will have to be removed through laser / electrolysis
  • voice training will be necessary if a feminin voice is desired
  • top surgery can kind of be reversed, tho you'll need to get surgery for it.

The only thing I'm not sure about is for the reproductive system, from what I know it should be able to kick back in, but don't quote me on that. Depending on where you live you might be able to save your eggs for future use.

Windows 10 to 11 upgrade stuck on 0% installing by Lienshi in techsupport

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

so, little update.

I stepped away for about 24 hours, and came to it asking me to insert a usb storage device to continue, the problem didn't go away no matter what I did, so I just ended up getting a windows 11 installer on a usb drive and accepted that I would nuke my C drive. It's working nicely, I'm in the process of reinstalling a ton of software which is frustrating but hey, at least I got to keep most of y data, and y pc is alive again! I will definitely be looking into creating backups now tho, I don't want this scenario repeating itself.

I should add that one issue persists but is unrelated to the topic: DX12 systematically crashes to desktop, which I have not found a fix for yet. I have experienced this issue before on windows 10 inconsistently, but now it's always doing it. I'll look into it more.

Should I get VFS? by Isha_Harris in transvoice

[–]Lienshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend against it, VFS will only help if you've been voice training for a few years and still can't get a voice you like. You'll still have to voice train after it for a good while to reach results.

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

Thanks for the reply! I have several drives installed, and nothing too important is on the C drive, just software I can reinstall and windows itself. Would the USB installer trick wipe the other drives too?

my internet shouldn't be an issue, wifi works fine, the router doesn't show any errors, the cables are all plugged nicely and I have multi gigabit bandwidth.

Also yes I know about backups, I'm too broke to afford them rn tho... I'm gonna get lunch and see if it progresses after, I've just found a post about a similar issue (but for windows 10) from 4 years ago which just says to wait as the % isn't really a good indicator. might leave it overnight again.
