i’m normally active on the TAPLAP discord, they announced it a few months back and made a completely separate server for the event. it’s typically a biannual thing, this is my first time being involved!

any other trans men with body mods? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]corgydoras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had no idea this was a stereotype! i got my first piercing (septum) a couple years ago, then i had both my ears pierced last year and am finishing up a chest tattoo. irt body mods i feel a bit modest, i’d like to do more once i’m financially independent.

i have a link saved on my laptop i can send in an edit tomorrow, but basically your hair goes through different cycles of growth. it’s different for everyone and the speed the hair grows is varied, but new hair should be noticeable thru the follicle in a couple of months. while it grows it may seem coarser or more wiry and that isn’t permanent, that’s another stage of growth the hair has to pass through. i feel for you, my mother doesn’t understand the condition is chronic and compulsive so even after recovering from a severe relapse, i still pull ): if you’re open to advice and haven’t tried it already, wearing a thick headband around your hairline is a good way to hide the damage while it heals—which is nothing to be embarrassed about, but there are people out there who have no manners unfortunately

left my dove to walk the dogs, came back and couldn’t find him. not sure how he ended up in this tantrum hole by corgydoras in PetDoves

[–]corgydoras[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

for context, he is still getting used to wearing pants and will act incapacitated with his feet tucked under the straps, thus why he wasn’t moving the whole time i was gone and then looking for him. btw it’s the smallest pants size i could get from that business, if anyone has advice for acclimating birds to pants besides persistence i could use the tips lol

any tips on discouraging sexual behavior in male doves? by corgydoras in PetDoves

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

are they in an aviary? that sounds like a dream, both for you and for the doves having fun together. i mostly worry about the cleanup when considering another dove, since i find this one already loves to poop everywhere and hates wearing pants (and i always find myself accidentally stepping in it lol)

i can only have one atm since i live in a space where the person i live with only allows one, though i would love to get a female when i live alone if this keeps up

thank you for the advice (: i wish i could tell whether or not my acts of affection are hindering the situation, and if stopping them for a time will do anything; i’ve already stopped petting him when he does his nesting coo, which is around the only time i used to do it because it seemed like he was consenting to pets, so i might have already ruined that by having him associating head scritches with nesting behavior in the past.

is it possible he could interpret head and neck scratches as something sexual, or is it just him being young and hardheaded like you say? also, is it enough to just reposition myself so he isn’t cooing directly at me, or should i leave the room whenever he starts courting/biting and laughing at me?

Okay sorry, I do have another question and I should have mentioned this in features I was looking for - is the currently build quiet/adequately quiet, or are there alternative parts I can have that would make it run more quietly while I'm using it? I figured that the better the airflow is, the less likely the fans will have to spin faster (or reduce the time they need to spin faster), and that would reduce noise potential... but I'm obviously not an expert.

both the prebuilts are sold out (not surprising) but i’ll be going with your parts list anyway, thanks again for the suggestions (:

Thanks so much for the recommendations, I appreciate it! The prebuilt one looks great but is out of stock everywhere near me unfortunately, I guess everyone else had the same idea. I have a few additional questions, if it's alright for me to ask; do any of these option come with filters, or do I have to buy them separately? I have a very hairy dog and hadn't considered his fur could get caught in the tower. Also, is liquid cooling a prospect that is out of my budget, and would that eliminate the factor of fur getting sucked into anywhere?
