All this reminds me of is that video of that guy who's friend "upgraded" his shower pressure. And it was just one hyper-powerful stream out of the whole shower head. Wish I had a link.

reading this thread I'm glad I'm a removed in a relationship. my spouse is the best. i got so fucking lucky.

there's a massive epidemic of loneliness out there. the loss of the free/cheap third spaces, lockdowns, and social media have made a fucking shitstorm. I'm scared for the generations below me just starting to enter the workforce. so many kids just unable to function properly.

i can't solve it. but I've been putting my devices down more and (trying) to get out more. get more sunlight and fresh air, even if i just sit outside and watch the ducks. it's hard out there. give yourself a break, okay? eat a snack and take a walk.

The prices plus the fact the "physical" games are just download codes (cartridges are not preloaded) really killed the hype for me. I was excited for the new Mario Kart. But $90 for a physical download code after the lackluster, unfinished feeling main titles (Animal Crossing especially) on the Switch has me kind of disgusted. The game "upgrades" also are a bummer. Mario Party Jamboree, while fun, also feels unfinished. A lot of Nintendo's newer games do, save for Zelda.

I just hope Tomodachii 2 is available on Switch 1. If it's not I'm just going to have to wait for a rip.

Yup pretty much. It's... complicated if you really dive into it. I'm saying this as a trans person - there are biological differences between people. In literally everyone, though - it's not just a sex thing. No two males, females, intersex, or otherwise are alike biologically. Everyone's biological stats are different. Even twins are different.

These categories exist in science to easily communicate basic ideas based on medical observations. But once you get to the nitty-gritty of a person's personal medical history it's really hard to categorize certain things. You can have "true" females with more male hormones than "true" males and vice-versa. You can be born without any sex organs and still develop into an adult.

Bodies are weird. Medical science is very complicated and interesting. We really don't know what we're doing still or how a lot of our biology operates. Can you attribute someone's sports prowess to their hormones? Maybe? I don't know. I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things. I think someone's determination to do something is a bigger indicator of how well they'll do in the end.

Nothing's certain in science. Disproving something is easy. Proving things is a lot harder lol.
