It's pricey, but this is my go to dysphoria hoodie. They even market it as a dress. I strongly recommend wearing some form of pants, leggings, or shorts as you will flash people if you so much as lean forward.

Another thing to point out is the newer car is "only" a 2009 model. We've had another 17 years since then to make them even safer still.
It'd be interesting to see how much cars have improved since then.

Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy for the PS2 had a roughly 1.5' x 2' fold out poster that had a map of the playable world with small bits of lore. It even had a short message from your uncle telling you good luck on your journey. The other side had an image of Jak & Daxter on the A-grav zoomer. This was way back in 2001.
I remember as a kid pulling it out and reading it so many times that the corner folds started to wear out.

Similarly, Ratchet & Clank also had a poster with all the weapons & gadgets you'd use with small bits of info for each item. The reverse side also had R&C, however I can't remember if Ratchet was just holding the Devastator or if they were on a grind rail.
I miss getting those with the games. It made them so much more special and unique.

That's the other thing, too. It's rare to be in a situation where you could inhale it. The only example I can think, which is also a rare situation, is if a vehicle that uses it is involved in some kind of accident and breaks the piece of carbon fiber. That could release it into the air causing you to breathe it in.

If you want a more literal, chemist answer: carbon fiber. Carbon fiber's chemical structure is surprisingly similar to Asbestos. Even though we barely use it for anything due to the difficulty in producing it, it's most likely just as harmful to us as asbestos.

Anime. I already like/want to tinker with my car so I'll just become the goth GF.

As someone who has a Toto washlet that goes on top of regular toilets, can confirm that they are awesome. Would recommend. I can't go back to regular toilets.

This may be out of your price range, but I've been very satisfied with my Logitech G915. It's a wireless, backlit, low profile (so no wrist rest necessary), mechanical keyboard with some programmable buttons on the left side. You can also adjust how bright the back light is.
I've been using it for around 5 years now and have little to complain about it. There are also three different switch choices so if you don't like the clicky sound, you can pick one of the others. I went with linear.
Again, I know it's pricey (it was $250 when I bought it), but I have had no need nor desire to look for another keyboard since.

I tried a few different names; most of them were derived from my original name. I ultimately decided on one that was pretty similar to my dead name.
I also realized a few months after picking my new name that it's an anagram for my mom's name. Except it has a D...

I'm the same age. When I graduated college 10 years ago my dad tried talking me into the air force. I'm so glad I didn't do that; I would have despised serving under this President.

They could want their copper, lumber, moose, pasties, shoreline, etc. There are many things. \s

This has been a big concern of mine. My mom has chronic health issues that gives her similar issues, and I already take after her in more ways than I'd like. I worry I'll inherit these problems if I go on HRT.
