So, I just had the realization a few days ago that i’m probably trans. I shaved my legs for the first time today and WOW! Physically it feels great, all smooth and soft, but mentally it just feels RIGHT. Like this is something i should have been doing forever. Its kind of overwhelming for such a small thing, but i just felt...
I had the same sensation as you and it was just as intense. That feeling of something “just being right”, even a small thing and so overwhelming? I remember that moment very well and it makes me happy that you got to experience it too!
Also, I would like to share how I approached the whole leg-shaving thing: For a first time shave on the legs I would go with shaving creme, because its just more effective. Especially if you start from “never shaved my legs” and go to “clean shave”, a blade might get dull, the area is to large and some spots are hard to reach on a first try. Also, buy way more cream then you think you need. I had to do that two more times, before I learnes that lessen. Not for the legs, but its a small step from “I like my legs without hair” to " I want it gone from the other places too". (Spoiler: It feelt just as great for me!)
After that is done, try getting some thigh-high socks! They can be worn under regular clothes, are comfy (and girly) as hell and offer a wide array of patterns / colors to chose from. Try getting ones that are really nice to feel on you skin. For that, you really need to try them on. Just touching the material is not enough for measuring if you like them, because the rubbing during walking needs to be felt for good judgement. Something to keep in mind: If you never shaved your legs, some clothes (especially jeans) can start to feel uncomfortable on the skin, another reason why I got the socks.
Last Point: Some lotion! It helps with potential irritations / dryness after a shave. Especially for a first shave, I would advice on that. Hidden Bonus in doing that: You get to touch,caress and really experience your now smooth legs and it is just great!
Purely economically speaking that is true, but that’s not the only relevant thing here.
Remember it’s the Chinese Government essentially harvesting massive ammounts of data. A price well worth it, if you use it later down the line in propaganda efforts, marketing strategies and “spotting potential dissidents”.
A more apt punishment would be forcing then to delete the data, prevent future harvesting or massively increase the fine to offset potential political gains.
Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?
There are a lot of reasons, but I think it boils down to the people in charge do not want the embarrassement of crawling back to the EU.
It would be total ego destruction and that is simply untennable. This is what happens when the right gets enough power to make a change and then has to experience consequences.
Just don’t ask them if the city has “special rules regarding the age of consent”. I have not forgotten how techbros handled that the last time the topic came up and the ammounts of copium huffed afterwards. “Mental maturity is more then enough” was quite the statement from the cryprosphere

Raise your hand if you are convinced this will not impact the people who pay for the blue checkmark. Meaning that a lot of Elon Fanbois / Bots / Fascists will be seen with theit shitty takes (since the checkmark pushes your comments up), while voices of reason will be dragged down further.
Twitter is rapidly becomming the new Truth Social and it’s sad to watch.
