Even without HRT(“ineligible,” for what reason, if I may ask?) I am very pleased to see you are otherwise having a very good experience with a lot of supportive folks! And I am glad you also have a good community at large to be a part of and that you enjoy being around.

🏳️‍⚧️ Shine on and keep being awesome! 🏳️‍⚧️

This reminded me of an old classic.

We all have to find our way–Who you are is you, and that is what makes you special.

Sounds like a license revocation waiting to happen.

And as the other comment said, you may want to find someone else who, you know, actually cares. As you deserve to have someone who does, nobody should be without the proper channels they need.

Le rock.

Waiting can certainly be grinding,

And it can feel neverending,

It is snowing on Mt. Fuji.

On a serious note, hopefully what you are waiting for gets to you sooner rather than later! You deserve the best, so get some lovely rest. Good things come to those who can ride it out!

The joy of age, pain. Easier said than done, but laughing at the pain helps dull it. Also, massage guns and deep tissue massages when possible.

Fight on, you got this! Girl power!

cue the dead silence that follows the attempt at keeping said conversation going

“My radiance shines brightly, I have the high ground! Do not hate me because I’m beautiful, do not hate me because I am handsome, for I shall twirl away your comments as the worthless air they are!”

The real question is why use Google for 99% of searches? There are very few searches where Google is “necessary,”(debatable still).

Short hair is cute–Cropped with volume or just short-short. That is a really silly thing for onlookers to bring up, but low-hanging fruit is what they prefer to go after, as dealing with reality is too difficult.

And AMABs are indeed unfortunately often forced, either physically or psychologically(abusing their psyche until they “want to,” do so as to try to pretend they gave their child choice) get their hair cut regardless of how they feel about it. My cis as cis could be cousin even, he just straight up preferred longer hair growing up and hated it cut, and it would harm him emotionally if a barber screwed it up(or if they were “influenced,” as I suspect happened in some cases) and made it too short. He was collateral of a society that wants to strike down even the possibility of someone living a life of their own beyond the “values they were raised on,”(gross).

“Hey I’m Grump, I’m not-so Grump, AND WE’RE THE GAME GRUMPS!”

Suicide always leaves those of us behind with many questions, more than one takes an ever greater toll on the mind of the one left behind, so I want to first say first and foremost, genuinely: Your emotions are valid, and I know firsthand how much it can make one become overwhelmed.

Yes, suicide hotlines are still a thing. For the LGBTQ+ Youth, there is The Trevor Project, for others 988 services general crisis-level calls. You would need to contact particular crisis centers themselves likely for more details, but I would suspect one would need a degree in Psychology or other therapeutic-esque degrees to work in them.

Other than that, the unfortunate and harsh truth is that if one truly intends to go through with it, you as one person are unlikely to know until it is too late. Some choose the mercy of an out on their own accord, and those serious oft not talk about it unprompted. We have to try to be the best we can for those we cherish, and if something happens in spite of that, we know that we gave them a light, however dim it might have been, before the time. It is not a full solace, but it contextualizes an otherwise very overwhelming feeling.

Fur fluff pet fluffy~

Yikes. At least you got through it, and I have heard a lot about miside, never played it. Does not seem like my bottle of water personally, but I understand the appeal it has for others.

Speaking of computer maintenance, funny story that: This computer I am running is a Linux Box that was running such an old Ubuntu LTS version that it no longer received updates and the repos it pointed to no longer existed. Had to completely reinstall Ubuntu on it to get it up to speed. Nice little box though for what I use it for(which is not much). Once cooked it trying to use sddm as the display manager, had to go into recovery and uninstall it. Linux is great for the same reason it can be problematic for the inexperienced. I had enough experience to fix it, not enough to not have broken it from the outset. Better than the time a bad Linux Distro straight up broke the wireless chip in another computer then managed to make it no longer post. That computer was ready to be retired long before I ever even got it, but it was such a shame. It was an old Alienware Steam Machine.

This is the type of image I would love to just have as a poster(many unamused persons would see it, and make me giggle with their consternation).

Much energy, very cute.

Also, soup~! Yay soup~

Directness is nice–Games are best played co-op, not PvP.

Definitely should! I would rate it a solid 8/10, I have some gripes with it but it accomplished what it set out to, and the dead silence of the small number of folks in the theater spoke to the absolute focus it brought on us all, captivated until the end.

And yeah, panic attacks are not fun. Thankfully I was able to calm myself down, it was just a very heavy-hitting film.

If only GOG was not so problematic with its restorations. A game designed for X era not running on an X era machine because GOG decided to fiddle around with it and break its compatibility on the system. My Windows 7 machine was not very happy with GOG. More power to them for keeping old games alive and DRM-free, but that was a nightmare dealing with.

I saw the Miku shirt and fully thought it was the meme of her going “GAY?!”. Ah the memories.

Also, oof, server stuff. I have dealt with so much of that over the years I would rather never touch one again. A database fine, miss me with trying to figure out why a permission set to active is not really set to active when there is no reason for it to not be set to active, or having to babysit the thing to actually boot itself up properly. I do not know exactly what you mean with server(on-platform, a physical one working on its backend, or whatnot), but still, mood mood and bleh. Tomorrow relaxation yay, enjoy it!
