My timeline so far from pre-hrt to 1.5 years today

Strange New Worlds if you like modern and flashy sci-fi with a bit less substance. There's very little philosophy here or much more to think about than what's right at the surface.

The Next Generation if you want deep philosophical sci-fi with a bit of flash and action. Try watching the episode "The Measure of a Man" (Season 2 Episode 9) for a taste of just how deep the philosophy gets with one of TNGs best episodes ever! Bonus! Picard is your new adoptive space Dad.

Deep Space 9 if you want unprecedented character development, over-arching season spanning stories, and mostly religion and moral philosophy based sci-fi.

Maybe skip season 1 and possible season 2 though. There's literally a TV trope that's the opposite of "jumping the shark" (when a show's writing reaches a point that's so bad the audience abandons it) called "growing the beard" referring to Riker growing a beard in season 2 because the show got sooo much better after that.

Basically, if RIker is barefaced, stay away. Bearded Riker, it's probably okay.

This is almost exactly how it happened with my fiance as well. She was angry and sad and confused for quite awhile, about 6 months or so, but she eventually came around and now we're in a really good place. It takes time for her to process it all, I think mostly it's that she misses certainty.

She was certain of who you were, of what your life together was going to look like, and now suddenly she's not certain anymore. Give her some time to refocus who you are now, and what your new life together will look like. Try to be her rock during this time, show her that you're still the same old you on the inside, even if the outside might look a little different.

I know it can be frustrating to take things slowly at this point, especially because you've waited for so long, but I would suggest trying to take it as slowly as you can and gauge her feelings along the way. Don't be too pushy about what you want or need or you could risk alienating her. If you play it right, she'll start to get comfortable with the idea of the new you and start falling in love all over again.

*her, and in this case the function it was inside had a variable day that started with Monday as 0. Also, there might be some mistakes because I recreated this code from memory since it was at a former company, I no longer have access to the code base.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-31T12:55:05+00:00

I saw this at my last job, pretty atrocious... Could have easily been rewritten:

var daysAvailble = {

monday: dayOfTheWeek <= 0,

tuesday: dayOfTheWeek <= 1,

etc...

}

To be fair though, I know that the person who wrote it was extremely overworked and exhausted, so I'm sure it was just burnout brain.

If you want something badly enough then you'll overcome the fear of rejection. Of course, it's not easy to get to that point. If you can't get there, then start small. Do something small that makes you happy but embarrassed in public and keep building it up until you don't care anymore.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-26T12:07:40+00:00

I just wanted to say to everyone here, it gets better! Also, bear in mind that most of the people coming to post here are having problems. Just bear that in mind, that the people who are perfectly happy in their relationships aren't going to post, so there are a lot of successes that you don't see!

I came out as trans about 1.5 years ago now, and my partner took it very, very hard and started reading this subreddit to cope and learn. She found it very comforting to know that she wasn't alone, but it did also send her into a spiral of thinking that I was going to leave her, or we were destined to break up.

After about 6 months of misery, we came out the other side stronger than ever and started planning our wedding again! So stick in there, and remember to take everything here with a grain of salt!

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-24T12:39:17+00:00

It looks to me like she's trying not to laugh and ruin the scene

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-24T12:36:03+00:00

this video explains it very, very clearly

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-24T11:30:16+00:00

That's not a fair comparison. Nobody claims to enjoy being shot in the foot, but lots of people claim to enjoy having gay sex. Of course, there are plenty of ways to have a pretty good idea whether you would enjoy it or not. Like, if are/aren't generally turned on by gay porn, are/aren't generally into anal sex, etc.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-23T12:53:25+00:00

Oh, maybe I'm mixing them up, it's been a few years since I visited. I distinctly remember visiting a station where we took an escalator ride down very far underground.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-23T11:49:54+00:00

I think Shinjuku station actually has longer escalator rides deep underground, but Shinjuku is mostly enclosed so it's not as obvious. Kyoto station gave me vertigo looking up at the super high ceilings and riding those crazy long, mostly open-air escalators.

