    Curiosity May Have Found Ancient Martian Life Signs

    No, I did not mean bad news for religous fundementalists (but I presume that would be bad news for them also). :) It would be bad news because it means that humanity as a whole is more likely to die off. It basicly has something to do with the question why we have so far never seen any signs...

    Curiosity May Have Found Ancient Martian Life Signs

    I just want to note that if this proves to be true and there was any form of life on mars, that it is not good news at all. But to be honest I don't think that that will be the case.

    Isn't there room for both men and women in AAA gaming?

    You should take a look at this article by Anjin Anhut: http://howtonotsuckatgamedesign.com/2013/12/marketers-fear-female-geek-2/ I would say it pretty much sums up what the problem with marketing (especially in games) is. (Also Anjin is a pretty cool guy, has very interesting stuff on his blog)

    Jimquisition: Why An Always-On DRM Console Would Be Dumb Dumb Dumb

    Great episode as always. But I have one question: Does anyone know where to get/listen to the new background music? It's awesome (and I think it's by Danny B.?)

    Transgender Q & A

    As an annoyed writer said, that's not really accepting but rather tolerating trans people. But that's your own decision and doesn't bother me. But I want to adress one thing. This is not really adressed at you personally but I read it a lot and just want to give my thoughts about it. Being...

    Transgender Q & A

    That would be cool, actually. :D As for the voice training: Like Psykoma said, I wouldn't recommend and trans person to undergo vocal surgery because the results vary a lot and the risk of loosing your voice completely is extremly high! But I'm interested in what other transpeople think...

    Transgender Q & A

    I love answering questions. :) Before: None. After: A few somewhat positive, but I'm not really sure yet. And some basicly went... well: "You're disgusting and still a man." If I would ever get into a serious relationship I would tell my partner pretty early on. I think it is important to...

    Transgender Q & A

    Sure. :) I would show you how I sound now, but I don't really want to post stuff from me here. So instead: In this video she even shows how her voice sounded before, which is really funny (I sometimes like doing this myself and scare the shit out of my friends). :D This gal has a lot of...

    Transgender Q & A

    No problem :) I'm not post-op, but since no one has replied to you yet, I though I might answer it. 1. So far it's been about a year. Had my coming out in Nov 2011, went to a therapist in the beginning of 2012 and started hormone therapy mid 2012. And if everything goes well, I will have...

    Transgender Q & A

    For FtM transsexuals it is mostly not that hard, since because of testosterone they will go through male puberty and their voice will change accordingly. But if your a MtF trans it is a lot more difficult, since once you had your voice break, it will not go back just through hormones. So yes...

    Question to girls who've suffered from body image 'issues'

    It seems to me like I could have written that. It is the same for me. Whenever I get a compliment or one of my friends says how different I look now, somewhere in the back of my mind I still think, that they're only saying it because they don't want to upset me. I don't know, somedays when I...

    Question to girls who've suffered from body image 'issues'

    Yeah, I know how that feels. Being tg is probably the only reason that my self-image is so f*cked up. I guess the only thing anyone could say that would make me stop thinking that I'm disgusting is something like "I love you". Because then the other stuff wouldn't matter... probably.

    Why not adopt?

    Germany. It's a bit complicated. There is a kind of relationship same sex couples can engage in which is called "registered partnership". But it does not grant as many rights as a real marriage, for example: You can't adopt a child as a couple. So, if you are in a registered partnership, you...
