Is there a particular reason why Cyprus is such an outlier for being much more Christian?

The solutions look a lot different for the real loneliness epidemic than a “male loneliness epidemic”. You fix the first by creating more walkable cities, more third places you can be without needing to spend money, and giving people the time and money they need to go out, do things, and socialize.

The proposed solutions for the “male loneliness epidemic” seem to be a lot more like shitty men saying “women need to lower their standards and be okay with being my therapist/mom/girlfriend, while I change nothing about myself”

Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.

I’m glad that’s worked well for you! For the overwhelming majority, keeping their money in the 401k and continuing to make regular contributions, regardless of market volatility, is the wisest course of action.

What makeup tricks work to do that, if you don’t mind me asking?

Gotta love Apo’s smile! What a cutie

Fuck off, transphobe

Thanks for recommending Huginn! It seems like it might be able to do what I’m after, and then some. I’ll have to dig in more

Kept me waiting long enough that I’m no longer a Proton user. Selfhosted Nextcloud goes weeeeeeeeee

I use Pocket, Zotero, and Obsidian. I save news articles from my RSS feeds and social media to Pocket, and assign them tags. Journal articles I find get saved to Zotero, which saves a PDF too, if available. Both Pocket and Zotero have plugins to sync with Obsidian, which I also use for general notetaking and as a personal journal.

Gotcha, thank you so much! I’ll talk with my doctor the next time I see her about finasteride and minoxidil and see what she thinks

Thank you! Do you think minoxidil is effective enough that I should think about taking until I can start HRT?

Have you considered sending the journalist a message about this? I haven’t seen mention of it anywhere else

Exactly no one will think twice about seeing you playing a GameBoy ROM on your phone, you’re good

I would not set foot in Florida or Texas if you paid me.

I do! I volunteer at a dairy goat CSA, and I’ve learned how to make my own chèvre at home

Yay, I’m so happy for you! What jewelry did they give you? Just like simple studs while the piercings heal?

But I’m so good at obsessing over things I can’t control!

You’re right though, I just need to keep my head down, be around people I can trust, and keep making progress bit by bit

I’m glad you found such a great place to live! I left the red state I grew up in a few years ago, and I’m never looking back.

And thank you for the encouragement 😊 I’m still not brave enough to go outside while presenting femme, but I love the little sparks of joy I get from doing affirming things at home!