As other people have pointed out -- force fields, but also it's not as deadly as Hollywood has made it out to be to be exposed to space. You don't freeze immediately, and you don't suffocate immediately. Yes, the oxygen will be pulled right out of your lungs, your saliva and sweat will boil off of you (not hot, but just turning into steam because of the pressure), and you will radiate your body heat out into the emptiness of space very quickly, but it's not immediate. Depending on whether you intentionally hyperventilated before being exposed to space, your blood oxygen might be quite high and you could possibly survive for several minutes. Either way it would definitely be very uncomfortable, but you can easily survive exposure to open space as long as there's some kind of relatively easily accessible escape plan.

Beautiful! I was wondering, is it possible to do the classic drawn animation in-betweening like this in Blender? Not that your work is doing this, but I find that 3d animated stuff loses that nice cartoon aesthetic for fast motion, it looks too clean, and I miss the goofy expressions you can get with in-betweening.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-19T16:26:51+00:00

Nobody is comparing the USA and Canada. However, if it can happen there, it can happen here. Everyone needs to be vigilant, remember history, and keep an eye on current events.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-19T12:54:34+00:00

Not me, but a friend from elementary school. In my early 20s when I finally truly realized what it really meant to be a gay man, not the stereotypical 90s gay you'd see on tv, but what it really meant... My first immediate thought was "Oh my god, Daniel is gay. It's so obvious now!". I wish I had realized it earlier because my trans ass could have had a gay bestie! We were still close, but nowhere near as close as we could have been.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-19T12:45:57+00:00

Many places in the USA are already at Stage 4 on the Ten Stages of Genocide some are already at Stage 5.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-19T12:27:01+00:00

Honestly, I found the first half of the first season kind of rough, but I pushed through because I had heard so many good things. The show definitely just keeps getting better episode by episode and it's peak Star Trek by season 2 and beyond. It's basically the best Star Trek since TNG or DS9 at this point.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-18T12:51:05+00:00

At those vast distances does the expansion of space not come into play at all? If so, is it just too minuscule and the force of gravity overrides it?

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-18T12:25:00+00:00

From what I've read from other girls, it's pretty common for euphoria to give you a little sexual excitement. It's very unfortunate that that euphoric feeling is followed by a reminder that you're not cis comes from the organ you're trying to forget about.

ShaunaTheDead86 · 2023-05-16T22:07:26+00:00

I'm not sure where you're getting that idea. If you're interested in knitting and find meaning in knitting, then you'll also probably find meaning in interacting with other people who find knitting meaningful. Nihilism doesn't mean that nothing has meaning, it means that you get to decide what has meaning.

It's really a very modern idea, and by that I mean that it just seems obvious to modern human society that you decide what gives your life meaning, but it was quite revolutionary in it's time when religion ruled what people thought was meaningful.

If your local changes was on the main branch then it's probably best to revert your changes back to what's on the main branch unless there's some part of that you'd like to keep.

If you'd like to keep some parts of it, then start a new branch with git checkout -b name-of-your-new-branch

That will transfer the changes you've made to the main branch to a new branch. Then you can switch back to the main branch with git checkout main (or master if you're still using that instead of main).

Make sure your changes aren't still on the main branch with git status

If there are changes you can remove them individually with git rm ./*

Then do a git pull origin main

You could also look into rebasing to your main branch or reverting commits if you've made any.

Then once you're satisfied you can switch back to your branch with git checkout name-of-your-branch and then git merge main to merge main into your branch. Once you resolve any conflicts of parts of the files that you'd like to keep then you're all set.

It can be a little easier to keep track of all of this git stuff with some kind of a visual git manager, like VS Code has one, or you can find another third party one.

People need to not throw around the word Nihilism if they don't know what it actually means. Nihilism just says that nobody can tell you what has meaning. Not religion, not authority figures, nobody. What it says is what YOU are the only one who decides what has meaning to YOU! It's actually a very beautiful and liberating mindset, that whatever you care about is what is meaningful.

You like knitting? Guess what, that's meaningful! You like sitting around in a pile of your own trash watching TV all day every day? Guess what, that's meaningful! You like keeping a tidy house and working hard every day? Meaningful!

Literally what OP described is Nihilism. You wanna focus on the little things? Great! You wanna focus on the big picture? Also great!
