My question was obviously about discrimination. You are being deliberately obtuse.

I don’t feed trolls. Fuck off

Both discriminate

What’s the difference?

That picture of you is fucking stylish.

That is fucked up, and it’s absolutely shitty that you had to deal with that. My parents are the same sort of people. ( which is part of why I don’t talk to them).

You need to know: if it wasn’t this, they would still find a way to be cunts. Trans is seen as an easy target, particularly with the republicans in power. If it wasn’t this, there would be something.

This is the hard part: they want you to feel bad. It is their sole purpose in interacting with you. How you feel, only you have control over.

I tend to brutal rudeness when interacting with people like this, using language they don’t tolerate, and being personal about it.

That won’t work for everyone, and be mindful that law enforcement will back granny sour cunt over you, but be rude, be loud, embarrass them, because that’s what they are trying to do to you

Seriously dude (dudette? Non binary dragon??), don’t come back, because it’s a billion dollar fine and hundreds of years in horny jail

No such thing as doesn’t pass. You tell me you’re a woman? Who the fuck am I to question what you feel in your bones? In the spirit of the republicans making shit up to disenfranchise, I hereby declare that you pass. As whatever the fuck you want, whenever the fuck you want to.

I will even print you a pass.

Serious question: if they are a myth, why the need to ban trans people from anything?

I hereby ban dragons from Starbucks! And the bank! And from driving! Muahaha, I’m so fucking evil!!

Thanks for the input. There is a lot to think about, and whilst $1,000 is ok, if I can get a good result for less, then I have no objections to that.

People here have given great advice, and have given me a good base to start my research. I have about seven weeks until his birthday, which gives me time to research and order.

Thanks to all who have weighed in

Thank you. My list keeps growing….
Happy to spend the money on the right printer, as long as it doesn’t become an expensive dust collector.

$1k is ok, as long as it’s used, but I gotta say, the current special of $369 for the Kobra 3 v2 is pretty enticing!

Thank you. That was the plan. Looks like a fun project and it always amazes me how resourceful and thoughtful all of my kids are. It’s the sort of project that will make him think, and appreciate the finished product in a way that the preassembled one wouldn’t.

Three evenings is a good period of time for a serious, kit set project

Thank you. Bambu has been the number one recommendation from people I know. Cursory research looked great, but there were some reservations from people whose opinions I value.

This is the clearest, most succinct evaluation. Much appreciated, and they are off the list.

Thank you. Added this to my comparison list. Bed self-leveling function looks useful

Thanks, just looked at the Core One+. In budget and looks great. Appreciate the input!

Awesome. Another needy pet in the household!

Hi all, Thanks for the replies thus far. Budget is about AUD$1,000

Not sure about printing materials, I need help there. Plenty of space for the printer and any peripherals needed.

Yep. Came here ready to rant

It wasn’t easy getting into that routine. I get up at 4:30 for my weekday walk, and it takes about an hour. Weekend walks start at 5:00am, and generally take 1.5-2 hours. Gym is two hours, once or twice during the week and both weekend days. Life still gets in the way sometimes, and I am lucky that my job is flexible. For example, I started work at 6:30 this morning and will knock off at 2:30 and go straight to the gym. I will be home before 5:00.

The alternative was living with the results of an injury and letting my health deteriorate further than it already had. Some days, motivation is still hard.

Walk 5km a day during the week, and 8-10km a day on weekends. Weights three to four times a week, and a cardio session afterwards. I like using the ski machine, as it gives me a serious workout without any impact.

Weights has had a huge impact on my quality of life, as I am recovering (recovered?) from a serious head injury. I was not active for nearly 18 months and am feeling good about my body for the first time in years.

58m here for context.

See, that’s a double negative, so the “no’s” cancel each other out, therefore you are left with a terrorist organisation
