Thank you for your overtime

-- depressed trans girl

Anyway, idk how thats related to being trans, aside from that im trans.

Besides all that I have some friends who are nice, they keep me sane. Gonna hopefully expand my social circle a bit this week, but might crash out at the last second cause of the aforementioned brain not working right.

I hope everyone else is having a better time of things. Sorry for bringing everything down 😓

I dont have much to say about the question in the title, but i really appreciate the Tjen Folket article, its very interesting to read.

Hear me out, a distributed dating app, so that everything happens without needing a server.

Assume 1gb of free storage per device, distribute gzipped text-only profiles such that any given profile is constantly "on the network" (i.e. distributed via someone elses device if youre no longer connected, idk like distribute to 20 random devices, and then redistribute if the number of active devices drops below 5?), but have images hosted from your device so theyre only available if your device is currently connected. Have everyone set a "home location point" to avoid distributing via a device thats across an ocean or something.

Basically, by using the app you're contributing processing power to run the network. Idk ive never done or looked at anything like that before, but it sounded cool in my head. Plus text only profiles take so little space, you could store a lot of them in 1gb, especially if theyre like gzipped tarballs or something similar.

Messages could be peer to peer. If someone messages you or likes you or matches with you, it forwards that info to your device or stores it on one or more devices in order to forward it once youre back on the network.

Goal is to remove any profit motive from the app, so users instead of paying money pay with device processing power.

Ok random thought over now. Ive never done distributed systems before so its probably a pipe dream or something impractical.

Oh nono no need to apologize! Spontenaity is important to have!

Ughhhh why do I always see these way to late to join :( gotta be even more online i guess

2024 is gonna be a banger, I can feel it in my lobes.

Good thing someone developed a new type of woman that has fewer side effects. Many doctors still perscribe the old type of woman, but some will perscribe the new type if you ask nicely.

Im ~~not~~ a Smart Fucker™ but to me this is all in the purpose of HRT; one takes a medication for its effect(s). Effects besides the main or intended effect(s) are therefore side effects. So to me it depends on the philisophical view of HRT that the specific trans woman or transfemme person has. E.g. I view HRT as giving my body what it needs in a holistic manner. To me, the period symptoms are a part of that. A frustrating part to be sure (i just had a couple days of possible hypomania followed by some days of intense mood swings, and idk if its a mental health thing or not because it landed at the perfect point in my cycle), but a part nonetheless. But for someone who views it differently, they may very well see the period symptoms as side effects because they are undesireable and not their intent for the medication.

Hopefully one of those Smart Fuckers will chime in, Im curious what others think about this.

Do we know if those genes come from the mothers side or the fathers side (or just mix n match), genetically? Cause my mamas side has a bunch of fairly small breasted women, and my fathers side is the opposite. Really hoping its like male pattern baldness where it affects men and people producing DHT, but comes from the mothers side. Come on dad, do something actually helpful for once and give me giant titties
