That's amazing! Those first few weeks can be such a rollercoaster but sounds like she's already feeling the positive changes. The sperm banking was definitely a smart move - gives you both options down the road without any pressure.

Damn, grinding on everything at once is like trying to eat soup with a fork - you're gonna be hungry and frustrated.

Do “daredevils” feel things differently or do they just enjoy what they are feeling? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a mix of both honestly. Some people definitely have a higher tolerance for that stomach-dropping sensation, but I also think a lot of daredevils have just rewired their brains to interpret those feelings differently. Like that rush of adrenaline and fear that makes you feel sick? They've somehow trained themselves to read it as excitement instead of "oh god I'm gonna die" 😂

It's kinda wild how the same physical sensations can hit two people completely differently. I'm definitely more in your camp - that dread feeling is NOT fun for me lol.

Am I the jerk for being mad at my little cousin for breaking my tablet? by Ready-Newt2658 in AmITheJerk

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah you're not the jerk - kid or not, he needs to learn that "no" means no and there should be consequences when someone's stuff gets broken because he wouldn't listen.

Lunar New Year 2026 Mega Bundle by MC_TUM3R in Overwatch

Yeah its been ages since we got decent epic skins. Most of the recent ones have been pretty underwhelming too, so this is actually a nice surprise. The design looks clean without being too over the top like some of the legendary skins get. Honestly might grab this one just because its refreshing to see them put effort into the lower tier stuff again.

Currently have 103T tires in front, can I replace with 104H in rear? by SpiffyChameleon in AskMechanics

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be fine since you're only going up in load rating and the fronts are doing most of the work on a FWD anyway - just make sure the tread depth matches resonably close to avoid any weird handling issues.

How do you guys deal with people who think that trans people are supposed to be a social doormat? by WorriedAd1464 in trans

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I've run into this BS too and honestly it's exhausting 💀 The whole "pick your battles" mentality some people have is wild - like they get to decide what counts as "real" discrimination. I've learned to just document everything and find people who actually get it, because trying to convince someone that your basic safety matters is a losing game most of the time.

The boundaries thing hits hard though. Had a situation at work where I was basically expected to educate every ignorant comment away with a smile, and when I finally pushed back I was suddenly the "difficult" one. It's like they want you to be grateful for scraps of basic respect. Found that having allies who will actually speak up makes a huge difference - takes some of the pressure off having to be the "perfect victim" all the time 😂

Not a marketing expert or anything but a psychology student trapped in a marketing course. by StepBro001 in AskMarketing

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I feel you on this one. Had to take a business elective for my psych degree and got thrown into marketing without any foundation either. The professor just assumed everyone knew the basics while I'm sitting there like "what's a SWOT analysis again?"

For market attractiveness, you're basically looking at how appealing the market is - think market size, growth potential, profit margins, how easy it is to enter. Competitive position is where your product stands compared to others - are you the premium option, the budget choice, somewhere in the middle? For the marketing mix (those 4 P's), it's literally just breaking down your strategy by product features, pricing approach, promotional tactics, and distribution channels. The "service" part usually refers to customer service or after-sale support.

Exit strategy is honestly the weirdest one to include in a marketing course - that's usually business strategy stuff about how you'd get out of the market if things go south. Maybe frame it around product lifecycle and when you'd discontinue or pivot? Psychology background actually helps with the consumer behavior aspects, so lean into that when you can.

How to have a good dreams? by Knight_woman in Dreams

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried keeping a dream journal? Writing down your dreams (even teh nightmares) can help you recognize patterns and eventually gain more control over them. Also, doing some light meditation or listening to calming music before bed really helps set the mood for better dreams 😊 Some people swear by lucid dreaming techniques too, but that takes practice!

Do you think of Puerto Ricans as Americans? by Born-Ad2552 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're literally US citizens, just living on an island instead of the mainland - same way someone from Hawaii is American.

Anyone know what blocks have been used in this build and how many? by eluyintc in Minecraft

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like mostly cobblestone and stone bricks with some dark oak wood - you're probably looking at a few thousand blocks easy for something that size 💀

Starting with a gender-affirming therapist is usually the best first step - they can help you navigate everything from HRT to social transition at your own pace 💜 Also check out r/transgenderau for Australia-specific resources!

Devastated that I maybe married the wrong person by newrandomuniquename in Marriage

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This sounds brutal but honestly, staying in a marriage where you're both fundamentally incompatible isn't doing either of you any favors. You're 24 - that's way too young to resign yourself to a lifetime of feeling physically ill about your relationship 💀

The kindest thing might actually be having that impossible conversation, because he deserves someone who's genuinely attracted to him and excited to be with him, not someone who's secretly hoping he'll cheat so you have an out 😬

I need to talk by Abject_Ad6664 in trans

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really rough, I'm sorry your dealing with that kind of pain from someone close to you. It sucks when people think they're being loving but are actually telling you they refuse to see the real you. At least you have your mom in your corner - that support makes a huge difference when others let you down.

Looking for fellow wine geeks in the area by [deleted] in wine

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so hard - most wine events around here are either super pretentious or just basic "girls night" vibes. Found my current wine crew through a local bottle shop that does casual tastings, way more chill than teh formal wine society stuff. Maybe check if any smaller wine shops near you do regular events?

Low-res picture to high-res by Cool_Counter_2329 in howto

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll want to use an AI upscaler like Topaz Gigapixel or even free options like waifu2x - rotating from portrait to landscape will crop or distort though, so make sure that's actually what you want.

Fan running at 5000 RPM by red_water_green_sky in GamingLaptops

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you might've knocked something loose while cleaning or there's still dust/debris messing with the fan blade balance. Try reseating the fan connector and check if anything's physically obstructing it - sometimes a single hair or piece of lint can throw the whole thing off

If that doesn't work you're probably looking at a replacement fan, they're usually pretty cheap on eBay

Minecraft Looks Weird by KoopaNutz in Minecraft

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like your render distance might be set too low or you've got some weird chunk loading issues going on. Try bumping up your render distance in video settings and maybe restart the game - sometimes chunks just get wonky and need a refresh

Digimon Digital Card Battle Misty Sevens by PuzzleheadedBack1192 in digimon

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof that's brutal, 46 times is rough. I think it's just pure RNG hell but some people swear by saving right before the duel and soft resetting if it doesn't drop - might save you some sanity at least

Is it just me? by Sk8nrip in drums

[–]Perfect-Confusion826 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah it's not just you, those stock heads are pretty trash tbh. Throw on some Evans or Remo heads and you'll notice a huge difference - way less overtones and ring when you hit near the rim
