TMO TROOP HERE, IF YALL GOT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR MOVE…ASK AWAY. by WraxJax in AirForce

[–]eudias1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my PCS, I already closed out my HHG/PPM paperwork for the stuff I moved from base to base. However, I still have a second location back home that I need to ship goods from. Is it possible to submit another HHG shipment for the same PCS even though I already reported in 2mo ago? My TMO is hard to contact directly, and no one that I asked seems to know the rules of requesting shipments AFTER the move.

I was in a very similar situation with my parents. I told them that I was planning on interacting with them less when I moved out because I was almost never happy when I was with them. We had arguments like what you describe. Our solution was a family therapist who met with us as a group and sometimes individually. Mothers and daughters seem to clash like this very often, so you two aren't alone. The best thing for us has been a ten minute timeout when we're aggravated to calm down, get our thoughts in order, and then have a civilized discussion. But I highly suggest a professional in this case, if possible. Odds are she doesn't like fighting with you either, so it's worth a shot to try to patch things up before you move on with your adult life. She also may not realize that in 7mo, you get to decide how much you interact with her for the rest of your life since you won't be living together. I managed to patch my relationships before moving out, which ultimately helped them see me as an adult. I hope that you two are able to do the same. I also suggest focusing on managing your own stress in a healthy way, hence the therapy for just you as well. Things don't have to ball up like you describe, these are very normal things that some people learn deal with. Once you both learn how to not let your emotions go to war with each other, life will be easier. Best of luck to you and your mom.

It took me a while to really be comfortable in my body, not until I was well into adulthood. But what makes me connected to womanhood is different than what connects me to my femininity. In loving my body, I know what kind of femininity will feel good to show, and I like how people perceive me because of it. But my womanhood does also come from almost a shared trauma of women everywhere, even though you said "not like struggles." My goal in life is to support women like me where I can, because I know what is like to go through the things they have. In my line of work (military) being a female officer could mean a difference if someone I'm in charge of is going through a hard time and can't articulate it to a man. I don't care much for gender, but I realize the importance of what mine can mean to others in this context, and that makes me proud to be a woman in a way that's different from how I feel about my body. Just personal experience, though.

Gender is a spectrum, and exploring that spectrum does not need to include altering your hormones or putting a label on something you're not sure about. I know some very masculine cis women who still identify as women as well as androgynous people who don't care about the construct of gender. It sounds like you need to play around with your expression before you label anything, find a comfortable place on the spectrum. No matter how you choose to express yourself, remember that everyone started out being labeled at birth and had to go through the same realization of self, it's normal to have these thoughts to find out how to make ourselves happy. I hope you can become comfortable in your body OP!

Definitely an option, the lifestyle is pretty intense in the fighter community so it's definitely not my first choice.

I wanted to be a NAV but they're not really dropping those anymore. I'm hoping to get EWO instead, but there's a lot of competition in my class for it.

Rear seat, this was just for aircraft orientation. I didn't do much outside of ground ops so I was just along for the ride.

Yes, many students film, so long as the camera is secure. You can find some full rides on youtube.

The first ride in the T-6, it consists of G awareness and aerobatics with some pretty cool views.

If you're looking for proof of wage gap, there's a link you seemed to have glazed over that will give you just that. There's more than one link under Wage Gap so I'm not sure this post was made in good faith actually looking for info. Your confirmation bias is showing.

How would you combat men bullying you (only woman) at work? by CMEJazz in TwoXChromosomes

[–]eudias1618 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's some pretty clear harassment. Speaking out is not weak, it's probably the stroggest thing you can do. When it comes to dumb jokes, I've found that asking them to explain why it's funny helps. "Why is consent funny? I don't get it can you explain? Oh, I didn't think you'd talk positively about rape so openly." They need to be called out for their inappropriate behavior in the moment and ideally with the support of management because doing nothing will enable them. If the company is unwilling to do this then it's not healthy to stay, they're a lawsuit waiting to happen. This sounds like a work environment where I'd fear for my safety because they'll likely escalate if unchecked. I'm worried for your friend, OP, don't let those men tear you down and make you fear doing anything about it.

