NFTs
Not that this really applies to anyone here, but if you really want to pay thousands for an avatar that "belongs to you", give me that money (trust me, I could use it) and I will draw you a custom, from scratch avatar (no procedural generation here, actual custom) and get fancy paperwork made certifying that it belongs to you. All without the waste that would come with an NFT. And, again, you'll get a proper custom avatar! Everybody wins!
Re: Gender (-)
Found this in my pictures folder and, yeah. It's basically the situation I'm in once more. Oof.
Gender (-)
Mind you, this isn't to say I'm not transitioning or that I regret anything or anything like that. I'm still trans, I just don't think HRT is necessarily a helpful part of my transition. Being a trans enby is a bit weird like that. And I don't regret starting down this path, any more so than I regret the majors I've tried. (Less, if anything. HRT hasn't left me with US$20,000 in debt.)

I think may discontinue HRT. Thinking about my goals and what I want, I'm realizing HRT may not be the right path. Like, I'm genderfluid stuck between wanting to be a butch transbian and a femboy and, ironically, HRT helps with none of what I want out of either. Not gonna make any big decisions now right before bed, but I probably won't take my hormones tonight. I got some thinking to do...
We should make it a rule that corporations should be banned from queerwashing their brands for just one month unless they donate at least 5% of their CEO's total earnings, after tax, to LGBT advocacy groups.
Either CEOs are on our side all year 'round, or they prove their integrity by putting money where their mouths are.
Re:Dave Chappele
Also, and this applies to all comedians. If you have to punch down to make a joke, you're unfunny and don't deserve a career in comedy.
Come back when you find better material.
Dave Chappele
Reminder that DC has a wide platform, plenty of wealth and cultural sway, and he's using it to punch down on minorities struggling to exist, while painting himself as such a victim for being harshly criticized for his "jokes"
People can argue all they want about how he's trying to be better about the issues, but I am not obliged to give him the benefit of the doubt while he galvanized a genocidal anti-trans hate group. He's also not entitled to our viewership.
we're not feeling great so we're having a shorter stream later than usual tonight, but let's check a look at some turn-of-the-millennium mac os x stuff without much expectations

Re: all that stuff from earlier
Well, I'm still feeling hopeless, but at least I'm not angry and ready to kill myself anymore. Thanks sudoku (and Simon, from Cracking the Cryptic, in particular)!

Sorry if I'm annoying you with all this, by the way. I need a void to scream all this into, and this seemed like as good a place as any.

UTA claims to be a "community that cares". I wonder how true that is. You think if I emailed a suicide threat to them that they'd actually try to help with my financial situation or would they just try to shove me into inpatient, thus putting me in even more medical debt? What little money I have left is on the latter.

I'm starting to see where those people who blame depression on capitalism are coming from. You're right, capitalism is making me want to kill myself and the $100 worth of psychiatric meds on my nightstand has only made that worse. Now how about you go do something about that instead of just stating the obvious.
Money/pol nihilism, sui/mh (-)
I guess if I kill myself using the meds it won't have been a complete waste.
