I've got some L'Oreal stuff that I'm pretty sure says to let it sit. But honestly, unless you're using a medicated shampoo like you said, because I've also seen some of those that say it, who has that kind of time.

I also recommend the Netflix anime, Terminator Zero. It's made by Production IG, the people behind Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and SkyDance, and does a great job of being its own thing while being respectful of the first two movies.

You're supposed to leave shampoo in for 5 minutes before rinsing to get the full effect, especially if you have long hair.

It wasn't until I grew my hair out that I learned how much goes into a "proper" wash beyond just "scrub with soap and a cloth/loofah." I went from like 10 minute showers with half of that being trying not to fall asleep in the shower, to 30 minutes if I'm doing more to my hair that day than giving it a rinse.

Or, if you have a bathroom with a washer and dryer in it, throw your towel and clothes into the dryer. That way you hop out and immediately into a nice warm towel followed by warm clothes.

Alternatively, if you have old school radiator heating, just throw your towel/clothes on the radiator. Does the same thing, though it might be pretty hot when you get out depending on the climate that you live in.

This is literally how we got here. Dems capitulated over and over during Obama's presidency to keep programs like SNAP going, and Republicans have run the same strategy ever since. Stonewall everything as long as you can, and blame it on the other side the entire time. And people eat it up every single time.

I don't either, I think it's super weird and creepy, but most people that I've talked to about it have never even thought about it before, and the people around my parents' age consider it "patriotic."

This makes sense as I was in school before 2010, so my experience would've been from before more schools started adopting them. And my dad would've probably been in school in the 50s, so when he was wearing a school uniform with a tie everyday, it was absolutely a rich private school thing.

HRT has a success rate over 90%, measured as more than 90% of people who go on HRT report an improvement in their quality of life compared to before HRT. Of that other roughly 10%, the majority report reasons outside of regret for stopping HRT. Things like: medical complications, financial reasons, loss of jobs or housing due to being visibly trans, loss of friends and family due to being trans, assault or rape, etc., and most report that they would start HRT again as soon as possible. Only a small portion of that 10% say that they regret taking HRT and that it was a mistake.

So is it literally 1%? I don't know, but it's certainly less than 10%, which gives HRT one of the highest success rates in the field of medicine. By comparison, antidepressants have a success rate somewhere around 36% and knee replacement surgery hovers a little over 50%.

The biggest regrets reported by those who take HRT are that they didn't start sooner, and/or being forced through an unwanted puberty with permanent life-altering effects as a child - which is why puberty blockers are a critical component of trans healthcare. Puberty blockers have been in use for young girls since the 80s for what's known as "precocious puberty" - when a girl starts puberty at a very young age, usually around 8 but can be as young as 4. Nobody cared when it was cis girls taking them so that they would start puberty at a normal age. But when trans people started taking them to avoid permanent, life-altering changes until they're old enough to consent to whether or not they want to go on HRT, puberty blockers suddenly became this untested drug being forced upon young boys by nefarious outside forces in the public eye.

I don't believe parents should be able to make any permanent decisions about a child's body. This includes hormones, tattoos, genital mutilation of any kind, plastic surgery, piercings.

You're right - which is why puberty blockers should be required by law for all children until they're 18 and can decide for themselves which puberty is right for them.

Key words: so far.

The last time the US enacted global tariffs, it caused the Great Depression.

The last time the US enacted global tariffs, it created the Great Depression, which hit the entire globe and was one of the major contributing factors to the Nazis rise to power. What happens here might only be hurting Americans and killing American minorities at the moment, but the psychotic demagogue in charge here will have real international repercussions soon enough. Honestly though, I think the tariffs have done what international sanctions couldn't do, which is help convince some of Trump's cult that he's the one hurting them. Sanctions would just let him blame the outside world.

You should keep in mind, it will take time for everybody else to truly divest themselves of the orange shit-gibbon and all the corporations based here, and that means time in which the fan spraying shit can turn towards Europe.
