based on a brief skim through tanis' comment history from the past day and my memory of who i've seen on here in the past weeks, the drama in question appears to be related to a post from about two weeks ago which some people requested be marked nsfw/spoiler due to concerns about flashing lights and people with epilepsy, and the OOP taking it as a personal criticism of their art.

that's still almost doubled from what it was a while back - i bought a bunch of 16GiB DDR3 ECC sticks about 3 years ago for $20 each

i hate this idea so much but i also kinda want to make it real just to see what it looks like

[-] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

thanks :3

i used a flexible tape measure and a pen to draw evenly spaced marker dots on my skin along the base of the nail, which i used as a guide for where to place the tape (i initially tried to eyeball it, but maintaining a consistent spacing while also keeping the tape lines parallel proved too difficult after the first line). a little bit of pen overshot onto the cuticle and then got permanently sealed under a very generous layer of top coat, you can kinda see it in the photo if you zoom in.

ooh i didn't know those were a thing! definitely gonna give those a shot :3

Many lessons were learned today:

  • Scotch tape can only be separated from partly-dry nail polish with great difficulty
  • Masking tape will not stick reliably to partly-dry nail polish
  • Waiting 2-3 hours between each coat is both annoying and extremely inconvenient, and also not long enough
  • Ballpoint pen ink is very hard to remove from a cuticle while keeping the polish intact

That said, I'm pretty happy with the results even though I don't think I'd do this regularly :3

See, the problem with fat redistribution on HRT is that it doesn't happen if your body doesn't have any fat on it to redistribute :P

I'm practically a walking skeleton (182cm/53kg), and everyone in my direct family is built similarly (e.g. my brother is 184cm/48kg) so it's pretty clearly genetic. I've looked at this with quite few specialists (dieticians, endocrinologists, ...) and the general consensus seems to be that in order to outpace my absurdly fast metabolism, I need to be eating at least something like 5'000kcal/day (assuming no exercise!) just to break even, and more than that in order to actually start gaining fat. So far I haven't managed to figure out a way to actually shovel that many calories down my throat every day without giving myself constant stomachaches and indigestion, so I'm basically stuck like this until I either manage to find some calorie-dense smoothie recipe which doesn't leave me feeling like shit all day, or spend my life hooked up to an IV dumping a constant stream of nutrients directly into my bloodstream.

Maybe someday I'll just throw up my hands in despair and get hip/thigh implants ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

girl those hips are fucking GOALS

(unobtainable goals due to family genetics, but i can dream!)

[-] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

gotcha, your comment makes significantly more sense now with that context :3

i'm so confused by the second part. do you think city girls originated in prague? are you like a door-to-door salesperson, but for the city of prague?

Maybe it's only cause i'm not that far into my transition yet, but i kind of flip-flop back and forth on this depending on the context. Like, I generally think of pre-transition me as "myself but less developed", but sometimes I do find myself going "Why did [deadname] do this? Wtf was he thinking?" if I'm regretting a poor past decision or whatever.

which one did you get, and how long did it take before stuff was mostly gone? a friend of mine just ordered a bunch of PCBs for DIY electrolysis machines and i'm gonna be getting one, but i'm considering doing a few rounds of laser/IPL beforehand to quickly get rid of the easy hairs

While trying to update my display name, I've realized that any display name longer than 20 characters gets rejected (specifically: https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/save_user_settings returns 400 with {"error":"invalid_display_name"}). Some digging through the code seems to explain why: Lemmy 0.19.20 (the version running on lemmy.ml) uses the same config option for limiting display name length as it does for usernames, which defaults to 20 (and .ml hasn't changed it from the default value)¹.

I would be satisfied with that explanation, except there are clearly other users on my instance whose display names exceed 20 characters (example: https://lemmy.ml/u/Trying2KnowMyself). So, my question is: how the heck are people able to set these longer display names?

¹ In the 1.0 betas the config option seems to have been replaced with hardcoded limits which are separate for user- and display names, but I don't think that'd be relevant since that's not the code which .ml is actually running

EDIT: I figured it out! Importing user settings from a json backup bypasses display name validation. Most likely the user I referenced as an example had imported their profile from their Hexbear alt, so it ended up just copying their display name over as well.
