Having been in a similar position, along with knowing others, I would very much say the “YOLO” approach isn’t worth it. I know people who rushed things, and their inability to have bio kids eats at them quite significantly. As others have suggested, getting on something like finasteride will prevent T from doing further damage to your body, while still giving you that option. You can do both and still come out okay, but relying on your parents being chill is extremely risky.

It’s also worth nothing that the number of people willing to identify as Republican has been dropping precipitously. I’d like to see the same poll, but with Independents added in the mix.

Germany was another country where, upon trying some chips that were labeled something like “Dangerously Ultra hot” actually made me laugh because they were about as spicy as black pepper.

I had some pretty solidly spicy curries and ramen in Japan though, I definitely think it’s like the US where it’s very regional.

I mean, even for cis women it’s basically a brand new procedure with little data, for something that’s not considered life-saving. It would be highly unethical to try one with current methods, but there’s nothing outright “impossible” about it.

There have been over 100 uterus transplants performed worldwide, with over 70 live births. The first successful transplant was in 2011 in Sweden.

I mean, that’s kind of what they did in Superman, and it was very cathartic

It’s definitely foam blocks to obscure the shape. We use them for camo all the time.

The big-ass coke in a single bottle still gets to pretend it’s 2.5 servings though.

The really funny thing is that back in the day it was even worse. They had ads claiming a 12oz Coke bottle was 3 “large” servings, and a lady serving little whiskey glasses of it to her friends.

See, it’s different because they were brown religious zealots, which are the bad kind.

I mean, I wouldn’t answer that as a primary reason either. That doesn’t mean the other 52% see no issue or want to go to church because of Trump. There are so, so many other issues I have with mainstream Christianity that evangelical support of Trump wouldn’t be in the top 10 reasons I wouldn’t go to church.

According to the research, 48% of respondents said they agree with the statement “Christians’ support of Trump has made me less likely to go to church.”

Personally, if I wasn’t planning on ever going in the first place, I wouldn’t agree with that statement either.

The worst thing is that this goes for EVERYTHING now, not just games. While Tesla got lots of praise for OTA updates, it was one of the worst things that happened to the automotive industry, because manufacturers no longer have to worry about expensive recalls for sometimes serious issues. They will ship things that are known defects, sometimes serious ones, and you can hand wave the consequences away with “Oh, it’ll be OTA’d by delivery.”

That being said, sometimes it’s a benefit, because there might be a major and a minor annoying defect, and we can now better prioritize getting the major one fixed before shipping and the minor one OTA’d, but it has still set a frustrating and dangerous precedent in the industry.

Fun fact: the Model 3 was shipped without any low-mu (ice/snow) calibration for its stability control system, and it was later OTA updated. Why was this allowed? They needed to get cars off the line ASAP, and they said “Well, all the initial customers are in California and it’s summer, so they won’t be driving in slick conditions.” Literally delivering to customers with known safety defects, but because it could be updated OTA, they didn’t care.

Even worse is JIS, where it seems that its explicit and singular goal was to make a screw that would be instantly obliterated the moment a Phillips driver touched it. Fun fact, JIS drivers work far better on Phillips than Phillips drivers do, and I’ve yet to strip one since using JIS drivers almost exclusively

“I’m going to the one place that hasn’t been ruined by capitalism… SPACE”

Part of me feels like they wanted heroin and oxycodone replaced with the far more lethal fentanyl for the purpose of punishing the “wicked junkies” but that’s somewhat of a conspiracy theory.

I mean, there’s a reason crack cocaine was so prolific and associated with negative outcomes in black communities… It’s reasonable that a similar strategy might be used again in that same manner.

That’s not even horrifically expensive in most cities. I’ve seen people pay $20/shot at some bars.

Idk, while I obviously try to appreciate everyone’s experiences and don’t like making broad statements, it can be hard to not feel that way when literally every femboy I’ve met eventually transitioned, myself included…

That’s not to say it’s a great take, but it’s definitely understandable why people would feel that way. Especially since for me personally, it was very much a coping mechanism for being trans.

Again not trying to invalidate anyone’s experiences, just kinda venting my own personal thoughts/feelings on the matter.

What are her takes on femboys?

They’re tied to the same thing, because they think women are weak and pathetic, thus need protection (so they’re the ones who get to abuse them instead).

He did it purely to spite the actual founders of Tesla, whose car that was supposed to be. There was a long legal battle over the first cars off the line, and because Musk has always been a giant pissbaby, he decided to send it into space as a “There, now no one can have it” move.

I mean, there’s a reason there’s literally an entire famous game series that’s a satire of Japan’s messed up law system.
