Alberta, Essentially Texas North. Heavily conservative, oil Sands, cowboy hats.

Remember kids, we're one of the reasons the Geneva Conventions exist. A surrendering soldier is a dead one.

Yea, I like to suspend my machine, but rather than hit suspend and walk away I have to wait to find out what has prevented suspend from suspending. That and it trying to goto sleep when I don't want it to. Drives me nuts

Alberta makes all their money off oil, most pipelines dip down into the US because Native groups have a fit whenever pipelines attempt to cross certain provinces. Michigan has the same fit about those pipelines, but that's mostly because ships dropping anchor over the pipelines and the ecological disaster that would occur makes them uneasy. Everyone wants oil, but until the world turns into Minecraft and we learn to send liquids wirelessly, someone's fucked.

What's the add-on situation like? I've been using Iceraven because of its extensive add-on support, way beyond Mozilla's curated list. But privacy centered it is not.

Used Waterfox for years, made the switch to Zen which has quickly become my browser of choice. Mostly because I never realize it's running. I can have, and currently do have a million tabs open and it barely affects my system. Which is nice.

First 8 months on Ozempic: "Why the hell does my stomach hurt so much? Oh, I haven't eaten for 3 days."

The first couple weeks I had to set an alarm to remind me to eat. 3 years later I wish it still had the appetite suppression. I've thought about Wegovy but I've finally stopped having the Ozempic side effects, and I don't hate myself enough to go through with that again.

Well the main thing it did to me was give me crippling depression. No one over the course of my life could ever figure out why I was depressed. "It runs in the family" was the excuse. My depression disappeared after the first injection. Everyday of my life I felt like there was a force pushing down on me, and then shortly after my shot it went away and it took me awhile to realize it was gone. That was a good day.

I couldn't lose weight no matter what I did, spent thousands on personal training over the years but I could never gain muscle, or lose the weight I gained. I was a 58 waist in Feb, and I'm currently down to 44 in not even a year. Last time I went to the big and tall store they said they've seen me enough this year and we switched to elastic waist pants and a stretch belt so I don't keep having to buy clothes every 3 months.

I never had any body hair. I would have to shave once a week before. I have hair everywhere now and it's weird.

Lots of other things, zero libido. I was dating my wife and she got exasperated about my disinterest in sex, it was a chore for me. I'd be the one coming up with excuses not to have sex.

Exactly, and maybe spend a couple hundred for a Japanese replica and all the functions might work.

Or buy a replica, for a very small fraction of the price and see if anyone ever knows the difference.

I have a $350 Japanese made replica of a Patek Philippe Grand Complication, everything works on it. To me it is indistinguishable from the real thing and didn't cost me $300,000

We wanted kids, tried to have kids, but things never seemed to work out. So I went to see my doctor and they ran some tests. First test we found I had no sperm, so they did more tests, turns out I barely have any testosterone at all, but absolutely tons of estrogen. More tests, this time a genetic one. Turns out I have kleinfelter syndrome, which if caught early enough there are things that can be done. But at my age that boat has long since sailed.

It's been an interesting couple of years. I started TRT injections at the beginning of the year. And my life has taken a complete 180, turns out you really need testosterone for alot of things. And your body reacts kinda funny without it.

Adoption seems our only choice, but she doesn't want a kid if it's not hers. So... Yea
