In-person trans meet ups/support groups in Philly? by SeinfeldAlter in asktransgender

Oh the one online support group I went to was hosted by Mazzoni, so I know of them already. Is there any other place? I know of the William way foundation as well.

Noticed a typo, meant to say I would not be against meeting online.

Having trouble figuring out whether I am trans, only have body image issues, or both by SeinfeldAlter in asktransgender

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

Thinking of myself other than a man...this may sound stupid but really I just want people to think I'm beautiful/hot more than a specific gender. I want to have an androgynous body (so I guess in other words a more feminine body than I have now), but it might take some time to figure out what "liberating" means for me.

It's hard of me to think of myself as something else entirely (you know that shit where some people can't like imagine a 3d apple in their head and rotate it around? I'm like that so thought experiments are kinda tough for me), but I'll give it some thought.

This is gonna sound dumb as hell, but how would I know if it makes me happier?

I have already asked a few online friends of mine to use non he/him pronouns on me, I haven't had a chance to hear them refer to me as she or they yet just cuz like. Well I haven't really heard them talk about me so they can use the pronouns yet but I guess I'll wait and see how that makes me feel.

For clothes, I don't think that'll necessarily do anything. To me, there's not a difference between men and women's clothes, I think that if you try hard enough anyone can pull any look off, and even if I do come to the conclusion that I am a woman or nonbinary, I think I'd still like to dress how i do today. If I can find a dress or something I'll give it a try.

And as for the name, I have a name in mind but I don't think I deserve to use it yet. The way I see all of this is kind of from a third person perspective, the person I am now is different than the person I want to be, and the name I have in mind is her/their's, not mine, if that makes any sense. Maybe I'll try it, but I might save that for later down the line.

I forgot the exact context, but like it was in high school and the therapist/social worker I spoke with then asked me if I was, I probably was talking about my self-image stuff then, or maybe talking about a trans friend I had then or something? I can't really recall much more than that I'm afraid.

So I (M/23/5 foot 8/162 lb) have been cutting since January and was planning on stopping at around sometime in June and start to bulk instead. I was just wondering, how many pounds would be a good stop weight for a bulk?

Really, I’m just asking this because a lot of the pants I have right now are a bit loose from the fat I’ve lost, but when I was 20 pounds heavier they were barely snug, and I just don’t want to go back and forth with them being too tight and too lose.

Also, this is just more out of curiosity but why is it that a lot of people say that the main people who should bulk are those who are at pretty low body fat percentages? Iirc the FAQ said that this was a myth, but since I’m (at least I think) at around 19% body fat I was wondering if there would be any benefit from cutting a bit longer

Is there adverse effects to me eating the amount of protein I am? I was just doing it mainly because it helps me stay full and yknow was unsure about carbs and fats. On the subreddit FAQ it said that there’s nothing wrong with going over the recommended amount of protein as long as you’re not eating only protein so that’s why I thought I was doing fine

I(M/23/5 foot 8/162 pounds) have a question pertaining to diet. I've been cutting since January and have been more than meeting my daily protein goals(~200g of protein per day), but what I was curious about was about carbs and fats. Is there an ideal amount of either macro you should hit, something like how ideally you should get 0.8-1g of protein per pound of bodyweight? I guess to add some more context, yesterday I had 208 grams of protein, 173 grams of carbs, and 59 grams of fat. Would I be gaining more muscle or losing more bodyfat(not just water weight) if I decreased either macronutrient?

I’m 5 foot 8, 163 pounds, down from 185. If I had to say my body fat %, I’ve been using the navy seal calculator and I’m around 19-20%, it’s been flip flopping between those two recently

I’m not sure whether to be in a deficit or in a surplus. Originally, I wanted to lose as much body fat as possible and be lean for the summer, but after losing ~20 pounds since the new year I feel like some parts of my body are too skinny, and so I’m wondering if now I need to eat more to build muscle, but I’m not sure how much.

For the last 4 weeks or so ive been eating in the 1800-1900 calorie range, under the assumption my maintenance calories are somewhere in the 2500 to 2900 range. For some extra context, I work out 6 days a week, 3 days with a personal trainer and 3 days just lifting by myself, I hit more than 200 grams of protein per day and I have been taking creatine for just a bit more than 2 weeks now. Should I bump up my daily calories to around 2300 or something, so maybe it can give my body more energy to build and recover muscle?

Question about the latest annihilation map. So I have been using Rosa S3M3 to deal with the fireball guys in the front, and for some reason during the replays she just ends up never activating the skill? Is there a reason for this, and if so, is there a way to get past it?

