  • It has a bunch of side effects that are not completely understood, especially at higher dosages and the longer you're taking it (see https://transfemscience.org/articles/cpa-dosage/). Personally, my mood and general well-being improved so much once I stopped taking it that I wish I never did.

  • Nah, the recommended level is anywhere between 100 and 200 pg/mL at trough, which you should be hitting at this dosage easy (check out https://estrannai.se/) and it sounds like you're hitting with almost 400 at peak.

    Most likely they're testing the peak to ensure your safety but as far as effectiveness goes (especially for monotherapy T suppression), you want to test both T and E at trough.

  • I apologise for misunderstanding you. I agree, it's just that everyone is really tired already of the LLM hype machine that keeps claiming AI will take over any moment now when we don't even know if and when that future technology is going to be achieved. Personally, I think the LLM hype is counterproductive to that effort, which is why I use such strong terms when discussing it.

  • I believe you're making a mistake Rosa Luxemburg touches on in her Reform or Revolution. A capitalist is not (necessarily) a person or a group of people but a manifestation of class division with respect to the relations to the means of production. Bourgeois revolutions across the world did not necessarily eliminate people or groups of people that are part of the monarchy apparatus, rather they eliminated monarchy as a distinct class in relation to the means of production, subsuming royal dynasties into the emergent capitalist class. When I was making my joke, I was thinking of that distinct class.

  • I am not Belarussian so it's not for me to judge whether this is offensive to the point of banning it but I would say, generally, that the Russian terms for the various ethnicities inhabiting the former Russian empire are best avoided. As the current use of a similar word for Ukrainians (which I'm not even going to type here) shows, things can quickly turn from "friendly banter" to full-on racist, nationalist, supremacist abuse. At the same time, some would argue that such terms were always about supremacy, and I recently find myself agreeing with this more and more.

  • Yeah, Belarussians are sometimes referred to as бульбаши (from бульба = one of the names for potato in Slavic languages and a cognate of English bulb) in Russian. Some people may or may not consider this a slur though so don't actually use it please.
