It varies by country, but it seems like estrogen is often not actually illegal to import and administer yourself, whereas buying/selling/taking testosterone without a prescription is actively illegal.

I would personally never trust the safety of illegal drugs outside of a really community-focused situation like weed and mushrooms sometimes have. Everyone knows it’s safe because Jeff grew it himself kind of deal. Even if the T itself is legit, you could fuck yourself up without regular health checks. I don’t know if estrogen is as dangerous.

I think I’ve met the most transmascs in healthcare professions, doctors and nurses. I can imagine one wants to help increase access to gender affirming care.

On the internet you have to put effort into showcasing femininity while maleness is assumed. I think the transmasc equivalent of flower emojis and catgirl avatars is just sitting there quietly, which makes it harder to spot.

You’re projecting onto me things that you’ve observed in other people who are not me.

Yeah, it’s a real tragedy all those cishet white folks getting stuffed in ICE vans and stopped at the borders.

I found cognitive behavioral therapy very helpful and cannot recommend it enough.

He could be saying some really good stuff in those videos and I’ll never know because the thumbnails were enough for me.

I regret looking into what kind of content he makes.

I can’t bring myself to be happy about it when it involves a bunch of innocent people suffering.

If I remember right, “we” is celes personal pronoun.

I don’t know what was said before the deletion, but are anarchists not welcome here?

Effect can be a verb also, but then the meaning is like “cause.”

“The president’s policies effected change.”

It’s technically accurate that cards with lots of text aren’t going to effect me, I think.

Pretty sure they’re right. If something has no effect on you, it doesn’t affect you.

I can’t do a comprehensive search right now, but I’ve so far been unable to find the word “effect” on card text.

Everyone eats baby birds. They’re full of delicious little bones, which plants are famous for lacking.

e: Wanted to see if this is a thing in English.

But there is logic behind them.

1+2+3=6 and 2+3+1=6 also.

But 1+2*3 and 2*3+1 won’t come out the same if you do the calculations in just any order. It’s not always possible to order them left to right like in the second version, and if we use parentheses for everything we can end up with an illegible mess. I actually tried to type an example of how silly it could look and lost track of my own parentheses nesting before I got very far.

Do you have any other suggestion for how to notate an equation which would make memorization of PEMDAS unnecessary?

I sometimes like to add unnecessary parentheses or brackets to section things off and improve legibility, but I don’t do any math stuff collaboratively, so I have no idea whether others would find that disruptive or helpful.

I’ve worked retail during the holidays and agree with the “Christmas energy” and helping people pick out gifts. It’s like everything is so disorganized and slightly off from normal that it’s almost like a dream. Like a post-apocalypse in which I have the skills to save everyone, because I know exactly where in the stock room we have that item that’s “sold out” in the system. Everyone adores me because I’m not only willing to sort the candles and frames, I fucking enjoy it.

e: I also have one of my playlists that’s “happy” themed. It includes All I Want for Christmas is You, and I will listen to it at any time of year at all.

Isn’t it pretty commonly legal to record and disclose any conversation to which you’re a party?

This is the video in question, yes? Any time-stamp I go to is an AI-generated image.

I think they added that after this comment was made, judging by the post times.
