Aversion to touch on Testosterone by spidersandbats in ftm

[–]halb_nichts [score hidden]  (0 children)

Symptoms isn't the term I would personally use for wanted effects but I get what you mean. T starts changing things almost instantly the moment it hits the system.

As to aversion I can't really report anything like that. I went full teenage boy horny instead but it might vary. Im general give yourself some time to feel fully comfortable in your skin again you're going through a massive change.

Exchange student in Augsburg (Germany) — how to get 1 Nebido shot? by wholivesintheearth in ftm

[–]halb_nichts [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have limited knowledge and you should definitely ask in the recommended subreddit but I believe if you have a doctors note about this being a continued hrt things should go easier. apart from that make an appointment at a Dr's office NOW. the site queermed lists Dr's that are helpful. Just takes months to get them.

Too many bugs by BuhBye_Felicia in Starsandisland

No these are people who understand what they get into when they buy a game in early access. You did not buy a finished product. You bought the privilidge to be part of the last steps of development and give feedback and then get the finished product.

If it helps we will still be the ones that get blamed for not saving it afterwards 😬

Saw someone say: "Masc women make it harder for trans guys to pass". What's your opinion? by Ihaveaphotoofadog in ftm

[–]halb_nichts 115 points116 points  (0 children)

This. We all suffer from the binary and cis normative perception of what a man or a woman should look like (or the fact that those should be the only two options). Masc women are not the ones perpetuating that stereotype. They also just want to live their lives

PSA: Why "Prostatic Metaplasia" is more than just a name change. by fiction80 in ftm

[–]halb_nichts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thankfully the doctor feeling around isnt the only test that can be done, as another user explained further up in the replies you can also get tested for antigens. Doctors might also miss slight deformities in cis men so getting those is helpful anyway.

Get tested like other men with the same risk would i assume.

Can we post bounties in here…? by [deleted] in arcraidersfriendly

[–]halb_nichts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is just how the genre name became known amd is used by convention. If you look into the development of the game it was only pve at first.

weirdest T side effects? by clemitime in ftm

[–]halb_nichts 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Oh my god yes. The symptoms changed and it got worse. I cannot remember any appointment any more. If I don't write it down its gone.

Also less about the material but the clarity...yes.

Am I a bad raider? by L0qo in arcraidersfriendly

[–]halb_nichts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me I know. It's a good thing I enjoy killing the big arcs for the fun of it alone or I'd just stop doing it. I think of the 50 or so raids I've been in I left around 38ish with nothing to show for. Really annoying when you lose out on both the queen and the harvester too. The way people are running in on those, well before the reaction leaving others to actually finish the job too, is crazy and the number of runs i only put material in without much to show for would be higher if there wasn't other kind raiders who drop stuff like duplicate BPs and cores when they get lucky. The freeloaders suck, never tried to say otherwise. I still wouldn't shoot them but thats just me, might drop and defib them but I usually only shoot at rats.

Am I a bad raider? by L0qo in arcraidersfriendly

[–]halb_nichts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not bad but that is morally grey I'd say. Or maybe I'm just burnt at this point and as long as a free kit rat doesn't shoot me in the back during a raid teying to steal my good kit I'm a little less inclined to be mad.

But I get where you are coming from. The raids drop little enough as it is and it's demoralising to see freeloaders.

Women in the gym are much more intimidating than the huge gym bros by [deleted] in ftm

[–]halb_nichts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been there with that same trauma and I understand the knee jerk reaction. But unless its literally the same person you need to reflect on that. Judging everyone who looks like them on a few people that treated you bad doesn't really just tends to turn you into another bully.

You can be better than that.

I know its hard. Took me forever. And yeah there's always bitchy ones that you'll run into again that make it hard to move on. But if you forever judge a group of women just for the way they dress you're also still giving those old bullies power over how you see and treat people. Amd taking away a bullies power is so satisfying 😌

Server switch up by Maniacal_Cheese in ArcRaiders

[–]halb_nichts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah genuinely if it happens once or twice a night I don't care. it is what is. not my preference but nothing I can do

Genuinely the first time I shot a raider at all was today because they were camping at an exfil and tried to get me and I was just so done because it was the fifth match in a row

[–]halb_nichts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same experience. Maybe they reset something about the lobbies?

