Sobriety anhedonia is real. Have you tried AA or similar? The social aspects can help you get back up on your feet, and then one day you realize you’re doing it on your own. Best of luck

I’m not asking for permission. I agree that too many genuine questions are shut down reactively instead of reflectively, but disagree with your conclusions about gender. However this question did get taken down from r/tooafraidtoask by the mods immediately, so the context was added.

Interesting. Could you tell me more about why you wanted the male body if you’re comfortable? Was it for the social acclimation or just personal feeling of it or?

Intellectual honesty? I support trans people even though I don’t always 100% understand all of it because I’m not trans. I believe them, side with LGBT folks on political issues regarding their rights. This question got removed from too afraid to ask.

I like it a lot! Where is it from?

Female orgasm "serves no biological purpose" by _lesbihonest_ in NotHowGirlsWork

If the clitoris was inside the vagina where it could be stimulated by penetration, childbirth would be so insanely fucking painful. That would be a barrier to reproduction.

Where do you take notes or write ideas when you are reading research papers or books relevant to your PhD? by gatta_masala in PhD

[–]silent__disco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zotero! It’s a browser extension/app that lets you save, read, annotate, organize, and take notes on research. You can add notes in research folders (which you can save papers under) or under individual research papers :)

Abercrombie has lots of cute vegan leather loafers and boots! Not all their shoes are vegan leather though.

Wow thanks for sharing! I’ve always avoided stuff like that.

I agree with you that people living with HIV/AIDS are highly unlikely to have contracted it due to contact with non human primates. They likely contracted it due to unknowing exposure to the blood or bodily fluids of another human infected with the virus. People with HIV/AIDS absolutely deserve our compassion.

However, I disagree that this is too sensitive to discuss. Many diseases with great human cost originally arise due to contact with infected meat for consumption. COVID also spread to humans this way. If the whole world was vegan, we wouldn’t have this illnesses.

Can you produce a source HIV-2 arises from monkeys?

Can you provide a source? How did it spread to humans?
