Me: That's cool, I want an underwater housing and that charger with 2 additional batteries. *enters the code*
GoPro: "We apologise for the inconvenience, but we are currently not able to ship standalone batteries to your chosen country"

Bro what the fuck? I am not trying to purchase a "standalone" battery. And I am not trying to order a lithium-ion battery bomb on a plane. The site lets me order batteries and shit in France and Germany for example if I agree to use "standard road transport", but for my home country, it doesn't let me choose standard delivery AT ALL! So what, they give ma a free battery but haha joke's on me because I can't order it?

Fuck you.

they are not considered safe for air transport, not sure why they won't ship over land to you though

I don't think Bulgaria is part of the Schengen zone. That means there will be some form of bureaucracy at the border, and some companies might just not bother with over-land transport as a result.

Honestly the best recommendation for most people is to draw as a hobby. It is very difficult to establish a lucrative career as an illustrator, so be prepared for that if that's what you really want.

part of me kind of wishes i was a girl sometimes. like, not enough to want to transition, but enough to be pretty sad about it. being a failed man kind of sucks. over the years i feel like my self-esteem as a guy has deteriorated to the point where i feel like i was never meant to be a dude. that i'm not equipped for the challenges and hardships that comes with being a dude (with dated, normalized gender roles in mind).

obviously not to downplay any of the challenges or hardships women face as well, i just feel like a lot of the time i was meant to take on those ones instead. i despise feeling lesser for being a gentle, humble, emotional soul, and not the traditional image of what a man should be, and what most of the opposite sex is attracted to. i wish i was valued for my softness, instead of mocked and shunned by traditional society. i despise having to force masculinity and arrogance to be treated with the same respect as other men, and still fail a lot of the time.

i've been working out a lot this past year and had noticed i was kind of anxious at the idea of becoming a bigger guy muscle-mass wise. because even though part of me did want to get bigger for the sake of being accepted and increasing my social appeal, i felt this deep melancholy for losing my softer, feminine identity. my true self, so to speak. so i just stopped altogether because i was so tangled between what i really wanted for myself.

i've had these sort of feelings for years, but never enough to straight up admit "i wish i was a girl" before. what an odd feeling.

I know what you mean in many respects. As a gay man I feel like I'd fit into society more if I were a straight woman instead.

My problem is just how much technical expertise the modern world demands for basic tasks. Mostly how everything requires computers and paperwork.

Me neither, I'm just asking why office buildings are a thing. In fact, most jobs you could just do at home!

I kinda don't want the world to go that way. I fear a future where we all work from home, never see anybody and it's like the pandemic went on forever.

Today I don't feel like it. My phone is being shut off in a few days, I'm not paying it. When I go to therapy on Wednesday I'm going to tell them I want the 30 day inpatient therapy stay and I want zero contact with anyone. I'm going to delete my social media as well maybe I'll even spend my birthday alone there

I honestly don't feel like much anymore, male or female, I feel like a hollowed out shell of a person I used to be, I totally gave up on getting people to like me or want to date me, or be appealing for girls, it never panned out. I've always been sensitive and "girly" as my friends would say, and I was always mocked for it growing up. I had a horse and rode which immediately made me gay, and people ( a LOT) were surprised that I wasn't, because apparently a guy who rides is gay.. who knew ( yes I know a lot are)

All that gender stereotyping is EXACTLY why I'm non-binary (even though I still lean more towards female). Fuck what I'm SUPPOSED to do: I'll do whatever the fuck I want regardless on gender. Only time gender/sex ACTUALLY matters is when breeding and even then, we've already figured out how to bypass that for the most part.
