I would've held out for a lifetime price lock on the MVNO personally. Wimps

I'm like a month behind on twitch vids but nl-smug quitting reddit-logo might be the example I need to kick it myself. I'd miss the topic-specific news and a couple fun subreddits, but the psychic benefits would be great. I hope he keeps it up

I'm feeling Carl Havok mode I'm afraid

Actually I think I'm gonna move most of my savings into a fidelity account and stick it in VBIL which is at 4.20% right now, plus it's state tax exempt. Then the rest in C1 for easy access

There were demos for a visual remaster with RTX remix a few years ago. I don't think much came of it, but I know the Half Life 2 RTX team has badgered Nvidia to add a ton of new tools to remix since then so maybe it's more likely now

I always check the APY on my bank account and for months it hasn't changed and it makes me feel silly... Until today.

Capital One thought they could sneak a 0.10% decrease past me the fuckers. I will become back my money (aka probably do nothing)

Scrutinizing this pic my sister sent of me as a very young kid to see what kind of doll I was playing with

It looks like a girls doll! This is very important for my gender narrative!

I've lost 60 pounds in 8 months on compounded semaglutide. I had pretty bad nausea issues a couple months into it, but it might've been from making too aggressive of a dosing jump (1.00 mg to 1.5 mg). The other annoyance is the price, as even the compounded stuff is pretty pricey and inuseance is loathe to cover it.

But still, it's been life-changing for me. Unless a doctor has a good reason to keep you off it, it's definitely worth a shot

For real. The only thing that's worked for are the GLP-1 drugs, and they're pretty expensive

It was kinda the inverse for me, I started losing weight first and that gave me more hopium that maybe I'd be able to see myself as an attractive girl

[–] RION@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

but idk how much is because of the effects of hrt, and how much is because of the weight loss

Yeah this is my exact conundrum 🙃

Apparently not, we're just built different

 

Slippy

I call him that cause he's slippy

 

My coworker told me to put my presentation in OneDrive so she could do some edits. Never got those edits... but when I sent the file to the MC of the meeting (which they didn't tell me I had to do until I was literally about to step into the board room) it rolled back to an old version without warning. Burned through a lot of my presentation time trying to fix it before just going ahead with the unfinished version which had casual placeholders. I was thrown off and sweating and out of time and it was just not good. The board was nice and seemed to pity me but I know it was bad.

I had a moderate crash out on the way back to the office but my boss said not to worry about it so just trying to move past it.

Lesson learned: fuck OneDrive. I'd heard horror stories but didn't listen...

 

It's gonna be just me in front of like 15 people in suits and stuff. I've prepped about as much as I can but still spooky. Send good vibes pls

 

This kind of semantic reasoning goes so hard. Sucks that it got picked up by the Atlantic but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

 

Consider that there could be an all-powerful AI in the future that really hates existence, such that it would simulate a million versions of the people who created it and torture them for eternity. There's no way to know for sure that you're not one of those simulations right now!

Now that you know of Noko's Basilisk, you have no choice but to... not make the torture robot.

Bonus Expert Variation: Noko's Puppydog

The same thing, except the AI doesn't punish the people that made it, only gives the people who didn't a really cute puppy.

 

Instead of making laws like normal a judge from a hundred years ago gets to be the authority unless yet another judge decides to overrule them and become the new authority???

 

I would like to know this. Please answer forthwith

 

Just realized the other day that it's gotten a lot worse. Not bald, but thinned on the crown to the point where the skin is very visible compared to the rest of my head. Then I took a picture this morning when my hair was still wet from the shower and it looked really awful even beyond the crown...

If I were a guy I could probably make peace with it, but I feel like I'm gonna need all the help I can get to appear feminine and this is so obviously not helping.

I'm getting blood work tomorrow to evaluate how my HRT is going which may shed some light on the situation particularly with T levels, but idk if they'll test for DHT. I ran out of finasteride like a week ago and stupidly didn't refill my prescription until just now, but the extent of my hair loss suggests it's not just from that. Might see if dutasteride will take me where I need to go, plus maybe some microneedling

Basically shit sucks and I hate it

 

the only character action game I've played before is Metal Gear Rising but I dropped it because it wasn't meshing with me, I kept trying to play it like dark souls. I think I might have just spent too much time with souls and salad sorting games and now my brain is closed off to proficiency in other games

 

I know it's got an i5-4570 in it and that lines right up with my old GTX 970 I've held onto release date wise. Stick some DDR3, a new cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 for authenticity), and new thermal paste in there and you're pogging out in Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Assassin's Creed IV or whatever else we were playing in 2013

 

idk as valentines day is coming around i feel especially lonely, but trying to date would open up a whole other can of worms.

To make sure someone would be attracted to me as I am now and as I (hopefully) will be, they'd basically have to be bi. But that feels like a very weird requirement to put out there... plus the idea of having to identify as a guy in a dating app is not an appealing one. this sucks.

 

Remember that
