There should only be 12 jurors (maybe you've already done this). People should have to wait in a queue to join a jury of 12. Once you have 12 you all vote within 30 seconds. Everyone should see the results. If a jury is a hung jury, it ends up back in the queue. Majority wins. Users can only appeal once.
Basically it should mimic jury duty a little more closely. Right now, it just feels like you're doing a survey.
Totally agree. Plastic is useful. It's great for medical, sterilized, environments. It's great for emergencies. It's terrible for almost everything else.
If you'd like to read a relevant anecdote about plastics, please continue:
I'm currently struggling with the plastic industry on my keyboards right now. I have a 2016 Macbook Pro, but the scissor mechanism on my key broke on the board (not the key). In order to replace the keyboard, I'd have to spend $200-$400 on it. So, it's basically only good for recycling for parts now since the value of the Macbook Pro 2016 is basically the cost of the keyboard replacement. Someday, I might use it for just the hardware (e.g., on a docking station), but I want a laptop for - you know - walking around.
Instead, I "rescued" a Lenovo Thinkpad from eBay for $60. Unfortunately, the scissor mechanism on the same key broke last night. I got the laptop yesterday afternoon! But at least I can replace the whole keyboard myself for $30 so I guess I'll have a working laptop by Saturday night. Assuming no other plastic things break.
Anyways, my point is that plastic - especially plastic with a short lifetime - sucks. They should just use teeny metal bits for the scissor mechanism. Give my laptop keyboards some umph and durability. Stop building things that inevitable (apparently) will break!
SNW: what if hair had feelings?
The show has forever been altered in my mind.
I would have preferred exploding, but I'll take it.
<3 Thanks. It's helping that I can start doing some things to help alleviate the dysphoria :) I have things to look forward to for now.
Same age here and similar timeline. I'm still figuring things out. I'm a remote worker so I can hide from my job in a lot of ways, but I'm not sure how it'll impact my career. Feel free to checkout the /c/TransLater community as well! I'm not out to my parents or siblings - only my cis wife. I don't think I'll be coming out to anyone anytime soon because my family trends quite conservative.
I'm excited on your behalf!
Corn? No. Corn nuts? Absolutely, sign me up.
The more I read about Celeste, the more I think I should give it a try
I want Animal Crossing but I don't have a switch 😭
I've definitely given Sims and Terraria a few plays. The Sims is fun for designing and house design which I love.
In general, I struggle with the 2D aesthetic since it's usually 8/16bit and I don't "see" myself as the character usually. But I should give it another try.
I do love Satisfactory for that reason. I love the femme/androgynous character design. I mostly spend time trying to build a perfectly efficient forge but I run out of patience after I get the coal stage - which I realize is super early in the game lol
I definitely love Life is Strange and Stardew Valley! But Stardew Valley stresses me out lol I know it's supposed to be relaxing but the day/night cycles give me anxiety to get stuff done quickly before seasons/years end.
Maybe I'll do Unpacking or Skyrim but try it in 3rd person?
I know what you mean. The implication in Jadzia's statement is that she's typically adhering to straight relationships depending on her gender identity at the time. That being said, if you watch the show and are willing to be a little generous, you can make the claim that she's pansexual. The actress explicitly has said she wanted to portray her character as pansexual. Also, the trill retain the memories and wisdom of previous partners. It's hard to imagine that Jadzia wouldn't feel attraction to her previous partners. In fact, if you watch DS9 S04E05 - Rejoined you'll see Jadzia kiss her former wife and claim she still feels love for her. In addition, that kiss was one of the first televised lesbian kisses!

Two members of the TV Show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine are having a conversation, Jadzia Dax and Chief O'Brien.
Jadzia Dax asks "Wife problems, Chief?"
"How did you know?" Chief O'Brien replies.
Jadzia goes on to say, "Well, I've been a husband and I've been a wife, and I know that look from both sides."
I appreciate the concern and it's super kind of you to bring that all up. I've dealt with depression my whole life and I've gone to extensive therapy to treat it. On the positive side, I have tons of tools, medications, and support to deal with depression. My wife is aware of my history and I'm going to therapy. I'm taking Lexapro to alleviate my general depression. I'm not super worried about it because my wife and I understand that – if it ever gets to that point – I'll take HRT to alleviate my symptoms and begin fully transitioning.
Kids are really important to me. I've always wanted a decently sized family and my first child has been nothing but joy (and work, but mostly joy). As for the IVF, it's definitely on the table. My wife and I are going to assess a natural pregnancy solution in a few months and decide then if we're interested in trying. I'm pretty sure I can hang on that long. In the meantime, I'm doing everything I can via diet, exercise, and hair to achieve the goals that HRT isn't going to naturally provide. I'm hoping that we can get pregnant, I can then freeze my sperm, and then I can go on HRT. Basically, I'd be waiting 6-9 months before the HRT arrives at my doorstep. That's a long time and my plans might change, but that's the currently plan.
Yeah I'm definitely struggling internally but I've been ok. I really want more kids and IVF is expensive. We are considering freezing my sperm, but it's expensive and I'm not exactly wealthy. I'm not poor, but I am a little strapped these days. I don't know what to do about it but I feel a bit stuck. My life plan is to have 2-3 kids. My wife wants more kids as well. She's nervous about the costs of IVF and she's afraid IVF might not work which would start to get even more costly. It's all very new to both of us so it's hard to just suddenly turn around and change our life plans drastically. I only came out to her a month ago or so.
Congratulations! 🎉 Sounds like a great week
