Yeah, lemmynsfw seems to have solid community

Probably reddit announcing some shitty monetization scheme

IMO fediverse is big enough now to serve as reddit replacement.

Also entire crypto market went 20% down in one day.

Defuck?

And central steering is prone to corruption. What do you propose then?

Considering we evolved to pass our genes, this is weird

Ok, that’s a good point.

The entire thing sounds like shooting the messenger. Why should Amazon be liable for stuff sold by third parties?

Minor injuries are common and occasionally recruits die, often because of an underlying medical condition.

What. The. Fuck.

Moses told them he had the sickle cell trait

How was he even cleared for police training in the first place? This is a serious medical condition.

This sounds like an entire chain of lethal fuckery going on

At least they bought carbon credits, which means some green energy producer elsewhere got a subsidy

Fix the energy production sector and you’ll fix the pollution

After inflating the currency, Maduro, inflated his votes apparently

Carbon removal efforts are pretty much a dead end - it’s infeasible, the amount of the investment and energy costs would be too high to run it at a meaningful scale.

So he wants to be a permanent dictator? Sounds legit considering the SCOTUS verdict about no criminal reponsibility

They don’t have language, so they can’t have the internal dialogue.

But can they have imagination? Since many animals have dreams, then why not?

I got my first severe body modification when I was 11, a defibrillator

Well, you got it tough :(

yes there’s risks to those meds, but more often than not they’re beneficial

Of course - if there’s health issue, taking medicine is perfectly justified. I would never negate that - it would be hypocritical, as I regularly take drugs for my own health issues

but hormones? nonono, that’s way too dangerous! you might be one of the 0.00000001%* of people who regret it!

Are you familiar with HRT menopausal disorder treatment in the 90s? I remember, it despite being like 10y old at the time - mostly because ads were running in TV day and night, and I don’t even live in US - this was popular world-wide. That was until in the early 2000s when very large scale testing suggested it’s linked to breast cancer.

Despite menopausal disorder treatment being approved in the 1960s, it took almost 40 years to discover the negative impact. General conclusion was that in the end it didn’t offer benefits that would justify the risks.

I’m not concerned about known risks of drugs I take - I’m generally concerned about risks I don’t know. In some cases, it can take decades to properly evaluate all pros and cons.

I’m not writing this to scare you - your life is your choice. It just the mindset of drastically modifying your body at the very, very young age, in ways that may or may not result in a long term adverse effect is genuinely concerning. This is why I would never approve either sex change surgery, nor hormonal therapy for person below 18 years old.

Not sure if you missed the bottom half of that comment. I think they meant that they wished they started to transition earlier because being forced to go without gender affirming care caused their gender/body dysmorphia to worsen

Ok, there was slight misunderstanding. My understanding was this person used testosterone before 16 year old. I assumed this because I knew dudes who took it to increase muscle mass in the middle school. I understood, there was transition therapy later.

I think if we can give kids prescriptions to fucking meth to help with differences in their brains, we can give kids puberty blockers too.

I don’t think we should do either of these things. My instinct always told me that body is a complex machinery and it comes with two unwritten instructions: Do not screw with it, and maintain properly

you have to be careful with hormones, they irreparably and permanently change your body

Yeah, I imagine. Were you properly warned about consequences before you started the therapy?

I seriously doubt these restrictions are about emotional support

gender-affirming health care

Correct me if I’m wrong, this is about sex change surgeries and hormonal therapies?
