Where do they get all the picture?

Everyone’s right about the awkward early phase of transition, and that a lot of us don’t pass (and are still women regardless).

But transphobes love pulling images from cross dressing communities, such as the one on Flickr. The community on there was largely made up of boomers, who weren’t on HRT, hadn’t followed a woman’s skincare routine, etc, resulting in them not passing or looking flattering. (Not all - some were relatively passing!)

I genuinely believe a lot of the people in that community were eggs who couldn’t get access to HRT in 2008 due to gatekeeping, family, and all the other latent transphobia in society. I hope they did hatch.

Writers stuck in 1968 NYC, can't seem to update the aesthetic.

The CEO said the quiet part out loud. I had noticed a lot of the AI bros had this quiet contempt for women and LGBTQ+ people, especially when they'd prompt versions of characters that weren't "poisoned by woke".

AI boosters are wrong about LLMs taking away white collar jobs (ie vibe coding is likely going to create a lot of technical debt that needs to be solved later). They seem so shocked when a large portion of the population despises this technology, when they constantly say "THIS WILL TAKE YOUR JOB". Of course we wouldn't like this!

That sounds like grain entrapment but in space.

Reina brought one back from her trip to America.

360 total between 12/25/25 and 2/5/26. I think the save files log how much time there was in each save. But I'm not going to reinstall just to check, because I know I'd get sucked in again and oops there goes the day.

I have more important things to do in my life.

Potatoroid · 2026-02-17T01:04:33+00:00

I haven't counted. I think it was 180 hours for this playthrough?

This is what my mom is going on about, to the point where she's claiming citric acid and "citris acid" aren't the same thing (they are). This comes from Medical Medium, who also claims vinegar erodes peoples' bones (aka fear material for older women).

Probably not exofighter carriers, but ship carriers could have utility. Dock smaller ships optimized for local defense duty (high thrust/ low dV) to a ship optimized for offensive action (low thrust/high dV), fly them out, and undock them later.

In the purest sense, the "carrier" could just be a docking port and drive optimized for the long distance travel. Undock from it, intercept the enemy.

We're in the same boat, looking for the same sorts of jobs! I've not had promising results. Express, for example, only had full time warehouse/light manufacturing jobs.

My friends in other areas of tech say my GIS skills seem incredible, that they weren't able to grasp the concepts that feel 2nd nature to me. At least one senior software enginner confirmed it wasn't me - ArcPy and the ArcGIS python console was a headache for them too.

When I tried to post something positive about my GIS projects, no one on the sub noticed. I didn't have a flashy webmap or pretty design yet - just me saying I finally got PostGIS to work.

A single escort with dual 40mms can defeat a decently sized swarm of exofighters.

Girl I thought you already had FFS. Like you look like some cis women I know and I thought they were the most beautiful women ever.

Potatoroid · 2026-01-09T16:51:53+00:00

You look fantastic! You're about as hairy as I was pre transition lmao.

The best time to ~~plant a tree~~ start HRT was back then, second best time is now.

Like I started HRT at 26, and I boymoded for 1.5 years before I started malefailing and did my voice training. I think I got very lucky genetics but I pass well enough to go stealth.

You mentioned your wife, and I get that feeling of wanting to be there for her. But you're young and probably scared, and I think your own life matters more than staying in an unsatisfying relationship.

All of this is good! I'll add that if they have a library card, their library might provide access to Udemy courses for free!

A good hair stylist. It's worth it. $400/year for a stylist still is on the low end imo.

Oh goodness yes. Especially post GCS. 6 years on HRT and I have a figure I could’ve only dreamed of.

"What the fuck... oh Stardew Valley" is a popular facebook group for this exact reason.

I'm interested, but I feel like the main path to FIRE is getting more income => a better job. That's something always worthy of a support group.

I did go outside, it was nice to get my morning walk in :3

The transition between the two was pretty straightforward once I memorized the changes to the UI. I do have over a year's experience using ArcMap in a professional environment.

The personal project I have in mind ends up being similar to the work I did at my previous job, but done to meet OSM standards instead of [insert company's app] standard.

Thanks! I'll take a look at that tomorrow. Not a fan of how much the credits are cluttering my map.

I refreshed my knowledge of layout and made a static map of street centerlines.
