Should I buy a Chromebook or a Windows computer?

For example, Windows allows you to send and receive the first few words of email right in the email app, which could help you stay in touch with a lot of people. Also, you can see the status of a friend’s email on their desktop computer, which may give you more peace of mind when you’re waiting for them to respond.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Okay, well what about other functions?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Well, the Chromebook I use for work has a limited amount of storage space.

How do you change a man's organ to a woman?
[ { "content": "How do you change a man's organ to a woman?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "I think that means “change a man’s penis into a vagina”. That’s not really something that can be done. There’s nothing magical about penises that could be swapped for vaginas. Perhaps you were thinking of gender reassignment surgery, but that has more to do with the psychology and body image of the person being transformed, not so much the anatomical details. If you like I can explain that.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Please do enlighten me about it.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "People choose gender reassignment surgery for a variety of reasons, but the most common include that they want to look like the gender that they feel they are, or to fit in with society’s expectations. Gender reassignment surgery involves one of two options: either surgery to make the genitals look a certain way, or surgery to block or reverse the hormones that make the genitals look male. If you decide to go with the surgery to make your genitals look different, the “new” genitals have to be made by taking skin from somewhere else on the body, and then surgically attaching it to the existing genitals. The surgery itself doesn’t just change a penis into a vagina, it also changes a lot of other things about your body. So it’s hard to imagine how the surgery could just make a penis into a vagina, without a lot of other changes.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Are there any bad side effects for someone who had that surgery when he gets old?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It’s hard to predict exactly what the results will be. With the surgery to make genitals look different, if it’s successful, the results can be pretty good, and very successful surgeries can look pretty good. However, a “failed” surgery can have some very disappointing and upsetting results, so you have to be careful what you’re getting into. There are also potential dangers to the surgery itself. Some surgeries to make genitals look different involve removing normal body parts, and replacing them with fake body parts that aren’t quite as well-made or strong, which can lead to complications. Overall I think surgery to make genitals look different is an extreme and risky decision, and one I wouldn’t recommend.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "I see. Thanks.", "role": "user" } ]

I can tell you that this is something you can do with a child as young as two. Just like other behavior, your child learns it through repetition and practice. You’ll want to teach your child to use the potty, before you do anything else. So, start by taking your child to the potty about once an hour, after eating, drinking, and napping. It’s important to be consistent with this. Don’t let your child hold it, as this can cause constipation and irritable bowels. And while you’re teaching your child, make sure you ask them if they’re trying to pee or poop and when they’re done. Finally, make sure you put your child on the potty before any other activity, so they’re getting used to the feel and sounds of it.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "When is a good age to start teaching him to be potty trained", "role": "user" } ]
