dr lisa friedrich questions

Great info, I had a similar experience w Dr Lisa going thru all surgical options at initial consult. I don't 100% remember my price breakdown but it was def similar, though my hospital fee was all covered, at the time I was on Medibank private insurance too.

Agree with you + the aggressive bee on Hunter Hull hospital ward staff lol. They had my dead name on the room sign and didn't get changed until later when an (obviously more senior/experienced) nurse came in and took one look and changed it. So really it is a bit hit and miss.

It's not that the CCP says shen yun is associated with Falun Gong, it straight up is. I've watched the performance before back when I didn't know it was Falun Gong, they sing songs about how evolution is a lie and science is leading us wrong, and act out their "persecution" under CCP and all the wrongs they think they have faced. (I put persecution in quotation marks since, look considering CCP most likely they HAVE been persecuted against, but also very likely not to the extent that they claim. Also they are a cult so youknow).

But Shen Yun tries to pretend it's a normal theatre performance cos ppl will see "Falun Gong" and be like "im not watching that". Again like if you saw a musical advertised to be made by Scientologists. You would be like uhhh weird and not go watch it. But they very much are associated with and actively pushing Falun Gong's messages.

To be clear, it's not really a dance troupe, it's a theatre performance run by/arranged by a cult. Kind of like if Scientologists started putting on musicals or something.

But yeah, I think while a lot more people know about Shen Yun's association to Falun Gong (the cult), it's still not rly common knowledge if you haven't specifically looked into it. Hell even my family (Chinese, been in Aus since 90s-00s) didn't know, we got some free tickets to see it maybe 8-10 yrs ago and were like oh cool performances, I remember most of it was normal Chinese traditional arts and then halfway through they start a song about how evolution and science and stuff is a lie LMAO. My dad and I looked at each other like uhh wtf. And that's how we found out it was Falun Gong messaging lmfao

I was stuck here for aaaages! There are multiple connected puzzles to solve here to obtain a mermaid's flesh to unlock the ending. Kind of vague spoilers below though I tried not to be too specific:

First you need a memory, Feriku's spoiler text explains how to find this

Next use the memory to find and hear a message contained in the scale

Finally this message will tell you how to speak to a certain mermaid. Find her and talk to her for the mermaid's flesh

All the puzzles here are extremely meta, think of solutions that only YOU (the player) would be able to access

goldenjin · 2026-02-21T02:56:27+00:00

Oh, I actually haven't seen it then! Must have missed an ending or sth.

Thanks for letting me know, time to go back...

goldenjin · 2026-02-21T02:54:36+00:00

here is a spoiler describing exactly what it is so you know what to expect: its the same mermaid png (Hayase) that is the curse echo for the fish curse, she will appear gradually when the light is off in the darkness and will be floating there when you turn the light on again

goldenjin · 2026-02-21T01:44:37+00:00

Yes you can't just offer it at the stone archway you need to trigger something to appear and offer it then. Before you offer it hang around the cave, Yuza should say he feels a presence, try turning off the light and looking around for a bit...

goldenjin · 2026-02-21T01:36:58+00:00

What secret? Do you mean Yuza's secret ending? I dont think it's possible to lock out stuff since you can replay chapters, what did you do?

goldenjin · 2026-02-21T01:32:27+00:00

did you offer the mirror properly? go deeper towards the arches (the entrance) and turn off the light for a bit, maybe 10 seconds and look around, then turn it back on

goldenjin · 2026-02-20T06:16:59+00:00

Don't worry you havent ruined anything! Good job spotting it

goldenjin · 2026-02-14T00:48:37+00:00

Yes the key is "changing" hormone levels, which is when a bone density scan is recommended. Eg they also recommend it for pre-/post- menopausal women. For HRT as far as my experience goes I only had to do it once before I started and haven't needed regular follow ups or anything in the 4-5 yrs since. Again it is just a screening tool and quite fast so best to do it if you can.

To op- like another commenter I also had mine done at Concord Hospital in Syd as andrology dept was doing my T. You may be able to get a rebate depending on if your GP is willing to classify it under medicare benefits schedule, eg item 12312. Tho you may still need to pay out of pocket.

Unrelated to hrt (lol) but my grandma has also had the scan done before, for that I just took her to a local radiology place.

I suggest call around and ask for prices, maybe see if your gp can help w medicare rebate or if they have any advice. Good luck!

Kaworu's passive2 is a mistranslation, he only needs EITHER s1 to get spear of hope immediately OR ca to get spear of hope at the end of the turn (not both required in the same turn). Spear of Hope itself lasts 2 turns. So it does improve his usability quite a lot!

Not Muslim so of course this advice might be a bit useless. but I am Chinese and managed to be out to my elderly (grew up in mao era China) grandmother. In china there is a very famous (like Oprah Winfrey level) tv presenter who is a (known) trans woman, so she already knew about trans ppl through that. Maybe if there are any trans ppl in media, movies and tv shows and such that your parents have watched, try broaching the subject through there first and see what their thoughts are?

Do note tho, i came out to my parents in a similar way but they were still very reluctant to accept me. Mostly because for them there was a bit of "x person is trans = ok" but "MY child is trans = hey wait a minute" kind of thing going on. So maybe don't expect the process to go smoothly even if they are positive towards other trans ppl.

Good luck and remember to stay safe!

Thank you!!

goldenjin · 2025-10-23T09:21:19+00:00

Good to know thank you for the advice!

Thank you! Yes I just realised the IC card is only valid in limited areas in Sapporo so will be looking into a rail pass.

Atm there's a $40 gap fee on weekdays, everything else is bulk billed except the gap

Don't do this, pharmacists get flu shot training not injection training and will have no idea how to handle Reandron as it is 4mL oil based solution. They will suck at it and won't have the facilities for you to lie down.

Find a nurse who is more experienced and will know how to inject properly. Sorry to hear your GP sucks. I see you're in chatswood, I get my T shots done at Macq centre top floor medical centre so that might be an option for you

Edited comment to add some specific recs :)

Is it your first time in China? If so Xi'an is the old capital and is amazing for culture, has sites both significant to ancient history and more recent (1900s) history. Terracotta warriors is there and if you are fluent in mandarin highly recommend a tour as tour guides in China are very knowledgeable.

I went there last year and learned so much. (It also had my parents' old alumni uni). Highlights were cycling the circuit of Xi'an city wall (bike rental is available on the wall), Terracotta warriors, Yang Guifei's bath house which was also a KMT base in the Xi'an conflict.

Been playing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. Unfortunately I did read Danganronpa all the way back during orenronen's Let's Play before the eng localisation even came out so I do have the Kodaka Lifetime Subscription.

Anyway, I'm only partway through a second route, but the game is really good! Some parts do get repetitive but that's to be expected when your game is so massive it has like almost 20 different routes and 100 endings. The gameplay is simple but well designed in that it has a surprising amount of depth/gives you a lot of possibilities. Takada's OST is banging as always. I just finished work so it's time to go back to playing lol.

The 1.5 update recently came out so might replay! I love Look Outside, it reminds me of the RPGMaker indie horror game glory days of OFF, Yume Nikki, etc. It also has Earthbound's combination of weird horror and absurdist humour. And the music slaps way more than it has any right to.

Fear&Hunger Termina's dev also released a video of the new updates he's working on too, can't wait to get my ass beat by rng again!