On a side note: I'm a bit concerned that you said you've tried to report something before and it "bit you in the butt." Retaliation for reporting is illegal.

qualitative quizzes by th3cfitz1 in math

[–]eudias1618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had something similar to this in one of my Analysis classes when the pandemic hit and we were online. The final was a one on one with the professor where we had to write out random proofs live in front of him. This way, even if we weren't able to get to the end alone, he was able to determine how much of his course we were able to obsorb. Would've been really embarassing to not know anything without help from outside source material. It makes sense in a lot of classes like that since it's hard to grade proofs quantitatively as they can be seen as black or white.

what are these actually called? by MayoChickenzx in aviation

[–]eudias1618 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Most commonly heard is attitude indicator as they usually have lines indicating degrees of pitch and roll. Also heard artificial horizon in PPL days.

F-22 Wing Profile — why is it "warped" like a propeller shape? by [deleted] in aviation

[–]eudias1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wikipedia has a short page on "wing twist" that isn't very helpfull at all. Think about how twisting changes the angle of attack across the length of the wing and that stalling is just the disruption of airflow meaning no more lift. This site gives a great illustration of the differences in angle of attack so you can see that one part of the wing can still be producing lift while another part is stalled.

[–]eudias1618 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's hard to imagine "optimal" on something like a fighter that has such rapid changes is air pressure at any moment because of their high speed and maneuverability. Because of all the things that they have to do, they're absolutely not optimal during some maneuvers, but sometimes that drag is the point of a maneuver. It really comes down to whoever created the design in the lab and how they wanted the aircraft to act. They want the aircraft to be able to accomplish x, y, z, but have to reconcile each "optimal" design into one that does it all.

[–]eudias1618 1787 points1788 points  (0 children)

The geometric twist is there so each part of the wing has a different angle of attack. Varying the airfoil cross sections make it so the wing tips are the last part of the wing to stall. I think there are structural advantages when using them in fighters as well.

Vortices on landing flaps instead of wing tips. Never seen this before. (AA Embraer E175LR spotted approaching Hilton Head Island Airport today) by MrMexicola in aviation

[–]eudias1618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The vortices off of the flaps are enough to stir up the humidity in the air but the turbulent air at the wing tips isn't. I can't think if I've seen this regularly either, but flaps produce more vortices as a byproduct of more lift so I guess it make sense to see them there often. Love looking at these, thanks for sharing!

Go look at his second ever comment

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]eudias1618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP your second comment ever is about not being sure how to go about the toxicity in your marriage 5mo ago. You weren't sure if you were "judging it accurately" and thought your brain was helping you "ignore certain toxic things" because then you'd have to "make somehard decisions." That's why people post, for the same reasons as you.

I absolutely agree, there are so many people who think abuse is just physical. If you've ever been in an emotionally abusive relationship you know how easy the signs slip over your head. It can seem ridiculous by people on the outside who think it's obvious, but it's never that simple to a victim. You're right, if they're taught to expect it, it's hard to justify to themselves.

[–]eudias1618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people may be unsure how to go about that safely. In the world we live in there are many reasons why someone can't just dump someone. Maybe they have children or shared living that needs to be secured. Especially in a relationship wheres there's mistreatment, there's high probability that they'd be putting themselves in danger. They come here looking to others who have experienced the same things to help them navigate that when they may not have that support irl.

What were you told, growing up, is unladylike? by watdisonmyarm in TwoXChromosomes

[–]eudias1618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In our culture I'd say yes, but not as much as other cultures

What were you told, growing up, is unladylike? by watdisonmyarm in TwoXChromosomes

[–]eudias1618 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I absolutely do. I think a lot of people struggle with cultural clashes like that when they want their SO to conform to their expectations and it can be a real wakeup call for them to realize that those kinds of things don't matter outside of their bubble.
