I just painted it with nail polish. Not longer soft, but at least not sticky and you can use different colours, paint on some designs, glitter or plain boring clear polish.

Haven’t dared do it for movable parts, especially not ones that go into any unreachable mechanical areas, in case the movement makes it flaky in time. But as long as you can open and clean it out it might be worth a try.

I 100% agree with it feeling invasive when people look at my screen, even if I never have anything to hide!

I know it’s sort of irrational so I try to ignore it, or if it gets to bothersome I do something small to reclaim a sense of control: like turning one selected screen towards them when showing what I’m working on to guide where they look instead of staring at my whole setup, or getting real quick with the alt+tab to go to whatever open program I decide it’s OK for them to look at while we talk.

I said that if I felt comfortable, I would tell him myself.

How often do you tell him that stuff without being asked? If you shared more frequently perhaps people would ask less?

Grow it out and add a toupé, and you’re set.

The real sleep experts are the ones conducting the tests. Call them and ask. They may consider 10am just a late breakfast, or they may adjust the expected results a couple of hours or points or whatever. Either way it’s better to know than to worry, and possibly recieve unreliable results.

It’s best to be honest when it comes to medical care and operating heavy equipment.

Music. It’s mind-altering and mood-altering.

Regarding fairly dangerous sports like snowboarding, downhill skiing, BMX, skateboard, unharnessed climbing etc: I (almost) never do the “one last run”, and those are famously the ones you get injured on. When you are tired and it’s time to go home and rest, I go home and rest instead of doing “just one more” and getting hurt.

I’ve still injured myself but not nearly as much as I might have if I had pushed myself beyond the tiredness. It’s hard to prove the injuries you haven’t sustained though…

There are two replies earlier in the thread I think are for you:

I think you can be likeable or unlikeable with either of those traits. You can tell someone loudly in a group setting that they stink, or you can discreetly before they even go out remind them to put on deodorant. Your honesty doesn’t impact your likeability, it’s how you apply it. Same with sociopathy.

They were talking about fascist. You’re the one who took it personally.

Making up names like Ann, Ana, Anna, Annie, Anita, Juanita, Juliana, Julia, Jessica, Jessie, Jess, Jen, Jenny, Jennifer…

Well done. That’s really funny!

Yes, they do. The rules are just different from yours.

They’re saying it’s a matter of perspective. From a German speaking perspective, if you used your “proper” capitalisation it would be lacking according to their “proper” capitalisation. Example:

I can only laugh about it, Upper and Lower case in the english Language is a good Joke.

That true, but the OP said bisalp which, unless I mistranslated, doesn’t remove the ovaries.

And I generally interpret “sterilisation” to mean tubal for the following reasons: When removing ovaries or uterus the main reason isn’t usually sterilisation, that’s more like a side effect. If the main reason is preventing cancer and the chosen method for that is hysterectomy, it would also have a sterilisation effect, but I wouldn’t call the operation a “sterilisation” because that isn’t the point of it, you know? And if the point is to do a sterilisation you wouldn’t usually go for a hysterectomy, because tubal interventions have much easier operations and much fewer side effects.

I was “denied” sterilisation first attempt and talked into IUD, but the second attempt five years later I got one. They tried to sell me on IUD again but a thing I learned during that time was to stand up for myself and insist on receiving the care and treatments I want, so it’s possible I could have insisted on it the first time around as well.

It’s also possible I had an easier time getting through to them simply because I had listened to their advice the first time around and still wasn’t content with it after five years, and I had turned over 26 years old.

A hormonal IUD or implant in your arm can help with gender dysphoria in two ways: prevent pregnancy AND prevent menstruation (if one doesn’t work for bleeding the other likely will).

The IUD can be rough to put in and remove as its a gynecological, which can be both dysphoric and very painful (if you can get sedated or nitrous gas for it I highly recommend it!), but it only needs replacing every five years (can be removed/replaced during sterilisation or similar surgeries) and you shouldn’t feel it’s there at all, so no dysphoria trigger once it’s in.

The arm implant is easier to insert as it’s a doctor visit with no nudity required, but with a BIG fucking needle, and you need to replace it more frequently, and you can see it move and feel where it is when you touch the skin on your bicep. It’s still not directly connected to genitalia so hopefully wouldn’t trigger dysphoria every time you notice it, but that’s a personal case.

It may be possible you can insist and get sterilised even at a young age. But if you are not already on hormones that prevent menstruation, the IUD or implant might even be a better option for you as it does two thing at once, and you don’t have to remember a daily pill. I went back to IUD some years after sterilisation just to get rid of my periods, as sterilisation doesn’t affect menstruation at all.

I cant think of any examples myself, but if you’ve only seen the project hail mary-movie, I’ve got great news for you!

The hens I’ve met abandons most of their eggs, for most of the year. If the hen abandons the egg, it won’t grow or hatch regardless of fertilization, so as long as you only take the abandoned eggs, a rooster makes no difference in the ethics of eating those eggs.

The difference is that what I’ve heard a flock usually does better and feels better with a rooster (this may be propaganda from Big Rooster), and if you don’t interrupt the nesting process (I dont know the English word for it, when the hen lays on the eggs until they hatch?), you’ll keep putting more of the birds into the world which may not be ethical according to the person.

So positives and negatives, but no difference in the abandoned eggs.
