experimental raloxifene + e fam arise!

edit: only been 2.5 months so I don’t have answers yet sorry y’all

God of War has been on my wishlist for a while. Thanks for the consideration!

This year my greatest new hope was coming out to my wife as nonbinary. Happy holidays!

I fully understand where you are coming from and respect your whole journey - kudos to you for taking it on! One thing I would like to add is that you leave out the possibilities and validity of nonbinary or genderless identities. Just because someone does not feel they are their gender at birth does not mean they must identify with the opposite. Likewise, transitioning is not an end-to-end binary journey, it is totally valid to take a lighter approach or move back and forth within the spectrum - with or without presentation changes or hormones. Gender is a social construct of self identity and understanding, not adhering to or accepting a specific classification is entirely legitimate.

Very interesting analogy that is certainly of the same mindset. It may feel “best” or “most appropriate” to avoid a disruptive or countercultural change, but it won’t ultimately be for the benefit of anyone. All that it would create is a slow burn of regret and animosity for oneself and those whom you were trying to put first. Life is hard, might as well make it worthwhile! Thanks for the validation and likewise to yourself, I wish you all the best.

No need to apologize but I appreciate the empathy! We definitely need more parents like you in the world. Though your parenting may be more challenging than some have it, just know the tremendous impact you are making by being accepting of them!

The crazy thing is that I am actually a parent myself. It is very challenging to work towards being who I want to be, my true self, compared to what I grew up thinking a parent should look like. It is especially hard to become myself outwardly, in this stage of life, without feeling like I am putting my needs above my family’s. For this reason I again appreciate your views on your kid - I very much wish I knew myself earlier on.

Nonetheless, through the help of therapy, my current focus is to be, love, and accept my authentic self such that my little ones can see an example of acceptance in whomever they want to be. The nonbinary parent role models are few and far between so I must try to be my own!

As someone in their late twenties who just recently came to understand and accept that I am nonbinary, I applaud you for your acceptance of your kid.

I never fit in growing up and never knew why. Now as an adult I still probably won’t mention it to my parents, despite making some significant life changes, due to their proven lack of empathy.

To Mordor?

Wow thank you so much for this - I had no idea! I am midway through a CPU change but as soon as I can get back in I will give this a try. Cheers!

That cat has a nicer keyboard than me.

As a noob to Linux and a very casual/ infrequent gamer, I have a question for you. I recently made the switch from Windows to Mint (dual boot so I have a fall back) and found that I can’t play half of my steam games on it. I was surprised by the quantity since I have read a ton of comments referencing the high % of supported games. Much of my library consists of the indie genre, could this be the reason why I have lower playability? Or could there be some add-on that I am missing?

The comments in the early years of YouTube were entirely filled with childish flame wars. I honestly think the only reason that this didn’t kill the site is because they started purging the negativity. Nowadays I’m sure it’s a lot easier for them with the developmental upgrades in bots.

You guys sleep?

Exactly this. I do the trim of the section I am working, then any areas that cannot be bulk mowed, then smaller and smaller square pattern on the bulk to avoid time consumed on excessive turning/momentum loss. Grass looks fine, not trying to impress anyone, and I get back to my family sooner.

Aaand now I’m reliving that awesome existential crisis/awakening
