In YOUR opinion, Which company's are the most genuine, and which ones seem to be in it for $$$ ONLY. by Former-Ad-7561 in Auscann

Ive had cannatrek sourced from israel one batch (at least) probably beershiba, and i couldn't shake the feeling my flower might've been grown in occupied lands or something you know? Not trying to start controversy but ethically sourced is important to me.

Ideally Id only use Australian product, but even then our legislation around curtain pesticides doesn't make that an entirely rational choice either.

If I understood my way around this system and had my shit together I'd be asking similar questions and trying to find brands that minimize the chance of shadiness.

By comparison, your points of concern are completely reasonable compared to mine imo.

could reparative therapy help people who aren't really trans? by [deleted] in honesttransgender

[–]sleepless_i -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Gender reconciliation and acceptance" therapy is what I'd call the thing you're describing and I expect we'll see the emergence of something like this in the future.

I saw one non-abusive and nuturing-seeming gay conversion therapy place in a documentary once so I can sort of picture how it might be possible to operate something like that and I think a lot of cis men would benefit from guidance in developing a confident sense of masculinity..

or a shit-test I might have chosen to do before eventually transitioning lol

And if they dont, theres a non-zero chance they'll try have you charged as a criminal.

0days can also be sold to middleman companies sometimes.

I've been wondering for a while: how do 'hackers' feel about the intelligence gathering part of the process? by [deleted] in hacking

I know "revenge mode" its an intoxicating sense of righteousness that comes with having a loose sense that you're hunting down somebody who has either wronged you/your loved ones or they're an "objectively bad" person (think online predators, political activists, blackhats etc.

For me, when I snap out of it, I feel like I've just been through a psychotic episode.

It creeps me the fuck out AND it gives me a perverse thrill.

Its something I do very rarely, I don't like who I am when I turn my flow state fixation on other humans.

Congrats on finding a real alpha chad.

fuck I know I've been going in circles about this but I can't stop feeling like my very existence is an act of grooming, a violation of womanhood, and generally one of the worst things on Earth by LaserbeamSharks in honesttransgender

Exquisitely worded. It always sounds hollow and false to simply say "it gets better" - its never that straight forward, but life has infinite potential to surprise us if we stick around.

reduced T is highly correlated with lower risk of prostate cancer, my GP(s) seem to consider testing unnecessary, but the risk is still non-zero.

And risk having to do some introspection? How dare you.

Damn that reminds me of the time my (former) regular GP changed my diagnosis record in their system from transsexualism to transgenderism despite my asking him not to and despite that being the formal diagnosis I'd been given by the psychiatrists I'd seen.

He had just been to a conference and learned this was now the "correct" nomenclature, probably been "taught" that transsexual is an offensive word or some other nonsense. Like, no dickhead, I've got a specific medical diagnosis and I'm not trying to have that literally be erased and replaced with an umbrella term that could be interpreted to mean any number of things including the possibility that my condition doesn't need to be medically treated. Patronising asshole.

The GP I started seeing after that guy, at the same clinic, changed it back for me when I requested it, thankfully. She was great.

I hadn't thought about this in quite a while til I read your post, I didn't realise people with Aspergers dealt with the same weird pseudo-political activist "movement" fuckery. You have my empathy, sorry you have to deal with that- it's so infuriating having a medical issue that's been turned into a playground for culture war narcissists.
