My mom sometimes uses “doomaflagidad” for basically anything. The only way I’ve been able to translate is by using context clues. Usually based on what we’re talking about or if she’s pointing or using hand gestures.

Rrreeeeeeeee hugs :-)

I remember bits and pieces from my childhood. I think most of the memories are there, it just requires something to trigger the memory to load. Like a name or a place etc. (Sometimes watching nostalgia videos can help haha.)

Like I still remember my teachers names and how friendly or strict they used to be. And I also remember some friends and drama. And Video games are also a big core memory for me haha.

In general, I think we all have memory of our childhood. We just need help to trigger our brains to remember. And if we can’t find the trigger, we end up forgetting. Like installing a program on your PC but then deleting the shortcut to it.

I graduated with an associates degree in 2006. It was hard finding a job for some reason even with a degree and a internship under my belt. I think it took me 3-6 months to find a job.

By 2008, I was in that new job and mad at my step mom. So i moved out and got a roommate. From there it was very good at least for me. Only thing I dealt with was work and my health issues.

2008 was basically the start of my adult life. The naive and confident me.

I like using Jazzhop Cafe to calm the mind and fall asleep. Here’s my favorite vid/compilation: https://youtu.be/tgI6PjEq0O8

I also like space themed music. This one is from a channel called “Meditation Relax Music”. https://youtu.be/RPnbS2o-tqU

And I like “Lofi Rock” for when I’m writing code or studying. Its basically just instrumentals, no vocals. https://www.youtube.com/live/1EChsxRI4Zg

One of my friends would visit and we’d share a keyboard and play this. I almost always mained Tigi.

I can literally hear Track 1 music in my brain right now lol. Good times.

Futurama :-)

Super pretty! I’m happy for you sweetie. hugs

I started HRT at the age of 36. I sometimes look back and wish I started sooner. But it is what it is. I can’t change the past. All I can do is look forward to the future and focus on improving myself over time.

I’m a firm believer in that you can start HRT at any age. It’s never too late to be the person you want to be. It’s never too late to pursue happiness.

I distract myself with video games usually. Takes the mind off of the day to day things.

But if I don’t have the energy, sometimes curling up on the couch with a blanket and a drink and watching Youtube or movies or something is nice.

I had a severely long cross-dressing and denial phase since like 2000s ish. It is all a blur. Somewhere around 2008 I lived by myself and had the freedom to explore and experiment in private. And then somewhere around 2021 I realized that I’m trans, possibly before then but denial is a hell of a drug. And then on Nov 2022 I finally started hormones. And now I’m 2 years into hormones and happy!

I started hormones at the age of 36 and now I’m 38.

5, but with a body pillow and sometimes I roll over and switch sides.

Off the top of my head, the McDonalds Big Mac rap

My current partner and I are both introverts. The only reason we met is because we both dared to go outside to our LGS (Local Game Store). There, we met over a game of Magic the Gathering and some DnD and misc board/card games that I brought with me. And we started chit chatting over discord.

I eventually invited them over to my birthday at Dave and Busters where we bonded and there was a spark. I asked them out first, to which they said “yes” but they had a condition. We had to go on 3 dates before it was official. During that time I learned a lot about her life and I told her alot about mine. We were extremely similar in a lot of ways but also different in some ways. But the dates went really really well. And we’ve been steady for 2 years now.

In addition, I’ve somehow very quickly gained favor with their family simply by doing occasional board game nights with non-mainstream board/card games and just hanging out with the family and stuff. And also providing tech support on occasion haha.

Needless to say it has been going really really well. Way better than any of my past relationships. It only took me 39 years to get to this point in my life. As some of the comments have said, finding your love can sometimes take a long time.

Just try to be patient with finding love. And try to do things you like to do that are outside. That way you can meet people naturally with similar interests. There’s tons of events and things out there that you can go to just to meet people that like the same things that you do.

Sorry for the late response.

Trans girl in the US here. Both of my parents are pastors. And due to their religion and upbringing… It has had that friction.

Somehow they have come to accept that I’m trans and that this is happening. But they refuse to acknowledge my gender or my pronouns. Nor do they want to call me by my preferred name.

However I do have other family members that are perfectly fine with it and support me. My grandma is the best and she’s super super nice.

And my girlfriend’s side of the family also supports me. I find myself visiting her family for holidays more often than mine now.

My recommendation for you is to try to find family and/or friends that accept you and bring you positive vibes. It helps a lot. Trust me. hugs

I’m also using Connect on a Samsung S24+. And the website looks good to me. ;-)

I like the “Anbernic RG35XX SP” because it feels like an upgraded GBA SP. It has a foldable screen so the screen doesn’t get scratched while carrying it in my purse. And it has 2 micro SD card slots. One for the OS and one for games. Meaning you can customize it any way you want to.

I installed muOS on mine which even supports some “ports” of PC games. I love playing Stardew Valley on it for example. Though it does take some tech knowledge and research to figure out how to setup.

The buttons are nice and clicky. And granted, the 35XX SP doesn’t have analog sticks… But IMO, analog sticks always end up in weird spots on smaller clamshell handhelds. And I have other devices where I can play those kinds of games. So it works for me.

Its also nice and light. Larger handhelds like the steam deck are too heavy in my opinion. Heck I even have trobule with the switch sometimes and the 3DS XL haha. Maybe it’s just cause I’m getting old but those kinds of handhelds hurt my hands and wrists when I play them for more than an hour or so. But I can play on my RG35XX SP all day without any issues.

It does come with default software and a bunch of games. Which could be nice if you’re less tech savvy. But I personally like to remove all that stuff because I want MY games loaded on to the device and not a bunch of extra stuff I might not play.

Anbernic makes a lot of good devices so I guess it’s more of your personal preference. Maybe checkout some comparison videos on YouTube and see what you like ;-)

Ahh, apologies. Thank you! I’m learning new things! :-)

Yeah, I think I was referring to Doppler redshifts. Which is a very specific type of redshifts mentioned in that wiki article.

Again, thanks! :-)

So… I am not a scientist, just an enthusiast. But my understanding is that the speed of universe expansion doesn’t correlate with the speed of light. The speed of light is still constant.

Instead, the universe expansion rate is measured via something called the “doppler effect”. Scientists are able to use telescopes and take a snapshot of the night sky. Stars that tend to be brighter and more blue are closer to us. And stars that tend to be darker and more red are farther away from us. By taking snapshots and comparing it with previous snapshots over a long period of time, we are able to see a difference in color in each star which then shows us which stars are moving closer and which stars are moving further away.

Thus by measuring the speed at which the doppler effect changes, they can determine an estimate and compare whether the universe is expanding or shrinking and the speed at which it expands or shrinks over time without breaking the cosmic speed limit that is the speed of light.

Another analogy for the doppler effect is that it’s similar to what happens when a train passes by us. But in the case of a train, the doppler effect is with sound. As the train gets closer, the sound gets louder and seems more higher pitched. Then when the train passes us and gets further away, the sound fades away and gets lower pitched. All the while though, the speed of the train is still constant.

Hope that makes sense. And anybody that knows more than me feel free to correct me. ;-)
