Topical minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments for hair loss and are proven to work.
Estrogen also very likely works well with hair loss this recent, it does for me. And it’s much lower maintenance depending on how you take it. Depends on what you think of the other effects :)
Supplements and everything else that’s not specifically medication for it is mostly bullshit unless you have nutrition deficiency (in case of supplements). You can get yourself tested for it by a doctor but it’s unlikely to be the case especially if your father also has hair loss.
there’s some others like dutasteride but in the end they are all DHT blockers like finasteride as far as I know (DHT is what kills hair follicles)
This is why Youtube Music lasted a total of one day of me testing it a while ago (this was when I had Premium for a while and figured might as well test it). Insane to have a scroll view that expands as you scroll down, taking five seconds to load the next 10 items, instead of a fixed-size list.
Okay, to avoid confusion maybe I should use the same term you used, which is sexual preference, and not sexual orientation. This is what I'm talking about (from your OP):
The second part is sexual prefernces. I do not know much about sex or sexual preferences. I am a young adult, and have not had to know about this for any person that I have met yet. I have never had the interest to know about this for someone, neither have I retained this information. I understand that if you are looking out for partner/s, then you would have to share this, so we would have to use some words for it. But why do we have to keep this as a part of gender. As in, why would I want to share this information with my governments (who do census), or for my visa applications. Should this not just be something personal?
The only one who talks about this in the linked comment chain is the other person, and only tangentially.
So, again I suppose, in which way do you think this is part of gender?
Yeah. I think sex as a general classifier is not very useful, both in a colloquial and also medical context. I know that firsthand due to taking HRT, which already causes very medically relevant changes but of course not across the board for all sexual characteristics. But I wanted to keep it relatively short :)
Hm, where? I only saw you talk about gender vs sex, for which there is no difference in my native language either. And they certainly are closely related to the point where the majority of people identify as the gender corresponding to their sex.
However sexual orientation (such as “straight” or “gay” or “aroace” for example) is an entirely different thing as it describes your attraction to other people.
Oh gee I wonder why depressed kids are increasingly online where they are more free to express themselves, in a society where mental health problems are very stigmatized and confiding in someone that you want to kill yourself can get you imprisoned.
Also, related post on the general concept of internet addiction and gambling social media addiction.
going to bat for the concept of internet addiction as someone under 80 is spectacularly funny
damn people are spending a lot of time on the combination newspaper/public square/vast searchable library of incomprehensible amounts of information/storefront/private communications/some people's actual job technology. presumably there is some nefarious Scary Pathological Aspect to this,
Imagine if you called gambling addiction "addiction to going outside" and doomed the discourse to constantly bounce between "ok SOME outside activities are bad, you need to have a good relationship with how you interact" and "theres nothing wrong with going outside dumbass"
"gambling addiction" is an invention of the gambling industry leveraged to pathologise the human misery inflicted on purpose as part of their business model and divert discussions of that misery and suffering away from regulatory and political interventions that could prevent that harm and towards biomedicalized management of those experiencing that (again--foreseeable, inevitable, industry-working-as-intended) harm
I just about lost it at everything in this paragraph
The door creaked open. Guido van Rossum looked like the typical output of GNU Autotools. He introduced me to the only other survivor: Special DevOps Mikhail Molotov. "We lost Travis. We lost Jenkins..." Molotov lamented.
