  • No. You're high. You think it's the year 1999. It's actually closer to the year 2199. You've been living in a dream world.

  • It also works for metaphysics. Reincarnation is real and there's only one soul, just bouncing around through all of time and space in an endless loop.

  • I always liked the idea that the genie rules, when they're presented, are not laws/rules so much as hard physical limits. You can't wish for more wishes because the genie just doesn't have that much power. They're powerful, but they're not God with a capital G. The genie tries to add a electron to every atom in the universe. If fails and collapses with exhaustion before it's even finished adding one extra electron to every atom in your body.

  • Should I start progesterone right away?

    Jump

  • Go ahead and start it now. There's no evidence that it interferes with breast development. In fact, the only study on it shows that it increases breast development.

  • Is it just me, or do “hehe”, “hehehe”, and “hehehehe” mean different things?

  • You wouldn't even need to organize some mass campaign to get people to pull money out. This thing will trigger a bank run all on its own. Do you think the banks have enough reserves to immediately cash out the accounts of every non-citizen? Sometimes a bank decides it doesn't want to do business with someone anymore and will close their account. If that happens to you, they send you a check with your account balance on it. But we're talking tens of millions of people here, many with substantial amounts in US accounts. This order, if implemented, would cause every bank in the country to collapse. They just don't maintain the reserves to cash out that many accounts all at once.

  • Slingshot is a nice detail 😁

  • I'm considering HRT and have questions about HRT trials, reversibility, and older adulthood

    Jump

  • Your understanding of the reversibility seems spot on. If you're not 100% certain, just make sure you are 100% content with the permanent effects. And just be aware, breast growth can be highly variable. You could end up with permanent c or d cups or something impossible to conceal. If you really want to be certain, ask yourself "if I am wrong, am I ok needing ftm top surgery in the slim chance I'm wrong?"

    As far as aging, it really varies. Most trans women I know don't induce an artificial menopause by cutting HRT at age 50 or so. I plan on continuing HRT for as long as I can, into my 70s or 80s, only stopping if I have some severe health effect that hrt would be contraindicated for. I don't think anyone stops hrt because they don't feel their gender isn't important. I think some may do it in their old age simply to address health risks. And for me, I don't mean, "is there evidence that ancient methods of hrt contributed to risks (like blood clots.)" My standard is, unless a condition would require cis women to get off hrt, or if it would require prescribing estrogen blockers, then I'll stay on hrt. A lot of docs really don't get the importance of hrt and are willing to recommend ceasing it on the flimsiest of excuses. Hell, I maintain a very robust HRT stockpile so I never have to worry about a doc cutting me off.

    As far as whether an informed consent clinic would prescribe you hrt, I think they would. That's really the whole point of informed consent. Instead of gatekeeping care, the decision is ultimately left to the patient. The doc makes sure the patient is fully informed and capable of giving proper consent. But if a clinic is truly practicing informed consent, the final decision should be up to you.

    Woman seen trying to set fire to south Kansas City warehouse tied to previous ICE detention proposal

    Jump

  • It is perfectly moral to burn down an ICE detention center before it's occupied. It's like burning down Auschwitz before they moved anyone in.

  • Dumping US tech giants within 5 years is realistic for banks, insurers, pension funds, according to the Dutch Central Bank

    Jump

  • Fine. Then pass a law that provides fines for using US tech, but have those fines ramp up over five years. The fines start three months from now at a low level and ramp up to ruinous levels over five years. This gives companies time but also strong financial incentive to make the transition.

    Quoting a five year time frame is insidious. It's just short enough to make it seem like you're not dismissing the problem, but it's long enough that business interests can drag their feet and hope the problem goes away before they have to do anything. It's a deflection tactic. The correct response to such weasels is to give them a forced transition structure that provides for immediate accountability, but has the pressure ramp up gradually so that good faith attempts at transition can actually be done.

  • Students in Iran hold anti-government protests as US forces gather for possible strikes

    Jump

  • It certainly was thousands, as the Iranian government itself has said 3,000 were killed. So somewhere from 3,000 to 36,000.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres

    But my point is that any effort to topple the Iranian government will inevitably kill hundreds of thousands if not millions of civilians. And whatever government forms after will likely be even worse, if recent US interventions in the region are any indication. We toppled Saddam and got ISIS instead.

  • Private businesses have regulations on their ads all the time. Cities across the country regulate how large shop ads can be.

    Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes.
