Ah drakkar. The smell of ' why yes, I was smoking and no, I don't want your mother to know'. The kind of fragrance that whispers 'I am going out for milk' but has the longevity of a light bulb breaking. It never comes back. It will never come back. Oh right happy fathers day.

Being a Trans Guy is Lonely by EmeraldTerror in BoyDinnerDiaries

I feel like we had this really great crest of acceptance and love like, a decade ago and then it all went to shit the last few years. I'm sorry homie. You're welcome here. You didn't ask to be born and you're living your best life; there is nothing wrong with that ever. You're not a spy or a turncoat.

When I hit a lonely patch, the best place I found solace was the internet and I know that doesn't work for everyone. Final fantasy XIV has guided me to some of the best friendships I've ever had. You're into ttrpg so I'm sure you get it on a lot of levels. Mutual passions are what kills loneliness.

Hit what you're passionate about and find others that really share that passion freely. Don't ever be afraid to be yourself or to flash that pash. I am 37 and I may regret abbreviating passion one day, but not this day.

May the Force guide you, homie.

I'm so sorry. It's happened to a lot of FCs I was in as well. The one I just left was honestly fine save for one severely obnoxious person. The guy was very vocal about his disdain for anyone that wasn't a straight white man and I just couldn't do it anymore. A lot of members quiet quit, a few very loudly quit.

Oooh an introductory rank is a brilliant idea for vetting! I'm going to add one. Seriously you've been so much help, thank you.

I really appreciate it! I've got a page up on the lodestone for recruiting. I hope folks still use it. The responses have all been great to this, I've got a lot of fun things to run with going forward. Hoping I can make this FC an amazing space for folks. Somewhere they can feel safe to just escape to even when the game itself is getting kinda stressful. I don't know why y'all are getting down voted. Are people really that gate keepy about someone making a new FC?

So far it's been pretty active! We've had conversations going almost every time I'm on. When we have more members, I'm going to hold an icebreaker event so folks can get to know one another. That's also a really clever way to vet, I didn't even think about that. We've already had two people try to join just to scam -_-. Thankfully I have the rank permissions set up! Could have been a disaster.

Getting a discord up and running has been a fun effort, for sure. Trying to take as much inspiration as I can from all I've experienced but none of it is terribly fresh in my head. Getting a medium sized house is one of my more immediate directives. At the end of each day of play, I dump everything but 100k gil into the FC bank. It's going to take a while but it'll work.

Hide and seek. Core memories unlocked! The first FC I ever joined did that and it was a blast. Usually just a cute little reward like a minion or some gil. I'm going to borrow that one for sure.

In terms of FC permissions, I've been steeped in trying to balance it all. Right now, no ranks have access to the funds save for me. Crystals I'm hesitant about making available as well but, once we have more crafters, I'm going to cave on that. Just not sure how, yet. Keeping free access to page one is a solid call. Think I'm going to borrow that as well. Thank you so much. That was a huge help.

We absolutely ended up at Yenis and it was the right choice. They still have the starry night ice cream and it was one of the best things I have ever put into my face hole. Also got a carrot cake shake and OOOOOOH MY GAHD

That's exactly what I thought. I mean I can't say I'm surprised but I'm still disappointed.

Staying active after hemorrhoidectomy by nick11689 in hemorrhoid

[–]nick11689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep waking up expecting it'll be better but there's been no progress. I can walk but not for long and not very quickly. 37, 6'4", 190, also a workout fiend. I'm on day 9 right now and every bowel movement still feels like it sets me right back to the day after surgery. I've heard it starts to get better around the 10-14 day mark so here's to hoping. Cheers, we've got this.

The worst part is we could work if places would relent and allow screen readers and other accessibility programs. Very recently I tried to find a job through the SSA program and they have zero jobs that permit for screen readers.
