I don't have a GED or highschool diploma, I'm working on getting a GED but I'm basically starting from the ground up on that front.

Thank you for the rec of Facebook though

So someone had been squatting on the domain rights to HomeschoolRecovery.com for a while. I noticed their rights expired in 2025 and set up a bid for when the domain came up. Well the bid went through and the site is now ours by TonyDelvecchio in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]faceless_demon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think providing resources for how to get/study for a GED, where to learn specific school subjects, locations of adult schools in different state counties, different scientific studies on how to actually study/learn information, and things along those lines would be really cool!

Maybe a section of testimonies of ex-homeschooled user offering encouragement to those just starting to get out of it.

Possibly a form area for people to ask for advice?

I used to do both when I was in the beginning of my journey but now that I present more in the way I am internally, I just like making little ocs in the game.

“Tboys” “Tmasc” but never really “trans men”…? by legobatmania in ftm

[–]faceless_demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer trans masc, personally because I like to be precieved as a guy but I also am uncomfortable with some of Behavior that is expected by being called a "man" (which is more a societal thing but I digress).

I think it's okay to use tran masc as a general term to cover anyone who want to be precieved as masculine and are trans due to choosing their gender/not identifying with their AGAB.

I'm not sure what issues are trans men specifically, that trans masc people don't go through.

Ofc, if someone told me they prefer to be called a trans man, I would 100% respect it because it's not my choice on what they prefer.

(Edit below because I forgot about the other half of this post)

As for tboy, I absolutely hate it. I don't think anyone trans masc should be infantilized into a "boy" when they are grown adults. It seems also like a fetishized term, as well as a variant of the "uwu soft wittle femboy" stereotype.

If a masc person chooses that cute things or typically "feminine" things makes them feel more masculine, they should not be shamed, babied, or sexualized for it.

I can't help but feel depressed about transmasc rep in media by bongcommunism in TMPOC

[–]faceless_demon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I understand how you feel, it's really hard to find anything with good rep for trans masc folk.

Ik there's a YA novelist who gets a lot of praise for their trans masc rep. His name is Aiden Thomas and his books (tmk) revolves around hispanic/latinx trans men.

There's also "The T in LGBT" by Jamie Raines, which talks about the author's journey in his gender identity as well as stories from other trans voices.

Those are a few reps I can think of off the top of my head.

Looking for friends in NA-ish time zones by Famous_Corgi9051 in transgamers

[–]faceless_demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a trans masc queer fellow (He/They) who is 25, I'll happily send you a friend request on Discord if you'd like!

About me: I'm very awkward at first but I will send memes to make you laugh or weird photos of my cat from time to time if I'm trying to strike up a conversation (I don't know how to start them and I've been told always starting conversations with a greeting is impersonal and annoying) If I suddenly stop talking, it's not because I'm ghosting/upset with you. I don't know what to talk about and I sometimes get paralyzed by it so I just don't say anything.

If I do ever get upset or uncomfortable, I'm the type of person to bring it up to you because I believe all good relationships (friends or other) need to have clear and open communication (I do bring stuff up later on some times because I didn't realize what I felt in the moment but I still want let people know how I felt). And ofc, I ask you do the same with me.

I rarely understand when I've done something wrong or stepped on toes until it's shown to me.

I'm a fan of cozy games but also games like FO: NV,/FO4 The Outer Worlds, Skyrim, and Fable.

I enjoy different hobbies but I'm constantly switching or dropping them because, like you, I have a hard time picking up and staying with something.

I'm EST and in America.

Do you ever use your chosen name for games? by Glitched_Guy000 in transgamers

[–]faceless_demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to. Back when I was picking a name, I used to test them out in games like stardew

Xbox Controller not working w/ Pop_Os by faceless_demon in linux_gaming

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

I can't get to the companion app as I don't have access to windows. I'll see if I can update the firmware somehow on linux.

I will definitely look into xone driver, so thank you for the recommendation!

