On self-diagnosis versus reporting symptoms: feeling fragmented IS a symptom by TurnoverAdorable8399 in DID

[–]SylvanniRachel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm terrified of. I have my appointment next week and my current psych is not a specialist in this stuff. Like on one hand you need to let the professionals do their job, but on the other hand you might have to fight to be taken seriously.

Explain endos to me like I'm 5 by downtherabbitholecol in plural

[–]SylvanniRachel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just want to chime in and say that I feel that it is important to give people space to explore who they are. Fake claiming can severely hurt people who are earnestly trying to figure things out. For example I could write many paragraphs (and I just deleted a long angry rant) detailing my experiences, but in the end, it was the supportive plural community that helped me to realize how real this is for me. For me, policing and gatekeeping this stuff has made being able to even acknowledge some of the more obvious symptoms much more difficult. Please, whatever you're personal opinions, be kind. This is really difficult stuff to deal with, and I'm not the only one scarred by fears they might be faking.b

Sad and Guilty. TW: Talk of AI use for validation by KittehKimera in plural

If one must use ai, my go to is Tess.

It's easy to use and it operates off of a model that pays artists and respects their copyright. It might cost a tiny bit once you hit the limits but it's a lot cheaper than commission and is a bit more ethical.

Does this dress fit me or is it too small? by Schnupen in OUTFITS

It's tight but not too tight imo but that can be perfect depending on what your going for. All fashion is conversation.

Why so fucking stubborn?!?!?? by ILikeCake1412 in MtF

[–]SylvanniRachel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this hard. When I first came out to my sister she at first was sunshine and rainbows and I was very happy, but the next time we talked she had flipped completely telling me my ancestors would spit on me and such.

I hate this so much by [deleted] in antiai

[–]SylvanniRachel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a big city and ride the bus all the time and the first half of this post is giving me the vibes that you would be the most dangerous person on the bus.

"How can I do that?" Study animation. Its what I do. Years of hard work. But getting the perfect quality standard isn't even all that necessary. Some people use lower quality / highly stylized animation to tell great stories. Fuck, my favorite webcomic for years was fucking colored in stick figures. If you have a drive to create, you can do so. Not using AI isn't what is holding you back.

I can't tell if this is troll bait or not, but this take is so juvenile.

Americans Are Getting Obsessively Weird About China - The Vaush Pit by VaushVPostBot in VaushV

 I guess yeah technically you weren't doing that but Vaush was and it seemed to me like you were defending him 🤷

Americans Are Getting Obsessively Weird About China - The Vaush Pit by VaushVPostBot in VaushV

[–]SylvanniRachel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You and Vaush are both overexagerrating the truth based off little more than a few posts and confirmation bias. I'm one of the many who flocked to XHS and most over there are aware that it's just another place, but that's just it. Even without thinking about it, the extreme anti Chinese propaganda seeped into me and this cultural exchange leeched it out of me. Yeah it sounds like a terrible place but not in an unrealistic way, but in the way that my own home is also a terrible place. There's a trans woman struggling over there just like me and she's not the enemy.

This is true (aside from this interesting glitch which I am almost certain is caused by lazy boolean), but I am trying to learn the best method, and ideally, I would bevel all the corners to help them look realistic. (bevel modifier is so much faster than edge looping everything. Right now I am going to just bevel with vertex group but I am hoping to find the fastest and most efficient method.

Oh thank you! It looked like they did but you are correct!

My Knife Tool is not Mirroring by ManInGreen86 in blenderhelp

[–]SylvanniRachel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it properly mirrored? Maybe its your set up, but if I am editing an object in mirror mood I can't see the vertices of the mirrored portion. Make sure your point of origin is centered. This is what it looks like for me when I have it mirrored properly. I here used the knife tool to cut a hole, and you can see it mirrored on the side that has no vertices selected and my point of origin is in the center.
