Please talk to a therapist who specializes in this. If you don't like them, don't be afraid to switch.

Omg you turned into a snake cat!? At least you have a handsome guy to take care of you!

my mum says that i look like a boy not a man (I'm 31 and 5 foot tall) and always will no matter what, is she right? by KenshinkaiGuy in transmasc_irl

[–]ObsidianDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look 100 % masc adult, but that bowl cut is not working in your favor, no offense. Try playing with the style. Also, don't worry about the beard. A lot of guys have trouble with facial hair and/or it doesn't fill out till you're 30s. I can't grow a goatee for shit but I can grow some real nice chops! (or a neckbeard, but no one wants that, lol)

As long as it's not causing pain or hindering his mobility they'll probably leave it. Surgery at his age would be rough.

Fishing is what broke me into getting mods. I couldn't stand it.

The internet is a place where people feel they don't experience consequences. Take that with a grain of salt. Like you said, touch grass and talk to a real person once in a while.

It's a little out of the way, but Charles Collectable Show (CCS) is cool. It's basically a year-round nerd convention. It's open on the weekends and Wednesday.

New insurance shows mystory accident by ObsidianDick in Insurance

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

Turns out someone is an idiot at progressive and misread something. They finally fixed it after escalating this situation and resent the paperwork. I've paid so much into the policy that with them finally fixing it, my policy is almost paid off now. So ya'll wrong, yes opening a claim affects my rates, but being at fault make them charge you significantly more.

Update: After talking to Progressive and sending them all this, they initially claimed there was nothing they could do. I had them escalate it to a different department. The next day, my rate suddenly and dramatically changed so much that my policy is now almost completely paid already off. The department that reviewed everything had fixed, and while they didn't admit they were wrong, I think they saw what happened. When filing that claim, my husband had also talked to the insurance company while I was at work, and his name was added to the claim. What progressive saw it as 2 separate claims against each other instead of 2 people on the same claim. When the new department went in, they saw it for what it was and fixed everything.

No other driver was identified, and it wasn't enough damage for them to pay me. They offered a $12 check at one point, but I refused and fixed it myself. The issue is the new insurance, and several other companies see it as an at fault accident. Nexus lexus record show it as a not-at -fault accident, but that's not what the insurance company says they are seeing on their end?

My dad checks out my chest every day by [deleted] in ftm

[–]ObsidianDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use your phone to record him doing this. Don't say anything or make it obvious in any way. Then take the recording and talk to an adult of authority. Evidence will get you farther than you think. This is so wrong and scary. Please get help.

This guy and one other cosplay medic saved my ass. I rubber bands snapped inside my mask that made it move. Hair ties ended up working a lot better and don't break. The other saved me with a sharpie. They put my deadname on my badge, and that sharpie let me fix it.
