  • Therapy is probably a good idea regardless. If you spent your life "in the wrong body", I would imagine it would still leave you with thousands of small mental wounds that add up. Granted, finding the right therapist can be an ordeal.

  • It's not reliable. I will get a message on my phone that doesn't show up on my PC for 20 minutes. I'll get a notification on my phone but some times not on my PC. I hate that I have to have my phone ping for everything that ever happens because I can't trust the desktop version to actually tell me.

  • But you don't understand. This is the Internet. You are either a saint or the anti-christ. There is nothing In-between and nuance is propaganda. And if you don't agree with my currently held emotionally charged position, you are what's wrong with (fill in the blank).

  • I believe there is battery tech that is newer but being deployed into production that is iron based. It is heavier and less energy dense than lithium. But for power grid level deployment that should be fine and iron is a bit harder to catch on fire.

  • I'm not on a stimulant beside caffeine. But I have noticed a similar issue. 3 things I do to help:

    1. Plan for it. I intentionally plan for my meals to be larger as the day progresses so dinner is the biggest.
    2. I give myself "free" things to eat with no guilt. If I want to eat a giant bowl of cooked broccoli, no worries.
    3. Don't buy things you will dopamine crave. If you have junk food at arms reach, you will eat it. I try to stick up on protein bars and fresh fruit.
  • As for food functionality it is very comparable to software remote control of a computer. There are 3 key features that stand out:

    • It does not rely on the target machine being booted into the OS. This means you can access it even if it crashes or locks up.
    • It can "push" the power button on the machine. This requires an accessory that plugs into the motherboard. So you can force a machine off or cold boot a system.
    • You can mount a boot ISO. This is like having a bootable flash drive in the target machine so you can install an OS remotely.

    Edit: Because this is essentially full access to the machine as if you where physically at it, it should be considered a security risk. Not saying that you need to be scared of it, but you should be aware of the risk and protect it from unauthorized access.

  • I would argue that under the right conditions it could negatively impact physical growth. As social creatures, humans can experience a lot of stress from isolation. I think it well understood that intense prolonged stress can have many negative impacts on the body. It could negatively impact physical development in that way.

  • It sounds like you are fundamentally trying to embrace healthier habits. I would suggest starting by examining the feeling. Just spend some time thinking about it before acting. Why do I feel motivated to do this? How will I feel while doing it? How will I feel after? Do I gain something from this worth the downsides?

    The goal is to make a decision about what you are doing and why instead of just falling into old patterns of behavior with thought.

  • My perspective. I don't think anyone has done anything wrong in this situation. You are clearly upset because you are worried about your friend. You are upset because the other person does not feel the concerned for your friend the way you are. That response is understandable, but not rational. Humans be like that.

    I think the idea of leaving your family celebration early to spend some time with your friend is a reasonable solution. Nobody gets everything, but nobody is left out.

    I understand that my view point is lacking in years of nuance for the situation and could be totally off. I leave you to judge how accurate/useful my perspective is.

  • I'm inclined to treat the body with what I would call "professionalism". You are not emotionally attached beyond the desire to do your job well. Though I am not opposed to some people getting a burial at sea. The better for them to be forgotten.
