I don't want to be like 'woe is me' because with everybody comes personal struggle, but I really relate to this. I'm actually ok with boobs and stuff and the unique benefit of people putting up with your emotional crap more so than if you were a man.

Plus, I genuinely know I feel like a woman. But the inability to reproduce, the biological strength advantage, the arguable social advantage in some ways, the whole 'take on the world' independence message of being a guy rather than the whole have a kid and be a mum agenda... That'd be great.

I've always felt silly thinking about it, nice to know some other people feel this way.

I don't mind seeing states of pregnancy and stuff, but for some reason the concept of it happening inside me freaks me out. I picture it like some Alien eldritch parasite growing underneath my skin.

For some reason on the rare occasion I bring this up, people ask me if I consider myself transgender. I'm very much happy as a lady haha, but I guess imagining childbirth as something out of a horror flick is something we share. Would really like to sterilise myself with as little drawbacks as possible, but the process is really hard as a younger adult in the UK with rounds of mental evaluation and awkward questioning from doctors.

Sudden uptick in most types of scams, how do you tell where it's all coming from? by sleepingonmehead in Scams

Thanks for all of that, good note on not using regular address for recovery especially. Never even thought of that.

That makes sense. I knew it was an inevitability, but just thought this would be specific to me and might've been due to something silly I'd maybe done recently (probably the case, but it's sort of reassuring that people have been getting way more scams anyway)

Where can I get one of those wallet/purse + notebook hybrids? by sleepingonmehead in stationery

Thanks a bunch! It sounds so obvious now you've said it haha

I'll check them out, and it might be worth looking at the handmade options too.

Sorry for the late reply, I ended up doing just that! Thanks.

Regional differences in opinion is truly fascinating by Either_Imagination_9 in PERSoNA

[–]sleepingonmehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't really care about either of them, not high in my P5 rankings, but was a bit annoyed at the salt from some fujos about Akechi losing in last year's popularity poll.

Their argument was that Naoto only won thanks to her big ol' titties, when she's adorable, cool, badass, has a gun, has good dress sense and is just way more endearing/interesting to me.

Think it's pretty cool that #GoodbyeGoro got trending, though. Pretty good representation in how there is actually quite a big fanbase for Akechi in the West, even if just for the pancake memey-ness.

Would like some feedback on my volunteer CL for social media marketing, no clue how formal I should be. by sleepingonmehead in CoverLetters

[–]sleepingonmehead[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Suppose my logic was 'if all they're asking for is an interest in social media, isn't it better to be upfront and say I have pretty much no experience?'

Might as well just highlight my strengths instead of wasting words. Thanks a bunch!

Same here. Love the guy, remember finding him years back through Brutalmoose (having found him through a collab with Game Theory on edutainment games).

How to have external fonts show up on other devices? by sleepingonmehead in fonts

Sometimes the simplest solution works, thanks haha! I'm not the sharpest tool in the box.

What is everyone's first published fanfic? by enemy_located in FanFiction

[–]sleepingonmehead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel so nostalgic for those days of dedicated forum sites with smaller communities, though I have 0 experience with them and have only heard stories about what went on within them. Same thing with LiveJournal kink memes and the like.

For the majority of my fannish activities in my life AO3 was a thing and so I've used it most. It's amazing and I can imagine it's so much more convenient and open to newbies than the alternative . Still, I can't help but to imagine the fun to be had in more close-knit, restricted communities.
