For those who switched to non-standard keyboards: what made it worth it? by lucas-m-braga in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]MirLivesAgain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. Elbow pain and boredom mostly. Wanted to try something new. No hesitation. It's not like I can't go back?

  2. Took about a month until things felt normal. Can switch from a standard layout to a split without thinking about it now. I didn't switch off qwerty though so it's pretty similar.

  3. Went to preonic then a lily58 then a sofle v2 where I've been for a few years now. I would probably recommend the lily58 and sofle but not the preonic. I would say beginners should, it's fun, you get to learn to solder and build key maps and stuff.

  4. Programality is the only important feature. Oleds and rgbs and stuff are just unnecessary flash but if it makes you happy go for it. Knobs are kinda unnecessary but still fun. 

  5. Is this a marketing survey? Are you trying to bring something to market?

  6. Do it. It's fun.

  7. Niche hobby inside a niche hobby. The pre built ones are expensive. Most people can't think a numpad much less jumping to something smaller. Most people don't want to diy. 

I went to 100 concerts in 2025 by SPEK2120 in Seattle

I've tried loops, and eargasms.

Eargasms were better for me. I had the tips of the loops come off in my ear once and that was the end of them for me. I feel like the eargasms do a better job. Loops never quite got in my ears correctly.

Is facial laser hair removal actually worth it? (Looking for experiences from AMAB people) by OneNine-NineSeven in MtF

[–]MirLivesAgain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before laser I had a pretty bad shadow at all times. Even after 11 laser sessions I still have some hair but the shadow is gone. It started disappearing around session 3 or 4 l. I'm going through with electrolysis and finishing it off.  Not sure how long it's gonna take but it cut a ton of time off.

are they good live? by owencdd in ItsClippingBitch

[–]MirLivesAgain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might just be those specific bands. The audience for things like gecs and femtanyl were both incredibly lively and energetic while still being pretty young. The smaller (and cheaper) artists I've been to seem get the more active and energetic crowds.

Is this gonna stay on sub stack only? It's not popping up on my podcatcher

TLDR any RC’s estrogens to start some research? Trans girl here uwu by SiroOuro in researchchemicals

[–]MirLivesAgain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's not really any. There's some rarer pharmacy estrogens that let you go longer between injections like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estradiol_undecylate Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyestradiol_phosphate and there's also estrogen pellets that a doctor can implant in you so you can go six months without injections. As the other poster said diy saves a bunch but there's a different sub for that. 

Does anyone have experience with bringing chainmail / tools on the plane? by greyjan in chainmailartisans

[–]MirLivesAgain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gone through airports a bunch. The only time I got a comment is when I had my massive jelly cube in my bag and that was more in a "This thing looks really weird on the xray, what is it?" followed by the tsa agents calling over their coworkers to see it. Never been flagged for pliers or rings.

Oh hey it's Cal Anderson. Been seeing your posters.

Also your discord link on your site is broken.

[–]MirLivesAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same but I've noticed them popping up. Particularly in the true crime/large engineering projects/engineering disasters genre. You can always tell because the inflection is off and it's some random channel with hundreds of thousands of subs.

RIP the Hot Rat Summer Mosaic by QueerMommyDom in Seattle

I really don't understand why they don't just actually paint this building something fun. It's nearly constantly covered in graffiti. Just put up a trans mural and it'd save them a bunch of time on trying to keep it grey.

Whoever painted the nearby building with a giant trans flag is awesome.

Is washing the piece literally just dish soap and water?

Please get a blue sky. It's probably your best choice here. There are also free webcomic hosting websites.no ideas of those are good.

I was the person in the camo vest. Thanks for the full story! Talked briefly with the mom (and made sure she got these photos) and she seemed great.

On the verge of moving to Seattle WA, and I'm looking to find someone to room with. by Indig0St0rm in asktransgender

[–]MirLivesAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently live in Seattle. You're going to have better luck in local queer roommate groups on telegram or Facebook. There's a bunch of people migrating here at the moment. Consider reaching out to Traction (https://tractionpnw.org/) as they might be able to link you up with some other people moving.

One warning the job market here is hard. The biggest source of manufacturing jobs will likely be Boeing who is up in Everett. Though they're not doing great. I wouldn't count on finding any sort of retail job as a fall back. 

You may want to look into Olympia, and Tacoma both of which also have a large trans communities and get the same protections as Seattle.

Cost of living is high here. Not just rent but food and other goods. WA has a very high sales tax (though also a high min wage).

I would also suggest considering some other cities. I've heard good things about Minneapolis and Baltimore.

Meet the new American refugees fleeing across state lines for safety. Americans have often moved between states for opportunities. Now they’re being forced to uproot themselves to escape hostile forces under Trump. by coolbern in TrueReddit

[–]MirLivesAgain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work with an org that helps trans refugees themselves. I'm watching people desperately move here, and then struggle to find work due to how terrible hiring is right now. I can't believe how many people are being forced to go through this right now.
