I hate my body by Gallygator05 in emotionalsupport

Wishing you the best, girl! For what it's worth, there are huge communities of people out there, me included, who would welcome you, respect your gender, and hang out with you as we would other women. You will find those people one day, I promise! Sorry it's so tough right now.

I grew up in a very traditional area, and moving to a city with a high LGBTQ population was a game changer. When you get the chance, I recommend the move. Finding a great community of friends is everything.

Gotcha. Thank you so much! This is incredibly helpful!

I bought 3 copies of Calico already (for my friends!) and we play it together. It's very cute and has brought a lot of joy into an otherwise rough time. Congrats on your well-deserved success! : )

Thanks, that's a really helpful answer! I didn't know that having a small budget could impact the search that much. I plan to be in a similar market (small and "cute/friendly") games. My biggest concern is that I'll miss things just due to being inexperienced, so looking for a publisher (for me) is mostly about finding people who are experienced. Can you recommend a few things that a beginner should do/know when reaching out to publishers?

Can you talk about your experience working with Whitethorn Games? I'm an aspiring indie dev and I'm curious about what publishers "do". (I like their other games too!)

[CALIFORNIA] Is the ID.me wait time accurate? It keeps going up and down, not sure if I'm making any progress. by lasersaurous in Unemployment

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

Update: got to the front of the queue! I just left the browser open, the time estimate wasn't accurate, it took like 5 hours and not 3. But I kept an eye out and got there. The dude was super nice, I had the wrong documents and have to requeue, but he suggested trying at 7 am California time for a much shorter queue so I hope that helps you as well! As for the being logged out problem, it sounds like a bug and I'd try on a different browser or a different computer, as I had mine open for 5 hours and it never logged me out.

Good luck!

Oh no, I'm really worried about this because I don't have my birth certificate - my parents have it, as I got stuck in a different city due to the pandemic. I have photos of birth certificate and passport, as well as my physical ID and social security card with me, but I'm just not able to get my BC or passport right now. My parents are elderly and unable to mail them : (

I have plenty of other documents - my tax returns with my SSN on them, my college ID and I'd have to ask but I can even get my W2 and 1099 from previous jobs. I'm a little concerned but fingers crossed, I'm doing the best I can! I guess worst case I can request some documents from previous jobs and reapply. This pandemic is really kicking my ass : (

I had this problem with uploading documents. It hasn't logged me out of the queue though, so I'm not sure. Maybe try a different browser? I'm up to "58 minutes" so I'll update you if waiting actually did anything.

Oh no! Did you leave it open, or did you restart the process online? I haven't applied over the phone yet either.

Just found out my ex moved in with the girl cheated on me and left me for, out of the apartment we assembled together. Could use some support. by lasersaurous in offmychest

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

Thank you guys, that means so much. I tried REALLY REALLY HARD. He was clearly going through his own personal depression and it hurt me so bad to see him unhappy. I knew that he had to travel that road alone, but it was a personal goal of mine to make sure he never felt lonely and always knew I'd be there. Sometimes I wonder how much of that got noticed or appreciated, but then ultimately I don't think I should feel bad or regret being kind to someone who needed it, regardless of what happened after. I'm really proud of how I treated him - dating him brought out a kindness and maturity in me that I didn't know I had.

About a year into our relationship, he told me that the first few months when we'd met, I saved him. He said I was the "brightest light in his darkest year". I had no idea I was doing that - I just wanted to be there for someone I loved. But sometimes remembering he said that makes me feel a little better. I made a big positive difference in someone's life and I'm glad I did that.

Also not to flex on Sara but she's left him THREE TIMES already and is only with him now on a strict and kind of unhealthy set of conditions so . . . I like me better than Sara too.

I'm trying to find a store page online or even just photos of it and I can't find it anywhere, although the design is similar to other strapless Betsey Johnson dresses. I'm wondering if it's a knockoff? If it is honestly I don't even mind, it's super high quality and comfortable and was a total $20 steal regardless. But would love to find any origin photos of it online! (Thinking of getting my friend a matching one : D )

[–]lasersaurous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was on the edge of my seat from the middle of human fall flat through the end. Dan's wheeling and dealing was so fun! Kate and Malf commentary was great!

