| I finally found out that all those formulas etc. in algebra are merely coded sentences describing curves on a flat plane, and then in trigonometry the system is pulled out into three dimensions, and movement is tossed in with calculus and etc. in the higher forms. No one had ever bothered to explai... |

| I think my problem with programming or coding is that I sometimes struggle to see the bigger picture and HOW specific steps RELATE to the subsequent steps in the overall plan. Because of this, if I try to work with a coding language, I keep going back to questioning why I'm doing something or why so... |

Resolution is the biggest downside to this laptop, though it appears to be very thin and l... |

| As for myself, I was never all that masculine, puberty did not leave me with stuff like facial or body hair, the hair I did get was very very fine and slow to grow, I never got armpit hair or anything, pubic hair was about the only thing I got. In guy mode in high school, people accused me of shavi... |

I feel that coming up with ideas and plans for things and being able to do creative things at my (relative) leisure, is the only way I will be able to live a life and earn money without also falling v... |

| My first console was the NES and my first game was the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cart for the NES. My first hand-held game was Tetris for the Game Boy, but I remember playing SMB/Duck Hunt on the NES first. Pretty much the same as me. That Nintendo experience carried on to the SNES and N64, but I ... |

| My family had consoles before the PS1 (namely, a Mega-Drive/Genesis and my dad's commodore) but that generation is the one I have most nostalgia for. There was plenty of experimentation, different developers attempted different methods of adapting games to 3D. Mario 64 and Spyro pretty much set the... |

With my hair, I look male to androgynous. I'm tall, broad shoulders. And I'm gaining weight again despite do... |

| I am feeling the void again. I am watching old tornado videos from 2011, and I think back to the time before I went full-time and the uncertainty involved, so far from SRS. Then I think that even now I may be far from SRS. Something can always go wrong and I can be blocked from SRS for years and ye... |

Should I intentionally be 20 pounds underweight for the sake of fashion? I feel like I am already pretty much skin and bones as it is, if I were thinner I would be a corps... |

I think we have to take a step back from the world or deal with the emotional consequences of being constantly overwhelmed.

In my real life experience, I look at faces and make eye contact very infrequently, so if I have any capacity to learn how to do it, that is stifled by the fact that I inherently feel compelled to avoid doing it to begin with.... |
