Hi everyone, please don't give me flack because I'm already stressed enough as it is 😭 I bought an Epson Eco tank l3270 that has been wrongfully advertised by the seller as "true borderless" which is untrue. It doesn't support it at A4 (or most of the formats anyway)... It's my fault for not checking forums and making sure, but also.... I hope yall know what I mean 😭

I want to get a printer for printing my own artwork as prints. It doesn't have to be the best, highest quality ever; my friend who has been printing my stickers and prints has a brother dcp t-426w which supposedly isn't even considered to be good for things like that, but the quality and colours have been good so far. I need a similarly priced one (600-700PLN, 138–161 EUR, 161–188 USD) that has similar quality and also the economic tank. I was thinking about Canon PIXMA G3470, but it supposedly is lower resolution. My requirements:

\- stays in the price range

\- TRUE borderless for A4 and letter size, I don't really care about the rest

\- economic tank (no cartridges)

\- good colours

\- pretty high quality for what can I get

\- can handle papers that weigh more than 200g/m

\- connects by wifi

A plus is a scanner but if the price difference is huge, I don't really care about it.

Thank you in advance, I feel so frustrated and lied to because of the epson printer ☹️😭

Hej, ogólnie jestem w dziwnej sytuacji bo jestem na t od miesiąca (mam już osiemnastkę) i teraz próbuje zmienić legalną płeć. Jednak do hrt potrzebowałem tylko opinii psychologa-seksuologa i zaświadczenia o braku przeciwwskazań od psychiatry. Opinia psycholożki jest praktycznie idealna w kontekście wymagań, ale zaświadczenie od tego psychiatry to dosłownie "diagnoza: zaburzenia lękowe i depresyjne, brak przeciwwskazań do tranzycji" XD... Czy to też wystarczy do legalnej tranzycji? Mój stary psychiatra który się mną zajmował rok i wydał zaświadczenie powiedział, że nie przeprowadza takich opiniowań, co mnie w sumie nie dziwi. Ale też nie mam zbytnio siły ani kasy żeby przechodzić spotkania z kolejnym psychiatrą, zwłaszcza, że znalezienie takiego który to zrobi albo jest mega trudne albo łączy się z trans taxem. Jakieś porady?

I need some serious advice towards my portfolio. I don't want to be an animator per se, but the school I applied to was TAW, computer graphics, besides aalto and some other local art schools. Except, I didn't have any luck getting into any of those, so I'm practically forced to take a gap year from art. I want to take this time to actually polish my portfolio, not just for work, but also for universities. I definitely need it to be a mentorship online, because just basic "watch this 20 minute tutorial and get no individual feedback" courses are a waste of my time. I know how to draw, I was in an art highschool and I take regular commissions, I just don't know what I need for an academic portfolio SPECIFICALLY.

I just need someone who's more experienced in this industry to guide me through remaking my whole portfolio. Any suggestions? Besides that, I'd love suggestions for public EU unis that also know how to train a person for the career they choose. Thank you all in advance 😭❤️‍🩹

For starters, I'm FTM, 18 for a few months now and I've been working my ass off to finally get HRT after being out for 5 years. I finally have the prescription, I'm probably going to get the shot today (not sure because our healthcare system is so fcked up I don't even know what I'm doing).

My parents have never been really supportive. My dad genuinely doesn't care, while my mom tries to act like she's supportive but I feel like she masks her transphobia as curiosity or worry. My older sister is an asshole all around, like don't get me wrong I appreciate her, but her stance on trans people as a cishet woman is "it's a trend. Some people are actually trans, but you're not."

I've had my final argument with them yesterday, where my sister spoke for my mom, saying that my parents have always been too soft on me (I'm a middle child, I think you can gauge how my upbringing was just from this) and that I've never shown symptoms of transness early in my childhood. Both her and my mom think that I'll regret it, that it's not right, that I'm just depressed, that my partner (also trans btw) won't find me attractive after the medical transition, that I'm taking the easy way out.

I don't even know where to start unpacking that. Sure, I can admit that I didn't show very obvious signs, I didn't reject femininity in the way stereotypical trans men do while growing up, but I'm also queer. It's not that I hate femininity purely because I'm a man. She also said that I'm taking the easy way out because women have it harder. That I didn't experience a woman's upbringing or puberty, so how can I know that it doesn't feel right to me. But she also couldn't explain *what* a woman's upbringing and puberty besides the biological is. The whole reason I was shunned early in school was because I preferred hanging out with boys. She thinks that I can't know how a woman feels because I didn't experience it, therefore I can't know that I'm trans. How does one even go about debunking that? She also went on that I'm misogynistic because I said that I went through female puberty (biological one) and that I was hyperfeminine at one point before fully accepting that I'm a trans man and that for me, knowing that it didn't feel right and that was enough to determine that I wasn't a woman.

Point is, I'm just really confused. I don't know wether they're right or not, my brain is basically a mush. I know I'm trans because I've known my entire life, even before I knew what being trans was. I felt more comfortable with boys, I wondered when I'd turn into a biological boy. Sure, I'm not into sports or cars or the military, but also not every boy is. Why can't my experience be different? I just need some reassurance that I'm not insane with this.

I'm (FTM) a legal adult and I've been out to my parents for 5 years now. They, especially my mom, always acted supportive, but it was obvious they are pretty much either denying it, hoping for me to detransition or just straight up transphobic. Now, ever since I came out, I wanted to start hrt. Everything about myself makes me dysphoric, even though it's not like I hate myself or my body. My mom took me to sexologists, therapists and other professionals, but I feel like her final goal was only to make me detransition, not to support my transition. And here we are.

Since I turned 18 I did everything my parents stopped me from doing. I went to a psychologist who diagnosed me, did all of the needed tests, went to an endo who prescribed me hrt. I've had awful luck with actually getting the shot (because for some reason the medical healthcare is so bad I couldnt even get a basic appt for a week), and tomorrow I'm supposed to finally get the first shot. After waiting 5 years, after funding all of it myself. And yet, my mom is still trying to scare me out of it. Like I don't know the side effects. The worst part is that I just don't know how to reply to her bullshit. I don't know how to respond when she sends me pictures of fresh top surgeries as a way to scare me (no shit, a fresh scar looks like a scar) or tries to scare me with possible side effects of taking T (trans man threatened by becoming a man).

Any thoughts? I genuinely need help with this, especially that the shot is happening tomorrow. Her threats genuinely make me reconsider, even though I know that it's just the pressure, not how I actually feel.
