i love 5mph-rated bumpers on both my cars and my body!

i initially interpreted as you leave brain at home. personally that is what i abandon most frequently anyways :3

awesome!! never thought windows 9x styling to be super appealing, but what matters is you use system how you want. as far as font goes i don’t see all the hate. it does look a bit out of place, but its fun, and from my past experiences easier to read for some people. then again i use the choco cookie font on my cell phone so :)

where do markdown documents fit into this? i’d put them personally between .doc and .png

i’d say sorta like mrow, although the “r” isn’t really an r (as in murky, and what some but not other people call in english schwa). if you speak german its kinda like the shift from u to ö, except the initial sound is a. if you don’t, try and make an a sound (as in tap), then add a little r (as in occur) to it, and that’s pretty much what sound i make after the m. from there, closer to the end, i emphatically bring it to more of that a sound, and quickly finish with the w. i also don’t round my lips at the end with the w.

i would try and post a voice clip but i’m not really sure how to do that here sadly.

i’ve seen people use similar things to protect electrical antennas before, so arm warmers on moth antennae aren’t the most outlandish thing ever!!

this paper also seems intriguing, although if they start putting microchips with antennas in our clothes i swear i will make a cocoon and just morph myself into a moth (with cute hosiery of course!! if i become a moth i’m gonna do it right >:3)

I LOVE MOTHSSS oh my god thank you for this

this video rules

i’m definitely not the first to share, but its always fun to watch

hell yeah!! i hope your friends treat you with the love and kindness you deserve :D

all the family (mother and sister) in my household are other girls/women (eccentric, lesbian women no less), and given our similar proportions we share/borrow much clothes with eachother. we used to live somewhere super north so we have a lot of baggier and skin-covering clothes, especially hoodies, as well as a lot of stockings and arm warmers (that “similar fabric to cover the hands/arms”) for obvious reasons. i did of course experiment a lot with these!

personally i also began dressing by just seeing what other people around me wore, then tried to suit that to my own preferences. it definitely does take a little experience though, but of course there’s only one way to get that, so don’t be afraid to experiment :) (even if it’s just in the confines of your or your friend’s home).

currently the trend in my city is sweats and hoodies, but when i started out jeans were especially fashionable, so i tried those out, per the suggestion of a friend (note: friends are great for this!).

uh as for tops, again i have borrowed many a coat/dress/sweater from my family. still though, i found there were absolutely styles that are better than others for me. early on i discovered the fun that colorful clothing can be, and i haven’t really stopped since! graphic tees are awesome too. starting out, sweaters were mostly my favorite, but there were a few that really emphasized my wide shoulders, which i personally hated.

aside from that, it took me a while to feel confident going out with makeup. my mother is a jeweler though, so i have a lot of bracelets and other fun stuff like that!

clothing is so so fun, so do experiment as much as you can! this is just scratching the surface of what i wear

On the one hand, I feel it is my civic duty to get thigh-highs and that similar fabric to cover the the hands/arms, with a mini skirt and short top, taking a picture of my libreboot thinkpad with neofetch running. 😅

OH MY GOD i feel called THE HELL out… x3

if you do this though i think !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone would love it

something along the lines of “then an alien arives: NECO-ARC” i think (neco-arc is the name of the funny cat)

duly noted

thank you, i’ll give both of those a try!

someone actually gave me that exact hand cream a little while ago, but i never knew what it really helped with, so i appreciate you bringing it to my attention. fingers crossed it holds up well to the chemicals i work with! :)

those look like a nice solution, and there are definitely many activities where i think this is a super good idea and will definitely try this out (i already sometimes use gloves for weightlifting!).

however, i also work with a lot of hot burny stuff, and as such i need to be able to feel the heat with my hand without directly touching stuff (often holding the back of my palm close). how easy is it that with these gloves?

hell yeah!! its awesome that you are able to have such a good community around you with regards to this stuff. being able to be yourself without having to worry about repercussions is one of the best things in earlier (and later) transition!

may the shenanigans be bountiful in fulfillment :)

aww thank you!! i bike a whole lot and so my wardrobe choices right now are quite restricted, so i like super appreciate it

but yeah though plushies are like the awesomest thing ever, even with friends too! like from going out shopping for them to using them as bribes i find there is SO much opportunity for various shenanigans. personally my bed is like ACTUALLY full of them, not to mention the various other furnishings in my home. i am glad there are alike minds here hehe :3

oh it came with the bicycle! i got the bike for fifty USD at a local place that specializes in cheap, old and weird bike stuff

if you wanna source one for yourself, from my experience you could probably find one in the bicycle parts section of your local discount home improvement shops (there are a few where i live at least). i see them mostly on cruiser/“womens” bicycles. there are definitely better options but this is quite cheap, and in a pinch you can cut and attach some bits of plywood/osb from that one construction site to expand your cargo area further!

due to the shape of the baskets (narrower at the bottom than the top), as noted by @anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone more “square” stuff generally doesn’t fit so well. of course for boxes you can just put those on top with a ratchet strap.

i bike because my only other options are walking, which is too slow, and the bus, which while quite reliable and perfectly adequate for my purposes can still be beaten by bicycle. nonetheless i still quite enjoy it, so as a fellow bicyclist i sincerely hope your weather situation improves!

okay now i cant unsee how TIE fighters look like modified and weaponized cable spools, initially only used for construction purposes. my head canon is that they were tough, and plentiful in used quantity for relatively cheap, and became pretty much the intergalactic version of those technicals that the taliban use.

jokes aside though, i’m not too familiar with these vehicles. like would like a motor rebuild be decently feasible or is this like the starfighter version of a used mercedes?
