We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched
Like there is nothing sexier hthan this
Canโt wait for OP to get scurvy
Are you under the impression that the ships themselves are what caused scurvy
Once again. Do you think this is the fault of the ships themselves

i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.
on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.
someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please
seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises itโs about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors
I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me
Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.

I finally switched to firefox and I've seen a lot of posts about the effortless importing of preferences from chrome and how it's important to support non-chromium platforms, but nobody is talking about the loss of productivity that happens when beautiful women come to your house to kiss you on the mouth because they heard you use firefox now. nobody's talking about this
This is going to be a really half baked thought but
I feel like any attempt to break down the effects of HRT into a snappy, bulleted list of distinct "this exact thing will change" type effects, will ultimately always end up as an underexaggeration
There's not a great way to counter this, so I understand why it happens. But, for example, if the primary way you're explaining transfemme HRT is "breast growth and some fat redistribution", as opposed to "all new tissues formed by my body are now in a female configuration, and I have to wait for my body's natural turnover rate to slowly get rid of the old male tissue, and my body is therefore being completely restructured because of it", that first version is always going to sound like an understatement to me.
But of course, that second explanation is mostly useless, practically, as it doesn't set distinct expectations well.
If the person you're talking to is willing to sit through a longer explanation, then I've found the second one can be a useful starting point. It provides a framework to conceptualize all changes on HRT, and you can give the biggest examples of what does or "doesn't " change based on the turnover rate.
Eg:
Fat: high turnover rate. Will therefore cause noticeable changes to appearance quickly.
Muscle. High turnover rate, see above.
Cartilage: slow ish but noticeable turnover rate. Changes, but over a longer period of time.
Bone: technically can change based on preliminary evidence, but very slow turnover rate, so that's on the scale of decades and aging gets in the way.
Genitalia: there actually are a lot of changes to the soft surrounding tissue of genitalia (for both transmacs and transfemmes) but a few core structural features are obviously much slower to change. Preliminary research shows that trans differentiation of primary sex tissue is possible, but most likely not at a rate that's practically relevant. Yet.
Breast tissue: a new tissue that doesn't need anything to make way for it! Which therefore goes through rapid "growth spurt" stages, growing fast while it's being added, but plateaus while not in one of those spurts.
And of course this doesn't cover EVERYTHING in the body, but with a couple of examples, you've created a framework to think about HRT that's more accurate than just "take pill that has a short list of effects".
be responsible? with my money?? I'm gonna spend it ALL on thigh highs and skirts and eyeliner an-
