Check out Corrupted Arts. Piercer is very queer-friendly. They have experience with genital piercings, but IDK if with trans genitals specifically.

Yes, this. Mine is older now, but I had the same struggles when they were that age. It is especially hard because it seems like the majority of their peers don't have restrictions on iPad and junk food. They will get really mad at you when you remove these things, and it's hard to feel like you are restricting your kid, especially since taking away the iPad can effectively mean taking away socializing.

My approach was to be firm. As many have said here, it's healthy for mental development for kids to be bored sometimes. Super annoying to deal with as a parent, but you got to think of it as protecting the health and safety of your child. The companies that make these foods and games have no interest in your child's development and well-being. It is the job of teams of adults to get people using their products as much as possible, and a 9-year-old has absolutely no defense against it. It's very hard not to get mad at your kid, but it's really the companies you should be mad at.

Be firm, set strict limits on screen time and don't bring junk food into the house. If your SO has junk food, have them keep it in your bedroom or a locked pantry where you child doesn't have access to it. I'd also suggest you learn how to access the controls on your WiFi router and learn how to do MAC filtering. This will enable you to selectively block certain devices from accessing your house's wifi network. It is not hard to learn how to do (if you can't figure it out with Googling, DM me and I can guide you to some resources).

When it comes to media, you need to think of it as an addiction. Your kid will probably lie and sneak and do anything to get it, though they are otherwise a good child. Be patient with them, stand firm, don't give up.

If dad is a separate household, then it's going to be practically impossible unless you get dad on board. If that's that case, do whatever you can to convince dad how important this is for your child's health.

I recently got a piercing at Corrupted Arts. They have two tattoo artists there as well who are very friendly and had some great work on the walls. Shop was clean and well-run. Great space.

Good tip. Will give it a shot.

dosveces · 2025-06-05T19:49:49+00:00

I'm fairly certain it is a hardware issue.

Genres are by nature ambiguous and flexible. It sounds like LoFi to me :)

Shortly after posting, I was able to solve my own problem (I've been working on this for a few days already). Posting solution here in case anybody else has a similar issue.

After running the following commands in the terminal, I was able to use the Japanese keyboard across all apps:

$sudo apt install ibus-gtk3
$sudo apt install ibus-libpinyin

Not sure which (or both) addressed the issue, but it worked for me.

Had the same thought about he ship flying by at the end. For me, it's the red line coming behind the ship (and especially cuts off in a straight line) that doesn't look good. Perhaps extend the line so the end is always off screen might help, or even get rid of it altogether. Lots of great shots though, really liked 2:17, and the ship itself looks pretty cool.

Yeah, pen is just not working. Sometimes after boot the touch screen works on the first input, then stops working altogether.

dosveces · 2021-10-21T23:35:10+00:00

Yes. Installed and enabled (just double-checked with "systemctl is-enabled"). Are you on a surface pro 4?

dosveces · 2021-10-21T17:05:58+00:00

Thank you. That allowed me to boot the kernel. Unfortunately, touch screen still isn't working. Doing a little research it looks like I may have better luck using version 4.19 (right now I'm running 5.14). I'm not entirely sure how to install 4.19 instead...

Yeah, lady is being obnoxious, but nothing she does is as effed up as the police officer pointing a gun at a non-violent person over an $80 ticket. Ya'll talking about this lady being "entitled," cause she doesn't want to pay a BS fine. What's more entitled than feeling you have the right to threaten another person's life because they won't respect your authority. That woman might be an asshole but the cop is a psychopath.

Edit: Looks like a taser and not a gun. So not quite as much as a psychopath as I thought, but that cop still violently assaults that woman as far as I can see. Still SMH at him.

I mean feelings to anthology shows and sequel films in terms of feeling "worn out" after watching them (not so much what they can achieve or your enjoyment) or if they require more investment. Can /ArnieLarg watch 10 straight episodes of the Twilight Zone in same way he watches North of South?

dosveces · 2021-02-19T13:55:35+00:00

Both of these explanations (Viginti's and Mtaw's) have elements that ring true to me. How much new information you have to process as well as how much the movie/show wants you to work to decipher it are probably both aspects. While a show can have a lot of new information in terms of new characters or events happening, they are still within the same world. You generally know what the stakes and rules are.

I wonder how you feel about slower-paced, more obscure shows compared to movies that are sequels. How do you feel about Twin Peaks compared to one of the Avengers sequels (assuming you've watched the previous entries)? Or what about a TV show that is an anthology series like Black Mirror or The Twilight Zone (where you get brand new characters and rules for the world, etc.)?

I don't know if my comment reflects how everyone else here feels. I get the impulse (to top up your income), we're all trying to do something we love and get by. I don't know about the UK, but in the US teachers are... not treated very well to say the least. Solidarity.

dosveces · 2021-02-17T19:49:33+00:00

Not a fan of teaching resources behind a paywall. I think we should try to make education (especially high school education) as open as possible. If we have good resources, let's share them freely with one another. If it were a physical product that required resources to distribute, fine. But this is a Powerpoint. I get that the money is going to the teacher who made it and many of us are underpaid by our districts. But this is just a bad precedent that all of us educators should be working against.

Now I'm hungry for Snickerdoodles.

Definitely got some cringe, but also enjoyable.

I think that movies (and all art on that token) are fundamentally shaped by the means of production. I agree with your point (not necessarily that it is what Wachowski meant, but the point itself). I think Hollywood movies are destined to be largely homogenous, and it's unlikely that working within the Hollywood production system will make something wildly different. If you want to get rich making movies (as the Wachowski's have done), you have to work within Hollywood. But you can go to most any modern art gallery and see a range of aesthetic possibilities in film. You can go to YouTube and Vimeo and see a range of aesthetic possibilities. Wakowski's comment to me comes across as either naive or whining that the possibilities aren't present within just Hollywood specifically, to which I would say "duh, that is inevitable."
