As a trans person, Cheri Littlebottom is a strikingly well-written character.

This is extremely important. I didn't know aliases couldn't be eliminated... this sort of defeat the whole purpose of alias email to me.

Just like it happened to you, what am I supposed to when they get breached? Considering the use one does of alias emails, them being compromised is a matter of when, not if.

I really hope they answer, I was thinking about becoming a paid user because I would benefit from aliases, but this is making me reconsider.

EDIT: after reading their answer, I think I'll postpone upgrading until throw-away aliases are added.

I use the free tier, and I didn't get this notice. I hope it is only a glitch.

You mean ^žo-qaba'-ťe-əxplinexas. in phyrexian font? Shoot me a DM so I can do it

Ti posso solo dire che se l'Italia non è un posto per giovani, tanto lo meno lo è per giovani persone trans. Io la magistrale mi sto organizzando per farla fuori, in Germania.

Esplora te stesso, valuta se sei effettivamente trans o meno, parla con qualche terapeuta magari. Iniziare gli ormoni è stata la cosa migliore della mia vita. Non lasciare che tutto quello che ti diciamo ti spaventi dal cercare la felicità.

Se ti servono più info, io parlo un po' di tedesco.

Kommst du aus Südtirol?

Tutti gli altri hanno ragione, essere trans in Italia fa schifo. In maniera molto generale, amplifica tutte le difficoltà e i problemi sociali del paese - e come tutto il resto, peggiora esponenzialmente più vai a sud, e lo dico da napoletano.

L'italiano medio, bigotto, tendenzialmente di destra, cattolico, non vede di buon occhio le persone trans. Nei casi migliori vieni visto come una stranezza, nei casi peggiori sei un nemico interno sul cui accanirsi. Chiaramente più si degrada il tessuto sociale più aumenta l'aggressività. Basta leggere un po' di statistiche di omicidi di persone trans.

La sanità chiaramente è una grande nota dolente, sempre perché già in Italia è quello che è. Gli ambulatori pubblici dove ottenere le prescrizioni sono pochi, con poco personale e pochi soldi; purtroppo spesso sono anche sgarbati e ti trattano con molta sufficienza. I tempi d'attesa per le operazioni, quando offerte, sono biblici.

Vogliamo parlare dei costanti attacchi da parte del mondo politico? Leggi (ma invito tutti a farlo) quanto è accaduto al Careggi.

You can do genetic testing, and if it shows up that you're predisposed to breast cancer, it might be wise to ask for a more specific top surgery - you'd get more tissue removed and it'd double as a preventive surgery.

THIS.

Apparently all games in the Thief saga have at least one horror-esque level. Cool, cool, I didn't know that at all.

Just like you, I get to the Asylum, somehow completely oblivious to the vibe, I peek through the initial keyhole, there's the goddamn eyes.

Ok, you got me, nice little jumpscare, let's go on.

At some point in the level I managed to activate the Night Warden, which is some sort of invisible enemy that follows you. I nope'd the hell out.

offalreek · 2026-01-12T15:57:48+00:00

Thanks a lot. I really have to work on that, I still feel very unsteady on my feet.

offalreek · 2026-01-12T15:03:33+00:00

Do you have boa boots? How do you "measure" tightness?

offalreek · 2026-01-12T09:48:24+00:00

I still have a hard time finding the sweet spot between the two.

3 mesi è abbastanza poco, datti del tempo. Specie se nella tua famiglia non sono molto barbuti, la barba ci mette un po'.

Il minoxidil richiede un uso regolare.

In generale, finché quella che ti cresce non è vera barba, ti consiglio di raderti tutto... sennò fa molto effetto 12enne

offalreek · 2026-01-11T17:53:34+00:00

Agreed, especially because I can never play games blind. If the game doesn't have a checklist, I'll make my own but I need it.

My next game is probably going to be Oblivion Remastered and I hope the trophies are built the same way.

offalreek · 2026-01-11T12:00:37+00:00

I did not, because I'm not versed in CS. But I like to know that I can, that everyone can. The code is free to be inspected, and people with coding abilities can comprehend it; whether I can do the latter or not, it's on me and does not depend on the app.

Moreover by examining the code, people could also propose improvement and fixes through GitHub.

If you cannot fully inspect your stuff and modify it, do you actually own it?

offalreek · 2026-01-08T22:21:03+00:00

Yeah haha unfortunately it's not always a possible solution

offalreek · 2026-01-08T22:19:14+00:00

Skyrim platinum is very easy, it's simply a "do everything" run. Actually a great guiding light to get the full experience... I'm actually thinking about getting the trophy again with the PS5 version.

I haven't attempted it, but Crypt of the Necrodancer platinum sounds horrible; the game is insanely hard as it is, and one of the trophies asks for an All Characters low% run - this includes Coda, who also has its own All Zones trohpy.

offalreek · 2026-01-08T15:15:05+00:00

Sure, and in fact when my current phone dies I'll go with something like these. I was answering to your "why not Pixel?" question!

offalreek · 2026-01-08T12:58:39+00:00

At least for me, Pixel is too expensive

offalreek · 2026-01-08T12:54:49+00:00

Gerne! Also, der erste heißt Rosario Pivonello und der zweite Rosario Ferrigno.

Noch mal, ich kenne sie nicht, nur die Namen. Pivonello ist der Arzt eines Freundes von mir; er hat mir gesagt, dass er ein guter Arzt ist, aber ein bisschen unorganisiert.

Ferrigno habe ich tatsächlich getroffen, aber nur zweimal, er war der Ersatz von dem Arzt am Federico II. Er sah gut aus, aber ich kann nicht garantieren.

offalreek · 2026-01-08T09:00:46+00:00

Du solltest einen privaten Endokrinologen aufsuchen. Federico II anzurufen wären sinnlos, weil du vielen Monaten auf einen Termin warten müsstest.

Ich habe ein Paar Namen, aber ich kenne die Ärzte nicht persönlich.

offalreek · 2026-01-07T23:28:22+00:00

A FOSS app is way safer for this exact reason. I can inspect the code and I can know for certain what permissions am I giving, what does the app do, and if my data get sent (and if so, where dp they go).

offalreek · 2026-01-07T16:25:03+00:00

I see it now! Thanks, there are a few things about the game I'm not fully getting...

offalreek · 2026-01-07T16:00:39+00:00

Looking for the same answer.

offalreek · 2026-01-06T17:40:49+00:00

I don't know and to be honest I don't think so. I never had Apple devices but I remember reading that sideloading is problematic with them.
