As you can probably gather, my mother is not well mentally or physically.

Yeah, does seem so. I guess that's at least somewhat better than it actually having happened, though? Probably doesn't help your stress levels that much, but it's something.

Testosterone as a supplement is common enough I get fucking snail mail spam about it, far as I'm aware estrogen or related stuff is bog standard use for a number of things, too. Hormone usage has been more or less completely uncontested as unusual or out of place except when it's used for gender affirming care, specifically.

Except giving birth and fertilizing for birth. That's not a "must do" but it's the one thing you can say make up gender roles.

I mean, that's not actually true? There's folks born sterile or with otherwise nonfunctioning reproductive organs for whatever reason. Most cultures don't consider them some kind of non-gender because of it.

I'm pretty sure nenj has mentioned they have spent time diligently telling the side channel stuff to sod off, to no avail, if my memory's not failing me. Youtube's just been rather literally remarkably persistent in recommending this particular whoever they are.

But yeah i'm over here and i think nenj talking about them is the only time i've seen the name, so :V

I think it's been over a year since I opened a TVtropes link, heh. None open now. WH40k -- Game Workshop's stuff in general -- I've been avoiding since a while back. Them fucking with modders and whatnot a ways back bought them some ill will.

Eyeballing the firefox sea, it's like... 3/5ths music/gaming related youtube vids, 2/5ths reading/reading adjacent (manga, webcomics), and then maybe 1/5th life-maintenance junk (bills, etc.) and miscellaneous (i.e. b12 and such). The tablet's opera ocean (can't even estimate, but it's somewhere well over 300) is probably 9/10ths reading, 1/10th stuff-not-that. I close tabs pretty regularly, but, like. I read voraciously, on the tune of a trade paperback's worth daily as a baseline, slow-day-busy-with-other-things level, and I'll bounce between several stories at once, follow recs several layers down, open stuff up for later perusal, etc. The behavior translates to wandering around let's play stuff and music, too.

It's definitely not common browsing behavior, but it's genuinely not difficult to build up like this if you're just willing to roam a bit and don't close tabs until you're proper done with it and don't intend to come back or branch off.

I'm not nearly as extensive at work, but I still end up with a few dozen tabs pretty regularly (on top of a bit under a dozen baseline, pre-opened to sites I use regularly, there's like six on chrome and then another four or five on firefox, there), especially when I'm dealing with batches of books that might have me looking at several dozen individual items more or less at the same time or in rapid sequential order. It's just a matter of opening tabs as needed and leaving them up if there's a possibility you might come back to it in the near future for some reason. Saves you from having to navigate back or whatever if the page you'd need to use is already up.

A fair amount of it all is just 'cause I don't like using bookmarks. I've found I'll regularly come back to open tabs, sooner or later, but bookmarked stuff just never gets seen again. Something about it functionally being stuck in a filing cabinet as opposed to still sitting on your desk means it ne'er gets touched again, y'know?

Relatively quick check has laptop firefox at ~784 tabs open (+/- 22, I might have added twice or failed to add one count). Works fine, though I sorta' have to close it occasionally to let the memory impact shrink back down. It goes up as you actually look at more distinct tabs.

Tablet opera has... I'unno, several hundred, too. Harder to count on that. It's vaguely amazing it's working at all, even while crashing regularly, tbh. It's incredibly obvious at this point I'm putting way too much stress on the poor thing, heh.

Bookmarks are for plebs, just leave the website open forever.

Most of the time, at the least. Poor thing only has 2-3% of the global browser share, unfortunately(?).

... which, I mean. Still puts it in like the top five most used browsers, but considering the top 2 holds like 80-90% of the market between them (if that makes you hear distant voices chanting trust bust, you're in a healthy mental state), well...
