Youtube alternative with focus on educational creators. It doesn’t have an engagement algorithm and it claims to compensate creators better.

Most notably when they appear they’re unable to repair their ship because they don’t understand how it works.

I believe in a form of karma I like to compare to a public pool. If you keep pissing in the damn pool eventually you’re just swimming in piss and a lot of people eventually may get mad that they’re swimming in your piss

Talk to Germans about this, but back in the day (10 years ago) when I started hormones America was just starting our informed consent thing and most doctors weren’t on board with it yet, some people would do DIY (or even just inform that they would) then go to the doctor and say that they’re already on hormones and happy with it, but would like to switch to doctor provided. It was always a risky move, but I remember hearing it worked from time to time

We also have a lot of queer health clinics that were founded in response to the AIDS epidemic and have since added stuff like hrt to the list of services. The main one in ohio even does dentistry now.

Yep, and it should be noted that this is the model recommended by experts. Rates of regret are still extremely low in America. All the other hoops they make people jump through are not reasonable.

It really depends on where you are. In the US it’s remarkably easy if you’re an adult. Basically find a doctor that does informed consent and wait the 1-3 months for an appointment. It’s one of the few things we do well when it comes to healthcare.

And if you don’t have a doctor with informed consent like I did, it’ll probably take about 3 months of therapy, but your wait list time can be during that so it can easily be 4 months. That’s how it was for me 10 years ago

Seriously, Europe needs better trans healthcare. We have family medicine doctors and general practitioners who specialize in serving the queer community’s health needs and they will prescribe hormones without much fuss

I always heard it was wheat that domesticated us

You ever just boil some wheat then leave your leftovers in a jar too long?

Oh jeez I thought the whole calling Thatcher girl power thing was just a meme

Some polycules are a delightful collection of nice people, some are as dysfunctional as you might expect a bad relationship to get when you keep adding people, others are barely distinguishable from a cult. This seems to be that last kind

The US dollar actually is tied to something of value: it’s the format the us government will take their taxes in or else they will increasingly use their powers as a monopoly on fhe legitimate use of force until you give them what you owe

Crypto is only worth what others will pay for it. Which is why I don’t own it

It’s also that you’re fueling their cultural influence. Cultural influence does a lot of sanitization. Look at how japanophiles often fetishize Japan rather than seeing it as a country with good and bad elements. America was particularly good at this conversion.

Second most obese. Taft was a very large man

Makes sense. Individuals regularly get patents in America and individuals regularly get cancer in America. It’s just an asset albeit one that may have emotional value. But cancer will cost you your heirlooms here too

Yeah a 3.5m cube is 3.5^3 cubic meters. You gotta change the number the same as the unit. Honestly KL might be better than m^3 for intuitiveness

I’ve got a checklist for him to try. Though apparently one of the items on there is fucking named after him.

He should try mixing deleriants and empathogens. Or just take a heroic dose of datura.

It isn’t. I just don’t feel like swapping

Sometimes its strategy games like city builders and 4Xs that can be addictive without being enjoyable

Well it’s good to know that the courts are willing to tell the executive they can’t do things. Shame about it only applying when the feds are helping ordinary people
