so, I always soak the beans overnight, and they don't soften even after more than a full day of cooking - it's almost like the cooking prevents it from further softening.

I'm not sure I've tried soaking 48 hours, though, and I would be happy to make them into a refried bean or cooked into a starchy soup - anything that doesn't leave hard beans would be great.

Thanks for this advice and for helping me, I'll try it out - this is giving me some confidence to try bulk beans storage again. I usually keep them in mason jars with the oxygen absorbers like you describe, so I'll try that again.

thank you!! 😊

you first

have always felt it's weird the way the focus is more on the assigned sex than on the self-identified gender ... e.g. if someone is trans and you call them transfem it also communicates they were assigned male at birth (this is required such that being an enby or woman makes them trans).

Focusing on assigned sex can "undo" someone's gender in a way that calling them a transfem doesn't, for example.

this is the correct answer

@LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world here's an example of how to do the strikethrough syntax:

    
~~this will strike me out~~

  

will look like:

this will strike me out

but

    
~~this won't strike me out ~~

  

will look like:

~~this won't strike me out ~~

Honorary Mancunian is pointing out the problem is that space that comes before the last ~~, if you delete that the strikethrough might work, but I'm not sure it will work for a whole block like you were trying, let me try:

~~testing one two three

four five six~~

nope, the strikethrough only works inline, so you would have to strikethrough each sentence:

    
~~Important note: Shes also a Trump supporter. She actively voted for Republicans who were going to do this to us and when they then did what they said they were going to do she was supposedly surprised. She fucked around and her getting arrested is her finding out.~~

~~She also shouldn’t have gotten arrested and many many trans people go to the correct bathroom in states where it’s illegal to do so and have only not been arrested because we do everything we can to get in and get out and not make ourselves known.~~

  

which would look like:

Important note: Shes also a Trump supporter. She actively voted for Republicans who were going to do this to us and when they then did what they said they were going to do she was supposedly surprised. She fucked around and her getting arrested is her finding out.

She also shouldn’t have gotten arrested and many many trans people go to the correct bathroom in states where it’s illegal to do so and have only not been arrested because we do everything we can to get in and get out and not make ourselves known.

yeah, it was an intentional act of civil disobedience, though she might have a different view on that. She is a conservative Catholic who believed if she prayed and appealed to her fellow conservatives' consciences, they would ... just not uphold the hateful laws they created to target her. She was wrong, unfortunately. She explicitly has said she isn't an activist.

yes, even with soaking before cooking they remain dry. Even after boiling for an hour, cooling, and then simmering for hours. Even after simmering for multiple days - they just remain hard and never fully soften or cook.

how do you store your dry beans? I always end up with my beans getting too dry and they stay hard even after lots of cooking, dry beans have become something I can't buy in bulk and only fresh.

lol, I also spent a lot of time on /r/egg_irl and knew about egg culture and so on, and still didn't get that I was an egg. I found the memes relatable and while it was fine to joke that I might be an egg, I didn't take it seriously.

I'm in the U.S.

After some therapy I called up my primary care physician (PCP), told my nurse I have gender dysphoria and would like a referral to an endrocrinologist, and then gave the information about the endo so they could send over the referral.

Then the endo called me and I made an appointment, the first available was 3 months away. The endo thought it was obvious I should be on estrogen and sent the prescription in immediately, and I was able to pick up the estrogen that day.

Sometimes the psychologist can send the referral rather than the PCP, but my PCP was happy to send it (I got lucky, my PCP was randomly trans-affirming and turns out, unknown to me, they had other trans patients). So one way this can get bogged down is if your psychologist or PCP isn't willing to send a referral to an endo, or if you're relying on the PCP for the HRT, they just won't write you the Rx.

Another way this can get bogged down is if the wait time to see the endo is longer, or if the endo decides they aren't sure they should prescribe you the HRT.

This is why it's good to talk to the local trans community to know which therapists, PCPs, and endos to see. If the community doesn't know, sometimes there are resources and directories collected online - I found my endo through the Trans in the South guide.

Basic Role-Playing (BRP), which is the system Call of Cthulhu is based on, is a great alternative to D&D as a roleplaying system. It is much easier to learn and understand, everything is based on percentages, and the system can be as mechanically crunchy or open as the DM prefers.
