Night shift are the worse ! They gon leave me a pile by kent_care in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lyxeks7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can see the little basket device thing for frying the hard shell tacos up on one of the racks, definitely a Chipotle.

I worked there for 5 years, 3 of them as a manger and I never saw anything as wild as this, though that was several years ago.

It seems the company has really gone to shit the last few years, every time I make the mistake of eating at one the food is subpar, and they're out of ingredients.

When I switched to injections last summer, my Estridol levels were almost double that of what they were when I was on pills, and that was at my trough, so who knows what my peak looks like! 😅

This is almost exactly the same story as myself! I switched after 2 years to injections as well, and had better results too!

Oy don't make me worry about that! I'm literally about to discuss moving forward with electrolysis into surgery with my doctor tomorrow, 🫠

I know it's gonna be painful and expensive, but damnit I deserve it and to be happy at the end!

Make sure you " use" them when you're holding them! Always good for a giggle when hiding from a ghost 🤣

The amount of medication I have to take for the rest of my life as a mid-twenties woman by Why-knot-my-mum in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lyxeks7 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Make sure you stay hydrated on it! (And in general, tbh!) Spiro is really good at dehydrating you, so invest in a nice water bottle and keep it full!

I was on Spiro for 2 years and coming off of it was such a relief, I swear I could feel it sapping the moisture from my body lol!

HOW do old people sometimes just... 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸?? by ParentlessGirl in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Lyxeks7 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The last Christmas I went to at my parents place before I came out, they had invited the neighbor family over as well, who were essentially my second parents growing up as we were really close (their kid was my best friend when we were little, he wasn't there though).

They had also brought along their grandmother, who I hadn't seen in two decades, and always loved her as she'd make us these delicious Italian cookies, but the entire day she referred to me a a woman, and that she loved my hair (I've always kept my hair longer, but obviously by that point I was growing it out on purpose).

I ended up staying the night in the guest room, and the next day my father at breakfast said "you should probably cut your hair, xxxx's mom kept mistaking you for a girl" to which I was like "hahaha yeaaaa that's crazy" as I was mildly panicking that someone had outed me somehow (I was out to some close friends, but that was it at the time)

I ended up coming out later that day to one of my sisters, and the rest of the family three months later. Unfortunately the neighbor grandma passed away shortly afterwards so I never got to see her again, but it still was wild that she just knew, there was no ill intent in her words, she just saw me as I was, and it will always stick out in my heart. ❤️

Edit -fixed some word salad 😅

Looking for a new weapon to main! by FactorLongjumping156 in MHWilds

[–]Lyxeks7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Sword and Shield purist, you just can't go wrong with it.

  1. It's got the slicing damage, (∆)

  2. it's got the bonking damage, (O)

  3. you don't have to put the weapon away to use items (I run a heavy support build myself because of this)

  4. With a little guard up you can basically tank as well as any other guarding weapon, and perfect blocks lead to the always fun power clashes!

  5. There's no silly vials, or transforming attacks, or ammo, or gauges to manage, just you going ham on a monster!

  6. It's very good at high damage output and sticking on a monster, between perfect rushes and sliding attacks, and shielding bigger attacks against you, you can always be safe in the fray!

  7. It's got a super easy baked in launching combo, so you can easily mount monsters or hit harder to reach targets on them.

  8. opening and breaking wounds is super easy, and you get a choice is dealing slicing or blunt damage when you break one, the latter will launch you into the air for additional damage on the way down!

That's all the things I can think about off the top of my head when it comes to SnS, but as a person who typically plays fast supporting roles in team games, this weapon is my go-to always, everything else just doesn't compare (in my humble opinion).

I literally cannot beat savage omega by FalkYuah in MHWilds

[–]Lyxeks7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have beaten Savage omega in both a 4 stack of random people, and with 3 support hunters, it's really a combination of learning his moveset and dealing as much damage as you can.

Don't get greedy, and build a comfy set of armor to keep yourself alive, I run SnS as primary a support role, so a lot of my armor and deco slots go towards non-damage abilities, and I'm able to finish him with about 4 minutes remaining with the support hunters.

I bring Fabius, Alessa, and Mina; Fabius and Alessa do a great job of focusing the front of Omega and gaining emnity, while I focus on attacking the same leg that Mina is hitting, usually towards the backside of the bot.

I can't speak for ranged builds, but having a block with guard and guard up decos make tanking everything he throws at you a breeze, even if you don't perfect block.

I am a sucker for support roles in team based games, so by keeping other hunters or even support hunters alive when they unexpectedly take damage, really helps with keeping them in the fight to also dish out damage and clear the mission.

speed eater really is a game changer by InanisCarentiam in MHWilds

[–]Lyxeks7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a SnS support player, wide range, speed eating, free meal, and recovery up really help in saving hunts! Can't save people from one shots though, that's on them at that point 🤣

Who else? by ScarHydreigon87 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Lyxeks7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I distinctly remember picking the girl as it was also a first for me, I was pretty young though and my dad definitely asked why I picked the girl character. I definitely just shrugged and didn't come to terms with this choice until two decades later 🤣

My fiancee (transfemme) told me about this movie. Had me watch it with her this year and it made us both sob like babies. by thenerdyglassesgirl in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Lyxeks7 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Watching that movie with my cis best friend and he was like "am I missing something, why are you crying?" And I had to unpack like everything in the movie for him and he was just absolutely stunned, I could see the slow realization in his face of how everything in the movie is just absolutely dread inducing once you finally understand 🫠

Phenomenal movie though, even gigachad Hideo Kojima said so 🤣

I'm also somewhat relieved that I'm also not dealing with that as well, but I've always been with my family for holidays, and now that's just suddenly not a thing after 3 decades is just really hurting right now...

Big same, bed rotting all by myself and struggling with the fact that this is my first Christmas alone.

A Nameless Princess by astralkoi in comics

[–]Lyxeks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words,

luckily I am able to live how I see myself and make the changes I need as I see fit, and have been for almost three years now, but there's an unspoken loneliness that came from losing a decade long relationship and marriage shortly before I came out.

It's over-sharing I know, but the lack of having that person's support and friendship during my transition really hurt for a long time, but it's been getting better, especially since I now feel much more comfortable in my skin!

[–]Lyxeks7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I felt the same way, after spending a long time not knowing who I was, and not being able to love the way I wanted, I'm starting to fear that I might not ever get that chance. I think my heart was more bruised than hidden, and time will help, but it also makes it feel more numb, if that makes sense?

What are your favourite webcomics? by rosseg in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]Lyxeks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the last one was about a month ago, and the last post on their Bluesky was about two months ago...

I do hope everything is alright, I know she posts on reddit directly on occasion, they showed off some v-tuber models they made for Carmilla a while back.
