Surprised how few times I've forgotten personally. Probably only a couple times in the last 5 months - less than once per month. I did intentionally decide not to take spiro like twice when I was sick (already had a hard time staying hydrated, so spiro seemed like a bad idea) and I did delay a shot until the morning (but it technically was on-schedule compared to my first shot).

Not if you disappear them for seeing too much and replace them with cooler coworkers.

Time for coworkers to peer pressure you into doing full queer mode at work?

I'm surprised companies don't worry about how quickly someone they hire will retire if they are paid that kind of money. But I guess if they're just concerned with quarter-to-quarter timelines, that's not much of a concern?

The one with the internet, whatever that's called.

But what if we take that trope and make them siblings, so it would be even more stereotypical anime trope?

Sorta surprised One Piece is missing from the two threads, but also given the wide variety of gender-variant representation introduced to the show over decades, I'm also not surprised no one wants go through the trouble of adding it.

spoiler mentions of sh/suicide

at the same time I’m starting to understand the elder trans women who’ve said they try to avoid trans/queer spaces/people because of how heavy it can be

One of the non-queer online communities I used to regular had a lot of people who were depressed and some who talked a bit about SH (but talking about that in detail seemed not-allowed) and some who were suicidal. Like one person I came to consider a friend whom had attempted suicide on multiple occasions before joining the community with no reason to believe things could get better. From the beginning I worried he might not be with us for long, :\

It was far from always depressing there, but by comparison this place still seems better? At least there seems to be a lot more optimism for the near-future, even for those whom struggle a lot in the present. But like, at this point I'm starting to avoid that kind of stuff when I can and I'm not even a trans elder...

Didn't know the terminology at the time, but what I assume now was chronic dissociation made me feel like I had an easier time dealing with that kind of environment and made me want to be there to try to support others. Not really sure how good of job I did though. And its not like I wasn't affected by those kinds of things... I was just less self-aware of how it was actually affecting me. And now its harder to not be aware of that... :::

Who doesn't consider it a problem?

Spandex and cushion are comfy. If its a long and/or wet ride, I'm gonna go comfy since I have to change at the end anyways. Granted, I don't go for things like aerohelmets, but also can't remember ever seeing one IRL outside like bike events with like 100s of cyclists.

Exclusive analysis finds the rate of maternal deaths in Texas increased 56% from 2019 to 2022, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period.

Curious what the percent change is for just states that didn't implement abortion-restricting measures is...

Many just detect temperature changes. And upside down can will spray cold air. If there's any space between the doors or between the door and the frame, you can spray it in and it'll detect the temperature motion. Fancier models do exist that are more specific, so YMMV.
