- Comment on Why is it uncommon for kids commute to & from school in the US on their own? 1 week ago:
Literally no one at my schools walked there. I personally lived 9.5 km from my high school which is the closest high school by a long shot. The school district (and its only high school) served a 440+ square km area, so I wasn’t even on the far end of things. Only the very last bit of getting there would have sidewalks. (A majority of the walk would be along roads like this maps.app.goo.gl/MfAsP2SJgVTmnEzu5?g_st=ic ). At least a mile of the walk (which my parents did let me do from 8years on) is unmaintained dirt road.
Oh and at the start of the school year, it’s not unusual that the temp is 31 c.

Even golfers (male) look older than they should to me.
- Comment on Advice for moving to NY? 3 weeks ago:
It may have been a situation with my particular school, but the dorms ended up costing more than renting a room (Flatbush vs Park Slope Brooklyn), AND they wanted grad students even to physically share bedrooms. I could image it at 19, I was not going to deal with it at 24.
- Comment on Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it? 5 months ago:
So I don’t know where you are or what your healthcare system is like, but I suspect it’s somewhere with a public system. Do you think it’s good for your system to treat depression and suicidal ideation/attempts? Because transition is the best prevention of suicide attempts for people who are transgender. Full stop. If there was any treatment that came close to the improvement for depressed cis people, it would be considered a god damn miracle.
- Comment on How plausible is a medical tricorder? 5 months ago:
Honestly the way they used it, I always thought the tricorder was just the reading part of other diagnostic implements. Kind of an all in one CGM, implanted pacemaker, etc.
