As far as I can tell the military believes this and keeps telling presidents this time they can just go bomb things and win. It might need a leadership change there instead of in the white house really

Tons of webforums have donation links or premium memberships. People will pay for their name to be displayed in a different color and basically nothing else, and it's not super hard if you have a few hundred users to pay for servers this way.
It's a fine model so long as you don't need it to scale to one million active users.

It depends on how you define sex. Hormones cover most expressions from chromosomes already. Skull reconstruction could be better? Maybe some way to really rework skeletons and adjust height and hips or shoulders? But that's more on the cosmetic end.
Or if you want at will, it would be good to have some way to radically speed up changes. You're still looking at 3-8 years for some things.

Wives organizing social events, I think is part of the conventional wisdom? And more communal work and eating together after work etc.

It can be scary and hard to approach, but I would think you're not unexceptional or unimportant to your loved ones. Maybe you should talk to your wife about this at some point? It sounds like you're starting on this with date nights too which does seem good.
I hope you can find something that helps you feel like you're not just treading water, though.

It advances every so often. We might have womb transplants in the next decade, surgical techniques get more and more refined, etc.

Doing things to share them with others is pretty normal in a hobby. You might be baking for friends and family or sewing clothes or whatever, and want to enjoy the recipients appreciation for it. If people don't accept your gifts, the satisfaction of it will go away, and the same is often true of small coding projects I think.

It seems like one of those things that only works if you're sticking to one ecosystem.

They'll destroy the prestige of it by doing this, though. Unfortunately the OSS model will have to change to cut them off now, and the more people rush it the faster that response will happen.

What's the justification for the phone or chat cancellation anyway? I get why they do it to make more money but it seems like it would be kind of nakedly extractive to explain the policy to anyone.

This is banning users who are cruel, not banning the model from being cruel right?
So in principle it shouldn't change the model or performance at all, they're just going to cut off your account if they see certain things in the user side of your session transcripts.

You don't have to go that far for bad stuff Spotifys done - at minimum they used pirated libraries back at their start, etc, and they've overall contributed to less payouts for artists. Kind of the Uber of music.

Arguably he reduced the payout of real musicians by doing this, so he did harm real people too.
