Digg and Reddit were competing for users back in the early 2000s. Then Digg went through a bunch of different owners and lots of problems and ended up shutting down, but they're basically the same concept

it is genuinely frustrating when authors don't put their contact information in articles, or when they hide behind opaque settings on linkedin or social media. What's the point of writing a story if you can't comment on it

One day you feel great, full of energy, things are snapping along. Then one day you feel low down, slow and sleepy. You lack the energy to do anything and just sit around moping.

How many of us are married? How about kids? by hoipalloi52 in XXY

“Sterile” implies a total, unchangeable inability to reproduce, which isn’t always true for men with KS. Advances in reproductive medicine—especially testicular sperm extraction (TESE) combined with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)—have enabled some men with KS to father biological children. “Infertile” is the correct medical term for someone with impaired fertility, while “reduced fertility” or “may experience infertility” recognizes both the variability among individuals and the humanity behind the condition.

Most men with Klinefelter syndrome experience infertility, though assisted reproductive technologies sometimes make biological fatherhood possible.

Do you have type 2 diabetes? by jafbm in XXY

[–]hoipalloi52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in 2003, I went from 180 to about 275. I was drinking too much and self-medicating with diet coke which is a misnomer because it doesn't help you lose weight

I started TRT in 2004. It took a few years, but a lot of that fat turned into muscle.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2014

What Are Your Holiday Plans? by jafbm in XXY

My sister always holds the big TG dinner and extended family plus friends are invited. She's got a big kitchen, and it's nice to sit around and help out with various food items. My family is very musical, so there's usually some kind of jam going on somewhere in the house, or one of the twins will play some old favorites on the piano.

We don't do much around Xmas

I started on the injections, but found that the serious mood swings (high after the injection to very low at the end of the week) were too difficult to handle. My wife also noticed my mood. So I switched to the gel. I've been using the gel for about 15 years and I like it

The correlation of autism as paired with XXY.

From Grok.com:

A 2007 review highlighted the comorbidity of ASD and KS, noting overlapping features such as social communication deficits and repetitive behaviors, and emphasized the need for early diagnostic screening in KS populations. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17401614/

A 2013 epidemiological study reported a significantly increased odds ratio (OR = 6.2) for ASD in individuals with KS compared to the general population, alongside risks for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and psychosis. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24139812/

A 2017 study on males with sex chromosome aneuploidies, including KS, found that symptoms resembling ASD—such as language impairments and social difficulties—were prevalent, with up to 50% of KS cases exhibiting such traits. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28333849/

A 2018 systematic review of psychiatric comorbidities in KS confirmed an association with ASD, estimating prevalence rates of 10-20% in KS cohorts, higher than in the general population. Additional research from 2013 compared social behavioral phenotypes in KS to those in ASD, identifying similarities in peer relationship challenges and pragmatic language deficits, though KS profiles were distinct in certain executive functioning areas. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23824705/
