  • Prog has anabolic properties for sure. The improved sleep alone aids constructive metabolism.

    I just meant OP’s target has a high concentration of E receptors, and any growth signal in the body increases appetite. So the magic 8-ball answer is “likely yes 👍” because E prompts tissues in the body to ask for the additional nutrients needed to develop secondary sexual characteristics, including boobs.

    The optimizations I mentioned like dietary macros and GH support merely hasten that development and maintain health in the process. She doesn’t need them for HRT to work.

    Edit: and as you can see, I’m great at parties

    This is my stance on wheel reinvention. And my pitch is similar. I offer it to juniors when it feels like they’re setting impossible expectations for themselves. But I just have to say.

    If you wait to start building until you’re sure you know everything, you will never build anything.

    Is excellent phrasing that I don’t think I’ve ever used. The truth of it is self-evident to any senior, but juniors should be able to grasp that “more” rarely increases certainty, so for training and discovery the best you can shoot for is “enough.”





  • Agreed, and these might be expressions of kindness, respect, and other genuine virtues.

    For example, prudence can mean wisdom, care warranted and given, or simply an instance of thoughtful behavior.

    Likewise decorum can refer to respectful behavior, honor deserved and given, even a gesture of good faith participation in what others value simply because you recognize it its important to them, part of them, and you want them to know they’re accepted.

    But just speaking directly, I’m not sure OP was demonstrating a lack of any of the above simply by the mildly lewd joke. Even of her grandmother was scandalized (pretty sure she wasn’t) it’d only be indecorous/unthoughful/unseemly/unkind if that was her intent.

    Given that perspective, and noting (edit: the original commenter’s) authoritative grasp of normal family and interpersonal relationships, I figured (edit: the original commenter was) lamenting that kids these days fail to accommodate the conservative mores of their elders with the level of dedication and precision that we achieved at their age. Forgive my misunderstanding.


  • To know whether any act of prudence or decorum is a feather in one’s cap is first to answer to what end and on whose behalf.

    Examples:

    Both are often invoked in the context of potential loss to those who have the most to lose.

    Self preservation is prudent. Prudence avoids loss of face …of social standing …of strategic advantage, and so forth.

    Decorum avoids offending traditional sensibilities …protects what is sacred …retains political capital …maintains institutional legitimacy.

    So both tend to be elevated as lofty virtues by those with power and authority to lose.

    Anyway I used to think similarly. What disabused me of my regard for such ideals was living among those who prudence and decorum never served.
