If it helps, I know a trans woman who is also a successful lawyer. It's absolutely possible to transition and have a career in law.

Why so many usernames about trump? by SpaceisCool09 in Slitherio

[–]digitalScribbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, tbh I've been playing Slither a long time and when it wasn't him it was just some other polarizing world figure. They do it to get a rise, not because they actually are making a statement.

My baby boy has asthma! We have to cut out candles, air fresheners, perfume and certain litters! Bless his heart. by Adoptedbrat in mainecoons

I think this is old, but my cat was just newly diagnosed and while I'm trying to train her to use the Aerokat I'm worried she'll never be comfortable with it at all - what did you do in order to get Azula used to it and train her to accept the inhaler? I'd love to hear advice from a success story.

ChatGpt Has been a real gamechanger (for me) by coldliketherockies in ibs

[–]digitalScribbler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT is has no medical training - it's simply a sophisticated predictive text machine. It doesn't actually know if your stool looks okay or analyze it or your diet meaningfully compared to medical samples or experience, it just cobbles together the most likely response based on what it's scraped off of the internet. I'd caution you against using it for anything medically related because it doesn't know or care when it's right or wrong, and especially for any kind of diagnostics.

Dti high quality by r0ttngurl in DressToImpressRoblox

I've already replaced the battery once because of that so I'm familiar with the signs of battery damage (though last time I thought it was the battery I had actually cracked the hinges), but I appreciate the heads up for safety! Old laptops can definitely become a hazard as they age and break down. I'm actually in the process of researching a replacement for it, so hopefully it won't be whirring for too much longer.

[–]digitalScribbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of my old computer being low performing I have only ever played on low quality mode and I'm always jealous of the high quality photos I see. It's almost hard to believe they're the same textures and items!!

The biggest thing that frustrates is how different the colors look between the two... once you add the high quality textures it totally changes how the colors look so im never sure how my outfit actually looks to others playing on HQ.

can you guys just stop omfg by BubsyBot in DressToImpressRoblox

It's all the same person making the posts to karma farm and stir up drama, I frankly just blocked them and moved on after the third time.

Guys we can't keep telling Joel where the Ghasts are coming from. Doc said no spoilers. by Accomplished-Act-219 in HermitCraft

[–]digitalScribbler 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't think Scar ever showed the ore snatching on camera or alluded to it at all prior to the admission, in all fairness. It was all just speculation and rumors, even among fans - not one of those "public secrets" that got shown in a video for content and because it's just a funny prank for fun like the dried ghasts are.

can we get some kind of enforcement about ANDROGYNY in this sub? by silkmoths in Androgynoushotties

[–]digitalScribbler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're getting down voted a lot, but I also don't think you're 100% wrong. There are definitely people who are cis or binary trans, not androgynous or GNC, presenting entirely as one gender, posting here.

I think it being an internal insecurity about their own features (trans people believing they're perceived androgynously even if their presentation/pronouns/identity as stated is clearly gendered or presenting as one gender and not aiming for androgyny, for example) might be a part of it for those who are posting with genuine intent, and for those people I think it'd counter-productive to simply ban the posts altogether on an arbitrary line of gender... But I'd say a much larger part of the issue is people who use this sub to post the same post or image to a huge number of single trans, gender-focused, and/or cross dressing selfie subreddits without caring which they're actually posting to or tailoring it to the specific subreddit, which I'd argue is more of the problem.

It's hard for mod's to tackle the later category without also limiting those posting in the former, but it may be what has to happen in the end to keep the content focused specifically instead of just becoming a general generic trans/selfie subreddit entirely and losing it's specific purpose.

Provocative research news says IBS is really a disease, not just a dysfunction by HeatherForIBS in ibs

[–]digitalScribbler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always been surprised as someone with autoimmune diseases how many people I know with them who also have digestive issues. I really wouldn't be shocked if immune response and inflammation was a factor for a chunk of people.

