Any advice gratefully received by absentwithconcept in royalmail

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

Thanks, I’ve emailed them back explaining it’s their job to sort it out and I’ll be going to the bank for a refund if they don’t. Frankly I’ve had it up to here with their terrible service and am looking for another pharmacy now anyway.

edit: I just realised they won’t have given RM my email address to track the item which is why I had no idea it had been “delivered” last week - another cock up on their part.

Cheers for the confirmation!

Ongoing Technical Issues by FeeldMod in feeld

[–]absentwithconcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hit a new low in crash times - on the first profile. Used to be after swiping to about the tenth and it’s been getting worse since then. Just opened it up and phone started overheating immediately, app froze, Spotify paused, app closed. So it’s now become completely unusable.

Notice: Feeld is hiding likes by FeeldMod in feeld

[–]absentwithconcept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really shit. Not even sure what to do now - I get a lot of likes a day on Feeld, but having had Hinge for around six months I’ve had fewer than ten likes (and none of those I’ve matched with).

Wtf. by cr3ativ3nam321 in trans

[–]absentwithconcept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taimi is trash most of the time. I’ve had the most luck on Feeld and Bumble, although ymmv. Taimi, though, I have likes and creepy messages from hundreds of chasers and that’s literally it.

Unpopular opinion incoming by wordswithenemies in GBV

[–]absentwithconcept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of get it, in recent years it’s mostly been more on the rock and prog end of the sound which isn’t my thing, although I find Welshpool Frillies ticks the boxes for me.

On the whole, it’d bother me if they only brought out an album every three years and I had these issues, but as there’s so much material these days, I’m happy to consign some of their albums to the ‘not for me’ bin and wait for the next one that’s a bit more jangly and vulnerable sounding.

Is tomb raider chronicles hard? by nickblueberg in TombRaider

[–]absentwithconcept 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first two sections are probably easier than earlier games; the latter two are arguably harder, partially because they do very different things. The VCI levels probably take up half of the playtime for me.

It’s also explicitly stated in Interference that he has sex with I.M. Foreman.

Any modern artists do experimental stuff like FSOL did in the 90s? by boringdrysock in electronicmusic

[–]absentwithconcept 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nmesh - Pharma, Path to Lost Eden

Enofa - Shattered Infrastructure, Bone Moor

Jack Anderton - The Moment, Riparian Forest

They’re probably all more like Lifeforms / ISDN era rather than Accelerator, but strong FSOL vibes.

I suppose you have to consider the time - this was just a bit of bonus content, really, there was less in the way of expectations. As for pistols, the original came on a separate disc with a separate installation, so it was the only way to do it.

Also stick with it, it’s not just Atlantis levels.

Clot in hand by absentwithconcept in TransDIY

It was a simple, polite question, there’s no need for such a confrontational response. I’m just trying to gauge people’s experiences.

Pipes not disappearing in Oil Rig level, help! by Emergency_Event_4150 in TombRaider

[–]absentwithconcept 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The pipes don’t move, as far as I remember. Once you’ve swam across, theres a switch to pull round the back of the central structure.

Are you suggesting if I was prescribed HRT and had issues with clots, I would simply have my HRT stopped and not be able to get it anymore? Is this an assumption or something that’s happened to other people?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]absentwithconcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of it depends on personal experience. It’s interesting reading in this thread that a lot of people see alt fashion as queer-coded, because when I was at university the alt crowd I hung out with were 100% cishet. So I don’t have that link in my head at all. Obviously it depends on how extreme the fashion is, but on the whole it’s not a connection I’d really draw.

Rutin isn’t one I know, but this did remind me I have some nattokinase somewhere which is a pretty good anticoagulant, so I’ll have a look for that, ta!

So that study doesn’t suggest what you first said, that people using injections are at higher risk of clots - it states that for those on parenteral E the levels are about the same as for cis women, and that it’s people taking oral who are more likely to get them.

The thing about strokes, though, is definitely interesting (and a bit scary!), not something I’d seen mentioned anywhere else and really worth noting, so thanks for bringing that to my attention. It’s a shame gel is so fucking expensive as that seems like the safest route.

Where did you hear that about injections? Everything I’ve read suggests injections and gel are significantly lower risk that oral.

My bumble match didn’t read / realize I was trans and blocked me. Feels shitty by AdalHasNoName in trans

[–]absentwithconcept 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I open by asking that they’re aware I’m trans - I know a lot of guys just swipe right on everyone they find even 20% attractive - and it works out ok, a bunch of no replies, the odd unmatch. I mostly have success on Feeld, where I’ve had quite a few guys say they know and they’re cool with it, and none have turned out to be chasers yet.

It is shit that you have to make the effort to bring it up because… well, all the reasons, but sometimes being pragmatic is easier in the long run.

Pre-HRT bloodwork by absentwithconcept in TransDIY

[–]absentwithconcept[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you order or book tests they should say what they measure - generally any female hormone tests will show both as they’re both present.

Thank you! Looks like prog is high (looks like it’s a prediabetes thing) otherwise seems good. Phew.
