I wing it. There might be some big ticket things I know I’m going to do, but even those, I know I’m going to do them, but I organise it on the fly when I’m there.

You were banned because you posted lolicon art.

I’d just leave that specific terminology out of it, and talk about your experiences.

Oof. I went through that in 2022. Hope recovery is smooth

You’re not giving it away. You still get a feed in rate. And if you installed a battery at the same time, you can avoid the peak charges that kick in after the solar peak has passed.

This is a screenshot from the AER PDF on the solar sharer program, which you can find here https://www.aer.gov.au/system/files/2026-05/AER - Solar Sharer Offer fact sheet - DMO 8 final determination.pdf

I’m in Queensland, so the Energex rates apply. The base tariff rate is 26c until 11am, then free for 3 hours. Then 8c for 2 hours and then 49c between 4 and 9pm. My memory was off, and it’s only double the rate, but my point still stands. The peak time is a lot more expensive on the solar sharer plan, so you need to do the maths and make sure your usage will be shifted towards the free period and away from the peak, because if your highest usage is in the peak period and you don’t mitigate that, you could end up paying more on the solar sharer plan. You can absolutely save money on the SSO, and we use it for that reason, but you can also end up out of pocket.

This is what I was going to say!

Calling anyone anything they have told you makes them uncomfortable is a statement of how much you value their discomfort.

Your housemate is telling you how much they value your discomfort.

Sorry for the egginess.

You don’t need to apologise for trying to find yourself in a world that makes that really hard!

The way I described dex is that it helped me stay on task, but did absolutely nothing to help me start a task

Gifted student, never studied, until it all fell apart in university. Aphantasia, no internal monologue. Multiple rounds with doctors, insisting on prescribing anti anxiety meds, despite not experiencing anxiety. Getting dropped by doctors, and having to repeat the whole process again… Prescribed a pure dex based medication, which helped, but also didn’t…

The only places our stories really diverge is that I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and I still haven’t had any luck getting a medication that works for me…

These things (though it’s an old picture)

This pretty much was my job up until recently, though we get better leave than that in Australia.

It’s right around the time steam went live to the world

Big enough to screw up the platters on my hard drive when they stomped by!

'cause we’re dying of old age? :P

It’s not an achievement, but this is pretty rare

I used tesseract as my daily driver for lemmy, and honestly, it was and is the best lemmy interface I’ve used, at least in terms of the tools it had to make admin and moderation tasks easier.

But we were also running an older version and hadn’t upgraded to the version with the blocks, or otherwise, we’d have been in the same boat as db0, because we were one of the instances blocked by the list

Nipple pain is part of the hormonal cycle. It happens quickly in cis women and trans women! My nipples hurt within 24 hours of doing an injection, and I’ve been on HRT for near 10 years.

I’m a walking talking transmed ideal. Knew from the time I was a kid. Binary. Crippling dysphoria. I wanted bottom surgery from the moment I knew it existed and I’ve had nearly every transition related surgery possible.

But I’ve got more in common with non binary folk, and trans folk who don’t want surgeries, and don’t struggle with dysphoria than I will ever have in common with a broader society that teaches us to hate ourselves. Gender diverse folk are my peers, and what we have in common is finding self love, self pride, and giving a middle finger to those who would try and take that away from us.

You would benefit from finding some of that pride in finding and accepting who you are despite surviving in a world that tries to deny you that. The answer isn’t to hate yourself more, and to push hatred on to your peers.

The thing you will see with 4chan spaces and transmed spaces is that all of them carry shame for being trans. Some of them hate themselves openly and others don’t openly hate themselves, but even in a perfect, accepting world, would still want to hide who they are. Both of those are just different degrees of the same thing though. And you weren’t born with that internalised shame. You learned it by growing up surrounded by transphobia. Fight back by finding some love for yourself and who you are, instead of agreeing with the people that taught you self hate in the first place
