>I think you heavily over estimate the amount of adults I have interacted with.
I meant more so passive interaction, if that makes sense? Like seeing and maybe a quick word if need be? That might just be a USA-esque interaction though.

>You can try to pretend to be the girl but you can't do the thing that may stop you from wanting to be the girl.
If psychedelics were to work wouldn't that just be temporary relief? I wouldn't always be able to be on them since one can't do normal mentally demanding work while high.

>>I agree with that first part fully but think that although transitioning can be hard, it can be worth it if one truly hates how they are.
>Or maybe you always see yourself as a lie and never really stop hating yourself.
That is what suicide is for! :3 I do fear that but if I keep hating myself after the normal time that HRT takes to do most of its effect, viz., roughly two years, I will undoubtably kill myself. Of course, I intend on starting to have good hygiene too so that should help me feel better too.

>Mostly it'd just be sad.
Why? Is it not sad for trans fems too?

>Why? Is it not sad for trans fems too?
No, because I never saw the men who transition as an object of desire that's now lost.
>wouldn't that just be temporary relief
I hear they cause a permanent chance in how you see things but that might be bullshit.
>I do fear that
I'd tell you to use AI as a form of therapy but that probably works only if you already have good priors and just need a nudge to put them in practice.
Maybe when you are going to do it you find out you just don't have it in you to go through it. Or maybe you do, who knows. You won't actually know until you try.
But see the absurdity of the situation.
You are afraid of your parents being mad at you for something and also are not afraid of ending your life. As if your parents being mad was worse than them finding out their son is going to turn into maggot feed.
Exhaust your options first, dude.
Before killing yourself try the wildest things you can think of. Try going full schizo. Going into a forest at 3 am. Seeing the sunrise in the middle of nowhere in the Nevada desert. Taking a month just to strike conversations with strangers. Getting on dating apps. Doing long distance running, rock climbing, D&D, paintball, rafting, playing videogames all day. Visiting prostitutes. Paying a domme to let you worship her and then peg you. Taking drugs (including roids while lifting). Going to jail. Live a little before killing yourself.

>>107739345
>I hear they cause a permanent chance in how you see things but that might be bullshit.
That is true to some extent but only if one takes high enough dosages frequently enough and that isn't great for ones health and it will cause paranoia, hallucinations, and *can* cause mental fog. Either way, it would be a lot more expensive than HRT and would have many more adverse side effects.

>Maybe when you are going to do it you find out you just don't have it in you to go through it. Or maybe you do, who knows. You won't actually know until you try.
This is why I was going to use one of the peaceful, nonpainful methods, viz. sodium nitrite and 1,4BD. These two methods are also the most atomic; taking sodium nitrite will either will kill or do no permanent damage so I don't need to worry about the typical suicide survivor ends up in hospital, wastes lots of money, and ends up with lifelong brain/body damage. This is why it has become popular over the past maybe seven years. I wouldn't want to take the risk with trying heights due to seeing far too many "drunk man falls out of fifteenth floor window, survives but is crippled for life" videos. Then it wouldn't be so scary to do since I would know that I would be either safe or have a nice death.

>You are afraid of your parents
It is just my mother--my father was abusive and she left him when I was maybe 10? Maybe 7? Not sure. Since I will be college aged soon I could move out, go no contact, and then kill myself?

>But see the absurdity of the situation.
>You are afraid of your parents being mad at you for something and also are not afraid of ending your life.
I am afraid of harming others--I care not about myself. The only reason I cannot kill myself yet is because it would harm people that care about me.

>As if your parents being mad was worse than them finding out their son is going to turn into maggot feed.
I don't want to be selfish but if my life is just suffering in a few years after trying whatever I can, I will have to do something, even if it causes some harm.

>Taking a month just to strike conversations with strangers
How do I learn to talk to people just randomly? If someone asks me about something I tend to be able to respond like a normal person would, but just trying to talk to people feels wrong. What if they just want to be left alone? What if they don't like me? Again, I don't want to harm others.

>long distance running
I don't think I will like it but that sounds like something I could actually try without being too uncomfortable.

In the 70s, computers were for a very select demographic of people who either needed to process data without renting out server time on an expensive mainframe, people who needed to automate gadgets like lab equipment or lighting, or were hobbyists who wanted to venture into the new frontier of computing. I have a modified COSMAC ELF that I am planning to use as the brains of a pen plotter, by controlling the motors and the pen, using the CPU to calculate motor speed and timing. I know of another guy who used his ELF as an adjustable timer for photo enlargement printing, turning off the light when the print was done.

80s computers were way more popular, and were used for stuff like word processing + typesetting, automated financial calculations, CAD stuff to easily visualize and edit building plans, even faster data processing, connections to mainframes with the data you need, medical billing, etc.

Most of your misconceptions stem from taking the conveniences of modern computers for granted. You don't know what they replaced, because you are a newfaggot who hasn't put much thought into this.

How do I cope with this or live with something that's not my T430? I would only get something newer to run modern bloatware when the 430 can't load websites and stuff anymore, but it seems like everything else will be a huge downgrade.

I'm convinced that most of you who have problems with Windows are just retards who have no idea how to configure anything. You probably haven't even turned off basic shit like it preloading Edge at startup and then wonder why it's using so much RAM.

KDE 4 was a complete disaster. Nepomuk and Akonadi were big bets that went very wrong.
Plasma 5 was much better but semi-related things like SDDM and Maliit were (and still are) complete abortions. The lock screen used to crash regularly and kwin wasn't the most stable thing either.
Plasma 6 is nice and stable, the login manager and virtual keyboard are supposedly going to be replaced by in-house forks, I'm not holding my breath but so far no crashes.

Did some malloc replacing and things are going well so far. Start by reserving 5 GiB of virtual memory and then I create a subarena of 1MB for the commands.

VmemArena main_arena;
if (!init_vmem_arena(&main_arena, GB(5)))
return 1;
Arena command_arena;
if (!init_subarena_from_vmem_arena(&command_arena, &main_arena, MB(1)))
return 1;

....

while (engine_state.running)
{
arena_reset(&command_arena);
