![kirby-wave](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/84cf2687-8fa0-4d3f-b0ec-337d70d2b597.gif "emoji kirby-wave") Hi again, gonna give this a try any feedback is welcome.

Hey there, I was wondering if there is any interest in some kind of recipe posting (at least biweekly) where the main purpose would be to show people how to make affordable, filling, yummy, and super easy to make meals. Maybe the requirements could be less than 10 minutes of prep, 1 hour of cooking time and under $3ish a serving? Example: **Lentil Soup** **Ingredients:** - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 cup finely chopped onion - 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot - 1/2 cup finely chopped celery - 2 teaspoons kosher salt - 1 pound lentils - 1 8oz can of diced tomato's - 2 quarts vegetable broth - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground toasted cumin - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground grains of paradise **Directions:** - Place the olive oil into a large 6-quart Dutch oven and set over medium heat. - Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery and salt and sweat until the onions are translucent, approximately 6 to 7 minutes. - Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, coriander, cumin and grains of paradise and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil. - Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook at a low simmer until the lentils are tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. - All Done!

Xiaomi 13 and MIUI
The good: The build quality outperformed any previous iPhone or Pixel I've used. Super fast charging, It took less than 15 minutes to reach nearly full charge. Also everything I used ran quite quickly, including the OS.
The bad: It was nearly difficult to properly receive notifications due to MIUI's battery management. There were no basic aesthetic modification options available; I got the impression that Xiaomi was pressuring me to purchase themes.
The meh: The language barrier was somewhat inconvenient when the keyboard would automatically switch to pinyin, could chalk this up to the pre install rom and my own skill issue of not being able to read hànyǔ or zhōngwén.
How do I get one outside of china? I have seen these on AliExpress, but I'm not sure whether I can help with this one as I acquired it from a close friend.
I'm really interested in HarmonyOS and other Chinese domestic market (CDM) phones and OSes after reading so many discussions about Huawei, Vivo, and OPPO phones. I was hoping we could compile some details on them and how one might get one from outside of China. A place where we could discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and distinctions of using them on a daily basis, perhaps with some reviews?

I'm really fucking tired of seeing this narrative championed by fed's and then watching people try to justify real transphobia and misogynistic behavior because it's China. Every fucking left of socdem comm on every fucking platform is the same shit: "China's trans people are not the same as in the west; stop applying settler/colonial/anglocentric logic and understating to China's transgender population.".
I want to bring up a few points here, points that I think tell you where China stands when it comes to trans people.
- They have made legal access to HRT extremely difficult; in 2022, online access to estradiol and other HRT is illegal.
- Trans people are first required to get approval from their family before medical transition.
- Most trans people lack supportive family and friends.
- An alarming amount of trans people have experienced violence from their own families.
- There are countless stories about AFAB people being raised as mascs, or in some of their words, as men or men.
I ask of you why there are only two narratives (CIA-sponsored pink-washed anti-China or we must excuse/ignore China's misogyny and transphobia because our cultures differ). Why are we not looking at the actual conditions of trans people in China?
"Is China becoming transphobic?"?
No, it has been due to its misogynistic culture and is only getting worse. IMO partly because of the constant narrative being perpetrated that trans people are some kind of western invention leveraged to wage ideological warfare against China and its allies.
The world is not that binary; we all understand the positive impact that China has on the world, but we also must be honest with one another and ourselves. Trans people deserve better, regardless of what culture we exist in; limiting our access to medical transision, the lack of support from friends and family, and violence create a culture that is toxic and damaging to trans people.

I think a part of it is how new the P320 is. Glocks had a similar reputation in the early 80’s - 90’s, with over 120 accidental discharges in the Washington Metropolitan Police Department from 1988 to 1998 for example. In my opinion, I think it’s mostly ND’s and cops attempting to cover their asses. Here’s an opinion piece from 2015 talking about how unsafe Glocks are: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-owens-glock-accidents-20150508-story.html. Also, here’s a link discussing the “safety” of Glocks and a reference to a trigger recall with some pretty good diagrams: https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/glock-trigger/

I don't think anyone recently audited GrapheneOS, so I'm not sure about the trackerless aspect of it. Hardware wise, there's a bit of concern given the closed-source nature of the baseband firmware on pixels. Admittedly, it's been a bit since I looked into it, but last time I checked, there were no tools that would enable fuzzing, root-cause analysis, or debugging of the pixels baseband firmware images. So currently, I don't think we have the tools to check this. Also I would love a good Linux phone. I was really hoping the librem-5 would pan out, but it looks pretty dead at this point.

IDK how to feel about the discourse here as a whole, but to address some of the posters in this thread and others ive seen. First, you don't need a uterus or to shed a uterine lining to be a woman, period. Second, all people experience hormonal cycles (enby, trans, cis, etc.). So to answer the OP, yes, it is totally normal and ok, but it is never a bad idea to ask your doctor. As far as transfems and period discourse, I think we can all agree that western society takes more of a misogynistic view, and I think that leads to a focus on fem people and their cycles. Also, the physicality of someone who sheds their uterine lining is a pretty obvious physical symptom that is only possible if you have a uterus. So I think the question is more like, Can we, as transfems, call our hormonal cycles a period? IMO yes, I guess where I have an issue with posters on this one is that a lot of the symptoms that fems say are part of their cycle have nothing to do with HRT and have more to do with people that have uteri. To get a better idea, we can sort through the common period symptoms that people with uteri experience.
Abdominal cramps - Uterine contractions help shed the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium).
Breakouts - Estrogen and progesterone levels decline while androgens, such as testosterone, increase slightly. Androgens stimulate the production of sebum; if too much sebum is produced, acne breakouts are a common result.
Tender breasts - When progesterone levels increase, the mammary glands in your breasts enlarge and swell, this leads to an achy, swollen feeling.
Fatigue - When hormone levels plummet, fatigue is often the result.
Bloating - Changes in estrogen and progesterone can cause your body to retain more water, which results in a bloated feeling.
Bowel issues - your bowels are sensitive to hormonal change; this can lead to more frequent movements and/or the following: diarrhea, nausea, gassiness, and constipation.
Headache - Estrogen can increase serotonin levels and the number of serotonin receptors in the brain, setting off migraines.
Mood swings - Estrogen can increase production of serotonin and endorphins, decreasing/increasing good feelings and/or increasing depression and irritability. For some, progesterone can have a calming effect. When you have low progesterone levels, the effect may be diminished or increased.
Lower back pain - The uterine and abdominal contractions are triggered by the release of prostaglandins and can cause muscle contractions.
Trouble sleeping abdominal cramps, tender breasts, bloating, headaches, cramps, etc. can all contribute to having issues sleeping.
Do we as transfems share some of these symptoms? Absolutely, for example, breakouts, fatigue, bloating, bowel issues, headaches, mood swings, and trouble sleeping. All of them are related to estrogen, and some to progesterone levels increasing or decreasing, like during our shot, patch, cream, or pellet cycles. However, things like abdominal cramps or lower back pains are directly related to having a uterus and the shedding of the uterine lining triggered by hormonal fluctuations. Does this mean you can't get abdominal cramps or lower back pains if you don't have a uterus no, but its most likely not related to your HRT cycles.
Also this is pretty helpful for estimating the ebb and flow of your HRT cycles
