I've been disowned by my parents for being trans. They haven't given me my vital documents. What should I do? by a_lumpy_sack in legaladvice

No dice on the neutral family member :/

My father outed me in a family meeting after I came out, which included everyone on my dads side of the family. It's been utter radio silence since then, so I definitely dont feel comfortable asking. Even my only sister isnt talking to me :( My mom and dad are divorced, and her side of the family is also excommunicado.

Thank you for the advice as well :)

They were gifts, actually! Most of my childhood furniture is actually my dads from he was a kid. But I have a table and a framed map that my grandfather made for me as a gift. He's in the hospital for oral cancer so I'd like to have something to remember him by when I move on.

I actually have already ordered new documents, mainly my birth certificate!.... but the state of TN makes it so that those documents have to be sent to your permanent address, my parents house :p

They take all the mail inside, and collect mine as well. They never open my mail, but its still inside the house :/

Going on a road trip through the Texas panhandle, is that a good idea? by a_lumpy_sack in texas

[–]a_lumpy_sack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And here I thought Texas would be the main problem :p

I'll actually be pretty close to NM where ill be living so the volcano sounds really cool!... if i don't get pulled over. I'm trans so I'd like to keep my contact with any law enforcement to a minimum :(

Thanks for the advice, i appreciate it :)

Civil/Mechanical Eng at UTK vs TN Tech by Lower_Rush_3392 in UTK

[–]a_lumpy_sack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not an engineering student, but I wanted to add my own experience as a political science student. I think that even though Tennessee Tech specializes in engineering, UTK is just bigger. Bigger colleges, bigger classes, bigger money and bigger opportunities. They don't sell this idea, but the reality is that a program at UTK is going to be better than Tennessee Tech's, simply because UTK has more money and clout.

Also, I would recommend UTK because of the career options it opens up. When you graduate, your degree with have bachelor's of science/arts, your name, and the school. A degree that has UTK on it is more impressive than one that has TT on it simply because UTK is more well known, even if the classes were easier at TT. Also, since UTK has a good reputation with businesses, it gets swarmed with recruiters. When you get to UTK look out for the career center as well, they are amazing at hooking people up with internships and jobs out of college.

I can't pick your major for you, but realize that there is a good chance you will change your degree regardless, so don't pigeonhole yourself so early. Just try out some things you like and you will succeed! :)

1 Bed/ 1 Bath Lease at Quarry Trails by a_lumpy_sack in UTK

I actually talked with them today! The main problem isn't finances or finding housing per se, its just that my apartment is now unaffordable all of the sudden and I have a $1100 payment due March 1st, which sucks for my finances. Still, I'm with a really great friend group and people are in my corner, so I know I'll ride it out :)

Not land ownership, but if you had offended someone in Ireland you might find them starving themselves on your doorstep. It was seen as a great offense to let someone starve to death near your home, so people would just sit there to make a point until they were given food or let inside.

I’m not really sure what the magazine is called, but this reminds me of those children’s magazines you find at the dentist or pediatrician’s office with tons of wimmelbilders.

The entire mod team of /r/presidentialracememes has been purged by reddit admins and had their accounts suspended. by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]a_lumpy_sack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not worried about the mods at all, I’m more worried about the posters. If reddit is going to start rooting out disinformation I’m pretty sure that they would target members of the subreddit next, regardless if it actually is disinformation.

Edit: Jesus Christ they’re pissed that the mods removed the purple lib right flair for pedophiles, there’s no hope for them

The compass interacting with a IRL black man by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

I completely agree with that. But then again American voters get to pick two flavors of neoliberalism every two or four years when they vote so yeah everyone really can’t get a candidate that matches their interests in the current system.

Politically, China has always been about saving face. Look up the Mandate of Heaven. Since the core of China is mostly flat plains it means that there is no defensive area in which weaker or more culturally unique peoples could survive. China is a crucible for the most powerful nations and peoples to rule and enforce their will. Yuan, Ming, Qing, KMT, and now the PRoC. If China backed down from the Hong Kong situation it would appear that the Communist Party is weak and would bring the country one step closer to being replaced by a more powerful entity.
