I finally bit the bullet and got a gym membership to my local planet fitness a couple days ago after doing research on the few gyms that are available in my area, but now that ive done that I'm like, incredibly anxious about actually going i guess?

I havent been in a gym type setting since being in the weight room at my high school in freshman year (12 years ago) so aside from some home workouts here and there i dont really know much about the machines, gym etiquette, any of that stuff aside from what ive seen online

I also live in a city thats definitely on the small side and pretty conservative (not as much as it was in the past, but i digress) and there isn't a very big trans/genderqueer population here. I know theres a handful of us, but we're pretty spread out and theres not really any kind of community/support groups etc for it here 😪

I've been on testosterone for like 6 years and had top surgery last year, I pass well and dont really get misgendered except on very, very rare occasions now, but I guess im just worried about being clocked somehow and getting harassed or something, idk.

I would love to have a gym buddy to go with, especially if theyre transmasc/genderqueer themselves as that would make it less daunting for sure but all of my friends are cis and their schedules are either too busy already to add going to the gym regularly, or our schedules just wont ever line up properly in general

I know a majority of this is probably just me overthinking and probably sounds stupid lmao, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all, im looking for suggestions for plant based protien powders that taste good and dont have the texture of sandy, dusty armpits. Im fine with them being unflavored even as i would like to add them to smoothies as well and I dont always want a chocolate/vanilla flavor in my smoothie, but its not a deal breaker if they are flavored lmao. Ive tried the orgain vanilla powder but its ass imo.

Also it has to be plant based as im lactose intolerant and the whey powders mess up my stomach 😅

Hey yall, im looking for suggestions on where to buy necklaces/rings for guys/or are unisex that are alt leaning and wont break the bank. I know about making your own chains with actual chains from hardware stores but im looking for stuff thats a little more flashy like the barbed wire chains and stuff, like ones that have a little more going on lol (although if anyone has any suggestions on how to make chains like that on a budget im all ears!)

As for rings, im looking for basically the same thing (flashier than just basic/plain bands although those are nice too) but that also wont cost me a liver and kidney yknow?

Title. Ive spending the last few days watching classic races and highlights of current races, along with learning the history a bit. What else should I know? Im talking behind the scenes stuff and like local indy politics/rivalries too

So far my favorite driver is Malukas I think, funny guy and good driver for sure imo

Im also still a but confused on how the teams work, like i understand the points system but not the team system as much.

Any genre, just has to be bass-heavy. Drop some suggestions!

Basically the title. Im trying to run majoras mask on m64 plus fz and cant bind any button to open the menu in game, ive tried searching Google, YouTube, and reddit to no avail. Ive tried to map it to literally every button but when going into the game it just doesnt do anything when I press whatever button i tried mapping it to. Im emulating on a Samsung galaxy s23 if that makes a difference.

Hey yall, im a 26 y/o trans guy and ive been dealing with acne since i was like 13. I dont think ive ever had a period of time where I didnt have acne since hitting puberty, amd being on testosterone doesnt help either lol.

Im currently trying to find a routine that works for me, but ive been struggling hard-core.

I have acne on my face, arms, and back. No matter what I do it doesnt go away. My current routine is washing my face the with dial antibacterial gold bar soap, then using a cetaphil moisturizing face lotion with salicylic acid in it, and then applying a retinol oil at night, and then spf 50 cetaphil moisturizer in the morning (retinol and sunscreen moisturizer are new additions to the routine) but it always leaves my face feeling oily afterwards even hours later. I dont even have a routine for my arm and back acne bc I dont know where to start with that, lmao. Ive tried the salicylic acid body wash from curology before but had a reaction to it unfortunately://

Title. Ive adjusted the truss rod because that was originally part of the problem when i first started setting it up earlier, but now I have to have the saddles unreasonably high in order to not get an insane amount of buzzing on the high frets on strings e, a, and d. (They're still buzzing even with the high saddles but not as bad as they were) For some reason the g string seems to be fine though. Is there anything I can do to fix this or would it be better to take it to a professional at this point?

Hey guys, looking for some gaming buddies that would be down to play cod with me on playstation, specifically bo3 zombies!

Yooo 26 y/o trans guy looking for people to play zombies with. Im on ps5 and I wouldn't say I'm bad at the game but I'm definitely not as good as some people lmaoooo my high rounds are generally in the early-mid 20s (generally 22-26 give or take) but mostly just looking to have fun! Also idk what the flairs mean on here so I apologize if I'm using the wrong one 😅

Basically the title. I've been playing Pokémon black again and the first couple days it was fine but now every ten or so minutes the movement contols stop working and I ha e to re-bind them. At first I thought it was my controller firmware needing to be updated as i usually use an 8bitdo pro 2 and currently don't have a laptop or anything to update it, so I switched to a dualsense but its happening with that controller as well so I'm kind of at a loss now on how to fix this 😅 I did try looking it up but only found stuff about the entire controller disconnecting (i.e. Bluetooth connection issue). Playing on an s23 if that helps any

Hey guys. Im having an issue with my controller speaker (kind of?)

A good while ago I turned the volume of the speaker off because the game i was playing had really sharp noises through said speaker that I didn't like. Now, I want to turn the speaker on again, and I turn the volume all the way up but it still won't play sound? I don't think its a controller issue specifically either though, because I got a second controller which I now use as the main one and that one won't play sound either, but if I'm playing 2 player local games with my roommate the controllers will make sound if theyre not the primary controller if that makes sense. And it goes that way no matter which controller my roommate is using, as we tested that theory already. I just cant figure out what settings to change to make it go back to normal I guess? I feel like it should be as easy as just turning the volume back up but it doesnt work.

(Please tell me if this isn't allowed and I will delete, I read the rules but unsure if this fits the parameters)

Im planning on buying a miniature schnauzer in the near-ish future, and just kind of window shopping for breeders in my general area and came across this site. No location listed as far as I can tell, and puppies are listed at $600 which seems too good to be true nowadays. Not too much info about the breeders on the site either, cant find a Facebook page or anything.

Link below:

This has to be a scam, right?

ETA: I was not considering buying a puppy from this site in case anyone was concerned, I am still looking around for breeders, and came across this one and was skeptical and wanted confirmation. I grew up with miniature schnauzers and have wanted another one for awhile but wasn't serious about getting one until now. I have gotten some great recommendations on what to look for from people in the comments though and I appreciate it greatly!

Hi all! I recently moved into a new apartment with a very small balcony. I want to grow a few plants/veggies out there but unfortunately its a shaded balcony so it only gets a bit of sun for a couple hours in the morning, so I would need some kind of grow light situation out there. Im hoping to find something I can attach to the roof of it that'll be able to shine light on multiple plants, like tomatoes and cucumbers and such. Tyia!
