There’s no chance I remember the exact source, but I did read something at one point about simulating a cycle with HRT dosing. I was holding off doing this for a bit because I was on a relatively low dose in general, and I didn’t want to worry my doctor about fluctuating levels before I finally got on a higher dose and once a week injections.

Now that I am on injections, I’m going to basically make sure I meet my overall dosages for a month, while tweaking them slightly week to week to mimic a cycle. Is this doctor recommended? I have no clue. Is this medical advice? Absolutely not! Does it intuitively make sense to me because of exactly what you’re talking about? Yes.

I’d love other people’s thoughts on this, and I’ll try to track down any resources on it and link them.

I remember first learning about that engine design and being similarly mad about why it never saw any use.

Cave et al v. Jester

The post is about their fans, not the validity of their associated religions.

I’m not denying the usage of the footage. Like yes, of course that is the exact example of when it should be used. However, many times, even if not releasing footage seems incriminating to the populace, when it is successfully withheld accountability is lost. Even when the footage is released cops often see no consequences for their actions, so the footage ends up just serving to normalize and broadcast police violence resulting in control via fear not peace via collaboration. But that’s all more anecdotal I fear.

In the end the data pretty much says body cams have a negligible impact on policing, at least according to this PBS article (most of the way through the article for that), but you can also cherry pick quotes from this to support pretty much any stance.

The idealized version of body cams would help with police reform, but I don’t believe in reform, I believe in abolition, so in the end they just look to me like giving them more tech to be twisted for oppression rather than accountability. If police thought body cams would hold them accountable they wouldn’t care about citizens filming them, and the fact people are being prosecuted for doing that says everything it needs to about what the police think about footage of their violence and crimes.

Just my thoughts. If you’ve got better info than my lone article from a source I’m slightly partial to I’d love to read it! I took a class on carceral technology, and I’ll try to track down some of the sources we used!

Oreo blizzard is my go to DQ order, I’ll try this next time.

EDIT: Folks very fairly pointed out the dismissiveness of my wording, and y’all are right. While I do think therapy can and does help with addictions of any type, my wording about guilt rather than addressing the actual addiction only served the humor I was going for and wasn’t respectful for the condition. I’m leaving what I wrote as is below mostly because the quip about birding and boobies still gives me a chuckle.

Men will do literally anything other than go to fucking therapy. Jesus. Guys. You’re allowed to watch porn, let’s just direct the fear of people finding out into finding ethical porn you don’t need to feel guilt for. Or better yet, pay for your porn and support creators directly.

Also find some hobbies that get you out of the goon cave. Take up fucking birding and go find some different boobies.

Bad take. Platner catching flack from both parties says everything, and he has seemingly united a deeply purple state with a traditionally very red working class. He is helping guide a state full of gun owning libertarians into realizing their politics are actually radically left and pro working class. I grew up in Maine, with people that are pro personal liberties and personal privacy and anti billionaire. Platner is showing those folks that all people are deserving of privacy and dignity while uniting against the Epstein class. A trans woman at a town hall of his I think said it best:

“I have changed a lot from the person I once was, I believe you are capable of the same”

As a trans person myself, Platner’s politics are some of the most honest and human I have seen in a long time. He’s helping deep rural Mainers come around to kinder ways of thinking, particularly toward people of color and queer folk, just as much as he is pushing the comfort of establishment democrats with anti capitalist thinking. I have also lived in Pennsylvania and am deeply wary of people pulling what Fetterman pulled. Maybe I’m misguided. Maybe I’ll be eating my words in a year, but I do find myself willing to give him the second chance he seems to be trying to earn.

EDIT: Obligatory mention of a top level distrust of all politicians, yada yada yada, electoralism bad, yada yada yada, voting bad, yada yada yada, don’t revoke my anarchist card. To me this post is about who to vote for if already operating under the assumption of voting at all.

Imagine if people decided that a desire to help others wasn’t confined to adolescence…

I appreciate the attention to detail of matching the number of times adapt is written out to the number of adapters. Quality stuff right there.

Truly the most kind interpretation of his likeness.

Balatro. It becomes a spreadsheet sim very quickly, in my opinion. I think part of the reason Binding of Isaac and Hades feel much more timeless to me is that every run has this sort of intuitive randomness vs this just full rng you have to counter with math. Balatro feels solved, and while I guess you could count Hades max heat run as “solving” the game, the replayability of it feels much higher because builds feels more dynamic than “make number go up faster”.

Middle aged white men with YouTube channels don’t stand a chance.

Gas leak or not, I think they’re onto something with that initial take…

What do you mean “trend”? Blahaj Zone has been horny this whole time, y'all just aren’t keeping up!

Wait noooo!! I’ve literally done this!!! Please tell me it’s not manipulation! It’s ethical I swear!! 🤣