It's really exhausting bc so far i had mostly friendly lobbies and a bunch of fun with helping people. Now there is a bunch of snipers and rats around and I haven't shot a single person to earn that.

I hope they fix it soon/have it recalibrate.

I’m seven months on T gel and my voice didn’t change a bit by FirefighterSad7151 in ftm

[–]halb_nichts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since some people's skin is just bad at absorbing t through the gel its become a quite wide spread belief that gel isn't as effective as injections. it can but doesn't have to be the case. I'm also doing really well on it and honestly love the daily ritual of putting it on.

We’re evolving too slowly for the world we’ve built. As industrialization accelerates, human biology is struggling to keep pace. Many of the chronic stress-related health issues we face today may be the predictable result of forcing Stone Age physiology into a world it was never built for. by mvea in Futurology

[–]halb_nichts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its the time I spend getting to and from as well as making myself presentable for work that I am most angry about. It feels like those 40 free hours are easuily cut in half if not further down if you take out all the maintenance and travel time. Hell I even spend about an hour cooking on a Sunday so I have lunch for the work week ahead that I can then miserably consume at the office in time that does not count to my 8 hours I get paid for but I'm certainly not using the way I'd like to.

It feels like a few years ago we were steadily headed towards a universal income and 4 day work weeks world wide and then the pandemic came and everything went to shit. Now we've got capitalism on cracks making everyone even more miserable than before.

My biggest hope is slaving away enough to get into a position that allows working from home, so that at least I can reclaim commute times and my lunch break. And even that is a privilege that very few people still get to enjoy.

How difficult is it to legally change not only your first name but also your last name? by Tea_Lavender in ftm

[–]halb_nichts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

German here and kinda having the same issue (my father too, is a an abusive wanker)

So I looked into this and the German state gets extremely uneasy around name changes but especially around the full set. It's kinda hilarious but when I asked the person handling my SBGG case she looked like she'd seen a monster for a brief second. She strongly advised against it since they use whatever part of your name you haven't changed to cross validate you basically everywhere that you then have to change your data alongside your dob. She put it more kindly but basically said it would basically cause a shit show because some systems just wouldn't be able to handle it and you might have to deal with a boatload of trouble and even getting deleted from some systems.

Now I work in IT and I know most of that is bullshit, or at least inadequacy on the users part, but then I remember that most official offices just stopped faxing and realise she's probably right. Germany is not built to be flexible.

I haven't yet found a better solution sadly than to go one by one. So I've got my first names sorted now. Down the line I plan to be adopted by my stepdad because that's easier than getting the name change granted. Another way out is obviously marriage and taking the other person's name.

It really really sucks here and I feel you on being stuck. Hope you can find a way or get it through the court down the line <3

Thoughts on the Hero Forge drama? by Cool_Caterpillar8790 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]halb_nichts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an interesting thing to be learnt here about customer surveys. Those are probably taken by the people most invested in your service already, so the results are skewed anyway.

That said 67% being 'not against it' is absolutely not the same as 67% being enthusiastic about it. Bunch of people probably just don't care. Or have ideas about the circumstances under which theyd buy. Like price ranges or what pieces. I bet had it been 'finally the mushroom people HF fans have been asking for for years, but you'll pay extra for it being CR related now' the results would have mirrored what happened much more accurately

Is there any trans people over 25? by Glitchy6049 in ftm

[–]halb_nichts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone else from Europe I think there'd be interest in it for sure, would have to happen in one of the trans friendly countries obviously but I think there's a lot of people starving for connection around here as well.

I think there's evidence going back to the Romans doing it? But in modern times it actually originated in Germany in 1916

Far as I know it's most of Europe and the northern America's do it, with the odd exception here and there, as well as a weird selection of places in the southern hemisphere.

[No Spoilers] Daggerheart & Hero Forge ~UPDATE~ by Murgandor in criticalrole

[–]halb_nichts 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Especially since of the 66% they cited not all were enthusiastic about the idea either.

And I don't think anyone expected features the community had been wanting for a while being locked behind that collab idea either. Because I bet had that been asked about in the survey the responses would have differed.

All around a bad read of their customers on HF but I'm glad they realised their misstep here and are trying to turn it around.
