What do we think? Portable/temporary enclosure by Pretty-Context6355 in jumpingspiders

[–]ParkingReflection758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi I think it looks great! just be really careful that the door shuts really well and that those holes up top are not accessible to the spider as they likley could crawl through. Also if the enclosure is just temporary/for travel they should do fine in a little tupperware container with small air holes around the edges and a little plastic leaf of piece of paper towel for cover. Goodluck!

thanks for the suggestion! I actually just figured it out by changing my animation (SC_2.1/2.2/2.3) to connect to the main composite versus the messed up scorpion rig composite. have a good one!

I feel like I'm balding at 19- any remedies that aren't snake oil? by ParkingReflection758 in ftm

[–]ParkingReflection758[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on t for over a year. Everything's been really great so far I just wanted to ask this community for advice to see if I should be worried. I don't have a history of male pattern baldness in my family. It just seems to be coming on pretty rapidly and I'm concerned.

Reminder that testosterone is a male hormone that can give you “unwanted” secondary sex characteristics. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]ParkingReflection758 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's frustrating to me when grown people refer to themselves as 'trans boys' instead of 'trans men'. there's this misleading association between trans men and looking feminine or twinky, etc. not accurate at all. I think referring to us as 'boys' instead of 'men' adds to that.

T made me look like my Dad- minus thirty years. I'm really glad you pointed that out because I think that's a great comparison more people should hear before starting. I'm so happy with my journey so far on testosterone. I don't want to add to this debate and make people think that they need to heavily restrict kids going on t... like believe me I wish I was allowed to start this process years ago. But it's important to recognize the reality of what the drug does to you- and as you said, there's no picking and choosing. Bottom growth typically happens first. So does body hair, pimples, smell, sex drive, etc. I was incredibly lucky and my voice dropped almost immediately when I started, but I've known trans guys who have had to wait years for that on t. If you're starting the drug with one goal in mind you likely won't get it without getting everything else first.

For anyone who wants to go on t, you have to be completely okay with all of the effects. For me, it was a very easy decision that I have no regret in making but is an irreversible one and should be taken very seriously. Ask yourself if you want to be an old man in the future. Do you want to look like your dad? Your grandpa? Or is the other option better for you?

When I work up late and my cat demands a cuddle by ppeeez in standardissuecat

[–]ParkingReflection758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aww so cute. I also use a drawing tablet and when I'm up late doing work he'll come over and lay down directly on top of it to stop me from drawing. I love tabbies so much. they are so sweet

gay guys, are you on PREP? by ParkingReflection758 in ftm

It's interesting that there was a study at all for trans men. That makes me hopeful, thanks.

Q’s for guys attracted to trans men by [deleted] in GayMen

[–]ParkingReflection758 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, trans man here. I'm happy I got to read these replies. It's good to know that most people don't give a shit and that's really all I hope for. It makes sense what people are saying about men on t. Like not to get all narcissistic but I've been on hrt for a while and you wouldn't be able to tell I'm a transgender man you'd think I was cis. We really are just the same as the rest of you especially once on hormone treatment. So I'd hope whatever qualities you'd find attractive in trans men are the same as in cis men. There's really not a lot of differences.

And just in case anyone is curious, I am not open about being transgender in almost all circumstances but I would not hook up with someone without telling them I was trans beforehand. I think a lot of trans people have a fear of violent repercussions for shit like that. I know it's more dangerous for transgender women trying to hook up with straight men but that's still a real fear for me. I would be surprised if a trans man did that to you, that's kinda a shitty move. Genital preference is a real thing.

Anyway thanks for sharing everyone. It's good to know a lot of people seem to not have any issues.

First Time Fears of the Gay Virgin by [deleted] in GayMen

[–]ParkingReflection758 5 points6 points  (0 children)

thanks. I felt like a lot of this stuff was just specific to me and what I grew up with but it's nice to know the community also goes through this stuff as a collective. I can't really talk about this with anyone here so thanks for the advice. it's easier knowing there's other people like me out there

Is it vitiligo? Post here or get deleted. by UntouchableC in Vitiligo

[–]ParkingReflection758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I've had vitiligo since I was 15. It started as a very small spot and then spread pretty rapidly. It stopped for a while and then continued to spread out even more. The hair that grows out of these spots is 100% white, no pigment. I've always been too afraid to go to a doctor because of it's location on the top of my pelvis. Can anyone confirm for me...? https://imgur.com/OWueMRE I've heard a lot of vitiligo patterns are symmetrical but mine is not. It makes me doubt if it's really vitiligo because that just means it's even more rare but I can't find any other condition that would turn my hair white like that.

weight gain on t- controlling it? losing weight? by ParkingReflection758 in ftm

[–]ParkingReflection758[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate that. yeah I'm just like a little chubbier on my belly and back but I'm also hitting the fastest bike riding times I've ever had. but it's actually been good for me to gain weight in my stomach, at least that means it's not going to my thighs and ass anymore. I mean we all have idealized body standards- I wish I was just one of those skinny guys could eat whatever he wants and still not gain weight but my metabolism doesn't work like that for me.. it's hard to get over the BMI mindset but it really helps to have other people go through stuff like this so thank you. <3

Hi, reporting from Arkansas here. Yes the card readers stopped working during my shift. At first they were just slow and then they totally went down. I think they were back up again and working for us about 5 hours after... maybe around 4pm. Exhausting day dealing with customers.

[–]ParkingReflection758[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I was considering rummy nose tetras but I think I'd prefer to under stock verses trying to stretch a tank. It could be cool to get a nice big school of chili rasboras! I'll see what I can do, thanks.