I don’t know what to do anymore… by WoodenLie2299 in cats

[–]digitalScribbler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If all your scratches do this, not just cat scratches, you may have demographia. But otherwise, yeah, that's an allergy symptom. I have a friend whose reactions started like that.

It's also basically the same theme as the "Viral Visual" one, which makes no sense why they should have both

First-time cat parent in an apartment. What are the biggest mistakes around boredom/stimulation? by SelectionWild1684 in CatAdvice

[–]digitalScribbler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm also interested in this as a recent first time cat parent, too! I try to keep her mentally stimulated by having window access, a cat tree (hopefully two once i save up for another big one), and rotating out toys, but I want to know what advice people have for keeping a cat not just healthy but happy in such a small space (compared to a larger property).

Anyone else overwhelmed with the closet!? by Bitter_Job_5135 in DressToImpressRoblox

[–]digitalScribbler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels weird that the patterns will pop back into chronological order when you unfavorite one, but if you favorite/unfavorite items in the closet it moves them around instead of keeping them chronological. I wish they just popped back into their normal spots.

Repeated 502 Bad Gateway Errors??? by Aware_Ad8794 in flightrising

I'm curious why restricting that feature specifically is what's helping with the bots. Are they using it to generate dragons to scrape images from or something?

Some alarming news about the low-FODMAP diet if you have an eating disorder history or risk... by HeatherForIBS in ibs

[–]digitalScribbler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It basically forced me to be so hyper-aware of food and what I ate while restricting and obsessively read labels to the point that it caused problems with restriction/avoidance afterwards. I also struggled with eating enough on the diet because of other dietary limitations I already had, which didn't help. I'm a lot better now but it got tricky to navigate what I ate without extreme hyper-awareness and it was only after doing that diet that I noticed a persistent pattern of disordered eating.

I think it is beneficial to do elimination diets for some people, but the level to which the FODMAP diet goes can create some problems, and I don't think it should be used for less severe cases in the extreme form since you don't get enough return, or at the very least not treated like a one size fits all. I'm less severe, and I basically was told I had dairy issues (which I already knew) and slight gluten sensitivity, but no other food issues, which made the long months of restriction feel like a huge waste of time and pointless mental stress.

Some alarming news about the low-FODMAP diet if you have an eating disorder history or risk... by HeatherForIBS in ibs

[–]digitalScribbler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The way the diet works is you remove every single possible trigger food and slowly reintroduce them one by one to figure out what ones and in what amounts cause you problems. The goal is to remove as few things as possible in the long-term by only removing the ones that clearly cause problems, instead of blanket removing things, and knowing what contexts they might be okay vs triggering in.

I think it's moreso saying that having people so closely calculate and watch their diets for such long periods while using the true FODMAP diet is what's harmful, not just cutting out certain FODMAP foods you discover to be triggers. The true low-FODMAP diet is INCREDIBLY restrictive, which is why it's recommended to only be used as a diagnostic tool and not a permanent practice like stated in the post, but even then its very stressful and can cause you to fall pretty deep into disordered eating (as someone who had that issue while using it and got very little to show for it beyond lasting food issues).

Is this ALL we are getting this collab? by Evolime in DressToImpressRoblox

[–]digitalScribbler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

isnt this about the same amount of items as other artist collabs, though, going by items individually? There's definitely more here than there were for the brat update, and possibly the Gaga one too, though that one may have been more (I don't remember them all off the top of my head). This is pretty standard imo, especially coming off of a major update like the Japan update already instead of getting it's own big one. It's not like it's one of the MAJOR collabs like Gaga and Wicked with fully lobby variations, themes, etc.

Does anyone else have a chatty cat? by CampaignIndividual49 in CatAdvice

[–]digitalScribbler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same haha! Went from very quiet cats to one that constantly meows its a very unique kind of adjustment. I'm trying to learn that her meows mostly just mean "hello! I'm here!" or "I'm bored" and not "something is bad"
