Automation is kind of the key point here

In some areas you are legally responsible for your parents if they become unable to take care of themselves. Not saying that makes it OK, but it can certainly be seen as an societal expectation.
It doesn't make sense that 1080p looks horrible at such a large size when I'm used to 4k?
I've definitely found it to be helpful, but my therapist has a lot of experience with trans people and GNC people. Tread carefully if your therapist isn't as open minded.
Good call out! I've been exploring genderfluidity with my therapist but haven't solidified any identity change at this point.
Not exactly, but often times I feel very guided in my actions, and things always seem to work out when I lean into it, and conversely go bad when I stray from it. Whether that's wisdom from past lives, genetic coding, ancestors looking down on me, angels, God, aliens, or just powers of subconscious observation - I couldn't even begin to guess.
For example, I always drive the same route home from work, but once felt an overwhelming desire to take a different way. I found out later that there was an accident on my usual route. Coincidences like that seem to happen a lot.
I know that's only loosely tied to what you were getting at but thought it was interesting enough to share.
My gender and pronouns are evolving at this point. He/they is fine but I've been playing around with detransition, so some days I prefer she. I won't take offense at whatever way you refer to me.
Absolutely. As a toddler I became adamant that I was previously a boy named something similar to John and lived in the Middle East. I described my life and death in detail. I still remember snippets clearly. I'm not a particularly spiritual person, but have always wondered if it was echos of a past life.
I leaned into this so hard that I refused to wear girl's clothing, and wanted nothing to do with girly things. I think my parents must have figured I'd grow out of it, but the masculine streak stuck with me.
Labels are for soup cans. Don't stress too much about it, just go with what feels comfortable to you.
For portable use I love this keyboard: https://a.co/d/a1s6Slt
It's not the best option if you're just using it at home, though.
Serial Experiments Lain. I managed to acquire a bootleg Japanese VHS of the show (sans subtitles) in '99 or '00 and fell in love. I bought the English dub as soon as I could find it. I was totally obsessed, even going as far as carrying a messenger bag like Lain had, and making a custom Windows XP theme based on Navi. I even bought a Palm Pocket to mimic the smartphones shown in the show.
Lain shaped my passion for IT, and I feel it changed my life in profound ways.
I'm confused by the sudden popularity. It went under the radar for so long. Now all of the merch goes for insane amounts of money.
Yeah 100%. I've been having more of the latter since getting sober - I think it's just mental fatigue.
