I can’t find the study I was referring to but I did find these that back up the idea that it’s all in your head.

Sexual side effects were significantly lower in the group that was not told they were a possibility

No significant differences between finasteride users and non-user controls in reporting sexual dysfunction

I’ve been on it for almost 10 years now. It’s the most effective way to regrow hair but needs to be started before the hair follicle dies. The science speaks for itself. 90 percent of guys stop losing their hair after they start it. 75 actually regrow hair. I was in the 75%.

Also the whole “down there” problems is a myth also proven by statistics. If you’ll look into the studies where they show a low percentage of guys have ED issues you’ll also see that the control groups that received a placebo also reported ED issues less than a percent lower than the group that received finasteride. I honestly don’t understand why some doctors will list it as a side effect other than there was technically a fraction of a percent increase. As you know most ED issues in young healthy men simply come from their own minds and the fact that a placebo yielded very similar results suggests this is the case with finasteride.

Now there is proof that finasteride can lower sperm count (not semen volume) which could lead to issues having children but studies have shown stopping finasteride reverses the decrease. I remember seeing an interview with Ashton Kutcher years ago where we was talking about his hair thinning but that it was only because he went off finasteride while he and Mila had been trying to have a second child and that his hair would be thickening back up soon since he was back on the pill.

I’ve met many men on finasteride over the last decade and only one of them complained about side effects and he was an anxiety ridden hypochondriac. If you don’t want to have ED issues just don’t worry about it. It’s all in your head.

You should start to see phases of shedding followed by regrowth starting around 4 to 6 months. Don’t worry about it, it’s just the new thicker hair pushing out the old finer hair. It will probably happen several times. Year 1 to year 2 is where you’ll start to see true results. Good luck with the hair growth!

I’ve often wondered what it would be like to work in North Korea as a Chinese citizen. From what I understand scheduling is done differently in North Korea and would take some time to get used to. Apparently at Xinyizhou Station their trains change 52 times, 95 times the train for international travelers. After the arrival of the train to Beijing, the train to Beijing, the train to Beijing, after the train to Beijing, the train to Beijing, 25 times to Beijing, the train to Beijing, after the arrival of the train to Beijing, the train to Beijing, the train to Beijing, the train to Beijing, after the arrival of the train. Dandong and Pyongyang international passenger train between the two-way, Dandong to Pyongyang, 95 Beijing time at 10:00 Beijing time from Dandong station, arrived in the North Korea Xinyizhou station, the train was changed to 52 train, arrived at 18:07 local time to Pyongyang station; Pyongyang to Dandong, 51 train from Pyongyang station.

If only someone could have connected the dots between giving Israel full unchecked power to wipe large groups of people off the earth and Isreal starting a massive war that disrupts the entire world’s flow of gas.

But on that same note if both are surveillance states at least we could be governed by one that isn’t hell bent on bombing the world. And trains. We could have trains.

I had the same dread when I was your age. In hindsight I can see a lot of it was because my childhood sucked therefore my perspective on life sucked. I just didn’t know any different then. When I moved away on my own everything changed. I actually enjoyed being an adult and it all came down to freedom. I was in charge of me. I could do whatever I wanted, good or bad. Having to work to support that freedom suddenly didn’t seem so bad.

Dont give up hope. This could get the ball rolling and other countries could follow suit.

Very encouraging to hear.

Wouldn’t surprise me if his yes men were telling him it was great.

Thank you this answers my question!

TLDR basically the size and frequency of data being sent to and from a website acts like a digital fingerprint even if ISPs can’t see what’s in those data packets. Looks like there’s an easy fix by having VPNs add random background noise data.

Can anyone ELI5? From what I’m understanding all this does is give them an idea how many people are using VPNs? If that’s all why is using AI necessary?

Yeah it took me a while to get used to swiping to go back but I think I prefer it now.

I was a lifelong android user, mostly pixels, and switched to a an iPhone 14 pro 4 years ago. This is the first phone I’ve had that’s lasted 3+ years, that’s never crashed, and still runsas quickly and smoothly as when I bought it. Apple would have to seriously fuck something up for me to ever go back to an android.

Yep. Haven’t talked to my dad since January.

Quick someone feed the troll!

Oh look a little baby troll. So cute and fluffy!!

I think maybe the wording in your title is throwing people off because as a lot of people are pointing out we CAN make make choices that limit the amount of enshittification we experience in our own lives. Seems like what you’re trying to say is choosing not to support enshittification doesn’t stop companies from continuing enshittification.
