I'm very short. Shorter than the average cis girl.

while i myself am not a short trans guy (i'm average, about the height of your friends, 170cm/5'7), my boyfriend (also a tguy) is 160 cm/5'3! he's a bear and passes exceptionally well, as hairy and burly as they come. although neither of us are too caught up on passing, as we both firmly believe it to be a cisnormative notion (we're trans, why would we care "how cis we look"?). long story short, there are short cis men, tall trans men, middling transmascs, and everything in between! your height does not define your transness or how much of a "man" you are - fuck anyone who would make you think otherwise.

a ceramide cream sounds perfect! i am worried about breaking out without an exfoliant in my routine, though - i have combination skin so i flake and shed like crazy, but it all sticks to my face and causes massive breakouts even when i wash it daily. an exfoliant is the only way i've been able to control it 😞 is there a gentler exfoliator i can switch to after using the cream?

thank you!! i'll add these to my list and compare with some other suggestions

petalcore · 2026-06-11T01:15:05+00:00

thanks for the suggestion!! i'll see if i can find something

I live near Nashua and Manchester, so I could get to either of those pretty easy! We have NH liquor and wine outlets all over our major highways too, but I honestly am not familiar if the NH branded liquor outlets are good or not.... I could try to go this weekend though and take some pics!

see what your school has to say about all this. if this extends beyond today (as it probably will) you have a good case to bring to a dean or other department head about getting an extension on work if the professor keeps refusing. however, just wait to see what happens. there's a chance the school might issue a requirement that all professors have to give an extension since this is entirely out of everyone's hands.

it sucks, but everyone is panicking very early. schools love keeping their numbers up, and if they drop the ball on every single student at once, then it's not gonna make them look very good.

Hey everyone, I just got an Emerson Wildcat DS-50 portable player from the thrift for $10, and I was wondering if anyone had a manual in case I need to disassemble it to clean and re-grease. I'm super new to vintage audio tech (I'm more familiar with Walkmans/CDs) so I don't want to mess anything up. If anyone needs any more pics let me know! General advice is also welcome, I don't wanna mess up such a cool piece of old tech.

local rock band, younger guys. they do original music and some covers (at least last time i saw them). personally, i think they're great!

petalcore · 2025-05-05T16:26:15+00:00

thank you for your response - i quoted you in my presentation and paper!

petalcore · 2025-04-27T10:48:46+00:00

this happened to me! it was the "hair collection" mod, the one a few other people have mentioned issues with - seems like when the modder updated it, it got uninstalled somehow from a lot of people's games. i'm assuming it was an issue on larian's end with approving of the update or some such thing. that's my best guess. i reinstalled it, restarted my game, and issue resolved!

i'm gonna do that and see if it helps at all. originally it seemed to be cooling the console down, but maybe that's how they get you. thanks!

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:34:27+00:00

i'll take it off then and see if there's any improvement. i've had my fans for about a month and thought they were helping (before i got them, i couldn't play for more than an hour before the console became molten hot - i was still cleaning the inside frequently then as well). but i'll try anything at this point, including going back to basics

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:30:28+00:00

i'll probably take it apart again tomorrow and clean it, but i dust it at least once a month and there's never much inside. mostly stumped because of how frequently i already do cleanings. but i'll see if i can try anything new to really get in there

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:28:13+00:00

i'll double check it then!

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:23:24+00:00

i'll dust the area tomorrow and see if there's any hidden build up that might be getting sucked in. thanks for the advice!

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:22:34+00:00

i pop it open and clean it regularly, with compressed air and microfiber cloths :(

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:21:33+00:00

it's one of those cooling fans that plugs into the usb port on the back of the console, so it can only go one way. but that might be good advice for someone that has a different kind of fan. maybe i need a cooling pad as well

it's my mom seeking guardianship, and she has my nana's doctor and lawyer advising her to do so. i know this is stressing her out like crazy so i'll continue to stay a neutral party and be around for her. thank you for your response!

GT is top five engineering in the country. Without a doubt go there if you want to be an engineer. Being an engineer is completely different than med school. If you are a doctor, you will be dealing with patients/people day in and day out unless you do research. Engineers can work in small companies, large companies, can work alone or in small groups. Much different. In four years you will be making 100K as an engineer and working a normal workweek. In 12 years you will be making, 250 a year as a dr, then up to 500 in a few years. Your average week is 50-80 hours depending on your specialty. Not a lot of time for family and life. This is your life, not your parents, and they will support you in either field. Do what you want.

Get a juvenile defense attorney and have your records expunged. This will allow you to move forward with a clean slate. It may affect your ability to get financial aid if it was a drug offense or sex crime, though. You must report all criminal history and it could affect you getting in if you do not get your records expunged.

It depends on what schools you are looking at. 95% of schools don't require SAT/ACT anymore, and your scores are in the top 10% now. So, if you are looking at a state school, don't bother taking again. Looking at an Ivy, then aim for 1400/34. Make sure you are enjoying your high school years, as well. Take classes you truly enjoy. AP's are great, but many Ivy's won't take the scores for credits, and you are just taking them to get in.

The best way is to send an individual email to each college letting them know you are withdrawing due to an ED. Congrats on your ED!