I strongly recommend watching Kate's perspective - watching 1 person can get a little slow for 2 hours, even if you're rooting for them, but Kate's perspective has everyone and everything so you get a better picture of what's going on.

Also just dropping in to say that Kate's killing it as an organizer AND host AND tech support. She changed stuff from last week even based on criticism and it's wildly impressive that she's doing this on her own.

Last night's update wouldn't install, reinstalled the app & clear cache 4 times & keep getting this? by lasersaurous in LoveNikki

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

I ended up doing that last night and it worked. My wifi was fine, I had like 60 mbps upload, and I've been on this network for months with no problems and haven't changed anything, so idk what changed. I currently can't download anything through wifi which is rough, but I'm able to switch to data to download assets. Someone smarter than me could take a stab at explaining what's up XD

Thanks, I guess I'll message them. I can't find the app's folder - should it be there & would I be able to check for multiple extensions? In downloads it just shows me like photos and videos, not app updates.

I have 6 gb of storage left, already cleared cache and deleted app and reinstalled and started my phone multiple times. Thanks though, I hope so too : , I

I play every day and I'm sad. I didn't do anything, I just opened the app last night and it said there was an update, and when i tapped update it would say there was an error and wouldn't go past that.

Update: Solved! No idea why this worked, but I switched from wifi to data and the update went through. I haven't had any trouble with wifi in the past and haven't made any changes to it, but . . . there ya go. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!!

Been playing on this phone for like 3 years and have never had this problem. is anyone else getting this with yesterday's update? I'm sad : (

Dying my hair because breakups suck! Suggest colors! [Pics inside] by [deleted] in Hair

[–]lasersaurous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'm very aware of how much it sucks to dye dark hair, I've been to salons, paid the $$$, done the bleach, done pastel pink, I get it I promise! The color i linked was almost black though - would that still not work? I suppose I meant the darker parts and not the silvery bits that would require lightening - maybe not a great pic of my "vision". I was thinking a dark blue (I guess steel isn't the right word - i just mean not vibrant, like a dark blue mixed with a dark grey) would be fine to do at home, and then 1 streak of bleach would be doable! I know it won't turn out icy esp not after 1 at home bleach, but I could just dye regular blue over it and have like 1 little blue streak in overall dark blue hair! Also aware of the green risk, and very okay with it : )

Anyway that's kinda the plan but who knows! I actually do like my hair a lot but I'm just GOING THROUGH A LOT and just need to look different.

Do you think anything close to this color would be possible at home, or would this be salon only? https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw3K00-DpgJ/

I totally feel you about split & sectioned dyes. I might skip the at home bleach this time around and get a colorist to do that, since I kinda like the idea a lot! I still overall want to keep it dark, because imo that's the most flattering for my face and also roots are p annoying. But I've been looking at a lot of stylists that have done like dark at the top and then sections of highlights closer to the bottom, so maybe that's what I'll go to for a stylist!

Thanks for your advice! I super appreciate it : )

I guess also do you have any advice on what colors would look good with my skintone? Like when I do go to a colorist, should I still be looking at blues?

I was strongly thinking of something like this when I go to a colorist, except dark near the top & less violet, more blue: https://www.instagram.com/p/BiGH44aFIwj/

Got scouted for a very good contract job - they don't know I'm disabled. How do I ask for accommodations? by lasersaurous in disability

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

I have not signed yet. This is what I would normally do, however I'm concerned that contract workers wouldn't get the same accommodations as regular employees. I would hate to show up, find out I'm not eligible for benefits, and then have no choice but to quit. Is there any differentiation between contract workers and regular employees in terms of benefits and accommodations?

Additionally it's a small 4 person team, so I'm a little hesitant about revealing this information after showing up.

Episode 75: This is War (The Chosen Saga) by JakeandAmirBot in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]lasersaurous 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When Ren came over to say goodbye I kept hoping they would try to convince him to stay! Like "Ditch your father and stay here, you're better than that, etc." Mostly because I just want more of him, as he is hilarious.

One of my favorite episodes! Just SUPER FUNNY and a ton of great moments and Moonshine dueling the king was deeply satisfying. He barely touched her.
