    Obviously the HRT won't have time to do much in the way of physical changes by the time I'm in NYC in late August, but I'd still like to try presenting as a lady when I meet friends that week, so I need to like...figure out how to make that happen @_@

    like with makeup or whatever

    There's this linguistic thing where Swedish journalism keeps dropping words from headlines, traditionally so the screamsheets could use bigger fonts to make them more visible and hopefully sell more. This crap still lives on.

    I present to you the Swedish sentence "Få väljer att använda kondomer", meaning "Few choose to use condoms". That's the normal sentence.

    Then we have Journalist Swedish: "Få väljer använda kondomer". Drop a word, get bigger headlines!

    Except now it means "Few choose used condoms".

    The 13 looks to be a really nice bit of hardware. This current phone is three years old so I guess that’s long enough? Who knows anymore.

    If they wanted to optimize for headlines then "Få använder kondomer" -> "Few use condoms" is right there.

    i've been looking to upgrade from the 8.

    battery life is starting to fade. but i may want to switch over from ATT to Verizon cause I feel like ATT coverage sucks. But only if they can port my number. and only if I don't have to unlock my credit to do so

    its super easy to port numbers now as long as your not under a current contract then it gets annoying because you have to buy out your contract first

    Also, it can do the cool thing where you can find the exact location of your AirTags within 20 feet, pointing directly to it on your screen. This has been useful to me recently, as my keys somehow ended up buried in a moving box. The camera is also stupidly awesome.

    What the iPhone 6 can do that the iPhone 12 can't is have an actual Home button to click. Stupid bezel-less screens with a camera bumper.

    I don't regret upgrading to a 12 from my 8, but I regret losing that Home button and the thumbprint ID thing. Face ID just sucks balls.

    Buying a faceid only phone during the time of masking was not my best impulse

    My faceid has been good in the right light but nothing beats my Galaxy Note's thumbprint reader. I'd have an unlocked phone before it even reached my face.

    Oh, I set up an alt Face ID unlock with a mask on, and it seems to work okay. It also unlocks if the linked Apple Watch is nearby instead, as well, so it's not AS much of a nuisance as it could be. Still miss my iPhone 8's Home button, though.
