there is no such shift

it’s not “you disgust me” -> “I wanted a normal family”

it’s “I wanted a normal family and you disgust me”

What’s the context?

Some unscheduled out of spec combustion at the local refinery?

Male Pattern Baldness is driven by DHT. If your testosterone is sufficiently suppressed by HRT then banding should completely stop progressing and most likely start reversing to a limited extent.

I think androgen receptor blockers like Bicalutamide might be ineffective in that regard though, and you’d have to add finasteride/dutasteride to block DHT conversion. Someone with more knowledge would have to chime in. Personally I’m doing monotherapy.

If you’re balding for other reasons, then HRT will most likely not stop it and you should investigate the underlying medical issue.

That said it’s perfectly normal to lose a bunch of hair when brushing or in the shower. Hair continuously falls out and regrows. It should only be concerning when that amount suddenly increases a lot.

If Tuapse is any indication it would seem that they are changing their approach.

Instead of causing a bit of damage to every refinery within range they’re trying to completely obliterate them one at a time.

We’ll see I guess.

“what air defense doing” indeed

the number of intact tank clusters suggests there will be at least a fourth and fifth attack.

That’s what I noticed first. Then I had my first ugly crying for the first time in like 20 years. Was really upset and cried for half an hour.

Then I noticed how when I watch something really funny I have a strong physical reaction, not just laughing.

And recently I was watching the Tom Scott video where he went paragliding and at some point noticed that my mouth was wide open in awe. I closed it and after a few minutes noticed it was open again.

Honestly, this alone made HRT more than worth it for me.

Like, it’s like I’m no longer just observing life, I’m actually experiencing it.

They know the war is senseless. They know Russia is not defending itself.

Most of the ones who do go to war do it for money. So they know they’re not dying for a noble cause.

I’m not debating who the aggressor is or who started the war. It’s not relevant to this situation.

It is extremely relevant to the situation.

The soldiers on one side die pointless deaths for their leader’s vanity. If you tell them they’ll die if they join it’s a deterrent, because they can stay home and be safe.

The soldiers on the other side die protecting their home and their people. If you tell them they’ll die if they join it’s not a deterrent, because they’ll die if nobody joins as well.

HRT already takes years to do its thing. The idea of having to wait several years to even start seems crazy to me.

Where I am the wait through the public system would have been like half a year, and 2-3 months privately for lots of money. Didn’t feel like waiting for either…
