What should I wear? Advice please

So I've never really learned how to fashion or anything. I have a good friend's wedding coming up and I have no idea what to do.

I dress fairly masculine, like lumberjack butch, but I have an awful body shape (in my opinion) because of a disease that has me carrying ton of excess water weight.

So I was thinking likely lightweight slacks (wedding is in July) and a nice blouse or button up or something. But should I do shape wear? Or would it be better to find a tailor? Does shapewear allow you to use the restroom? Would it show under a white shirt? Is it hot? What if I didn't do that?

Aaah. I have no idea what I'm doing. Hahaha. Does anyone have any thoughts or hints? Sorry to be so useless in this, it makes my brain go crazy

Any tips on immigration?

Hey all, my partner and I have decided to tie the knot, so I'm going to be on my way from the US to Canada.

I've been looking all around the .gov websites, but I am looking for other helpful sites, or maybe even 'baby's guide to Canadian stuff'. I've been up there a lot so I know how every day life feels, but have no realistic idea about taxes or insurance or voting, etc etc. So yeah, any help would be appreciated.

Any late bloomer gays out there? What's your story?

I'm in my 30s and everything kinda went tits up for me a few years ago when I did some serious soul searching and some healing and realized I am not attracted to men. And I'm not just weird! And, woof, women are pretty.

Sooo I got a divorce and did a lot more soul searching and now I'm in the deepest relationship of my life. It's like every day I understand sappy love song lyrics more and more. Today I've realized that there's an actual empty space next to me. I've realized that I actually ache with how much I miss her.

Jesus Christ, it's so fucking sappy. And yet I'm so happy.

I wish someone could have reassured teenage me that I wasn't weird or wrong or gross. But better late than never, ey?

What would you do?

Kinda looking for advice or maybe an unethical tip or something.

[America] I need to see a specialist, but they need me to get a referral. I have an appointment scheduled with a primary care doc, but it's not until fucking July.

The urgent care here has turned me away because they (and I quote) "don't deal with conditions that have been ongoing for more than a week or two."

I don't know if I can get a referral from an ER, but I really would rather not go that route and waste their time and mine.

So... What would you do? What should I do? Anyone willing to give me a referral?

I guess for a little more info, I am positive I need to see this specialist. I've had this disease for almost ten years and I'm currently being seen by the most unavailable and uncaring VA guy there is. VA won't give me a referral to an outside specialist because it costs money and they think they have it covered. But that doc isn't listening to me and the last few months have been absolute hell trying to deal with some issues this has created.

Is it possible to pay someone to create an excel sheet for me?

Okay. Yes. This sounds like the dumbest question.

I just have a PDF that has a bunch of data in the ugliest possible way and I've attempted to pull it into an Excel sheet by myself and mess with the powershell to make it better, but it's awful, I'm too novice, and I frankly don't have the time.

This is a personal request, not actually condoned by my workplace, but the data wouldn't be sensitive. So could I find someone on like fiverr? Or, I dunno where to even look honestly.

Any suggestions?

What would happen to a werewolf in space?

Assuming an ISS like situation, every time the moon is showing, it's a full moon, no? Or do orbiting bodies still see it as crescent, waning, etc because it's still just in the shadow?

But then what if the werewolf is on an interplanetary expedition? What about Io, Ganymede, Europa, etc? Is it only our moon that causes lycanthropy to, y'know, wolf out? Or is it any moon? What if it is only our moon, then it seems like lycanthropes would be on the top of the list as either experimental pilots or just travelers.

What say you all?

Why are some shows so dark?

I know this has been an infuriating topic for a while now, but gosh it's getting on my nerves. I'm trying to watch Secret Level, finally, and I can't see half of what's happening because so many scenes across many of the shorts are pretty much pitch black.

Why?? Why not, y'know, just give us a little bit of fucking contrast? Instead, I have to choose whether to have a light on or to not see the scenes.
