120k minors were diagnosed with gender dysphoria and 17k were put on puberty blockers or pills, suggesting that even among those who get a dysphoria diagnosis, the rates for going on to medical transition are very low, around 1/8th




A null hypothesis for this is that puberty blockers are generally dangerous drugs and that many doctors do not want to deal with the liability.

It is no hidden fact that black communities hate the black cops, because generally they have an excuse to be the worst hardass they can be.


I am not particularly sure how you'd be able to get a cop that is a community member of the bad neighborhoods, while not paying them enough to not live there. Certainly not someone degreed.

Are you asking us to playbook out an insurrection to argue against you? Understand that I am hesitant to go beyond the following: The infrastructure that allows for domestic surveillance has a physical location just like the people.

And we should stop supporting Ukraine because it is enriching the military industrial complex.


I can't help but think "but other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the play?" When you bring up the idea that discussion shouldn't happen on a subject because people might be mean.

This makes me think that the format of scientific papers is a bit outdated. I wonder how many questions in material sciences could be resolved by scientists just recording and talking through their experiments.




What makes you think it is outdated rather than having always required auxiliary books and papers to describe the processes involved?


There are a large amount of books by the name of "formulary" out of copyright that solve this very issue, so I think it is more that the format was never really meant to do that.

If i might be a bit crass, paraphrasing the same objection over and over doesn't win an argument.


The reason why cannabis legalization worked is that there are only 10.1k DEA employees and they entirely rely on state and local government to be their enforcers, so states could withdraw that support and they'd not be able to fill the void.


The FBI only has 35k employees, not just special agents, and is in a similar situation with a wider breadth of requirements.


It is why nullification has always worked in the US.

Well generally if the year was 1923 rather than 2023 I'd be hard pressed to ever see a black person in much of the US, so the great migration and mass media played a role for sure.

Bird flu remains mostly a threat for chicken flocks, birds are very different from mammals and don't have as good a history of mutation to affect humans like pigs do.


There is also a variant of Ebola in swine that is hypothesized to have an airborne transmission, which is fun.


It is still mostly about food prices tho.

The pre-48 era of cars is also an era where you are pretty much doing bespoke parts and full custom builds, which hurts the wallet even more than when it spawned tuner culture.


I expect that the reprogrammed and custom ECUs that define tuners are going to have a lot more legs than you express in this post as well, particularly as modern cars get scrapped due to obscure and poorly designed CANBUS problems at higher rates.


Kustom Kulture and the "live fast, die young" mindset is also to a degree what the streetrods you visited very much were created to exclude, as expressed by an attempt to family friendly. I don't think that the aging demographic there is going to much speak to that subculture. They might more be associated with motorcycles now tho. Car meets are still fairly regular in most of the country, facilitated by social media, and I know of some deeper levels where street racing is organized.

Surely that's an act of war




More than what has been done by both sides already? For all intents and purposes they are at a low intensity war.

The claim was that he backed Hillary's bid, no? If we narrow it to Obama going for a third term then clearly not.


I'm not aware of any particular action on the part of Trump in Georgia so opening an investigation into a political rival on less than solid basis is at least equivalent.

Why makes you so sure that "we don't know" isn't an acceptable answer? Certainly beats making shit up, which is how I would frame the non-materialist position.




Because Galileo was right, but his rivals could tell you where Saturn was tomorrow and he couldn't.

The far right as limited to racial nationalists? By inflaming racial tensions so segregation becomes a fact of life and peace walls are built between racially homogeneous neighborhoods.


The far right outside of racial nationalists?


Probably far more pathways, because far less is needed to be done. Take over of the military, ect.

There was a 2008 study that shoved a bunch of stuff under an EMP simulator.


The only things that were majorly subsceptible were power grid electronics and SCADA control systems, which are major things but far from "lol my gunsight just turns off forever".


It takes a bit of finangling with combining multiple reports to get that conclusion tho. It depends a lot on just how much energy is in the air.

I am once more struck by how cookie cutter spree killings have become in the US. You'd think we'd see more truck rentals after the Islamic extremist killings using them but I suppose that doesn't get you time magazine covers and your face shoved in mine like this guy has been.

mottemods have the usual bias for longposting, but they want actual content in the same way that netflix wants content. Stuff that drives people here.


So interesting perspectives and being a political weirdo gets you rather far.
