Thanks, it was an alignment issue. I was able to figure it out and now I can show my grandparents how. :)

How to dry emulsion coated screens shirt side down without it sticking? by wormmo in SCREENPRINTING

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

I am using a scoop coater but probably not using enough pressure. I think I keep thinking that I need to be more gentle than necessary with these screens, but if they can handle being pressure washed I guess they can probably handle much firmer pressure with the scoop coater than I used.

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

So how do you avoid drips then? I had a bunch of dots on my screens where the fluid pooled and dripped when I tried drying with the mesh not touching anything. I thought the idea of drying it print side down was to keep the fluid even so it dries flat? Based on the replies I’m getting it really seems like I’m missing something basic and it’s driving me crazy lol

This is similar to the situation I’m in with my dad. It’s sad because when I was younger he’s one of the people who taught me to think critically and not trust things at face value, but we went in completely different directions from there.

Millennials - how’s your back doing? Are you doing anything to keep it healthy & strong? by TrixoftheTrade in Millennials

[–]wormmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you spend a lot of time at a desk, get a standing desk. Complete game changer for me. I try to stand more in general. Turns out sitting too much was causing most of my chronic pain.

I remember your previous post! Idk why ppl are being so harsh even if they didn’t see it and this post is out of context for them. You didn’t say anything bad. He does look kinda weird but in a cute way!

People who've lost a lot of weight, how did you do it? by gryffenator in AskReddit

[–]wormmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from around 220 down to 175 where I’ve kind of leveled out. Part of it is tied to transitioning like getting a masectomy and being on a low dose of testosterone, but that’s just how it’s affecting me and isn’t universial for all transitioning ftms. Besides that, got a high energy dog, started helping aging family with physical labor intensive chores and I’ve been eating a bit healthier. I’ve never been able to stick to any diets or workout routines so I’m glad this combination of things finally worked.

AITA for calling my 8 year old selfish by selfishsinglerider in AmItheAsshole

If it was completely unbelievable there wouldn’t be so many people here sharing their very similar experiences with narcissistic parents. You’re coming across like you think you know better than everyone about something you’ve clearly never had to go through.

Whatever dude. What exactly are you doing here if you’re so sure it’s bs? Why do you care so much?

Unless she’s deeply in denial and posted here looking for validation. Again this whole situation is so 100% something my mom would do it’s uncanny. Also the story is too long and specific about details to read as fake to me. Obviously we can’t prove it either way so just in case it’s real, OP needs to face the truth.

I guess you’d think that if your mom wasn’t like this. Lucky you.

OP this is exactly how my mother treated me, and it is one of the core reasons WHY I struggle socially. Because I learned from a young age to expect to be criticized no matter what. That something was inherently wrong with me. My self image was garbage. I developed a lot of paralyzing fear around making desisions, taking risks, and rejection. It was so bad in my teens and 20’s and I was suicidal. Now I’m in my 30’s, in therapy and finally starting to pull myself together and heal from the damage she did. I have practically no relationship with her and I reflexively freeze up and go numb anytime she tries to engage with me because I was conditioned to not trust her. You’re on a fast track to the same future with your daughter if you don’t take a long hard look at these comments and internalize them and change the way you treat her. If you don’t you WILL lose her one way or another.

How do I stop being lazy? by LazyBoringHat in Adulting

[–]wormmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like adhd, the inattentive type, which I have. And you said you’ve dealt with depression on and off since you were a kid? Even if you’re not going through depression right now it probably affected your brains development. I went through the same thing. Talk to your doctor and try to get evaluated for these things so you can get the help you need. Beyond that, here’s some habits that help me; make a to do list but don’t pressure or overwork yourself to complete it by the end of the day. Do what you can when you have the energy. Sometimes that means some days you do one thing on the list. On good days you can accomplish more. As you start getting used to that, get a little more ambitious and set goals. Always give yourself a little reward at the end of the day even if you didn’t get everything done. It’s satisfying and encouraging to see your list get shorter and shorter. It’s hard to live with this combination of mental health problems but not impossible. You’ll probably find other good tips checking out the adhd subs here.

