There's definitely just some variance in terms of how much it bleeds and whether it hurts. I haven't really noticed any pattern in terms of injection site; I think there are a lot of factors. Holding the vial and maybe rolling it between your hands can help warm up the liquid, which makes it a little bit easier to both draw and inject.

The needle size will affect these things too -- the thinner the injection needle the less blood I've seen, but then it takes a little longer to inject. Do you know what gauge you're using to inject with?

I found the whole process very stressful for the first several weeks, but eventually it just became routine!

I'm curious how these modern takes on One Piece will deal with the Okama and related characters (assuming they get that far!)

I haven't read the manga, but the anime at least comes off super-transphobic in how they're played for laughs at times. I think that'd necessarily be cut from the live action version, but less hopeful about this for another anime adaptation.

One issue I've seen is that the bot's empty posts tend to flood out other more interesting stuff from my main feed.

I've thought about removing the community from my feed for that reason, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I think Shield Hero and Goblin Slayer have mixed review because the content/story is much more mature than Frieren.

Hmm, the former two shows always seemed extremely juvenile to me.

I've watched four this season:

• Seven Spellblades: I assumed going in it would be fairly generic, but it's turned into my overall favorite, mostly on the merits of the story itself. It does a surprisingly good job of maintaining a relatively large ensemble of MCs. (Also, given that the setting is kind of "dark anime harry potter", I can't help but appreciate the implied "fuck you" to JKR in one subplot.)
• Helck: not all the humor lands for me, but enough does that I really enjoy the show! The slowly unfolding plot is kind of neat too.
• Undead Girl Murder Farce: I really like the sense of humor and style in this one. At the start it seems like it's going to be a bit like In/Spectre in terms of slow-paced mystery solving, but the action starts to pick up ~half way through the first cour.
• The vending machine iskei: I wouldn't say it's exactly a good show, but it's been watchable enough I made it to the end of the season!

What I'm pretty sure is the creator's name is watermarked in the top left -- "Sangled".

That let me find this post: https://www.deviantart.com/sangled/art/I-Made-a-Picrew-805976802

It says it was made private, but that you can still access it via this link: https://picrew.me/ja/secret_image_maker/GWQo0ayzr7bd5eKF. (I checked and it has the sunglasses and lips from your pic, so presumably it's the right one!)

Here is some previous discussion on whether to defederate from them due to worries about their moderation capacity (and how it leads to spam/etc): https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1671319

So far, it seems that most of the spam etc isn’t making it through to people, which is great! It means we can keep things going as they are without it impacting people too much. Please use this thread to let me know if that changes though

r/egg_irl had pretty strong rules about that too -- probably because you also have to deal with people uploading photos of others, and its way easier (given the focus of the place) to just ban them completely.

From what little I've looked into, it matters how much you keep down there if you later want a vaginoplasty (because it changes what they have to work with.)

If I'm following their issues correctly:

• 3131 was for tracking the original issue that they believed was fixed
• 3428 describes some similar ongoing issues with hot since 0.18. (not sure if that applies to active as well)

Slightly related: I was looking recently at early issues of Dragon magazine on archive.org, and #3 has a section on women. The title is "NOTES ON WOMEN & MAGIC -- Bringing the Distaff Gamer into D & D".

It proceeds roughly how you'd expect from the title.

Sadly at work force pushing just isn't an option, so I've just learned to ignore my deadname. There's apparently some way to use .mailmap to swap out the way your name/email displays, but github doesn't respect it in any case. :|

I do mostly update old JIRA/Confluence references as I run into them. I also make a habit of referring to others by their @handle references, since that will update automatically if they ever change their name.
