Voting red or not voting is still the reason Trump got into office. He supports the genocide, but ok, HaRriS BaD. Note I don't like Democrats either, but I don't agree with throwing votes away because of one issue that was worse on the other side. The people who didn't vote or voted the other way supported genocide by letting Trump win.

They'd gotten especially cash grabby since I had started playing and then they disabled Linux and Steam Deck compatibility using them as the scapegoats for their inability to fix their shitty anti-cheat. News flash, there's still a bunch of cheaters because the cheats are made for Windows players.

What's a cancelled game you really miss? in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] Zeke@fedia.io 19 points 5 months ago

The original Overwatch. I also know Apex Legends hasn't been cancelled, but they also took away Linux compatibility so it is essentially cancelled for Linux. That's one I miss.

Pay to apply for your gig work in c/latestagecapitalism@lemmy.world

That's most voice over sites. I only know of CastingCallClub that does free use, but the quality and pay of work there is all over the place because it's a free site.

I'm 33. I just got out of a marriage. I felt like I had absolutely no control of anything and I wound up being a shadow to my now ex-husband. I forgot who I was and was just going through the motions. It's been a real hard fight moving out of his shadow, but he is still my friend. I just don't feel the same about him as I did when we got together. That feeling of being trapped is just not worth it. I don't intend to marry again.

Can't Afford Top Surgery (fedia.io)

I have been working towards losing enough weight to get my top surgery from a specific surgeon with many years of experience with it. I have successfully lost the weight, but now I'm at a point where I can't afford to get it. It costs about $8700 for it and that's without complications or revisions. Top surgery for me doesn't just mean gender affirmation. It means having an easier time breathing and reduced back pain. I desperately want this. So much so that it feels like a need. I just don't know what to do to get that much money with everything I already have to work for.

New To Being Trans W/ A Few Questions (fedia.io)

Hi, I'm Zeke. I'm 32 and last year I finally came to the conclusion that I am transmasc after years of being unhappy with who I was and how I looked. I've done so much research into it, but I'm still left with questions. First off, I should say that I have opted not to do HRT. HRT has too many health risks that I can't take due to heart related issues that run in my family. It's not worth that risk to me. So I'm trying a different route.

I've decided to go the route of surgery w/ changes to how I dress and how I get my hair cut. I've lost about 18.6lbs out of 25lbs to get my top surgery and so far it has been really good for me health wise and affirming wise. I'm so close to the first step and I can't wait for the positive effects especially since my bust size causes physical discomfort and shortness of breath so it's a two in one benefit. My questions for this one is "Does silicone gel work better than lotion for scars?" and "Are you comfortable being topless for swimming/beach visits?"

Now here's where I most uncomfortable because I've heard of people being negative about it, but I plan to get vocal surgery to deepen my voice. Here's where my questions come in. Has anyone else gotten this surgery? If so, what's it like and what were your experiences with recovery? How different has it made your voice?

I just wonder if others have chosen the surgical route. I don't have anyone or anywhere else to ask these questions so I figured I'd drop them here. Thank you for any answers!
