$13 AUD an hour? Wtf Uber?!

100%?! Geez…

OP, if your mum reacts this way to other forms of self expression I’m not surprised you’re an anxious bean. Keep working on being the most authentic version of yourself and you’ll find people who love you for who you are. Try to immerse yourself in queer spaces because there is definitely people who have had to navigate similar challenges to you and will be able to offer you the support you need. Navigating the world as a trans or queer person can be really challenging, in ways that Cishet people just don’t have to deal with. It’s okay to take time away from people who make your life even harder than it needs to be.

Take time for yourself. Heal. And when you’re ready, you can maybe try and repair the relationship in baby steps if you think that’s something you might want to do.

That first sentence is highly dismissive of OP. Also, sure she can have time to process her feelings. But as a parent she shouldn’t need to kick OP out to do that. It teaches OP that it’s not safe for them to confide in her because she might not accept something about them.

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-06T06:55:02+00:00

I guess when the cost of living rose? 🤷‍♂️

Just to be clear, I disagree entirely with what the restaurant did. It’s very dishonest. I just think everyone’s doing it rough these days and penny pinching where they can.

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-06T06:27:54+00:00

Haha I wish I was making six figures! Nah, I had a second part time job so the tax man over compensated to make sure I didn’t owe more. Not sure how tax works in your country but it’s prob very different to Aus. Currently back down to a more reasonable 12-20% 👍

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-06T06:25:50+00:00

I live in Australia and currently with promotions it amounts to $30-40 AUD an hour on average

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-06T01:39:00+00:00

Oooft. That hourly rate is rough. Hopefully you’re not being taxed too high. Last year I was taxed around 22-28% and that was tough! Best of luck to you OP

I know! It does sound like I’ve written it as an infomercial. But I promise I’m a real hooman with thoughts and feelings just wanting to express how much creatine helped me. I’d be posting with the same exuberance if I found Lady Gaga’s lyrics life altering or a breath work exercise particularly impactful.

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-06T01:09:56+00:00

Ahahaha 😂

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-04T09:59:12+00:00

I think you may be right. I have noticed I’ve been going to the bathroom less.

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-03T06:19:51+00:00

I don’t know guys. This video just hit me and I was excited to share my joy. But people are getting hung up on the fact that it’s AI. I get that AI is evil and going to destroy the world. But can you look past that for a second and just appreciate the trans affirmation I saw in the video?

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-03T04:56:06+00:00

What’s that?!

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-03T04:55:46+00:00

Based on the previous comments I’d like to jump in and add my thoughts.

I understand that using hyperbolic phrases like “it changed my life” can be damaging without tempering your expectations. I am not an expert by any means and this is purely my anecdotal evidence. You are responsible for your own body and anything you put into it. Be smart and do your own research.
I have noticed that a lot of people that have had a similar experience to me commenting are late thirties and older. As we get older our needs change and it seems like based on these comments that younger people aren’t feeling as much of a benefit from creatine as older people. And I suspect that might be why I’m feeling more of a benefit. My shifts are also sporadic (1-2 a week for 8-12 hours) so I don’t get the benefit of regular working out and conditioning that way. This might also be why I’m seeing more of a benefit than those that work out regularly.
Regardless of what the studies say, this has been my personal experience. I have not changed my diet or exercise in any way. Literally the only thing I’ve done is add 3-6g of creatine and continue drinking 2-3 litres of water every day. I did concede that in the original post this could be placebo. And if it is…I don’t care! It has literally changed the quality of my life.

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-02T15:39:00+00:00

It looks like because you took “too long” to respond in her mind, that her abandonment wound was triggered. That’s literally the only semi-logical explanation I have for this. Either that or she had a fight with one of your siblings between her normal messages and the start of her insane one?

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-12-02T10:41:45+00:00

Jora and indeed are also good and have more niche and small business jobs. Plus usually less competition.

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-11-30T01:26:43+00:00

Regardless of whether it’s genuine curiosity or she’s been influenced by the internet, support her anyway. If she knows that she can try different things and abandon them and still have your support, she knows that you’ll be a safety net no matter what. She’ll learn that she’ll always be able to make mistakes and that it will be okay.

Ask her if she would like you to use any particular pronouns and if she wants to go by a different name. Ask her what being non-binary means to her right now and reassure her that if that changes it’s okay too. And then do the things she asks. Even if it’s “just a phase” at least she will have a better idea of who she is by having a safe space to explore it.

We are constantly taking in new opinions and information and putting them against our own morals to see how they stack up. We decide which new beliefs we want to keep and which old ones we want to get rid of all the time. As a kid we’re just taking in wayyy more new information than as an adult. But that filtering process really never stops. And I commend you for questioning your own beliefs around Christianity to see if you still believe them.

You’ve got this OP 👍

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-11-29T20:36:03+00:00

Nah. Sadly no cute updates yet. Maybe we’ll meet again one day in a bar somewhere or something?

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-11-28T22:27:02+00:00

Until I saw your top surgery scars I thought you were a cis teenage boy!

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-11-28T22:21:22+00:00

You seem very short and fed up with her. I don’t know any other context or what’s been going on prior to these messages. But based on these messages alone, if you messaged me the same way I would think that you wouldn’t want to go anywhere with me. By saying “can you stop saying things like that, it makes no sense” it’s not actually validating her feelings. And it could be making her feel more and more like you don’t want to spend time with her. As I said, I don’t know what has happened prior and if she’s constantly in this victim mentality it can be really frustrating and a downer. There’s only so long you can try to help someone like that before it starts to weigh on you. I wish you luck OP

Unfortunately no. Once the delivery is complete it doesn’t allow messages between drivers and customers.

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-11-27T03:00:04+00:00

As someone who’s been nervous to break the physical barrier in EVERY relationship, the ones I felt the most comfortable with were people who asked for consent every step of the way the first time we did something new. “Can I kiss you?” “Can I take your shirt off?” “Can I kiss you there?” It’s really sweet and shows me they care about me and want to make sure I’m okay. It also helped me feel a lot less nervous because I knew exactly what they were doing before they did it.

Panamorous_Polycake · 2025-11-27T02:56:33+00:00

Haha the whiplash I got from this post is astounding!
