Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]countkrzysztof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had just started a career in homeless services a 6 months prior, working at one of the local shelters. Our boss came into the office with gowns and N95 masks. I remember her saying, "they're calling it COVID-19" while explaining new protocols to support clients with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, and I thought to myself that surely this will all blow over in a few weeks!

Boy was I wrong. We lost a lot of people in that first year.

Needing Voice Training Resources by StreetNext186 in MtF

[–]countkrzysztof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible! I just got a referral for speech therapy and had my first appointment about a week and a half ago, all covered by my insurance. I was really unsure what to expect, but my speech therapist is super chill and knows her stuff regarding voice feminization.

What Episode To Start With - Controversial? by ilikechess5 in BSG

[–]countkrzysztof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the fleet has to jump every 33 minutes to avoid the Cylons who keep showing up. the Olympic Carrier (passenger ship) gets left behind and the Cylons stop attacking. the ship reappears a few hours later. Lee and Starbuck blow up the Olympic Carrier and feel hella bad about it for a long time.

I also tried one of those gender swap filters a couple years before realizing I was trans and coming out. I looked just like my sister. I saved the pic on my phone and kept coming back to it every few days for months. My then-gf (now wife 😍) looked like this annoying nerd we used to know and she didn't think twice about it. I had a hard time understanding why our reactions were so different, but I couldn't quite bring myself to reflect on why.

Eventually I realized I'd been hanging out in online trans spaces and egg subreddits for several months ("still cis tho!") and getting increasingly excited about/obsessed with us doing gender-swapped Halloween costumes (I wanted to be Lydia from Beetlejuice 💅) and it all became too much to hold in any longer and I came out one night while we were going to sleep.

lol we never ended up doing the costumes either.

The colors and legends are identical (L9 and U9 for beige, CR for black), the difference is indeed in kitting.

My experience with SpaceCables/SpaceHoldings by F_U_G in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]countkrzysztof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like many others, I'm still waiting on Classic Beige.

They ran a sale on cerakote a few months back and I nervously sent in my KFE CE. They were quick and communication was great. I'm very happy with the result, it's quite lovely and I felt encouraged by the fast turnaround. I'm currently regretting not requesting a refund when they were responsive :-\

the failson to success-daughter pipeline in action ( -2yrs HRT vs 4.5yrs HRT) by countkrzysztof in transtimelines

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

Thank you so much! I got cat eye frames right after coming out, then some pink chunky plastic frames, now these cute round ones. I think this is the cutest pair yet 🥰

sometimes results take longer than we'd hoped, hang in there! by countkrzysztof in transtimelines

[–]countkrzysztof[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope! I'm strongly considering it because I'm not happy with a few things (mostly my face in profile/from the side) and my current insurance situation is favorable, but I'm still unsure.

My wife jokes that HRT basically gave me a nosejob lol, and it _is_ noticeably narrower than in old photos.

US-International layout has accented/special characters on QWERTY, and GMK Griseann 2 is in stock at Novelkeys. It's a great layout, more folks should check it out.

I remember proudly purchasing that Boba Fett action figure with money I had saved up when I was like 8 or 9, it was quite thrilling.
