At the very least the Scandinavian countries. (Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland)

HRT is essentially free through a single payer system with slightly different physicians evaluations. Though as with all care within such a system there's a queue, or you can pay a private clinic to get it done pretty much right away and w/o evaluations.

????

It seems like there's some fundamental miscommunication. The commment one of you mods removed never said to not take HRT. The entire focus of it was caution, other routes to get HRT along with a final encouraging note for the OP to try to be their best self.

As for the rest, previous moderation action indicates that the topic is too sensitive to be properly discussed in this space. Feel free to shoot me a DM instead if you'd like me to elaborate.

I'll keep it brief since the moderators do not want this topic to be discussed in this community. DM me instead if you want to continue.

The long and short is that many countries do have accessible quality healthcare and even more have it for those who can pay. I know that isn't the case everywhere or an option for everyone hence the qualifiers. OPs situation is not clear. Having encountered and read about patients who'd been harmed and exploited by bad actors I'd be remiss to not highlight what I perceive to be safer options.

Probably that it's based on corn-waste. Most I've seen are sugar-cane based. US grows a lot more corn than sugar cane.

Whilst paper and canvas is biodegradable, plastic as a material has certain useful traits compared to paper and canvas, hence why making/developing similar biologically based and degradable materials helps reduce our reliance on it.

Examples of such traits: Liquid resistance, non-permeable to water, see-through.

Not OP but it would be far easier to contrive getting the boat to the storm. Most ships nowadays (particularly big ones) have autopilot. GPS interference or maybe even hacking (I'd bet a billionaires yacht has sattelite internet) could get it off-course without being too noticeable.

Is it probable? No. Is it possible? Yes.

It might be worth raising an eyebrow and asking the question at least.

Oh [email protected] does have moderation. The mods there are very deliberate in the things they do(n't) allow. Woe betide you if you ever criticize certain historic (or current) authoritarian genocidal regimes.

Expectations of what is part of the discussion, not expectations of privacy.

As for doxxing, that's a problem with all social media - but possibly worse on the "regular" ones (people having mobs attacking their houses, being arrested in countries with censorship laws etc.)

Minecraft for the fully breakable/buildable procedural open world.

Admins and moderators can already take care of these sorts of problems.

That's because it's supposed to be. I was on Reddit for a decade until their management shit the bed, and these kinds of problems weren't a thing there despite the much larger userbase.

For the record, to me it's less about privacy and more about setting expectations. I'm not anonymous online, I'm pseudonymous, I've had this handle for a long time. I am my online identity, and when I post and vote I don't feel anonymous, even if I'm relatively protected from someone knocking on my door or messaging my boss about a statement.

If voting "ledgers" aren't presented in the discussion, that's because they aren't intended to be part of the discussion. This reduces the value of influential individuals votes (ooh Bill Gates liked X, Kamala Harris disliked Y etc.) and shifts focus to how the community values of the content. It’s the same reason that we follow communities rather than individuals. We get an internet "hive mind" of sorts without cult of personality.
