That's good, however it still happens. Personally seen many of cases of children on puberty blockers, who knows how many there are. Regardless, it is becoming the norm to let children do as they please unless you would like to be labeled as an abusive parent. Here's the thing, getting medication for a psychological disorder should be very difficult, there's a reason countries don't just hand out Ritalin to every kid.

This is actually a very fundamental question of nature or nurture. You, and the movement of LGBT people, believe that it is nurture, and innate. Perhaps wrong brain in the wrong body, perhaps hormones, perhaps chemicals. However my position is that it's a mixture of the two, which doesn't make anyone's feelings less valid, but just means we should think twice before pumping children full of hormones (or blockers) and make sure it is something that cannot be treated with social/psychological care. If there is an element of social contagion (remember how cool anorexia used to be? Emo adjacent things?) then we have a disaster on our hands, so we should exercise precaution first.

>It's debunked

Such a bold claim for something that is very new, and isn't simple to test for. It's complex psychological/sociological chains of events that we are struggling to explain. Your quotes say: at best "we don't want to say because this term has existed for maybe a year and we have no data", at worst "the experts say no because it sounds transphobic".

You are in for a rude awakening my friend.

We had a concept for most of my lower level education: "said is dead". It was forbidden to use the word "said", even at the time I was a little suspect of the rule since every famous author uses it A LOT. However I think, as with most education, the most important thing is to send the pendulum too far in one direction, so that when it inevitably corrects itself you are in a good position.

In general I agree that creativity thrives with structure and rules, but that's exactly what the ban on "said" hopes to achieve.

>And then the biggest mistake I see people make is getting a lot of the letters in the right spot early and then just leaving them there on subsequent guesses

You may be watching people play hard mode.

That's why we are civilised. People value dignity, grovelling for drugs should make one feel shame, and acts as a decent filter for those not desperate.

I think it is the other way round. The tiny, 'selfish' fraction want to shut down the 'group' that is society because they are more at risk.

Does this sentence sound that crazy to you?

Because the powers at be in the US loved trump? Don't look at China, think about a US leak. China's government structure is built to micromanage viral outbreaks in a successful manner.

You're a fool if you think this is his personal mission and not a trend favoured by those wealthiest.

Agreed, definitely doesn't count. This nudges in \Theta which does surprise me a little

Laowhy only offers this slimey smug clickbait view of China that is exactly what American powers want people to believe. He is constantly releasing videos saying "China will fall any day now!", it is just giving people what they want to hear and it's totally reasonable for this person to point out how biased and uncritical he is.

These were all a bit limited for me. I've settled on yabai[1] (window manager) and SKHD[2] (hotkeys), cannot recommend it enough. [0] https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai [1] https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd

Of course this is kind of reductive and silly but I see the analogy as taking Ethereum as Money (abstracted labour power), there are those who have to put said labour power into the system, and those who don't. This too: "But the ruling class now feels that’s too much because it amounts to a lot of value for the work. So the ruling class changes the rule of 5 Eth per block to 4 Eth per block.", mirrors the contradiction of wages and surplus value in the capitalist mode of production. The thing is regardless of the form of abstracted labour power, those who hold large sums of a commodity are free to buy lots and make an easy turnover in the market world, resulting in easy power in most societies as well.
