WalrusDragonOnABike,

Definitely something that many mention experiencing and different people attribute to various things. I think sometimes though changes are almost sort of a placebo effect, where HRT acts as a justification to express emotions that have been suppressed when masking. Also anger that exists as a result of the masking has no reason to exist without the masking, so if you start see yourself a bit more like your true self, the self-frustation may go.

Personally I saw some effects people sometimes attribute to HRT (not really the emotions you mention) simply as a result realizing I’m not actually technical cis long before starting. I haven’t been on HRT long enough (only 3 days) to say how it might effect me, but even if it just helps with dissociation, it would likely have that affect of making emotions feel more vibrant just simply because they’re feel like they’re my emotions. But time will tell.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

The main reason I’d be hesitant to get one is because I don’t really ever set my thermostat to heat. Even during the once-in-a-lifetime freeze a few years ago, we never ran any heaters (granted, we live in an apartment, so only like 2.5 walls are exposed to the outside - would be very different in an actual house, but I’d still rather opt for better insulation, a single space heater, and a heated blanket over spending that same money on a heat pump that does nothing for years at a time).

WalrusDragonOnABike,

My 750W ebike is restricted to 20mph (which I think is a good limit) and 1000W would still be useful for going more than 3mph up some of the hills here and I’m not even carrying much of a load (much lighter than the backpack I carried around in middle school - well, I’m on the bike and I’m overweight). And because of how heavy and how much rolling resistance it has due to larger tires, its slower than my acoustic bike at speed: I can only get my ebike up to ~28mph on flats and I can’t maintain that for any useful amount of distance (well, long enough to make it to a light in time occasionally). Of course the ebike makes frequent acceleration easier. Which means I slow down more when passing people on an ebike than an acoustic bike, where I’d have to get sweatier on my way to work to slow down for them.

Maybe I just need to be banned from riding acoustic bikes because I’m heavy and go fast?

WalrusDragonOnABike,

A bike without electric assist.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Ebikes are also bicycles. They just have assistance. Sometimes language gets updated to account for new technology.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

I didn’t make up the language. Language doesn’t have to be rational. /shrug

WalrusDragonOnABike,

But they also got rid of the union in this process as well, presumably, which would cost them money by reducing how much wages they could steal from workers.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Given the context, it would be terms of legally transitioning someone’s gender marker.

No clue how true it is. I think this is the proposal for the law, but I don’t know German, so finding the actual bill seems challenging: perma.cc/DML8-XWED

S2 paragraph 3 seems to say they may choose 1 or more names, but idk the nuances of the language to know if that means choosing 0 new names is not allowed?

WalrusDragonOnABike, (edited )

Based on which definition?

I feel like by most commonly used definitions I would be. About half my income (before taxes) goes into savings, my position is considered management, I make between 75%-200% of median national income, I have a graduate degree.

I don’t make half that rate though.

Not sure I think middle class is a useful method of classification though, but still curious why that specific number.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Picked my area and 29K puts you in the middle class, which is like $13/hr, and its pretty close to the national average for COL.

I need some tucking help

As a transfem, it’s probably not a surprise that I get disphoric about a certain area. Tucking normally doesn’t really work for me because it leaves tape residue everywhere, hurts like hell to remove the tape and is super inconvenient (even though it’s medical tape). My idea: there has to be at least some underwear that is...

WalrusDragonOnABike,

No clue if they ship to Europe/what the cost of shipping are, but I’ve liked EnFemme’s offerings, but they’re not cheap. Tried a few other things, but its what has worked the best for me. Doubling or tripling up on basic panties can also work to some degree and probably a lot cheaper and more broadly available.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Competition is unfair to monopolies, so this law prevents competition. /j

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Also, could lead to perverse incentives if they re-sold the vehicles or gifted them to people (who may or may not happen to know people who help run the program).

WalrusDragonOnABike,

can help a lot with steep hills or pulling more weight on a cargo bike etc. Agreed. I live in a fairly flat area, but there’s still a few hills and one of them, I’m only going a few miles per hour even with pedaling at 750W assist (class 2 ebike in the US). Given this is just proposing 250W->500W change, its not going far enough imo.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Also gotta love when the noise filter filters out your snoring, so the person you’re talking to doesn’t know you didn’t hear because you fell asleep. Over and over through your conversation.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

If you don’t live on the first floor and don’t have an elevator, it matters a lot. There’s zero chance I’d use my current ebike if I weren’t living on the bottom floor. I cannot reliably safely do that. Doing basic maintenance is much harder due to the weight than for aluminum or carbon acoustic bikes, which is necessary to keep a bike reliable and safe to ride. And when you do fall, it has a lot more momentum to hurt you.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Not the first TAS-approved level that people have beaten either. Bombs5 also uploaded thanks to tool-assist and also was cleared a year ago. GG to Sanyx for TtH and Fast for Bombs5. Trials of Death is another feat to be cleared at all, which was cleared RTA by its creator and about a month ago by jcthechampfogz .

SMW kaizo hacks also exist and not all creators clear their own hacks and lots of older hacks were intended to be cleared with savestates (but people choose to take the challenge of doing them without). Fruit dealer clear (first clear was by kezcade I believe, followed by lungfish, boothebun, and tjb0607; the last of which did all practice without savestates and defeated it 8 times in a row - a boss intended as TAS-only). There’s also Hacker’s Dream’s last level, but I think its creator may have RTA beaten it themselves at least and intended it to be at the upper edge of human-viable.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

I think the existing 100TB SSDs are over $10k. Halo products charge a premium.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Entertaining video by lawyer about why not to, published by Rutger’s school of law: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE&t=5s

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Doesn’t that just mean many insurance companies won’t insure anything in the state and those that stay are going to be the most expensive options?

WalrusDragonOnABike,

When people suggest my state gets wiped off the map, I’m upvoting it. I’d imagine a lot of the people upvoting that are also Floridians.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Why not take care of Texas and Musk at the same time? Seems like more trouble to do them separately.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

But why would you want to watch videos on your phone?

Music is small. 256GB is plenty to store well over 1000 hours of music. No need for dealing with annoying SD card setups.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Last time I used an SD card in a phone (actually used it: not just having one in there) was with a phone that have like 16-32GBs. Given you couldn’t install apps on it, that mean doing annoying file management to just try to get enough space to install something. Granted, if your use case is just bulk storage and the base phone has plenty of space for apps, I imagine its perfectly fine.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

I’m mostly just joking because I hate using phones instead of laptops/desktops and have bad experiences with SD cards in phones over a decade ago. Should have probably included some /j or /s to make that more clear, but /shrug.

I’d actually rather have the option than not and I don’t actually judge people for watching things on their phones.
