I mean this isn't how government is supposed to work, but, here we are, with an unelected idiot handing pink slips to every government agency under the sun that doesn't stroke his ego.

I feel for the remaining members of the NIH who have been told in no uncertain terms "Find or fabricate evidence that aligns with our anti-trans stance or start looking elsewhere for employment."

If the bar lets Nazis in, it's a Nazi bar. Good on them for refusing to be a Nazi bar.

I'm 32 years old and at about a 5 on the Norwood scale and I started taking minoxidil and finasteride, and reaching out to Planned Parenthood to talk about getting on E, all because I saw pictures of people who were older and balder than me when they started transitioning and they're beautiful.

There is still time.

I don't actually know that I am yet, but I've spent the last decade or so sort of dissociating. I never really liked looking in the mirror, I just see a ghost staring back at me, and I think I would like to look less manly, even if that doesn't necessarily mean like a woman. I joined an LGBTQ+ community and started trying some different gender expressions recently. I bought a skirt and some long socks, I started shaving all my body hair, I've thought about different names. Not a lot of it's stuck, but I do like the way my skin feels shaven. I just still feel like a kind of dumpy mid-30s balding white guy though. I don't even think I look particularly bad objectively, but I do know I personally don't like the way I look now. A friend of mine started drawing a mid-30s tech worker bunny boy who turned himself into a long-haired raver with a fat ass after I started talking about it and now I'm trying minoxidil and I'm hoping to get on Finasteride and maybe E soon, I'm hoping it'll give me nicer hips and a butt, and if I happen to grow (bigger) breasts, well, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Maybe I'll like them, and worst case I can always bind or get a mastectomy.

The more I talk about it, the more I realize the things I say are very eggy, but I don't know if that's actually what it is. Like, I just want to have hair again and feel cute and, for lack of a better term, fuckable, instead of constantly comparing myself to the guy with no life from South Park. I guess we'll see where this goes.

You don't look like a hag. You look like my cool aunt Lisa.

I mean, there's a number of reasons that might be the case, not the least of which being it's a group activity, which is really beneficial for social creatures like humans.

I mean, let's not pretend Ford was paying his employees well and setting workweek standards because it was the right thing to do either - he did it because he wanted to retain productive employees and also to make them customers, and that it happened to actually be beneficial for them and the working world at large is a byproduct. Not often mentioned with that $5 workday is the fact that he would send agents to employees' homes to ensure they were being kept clean and that the employees themselves weren't drinking.

A group of friends uses "based and budfilled" mostly sarcastically.
