Hanlon's Razor is a variant - when human activity can be attributed to malice or stupidity, it is more likely stupidity (or something like that).

Basically most humans are dumb, not evil.

Trans porn is fine, it's just trans people that they have a problem with.

I studied politics, and even then I never wanted to run. I just wanted to be a staffer and work on policy and tactics.

I left politics because I felt I couldn't help people, and inter party politics were not something I was interested in. I went back to school so I could help people more directly as a nurse.

I don't think I'm a great candidate, but I feel like I have to do something. No one is coming to save us, we have to so it ourselves.

I'm in Minnesota, if you can make it up here I'll take you with me.

Estrogen does not dilate blood vessels, and vasodilation won't cause pain. It's very unlikely that the hormone is causing the pain.

I have a few questions, if you don't mind? You said you are doing the injections subcutaneous. Where are you injecting? What length of needle are you using? Subcutaneous injections are relatively painless and shouldn't be causing any of the issues you are describing, but if you're using a needle that is too big or injecting in a bad spot the pain could be related to injection site soreness.

Pain in the legs and below the knee could be a sign of deep vein thrombosis. It's very unlikely, but estrogen can make you more susceptible to blood clots. You are at higher risk for this if you smoke cigarettes (especially if you're over 35), if you have a more sedentary lifestyle, or if your serum estrogen level is too high. Subcutaneous injections tend to lead to higher serum estrogen levels, which can put you at a higher risk for blood clots.

You said you are DIY, is anyone checking your estrogen levels? What dose of estrogen are you taking, and how often?

It's pretty unlikely the pain is from a DVT, but that is a very serious complication you need to rule out (a dislodged clot from a DVT that travels to your lungs can cause a pulmonary embolism, which can potentially be fatal).

I hope this doesn't come across as condescending, but these are the questions I would ask if you were a patient.

I do, the longer it's been the shorter they are (almost 10 years now). My trigger is seeing someone, usually in a TV or movie, take that long, exaggerated drag.

The problem is the American system of democracy as it is currently organized is too geared to protect the interests of the ruling class.

I compellingly agree that ranked choice or proportional representation would alleviate many of the issues we have, but, unlike many epochs of human history, we are literally running out of time.

Women of color actually have really high rates of HIV compared to the rest of the population. Working to de-stigmatize both the infection and prevention treatments is a really important part of reducing overall numbers of HIV.

I prefer to do this with "Do you believe in life after love". We call it a Cher bomb.

Best part is it's basically a bell curve of how into it people get. Starts off alow, maybe one or two. By the third play, most of the bar is feeling it. And then all downhill from there

Slay the Spire. It's so challenging that it's always engaging when I play it.

I did at 34 and it worked out great! Follow your heart ❤️

That's why I bought it (and I loved the first game way back when). The game play is fantastic with a ton of content. Story and characters aren't my cup of tea, but I imagine it appeals to what a lot of people like about dnd. That being said, it's the first game in years I've played and then suddenly realized it's 2am.
