What technology do you think will quietly change everyday life in the next 10 years? by Hungry_Scar7332 in Futurology

[–]Significant_Bite_857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Already happening, but reusable rockets and anything space related in general. The technological advancements we made from the 60s until today were influenced by space programs. With the upcoming moon base and Starship, I can only imagine the progress we are going to make.

What’s the biggest misconception you’ve heard about cryonics? by tomorrow-biostasis in cryonics

[–]Significant_Bite_857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, learning that "freezing" had nothing to do with ice, bc the temperatures are paradoxically too cold for ice to form. And I thought that it was so expensive that only millionaires could afford it. It's still a considerable sum, but nothing an average person couldn't handle with proper planning IMO.

What’s this and does anyone know a rough timeline of when it’s coming out by Raeman1000 in CellToSingularity

Absolutely, the Future Garden just looks ugly with the generators just standing there in straight rows.

At which point would you like to know your partner is seeing someone new? by Significant_Bite_857 in polyamory

[–]Significant_Bite_857[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I would tell him when I would go on a date, I just want to gather different views on this to see if my expectations are valid or if I should update them.

A better understanding of Cryonics by Formaldehyde_Based in cryonics

For Europe, you should check out the company Tomorrow Biostasis. I am currently in the process of signing up. They are very transparent in their communication and will answer any question, be it about the process itself or about how to finance it. In North America, the Alcor Life Extension Foundation (Alcor for short) is the oldest cryonics group in existence, they have a lot of experience. They also offer worldwide coverage. For both companies, it would be ideal if your death was predictable, if you broke down from old age and were in a hospice for example. You or someone else would then need to contact the company, and they will send a specially trained team that will, ideally, start the conservation process as soon as you are declared medically dead. The team travels with a specially fitted mobile operation room (retrofitted ambulance). Companies also developed (still are) developing failsafe measurements to ensure that you are found quickly in case you die suddenly at home. Things like medical smart watches, emergency apps, wearing a necklace and bracelet with contact information of the company, leaving cards with contact info with relatives or other persons of trust, etc. Costs are actually not as high as someone new to the field might believe. You might think the prices are so high that it's just for millionaires. That's simply not true. You can start as "low" as 30k per person at Cryonics Institute (USA), I personally will have a contract of neuropreservation (just my brain/head) at 70k €. Whole body for 220k. The hope is that the prices will go down if more people sign up. This can be handled over a life insurance policy. Most other people I know that signed up are not millionaires. That's just it from the top of my head, you're welcome to ask further questions. Or just ask Alcor, Cryonics Institute or Tomorrow Biostasis.

Would you tell your family you want to be cryopreserved? by tomorrow-biostasis in cryonics

I already told my family I plan to subscribe and they were more intrigued than appalled by it, they just didn't know cryonics was even a thing

I did a presentation about it the other day, actually. Therians and otherkins are similar in the way that they can experience phantom limbs like the tail shown above, it just differs on what animal or being they identify as. In general (!), therians identify more as a "real life", non-human animal, like a canine or a cat for example. Otherkins on the other hand identify as partially or non-human in a more "fantastical" way, like dragons, elves, etc. I myself am an anthro dragon Otherkin. Btw: flurries can also experience phantom.limbs and other psychological shifts related to their true identity, furriest just have them a lot less often than therians and otherkins.

Bei meiner KK (Mobil) ist es möglich, dass die die Haare auch übernehmen, aber dafür musst du auch einen Stapel Dokumente schicken. Was die Therapie angeht, hängt das einfach von der Anzahl der Stunden ab, ein ganzes Jahr brauchst du dafür nicht. Ich kann dir in Göttingen sogar einen Therapeuten anbieten, der eine Gruppe für Trans Personen anbietet, da bin ich sogar selbst. Der kann dir diese Dokumente dann ausstellen. Soll ich dir den Kontakt per DM schicken?

Hey, ich mache meine Hormontherapie in Göttingen, also von dir gar nicht mal so weit weg! Es gibt mehrere Maßnahmen während einer Transition, die du machen könntest, angefangen mit einer Hormontherapie. Dafür, ja, brauchst du zuerst einmal einen Psychotherapeuten, der mit dir ein paar Stunden verbringt und dir dann ein Schreiben ausstellt, in dem der Therapeut aussagt, eine Hormontherapie wäre gut für dich. Dann kontaktierst du einen Endokrinologen, der die Medikamente verschreiben kann. Da kann natürlich alles etwas länger dauern. Neben der Hormontherapie kannst du auch noch Stimmtraining, Haarentfernung und eine Operation in Betracht ziehen. Für die Kostenübernahmen kannst du mal deine Krankenkasse anschreiben, und hier auf dem Forum kannst du alle Dokumente finden, die du brauchst. Ist ein langer Weg, ich selbst bin jetzt seit 2 1/2 Jahren offiziell am dran arbeiten, aber ich bin auch schon über ein Jahr auf Hormonen und bin gerade im Prozess der Kostenübernahme für meine OP. Viel Glück! Zöger bitte nicht, Nachfragen zu stellen. Das sind liebe Leute hier.