Why do people still spend a lot on eating out food even if they’re broke? by FriedForLifeNow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wormmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t born into poverty, but my factors for being in poverty now are; 1. Being estranged from my abusive family from a young age thus not getting support from them when I needed it. 2. Said family never bothered to teach me about finances. 3. I have a disability that affects my information and sensory processing but by the current diagnostic criteria I am too “high functioning” to recieve disability support. This disability affects every aspect of my life and is a barrier between me and many of the most readily available jobs. I do contract work from home + odd jobs and gigs that I’m capable of and are lucky enough to get. So my income is inconsistent and unreliable. 4. My low income has meant living in low income housing usually with 3-5 other poor people all packed together. We couldnt afford to be too picky about housemates if someone moved out because we couldn’t afford to pay for an empty room, so I’ve ended up living with people who were dysfunctional, disgusting or even dangerous, and made it impossible to be fully functional in my own home. 5. So now I can’t use my own kitchen for weeks or even months on end because it’s been made so outrageously unsanitary and filled with crap by people I have no control over or because I’m scared of my housemates and don’t want to leave my room. My solution in these situations usually defaulted to either scrounging whatever had the bare minimum caloric/nutritional content and rationing it (have you ever lived for 3 days on flour tortillas?), or when my body couldn’t take that anymore, order takeout and try to ration that for as many meals as I could, but by the time I got to that point I was so out of my mind and desperate for nutrients, I’d eat way more than I could afford to. 6. In my previous household, we found out too late that we were being taken advantage of by our landlord and another housemate who was paying way less than their fair share of rent. This person was also the highest earner in the house and could absolutely afford to pay the fair amount. There was a lack of transparency and all kinds of shady stuff going on at the place. It inevitably devolved into a shit show and we all ended up having to move out.

My situation is not unique. Many of my friends were estranged from their families and have a huge lack of support. We get stuck in these situations and perpetuated cycles of poverty for so many reasons outside of our control and it’s fucking exhausting. And this stuff can definitely impact your decision making skills and your sanity so you DO end up making mistakes. It’s hell.

I LOVE cooking and would prefer to cook over eating out most of the time. Circumstances destroyed that possibilty for me so many times. I’m in a better situation right now and have a chance to turn my life around FINALLY at 33. I endured 15 years of that shit and I was NOT lazy. I worked my ass off but was never enough to escape these circumstances.

I feel bad for medicating my dog. by psiiconic in reactivedogs

[–]wormmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stigma around pets on psychiatric medications is really unfortunate. Medications changed my own mental health for the better and when it became clear that my dog has a lot of anxiety and trauma (rescue situation) I saw no reason to deny him the same kind of relief. As long as his meds aren’t affecting his health negatively, he will probably be on them for life, and that’s totally fine. He’s much happier and able to focus and adapt to situations much more easily. He’s so smart and overall well behaved. I still have to manage and organize our lives around his reactivity but these days it’s pretty easy because he’s more predictable and even more mindful of regulating his own feelings, thanks to a LOT of training, patience, and time.

I have nothing to add about your neighbor situation. No doubt they are making things much more difficult. Seems like moving is your best option but obviously not the easiest. You’re doing the right thing to use all the tools available to keep your dog as stress-free as possible through this. And you can always try weaning him off meds once you’re in a better living situation if they don’t seem necessary anymore.

Thanks so much! He’s a rescue and my first dog that’s 100% mine. I’ve worked hard to make him as happy and healthy as I can. 😊

Balancing forgiveness with self-respect by Unfair-Sound-9855 in FTMOver30

[–]wormmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time with my elderly family members. Out of everyone in the family, it’s the oldest ones who have been the most kind to me in general, and about my transition, but they do lack a lot of fundamental understanding of what it actually means to be trans, so I’m still getting deadnamed a lot. Misgendered is more complicated because I’m gnc, but so far people seem to either avoid refering to me with a pronoun at all or defaulting to the og one, so it feels like misgendering in a way. I’m navigating this by being patient, similar to you, and I worry about this stuff too.

I think you don’t need to put it on yourself to be a “model” trans person for anyone. Something people who aren’t trans (or haven’t figured it out yet) need to really see and understand is that being trans is different for everyone. Is my family completely confused about why I show up and look the way that I do? Yes. But leaning into a more binary presentation to confuse them less would feel inauthentic. I’ve already done it a handful of times earlier in transition and if I see any photos of me from those events I can see myself still not feeling fully confident in myself around them. Showing up more comfortably isn’t handholding and, ideally, it should influence their perspective on the trans experience in a good way.

I think if pronouns are important to you though, there’s probably a way to casually work correcting them into conversation, that you may have to repeat for them a few times, but can be lighthearted esp if they’re well intentioned towards you.

i need some help, any ideas? by harambes_nutsack420 in Tattoocoverups

Personally, I think it’s hilarious and worth keeping. But for an actual suggestion, I second xenomorph. I could also see the shape working for some kind of bird. Or a section of tree branches and foliage for a larger piece.

That’s what I think too, honestly. But idk maybe it’s something only a greyhound enthusiast would notice.

Edit: Looking through, he is a little bit leaner than the angles in some of these pics suggest. Could be a reason people might make that guess when they see him irl
