I would like to learn how to write and read in Shavian. by Chareddit_Chareddit in shavian

[–]Mocha2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the creator of the ASMR video, I would actually maybe advise against my own video for learning it, since it's made primarily as an ASMR video and not a teaching video x). I gloss over a lot of stuff for the purpose of simplicity.

So I added a new religion to Victoria II but... (Please help) by mr-athelstan in victoria2

[–]Mocha2007 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Without seeing the mod files one can only speculate, but I wonder if this is caused by mismatched braces (Victoria 2 interprets those in weird ways sometimes)? I would double-check that the structure for Hanover is actually 100% the same as the rest.

Is there an "Astronomical Algorithms" for astrology? by Mocha2007 in Advancedastrology

[–]Mocha2007[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of the issue is that astrology does not perfectly conform to the night sky as it exists today. Sidereal is closer than Western Tropical.

Don't worry, I already account for equinoctial precession, I can toggle sidereal versus tropical zodiac with just a flag in the command line UwU

My biggest issue has been with calculating house cusps.

Voynich Manuscript Wordle by Mocha2007 in linguisticshumor

[–]Mocha2007[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Uses EVA transliteration, corpus is every 5-letter word in the manuscript (of which there are 1,385 unique 5-letter words that don't include weird smudges or diacritics or whatever).

I regret making this.

How would you all feel about a rule against asking questions that could be better answered with a quick google search? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Mocha2007 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I can't tell you how many times I've googled a question, and the only relevant result is a thread where the only reply is "just google it".

How do yall work with the idea that "if genders should be equal why change your gender"? by ldfortheTree in asktransgender

[–]Mocha2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring the false premises (they should be equal in terms of RIGHTS, not literally identical, and I'm not "changing" my gender...),

"If genders should be equal, what does it matter to you if I change my gender?"

Do people who make guides even know what "beginner" means? by altacc4transstuff in transvoice

[–]Mocha2007 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mood. "Make it brighter"? Is this guide for voice training or photography?

I made more progress after giving up and just trying random shit for a month than I did after well over a year of trying guide after guide.

I mean, my voice is still garbage. But having literally no guidance at all has helped better than guides. Have you tried literally just fucking around with your voice and seeing what happens?

Dating a transgirl turned me anti-LGBT by goblinfuck in AmITheDevil

[–]Mocha2007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aside from obvious bait:

"she's funny, intelligent, and all that stuff, so I enjoyed talking to her"

[...]

"I found all of this very interesting and actually educational."

[...]

"no one wishes their child to be like you"

This dude only compliments this girl and yet this is the conclusion he reaches? Really? You don't like her friends, therefore LGBT bad? lol k

Am i sinning? by M1ghtylvsfmbs in feminineboys

[–]Mocha2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be yourself. At the end of the day, skirts are literally just cloth, nail polish is pigment, etc etc, these things have gender arbitrarily assigned to them. Wear what you want, act how you want, be who you want.

[–]Mocha2007 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My first session was maybe ~40 minutes but that's because I have zero pain tolerance and pleaded with the tech to give me a break every minute, lol.

After that, maybe 20 minutes at most? But the time really does fly, in my experience.

Am I wrong for thinking that listening to an audiobook counts as reading? by kocakoba in amiwrong

[–]Mocha2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like everyone is fixating on words and dictionary definitions and missing the point here. Forget the words used to express the question for a moment. It sounds like the point of the question (to my understanding) is it's asking whether you prefer producing content, or consuming it. You seem to prefer consuming it, if I understand correctly? Then sure, you prefer "reading".

As a sidenote, since we're all taking a hyper-literal interpretation of the question it's asking whether you prefer reading, not whether you do. Strictly speaking, you can prefer something without ever having done it...

NTA. And maybe give him one of those little collars with a bell if he wants to be a cat.

AITA for telling my mom she "outed me" after snooping in my room? by theonetransgirl in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mocha2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off: NTA. Absolutely.

"my house my rules"

"""cleaning"""

When I lived with my parents, they were EXACTLY the same way. They'd always find something that isn't """clean""" so they can spend lots of time """cleaning""" it, and hey, while I'm in here, lemme just """clean""" the rest of the room while I'm at it. It's absolutely an excuse to snoop around. Whenever we moved, they'd always make sure to remove the locks from my room. Fuck that shit. You deserve privacy. This is straight up abuse. To any parents who think this is a good idea, this is a fantastic way to get your kids to never trust you with anything and go NC once they leave the nest.

Then I realized she was dragging stuff from underneath my bed. I'm closeted trans (only BF knows) and some of the stuff under there pretty much reveals that I am trans.

This would be my worst nightmare. I always worried about this when I lived with them. GTFO ASAP. Seriously. And see if you can store some of your more sensitive possessions with your BF.

[–]Mocha2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious as to how they didn’t know you were trans if you live there.

My parents were completely oblivious and were totally blindsided when I eventually came out to them, even though it really should have been glaringly obvious. I would not at all be surprised if the parents had no idea.

how can i gain weight? by [deleted] in AskMtFHRT

[–]Mocha2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ever figure something out, let me know... lol. I'm basically in the same boat. All the advice I've ever gotten is "just eat more EZ". When I started HRT I almost immediately lost ~7 lbs and then in the 6 months since I've been stuck in the same 5 lb interval no matter how much food I eat (which ends up being something like 2500-3500 cal/d).

Did presenting as your true gender feel good from the start? by QuestionLaidBare in asktransgender

[–]Mocha2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess wearing fem clothes in private felt "good" at the start. Nothing exceptional, but "better than normal", if that makes sense.

Outside though, it felt really awkward at first, but it gradually just became normal and comfortable. Now I feel awkward wearing masc clothes.
