There are websites that can swap between simplified and traditional Chinese characters
in my experience learning characters I needed to learn how to write them, starting from basic strokes - there are some good videos on youtube, you have to be patient, this takes a long time
for traditional characters and Taiwan dialect you'd want to learn bopomofo and not pinyin, for the reasons other people raised. From what I have seen bopomofo would also help learning the basic strokes and some radicals
i found a podcast called Dimsum Pinyin really really helpful for training my ears to tones, and pinyin in general, but there are likely better resources from ROC. There's probably a lot out of ROC, if you look for 'comprehensible input' videos itll help.
hanping dictionary app and pleco dictionary were really helpful when i started, they both have paid features showing stroke order for characters
Ive seen people say you dont need to learn hanzi, but it's not only fun, it's really helped me remember words. If I hear a phrase and can identify the characters, it's much easier to remember what it means. the character for cat, 猫 mao, is a radical for dog 犭quan, grass 艹 cao, and field 田 tian
The Jevons paradox (pronounced /ˈdʒɛ.vənz/, JEV-ənz) or Jevons effect is an economic phenomenon said to occur when technological improvements that increase the efficiency of a resource's use lead to a rise, rather than a fall, in total consumption of that resource.[1][2][3][4] Greater efficiency reduces the amount of the resource needed per application, lowering its effective cost; if demand is sufficiently price elastic, this induces demand, frequently resulting in a net increase of total resource consumption
That teddybear has a 𐀏 (unicode crosshair) on it's chest, which is a symbol used widely by neo-nazis, i think this was at one point one of those cutesey femme nazi memes (yes, theyre real)
i dread to imagine the obscenity behind that lazy edit, why did you post this?
Finally able to navigate past the WhatCD’s homepage—a mysterious login screen that read, “Beyond here is something like a utopia”—I familiarized myself with their textbook-length list of rules, and spent countless hours combing through everything the website had to offer.
A world where people read Da Rulz is still possible
obvs talk to a doctor about it, but in my experoence cypro was really bad for me, and i was only taking a quater pill every 3 days (it has a 70+ hour half life)
a friend who was taking a whole pill every day ended up damaging their liver
i know wanting to nuke your T is a pretty powerful urge, it makes me feel so icky, but a little bit of T is really important and ultimately good for you. A lot of older women end up taking T to boost their levels.
I stoppped taking it as it tanked my mental health
anyway, congrats again, make sure you keep getting your hormone levels checked with blood tests x

I know there are groups local to me who organise almost entirely on discord, I cannot understand why they choose to do this, even before everything discord has proven to be a very insecure platform
I have cd's from the 80s, they last if you look after them, but i also think older ones were 'better', i've definitely had CDRs that have had the printed layer start flaking off
The last one i saw was reported by the times of israel as a jealous ex boyfriend, and the victim was described as basically just a girl, not a member of mossad cyber whatever, lemme find it

anyway, rambling while i procrastinate, good luck

israel has a real repressive censorship regeime, be critical
