The only thing I really noticed in my brain is being more sleepy all the time. For me, heightened emotions already happened before HRT, after coming out of repression. Maybe the hormones have amplified it even more, but if so it's not dramatic enough to be easy to tell. If nothing else, though, experiencing the physical changes has had a marked positive effect on my mood through euphoria, relief from dysphoria, etc. Can't say for sure if some of that might be from the hormones alone. It can be difficult to separate the confounding variables.

I don't know if there are formal rules around the use of these flags (I assume not), but, fwiw, as a trans person myself, I like seeing them worn in general. I don't really assume or care too much about the person wearing them, but I find it reassuring. Both in the sense of, "hey, at least this one person probably doesn't have a problem with me existing. One less rando for me to worry about", and in the sense of, "hey, at least this one person can openly exhibit a symbol of trans support and visibility without having been crucified for it. Hopefully that means I'm unlikely to catch flak for not passing around these here parts".
I would have been happy to keep giving them money too, if they hadn't kept doubling down on shady and abusive practices like tying digital purchases to hardware, forcing online check-ins for offline games, and patent trolling. That doesn't matter one jot, though, since the broad appeal of their products means their audience largely consists of people who don't notice or care about things like that in the slightest. Makes me wonder if that's part of the strategy, but then again, I doubt it's any different for Microsoft or Sony, so maybe it's moot.
Unfortunately, this was before xkcd. If I'd known about the "lucky 10,000", I might have been more philosophical about it at the time.
I still recall how, as a fresh-faced, young gamer just getting into the newfangled realm of online multiplayer, I got absolutely got in Everquest when somebody told me you could get a numeric representation of your current experience points by typing "/ex".
It was actually short for "/exit". And in those days, it took a loooooooooooooooooong time to relaunch the game and get logged back in. Learned a valuable lesson about human nature that day. It has served me well.
Yeah, I'm with you. My understanding of the term "shitpost" is that it's, by definition, low-effort and/or low-quality.

Does lemm.ee have any problems? I used it for a while last year, before I came across blahaj.zone, as a lighter-weight alternative to lemmy.world. Could be an alternative, but I don't know if they've had any drama I missed.

Best part is that the "not gay" shorts look like a skirt. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