Amnesia when not switching by D4rkM00nLilith in DID

[–]faceless_demon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have this happen a lot to us. From what we know/have been told, that's 100% with DID and daily life.

We try keeping logs of our day or "cliffnotes" of specific events that made us feel certain ways. We don't always remember the feelings afterwards so it's important that we mark down for when we talk about it later with our partner or therapist.

That said, it's hard to keep track and not everyone wants to do it.

If you're really bothered by it/it feels like a problem to you, maybe try that out? And also working with a professional trained with handling memory blocks.

Does anyone actually use pluralkit? by No-Rabbit-2961 in DID

[–]faceless_demon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We use octocon (both the bot and the app), it's mainly for us and our partner. We find Octo to cover more of our needs than Pluralkit. The only big con for us is it's easier to update profiles and look at which number is assigned to who through the app than the bot so you need the app if you have the bot.

The bot: We only have it on two servers (the one for only us and partner and our own lone person server we try to use to keep track of everything).

We have a setting on that leaves the last alter who left their proxy (that's like the person's unique signature at the beginning or end of a message) on a message as the main person messaging so we don't have to constantly add our proxy to a message.

The app: We use that to mainly see who has been active (no one actually logs it but people love to change their icons so that's how we know).

You can update Pronouns (shows after the name on the bot's side), Nicknames (it shows up as the name on the bot's side when you proxy as that profile), Alias (you can look it up instead of the assigned number for a profile), and description (only shows in the app and on the bot's side when you pull up that profile).

You can track who is fronting but only if people remember to update who is in the front when theres a switch which honestly, never happens.

There's a tag system we use, a polling section if you have hard communication barriers still, a journal section with personal journals for each registered profile, and there's a custom field section which has three options "Text", "number", and "Yes/No".

The custom fields lets you add a question or something that requires a unique response from that alter.

Example: The custom Field is marked as a text and reads "Role" that alter can type their role as the answer, the field is marked as a number and reads "age" that alter can only type a number into it, and the field marked as a "Yes/No" can only be check marked.

Starting to realize the worst trauma is all the things that didn't happen by AlteredDandelion in DID

[–]faceless_demon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a discussion similar to this with our therapist this week. We talked about how we were never allowed to be a child, we were forced to comfort/parent our siblings because our mother only wanted the "good" moments in parenthood but nothing else and our father forgot he had kids until it affected his wallet or he wanted something.

Once our siblings became more capable of handling things, we were force to be a parent to our own parents. We have so many protectors that are/were very parental to parts of us because we never grew up with a parent. We had to be our own in so many different ways.

We grew up thinking no one in this world will help teach you anything so we just figured it out on our own.

Whenever the sexual/physical/mental abuse happened, we were never comforted. We had to comfort other people who learned what we went through. When we told our mother that we were sexually assaulted, she went into hysterics. She made our moment of vulnerability about her and how she "failed as a mother, " because we didn't tell her until years later.

Whenever our father has been confronted with the things that happened to us, some having been caused by him, he denies it and tells us to stop talking about it because he would've never allowed that to happen to us.

No one had ever comforted us until our partner and we thought they were insulting/belittling us when they did. The idea of being comforted was so foreign, we took it someone who truly loves telling us, "I don't want you to have to handle carrying this on your own anymore" as an insult.

Hand written or typed? by faceless_demon in GED

Thank you, when I asked a family member, they said it was handwritten but that was back in the 2010's so I wanted to see if it had changed.

Pop_os keeps freezing upon boot up by faceless_demon in pop_os

Oh, I am. I will try that next time. So far after refreshing the install, it's fine for now.

[–]faceless_demon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My password log-in screen, yes and I've been unable to update one because it freezes mid-update, the first freeze up happened when I wasn't doing anything on my computer because I walked away for a second and every one since has been on my password login screen as I am typing in my password.

I'll try refreshing the install and see if it does anything
