In fact, one systematic review found that the average prevalence of surgical regret was 14.4% among all research studies analyzed

Holy shit that’s actually crazy to me. [I actually tracked down that number because I was so curious] (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1007/s00268-017-3895-9) It’s over half cancer surgery. I’ve known that the regret rate for transition surgery was low for a long time, but that piece of context kinda blows my mind. You’re more likely to regret a variety of life saving procedures than gender affirming surgery, and it’s often by insane orders of magnitude.

Canadian Rafael “Fast Eddie” Cruz thinks the first ammendment gives him the right to harass his coworkers! That’s because Canadian Rafael “Fast Eddie” Cruz is an asshole!

Me but when I identify weed strains by sight and smell.

Maybe her third thumb is just a little slender. If I position my hand like that, I can almost reach. I don’t think hands with those proportions would be impossible. It’s probably a little wonky genetically, being her third arm and all.

It’s extra impressive. It got 15 fingers right!

So I don’t know much about mainstream heroes, but I know a lot about The Venture Bros and One Punch Man. Literally nobody in TVB, unless I’m allowed to say that like Hunter mobilizing the entirety of the Office of Secret Intelligence. OPM has a few. Saitama obviously. He’s immune to the law of cause and effect. He can punch holes in reality and spacetime. Tatsumaki can scoop up entire cities and crush the monster goop out of them. She can stop bombs and use them herself. She could smash a military base together and hurl the explosive result at another base. She couldn’t be stopped in our world. Metal Knight has an army of machines that might be able to stand up. He probably doesn’t have the pure numbers, but he has us on technology handily. I think the real question is can he stop our immense firepower and artillery from overwhelming his robot army. I’m not totally up to date, but I haven’t seen enough of Blast to give it to him with confidence. I want to say Blast could on roughly Saitama logic: his punches rend space and time. There was a period where Garou could have, but he arguably wasn’t a hero at the time. That’s probably it for OPM.

I’ve been flirting with an elusive trans boy. Maybe one day I’ll be as lucky as you, getting smacked by his silicone dick x_x

This isn’t important, but I hate it that every time I read ADF it’s these fucks and not the Anna Delvy Foundation. I kinda admire her. I definitely respect her. But any time I read ADF it’s hate and never art. And that sucks. I had reserved that acronym in my lexicon for a funny reference. And they fucked that up.

The absolute irony of declaring a space an echo chamber in the third level of a post you made all by yourself xfd

Shoot someone in self defense>patch up their wounds while reciting communist theory.

Maybe he means trans-Atlantic rights?

My stoned ass was like “this isn’t Pikmin.” x_x

PDFs are trusted and respected around the world. It’s a better denomination than most.

Oh I agree with all of that. My convoluted point was that even the rare legitimate dangerous fringe leftist is usually less dangerous than many of the pervasive directions of the right.

Tbh, and this is an unpopular opinion throughout much of the federation, this is part of what I like about Lemmy as a website and community. Any space that genuinely meaningfully cares about free speech is going to have extremists. Lemmy is no exception. This website/community has people on the far left with whom I firmly disagree. Some of these people I consider dangerously out of touch with reality. But generally speaking they don’t want to just fucking kill me. There is literally nothing I can do to make a right wing extremist not want to kill me. It’s common and widespread on most social media. Left wing extremists very rarely just want to purge me for homogeny. Any political system or government or country can collapse into fascism and start purging minorities in pursuit of homogeny, but my experience is that homogeny is a common goal and desire across the right wing spectrum, but only a fringe aspect of the left. A “tankie” may hate me for what I believe and do, but that’s better than a “nazi” who hates me just for being. And that is a compromise I’m willing to make to maintain and participate in a low censorship environment.

I promise that it is so, so much easier to make connections as yourself. I was much the same as you. I was very isolated as a child and taught nothing good about engaging with people and the world. I didn’t have real friends for more than a decade. Now that I just get to live as myself, people love me. I have genuine friends I can trust and count on. People like me quickly where they used to kinda come around to me slowly and keep me at a distance. Changing yourself changes your world. Just go be yourself with confidence. People like yourself and who like you will be drawn to you.

Yeah, don’t waste time and energy on people who don’t support you given ample time and opportunity, family or otherwise. All the people in my life who only know the real me are fucking amazing. Dedicate your energy to making new connections. Spend time with people who only know one version of you and want to spend time with that person. They’re out there. You are loved, in both action and potential <3

Personally I think the effects of different strains are little more than minimal to a complete placebo

So this is a complicated subject. On the one hand, I could pick you out two specific flowers from a dispensary that would be undeniably different in effects. On the other hand, I could find two poorly grown versions of the same “strains” that are so low on terps and minor cannabinoids that the difference would be negligible. Unique combinations of terpenes and cannibinoids definitely produce unique effects, but lots of cheap weed is so low in everything but THC that few people could tell them apart in effect.

You should try something with CBG. If you have Grön where you are, they have some good CBG options. I haven’t used it for creative purposes, but CBG certainly keeps me up and alert and bright at work.

She’s one of my favorites. We’re kind of internet friends. She’s cool as shit, makes custom spooky country western clothing for herself.