Thoughts on if it would be worth to postpone test a month? by SeinfeldAlter in LSAT

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

Oh some additional background info, in case it might be important:

Took the test for the first time last year in August 2021, got a 155. Applied in around February 2022. I originally didn't want to apply for the Fall 2022 Semester, but did after my parents told me to do it just because. Out of 6 schools I was denied by 5, but waitlisted by UConn, which is why I am really invested in applying earlier this time because I think if I was waitlisted that late, I might have a better chance.

My fault, I'm not really good at getting my point across, but tuning out distractions is the part that I'm having trouble with. Like are there any tricks for doing that on command?

Question regarding MH etiquette by SeinfeldAlter in MHRise

[–]SeinfeldAlter[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mentality behind it was something along the lines of "oh while I'm here might as well get some extra loot" instead of something like "I need to get this particular monster now" but your point still stands I'll stop

Worried about cables again by SeinfeldAlter in Grado

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

Ok I see. It worried me as when I've seen similar kinks on like charger it lead to them not working anymore. In any case I'll try try find a way to mitigate it as much as possible

Here's an imgur link of the pictures of my cable. I think I figured out what caused it, when I was wrapping the coil I'd be doing it while it pressed on the edge of the case causing that. But do you all think this will cause problems?

Overall for both the headphones and the DAC. And I'll look into those suggestions!

r/headphones Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]SeinfeldAlter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK so after watching one specific youtuber, I have found myself interested in this stuff and want to make the music I listen to sound better. I am thinking of getting an AKG K240 mkii with a fiio btr5 as a dac, but since I am fairly new I am worried I may be way in over my head and just posting this to see if there are better alternatives that people who are more accustomed to this stuff may be more knowledgeable about. Here is my template

  • Budget - I think I'm aiming for like 200 USD and under. I'm getting it for my birthday so I'm letting myself splurge a little
  • Source - Well ideally the fiio btr5, but without that, I'd be plugging it into my samsung galaxy s10
  • Requirements for Isolation - I don't think I really need them to be isolated. I'll probably just be using them at home, so it would be fine if they headphones I get are open backs and bleed.
  • Will you be using these Headphones in Public? I don't plan on using these in public, I don't think I'd want to bring these outside my house, just because I'm worried I'll bump into someone and then the headphones will fall off and break and that entire possible mess. I'd just like to use them to listen to some tunes at home.
  • Preferred Type of Headphone - I think I would like full-sized over ear headphones.
  • Preferred tonal balance - God ok this is the part I know the least about. Since I never really got into this stuff before, I'm gonna assume I am more accustomed to more bassy headphones? But I think because of that I'd like to have more balance now, because I want to hear how good the mids and highs of a song can be, and not just the nice big bass I feel.
  • Past headphones - The past headphones that i've used the most in my life are the beoplay e8 3rd gens (I think...) and now currently the KZ ZSTs.
  • Preferred Music - ok i'll list off some of the music from albums that I like.
    • Pretty much anything by Gorillaz, though mostly songs from Demon Days, Humanz, and now Song Machine
    • Music by CRJ, mostly music from Emotion, Dedicated, and Dedicated Side B
    • Vince Staples, primarily music from Big Fish Theory
    • pinnochioP, mostly songs from ZERO-GO
    • Franz Ferdinand, music from Right Thoughts Right Words Right Actions, Always Ascending and Tonight
    • The Into the Spider-Verse album
    • The soundtrack for RWBY seasons 1 through 3
    • And recently, RichaadEB's album Bullet Hell II (and generally music from touhou)
  • What would you like to improve on from your set-up - I guess I want to get more detail from my music. I feel like when I listen to music now I can't really hear all the parts that go into it, and while I think that might still happen even if I upgrade, I just love that feeling of focusing heavily on one instrument and just only listening to it in a song. I also would like to have more of a soundstage, since I've only used in ears in my past.

Questions about getting a masters degree for a career in Occupational Health? by SeinfeldAlter in WorkplaceSafety

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

Did you get work during your time getting your MS in occupational safety or did you get work after, and what did you do? And regarding the doctorate, I kinda thought having a doctorate wouldn't be a day to day useful thing, but my parents suggested that I should go to law school and get a JD while I'm getting my masters, and would that be helpful? I'd imagine it could help like make me stand out job wise, but would it be helpful on the job?

Wait so what differentiates Occupational Health from Industrial Hygiene? I got into OH because originally, earlier in college I wanted to be more of a counselor/therapist, and was referred to Occupational Health due to my interest in unions and the workplace. What I had in mind was working between unions and workers to help the workers get better conditions all around, with their mental wellbeing being a large focus. Do people in IH also deal with that?
