A lot of germany has deposits actually, so an extra 25-50 cents on top for cans and glass bottles

!! Congrats! Hope you get what you want soon

Proposal: have a shorter way to write “global time” (or you could have, say, 4 quarter-global times), the same way we have C, F and K for temperature, then make that a more common way of communicating time.

Yeah UTC kinda does that but nobody uses it like that. Shorten it to U and it’s much punchier. Also abolish daylight savings, too confusing.

If you don’t wanna bias to europeans too much, use the international date line.

It is really weird to suddenly have emotions and to be like, affected by the world around you suddenly X)

Lmfao samee, I getcha. I had nothing against my skin before, but it was never comfy. I didn’t even realize it because it was just normal, and when it felt worse it felt like it just needed a shower (where I incidentally rubbed my skin raw. Which I didn’t even process as probably-not-great).

The body is a hodge-podge of Rube Goldberg machines, and trans research is wayy underdeveloped. Method of delivery and absorbancy and a billion other things probably affect the effects.

Out of curiosity, the skin changes were a huge boon to me (one that I didn’t expect to be so nice), so there’s a world where it was partially psychological. Was body odor a big dysphoria source for you?

Yeah, in my little experience basically all of the effects of hormones are “in general” at best, both in timeline and actual effects.

Personally my libido went up a little but unlike OOP it was very much present before too.

Meanwhile the skin softening stuff took a week or so to be noticeable, when it definitely “should” take longer.

Well, in the first bit of the Hitchhiker’s guide, there’s:

“You’d better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It’s unpleasantly like being drunk.”

“What’s so unpleasant about being drunk?”

“You ask a glass of water.”

Which does fit, even if it’s not necessarily a “well-known phrase”

Weird flirting would have been my guess

Or even just a bad attempt at small talk
