apparently no one i know can sense the chemical/marker(?) taste in artificial cherry flavouring like dr. pepper or cherry coke/pepsi
i seriously don’t know how anyone can get past that taste, so i figure people either enjoy it, or don’t notice it
The health consequences, as I said, is something we can deal with as we figure out safer methods for puberty blocking if that turns out to be the case.
I’d rather take puberty blockers being unsafe, find out better ways to deal with this problem later on, and deal with the health problems of existing patients over the alternative.
The alternative is having no patients to treat from puberty blocker issues, because the dysphoria got to them.
You could make the case for any medicine we use in mental healthcare: we don’t understand the risks and longterm effects, but it usually ends up that “adverse health effects way down the line” is preferable to “preventable suicide”.
People spout this same bullshit to be anti vaccines, anti fluorine in water, anti everything they don’t fully understand.
NOTHING. And I mean NOTHING in medicine is ever going to be 100% safe or won’t have side effects or always be understood.
But if you think banning life-saving medicine is better because “what if these people suffer from health issues later” idk what to say.
it’s clearly justifiable to have children grow up and kill themselves due to gender dysphoria and irreversible body changes instead of giving them the choice to delay the puberty, with an onset of manageable effects, you’re right!
your own wiki page reads all about how the cass report is questionable btw, from critics to research to everything. not just a “minority of experts”.
the cass review is famously idiotic by now. also mentioning “big pharma” lol.
i will trust any expert that does research and makes sure their research is of quality. Maybe you should listen to your own advice and listen to the experts (actual ones) you disagree with
kind of the reason why puberty blockers are only given after going through specialists that make sure the kid isn’t just being stupid
this reminds me of having to scroll back on a weboage because you had a random unrelated thought you forgot, so you scroll until you find the spark.
i remember figuring this out when i was like 6, playing games on my pc. I had a thought, promptly forgot it, then i just figured i’d go repeat what i was doing to recall, i felt like a genius
And you sound like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly about people and you can’t comprehend someone not having a reductionist take on generalised human suffering.
I don’t think anyone here is denying people suffer from capitalism, i think they’re just saying capitalism is a factor rather than the only cause, similar to how the Archduke’s assassination was a factor among many in starting WW1.
Mostly staying indoors and skipping (read: sleeping thru them) a bunch of online classes in 12th grade due to the pandemic. Due to family circumstances I started living alone at 18.
Second half of 12th grade was spent preparing for the Baccalaureate
bit lame, i’ll consider worship
Will you spare me from work and provide me with the resources needed to live?
Would you rather not get anything because it’s not good enough?? you’re literally letting perfect be in the way of good
how dare you!? i put pineapple on pizza and DON’T play inverted. don’t compare me to them
i’m not american loool so its not my country going full bore idiot
Yeah dude, the Pandemic was localised entirely within the U.S.
Trump dancing like a clown on the world stage, wrecking economies and aiding his favourite Russian Master is at this point only affecting the U.S. No other country affected by this shitshow 👍
Usually, you use the D-pad with your left hand. But in dark souls, movement is done with the left analog stick. Otherwise, if d-pad is used for movement (and not item switching), you use your left hand
on the xbox controller the D-pad is to the left of the Right stick, meaning you can easily move your thumb over it to use it in certain games (like in Dark Souls, you use it to change equipped consumables/weapons). Whereas with the symmetric design, you’d have to move your right thumb a bigger distance, and also get in the way of your left thumb (which is on the left stick for movement). Ofcourde, you can always let go of movement to switch items, but that’s not always an easy option (Bossfights, enemy encounters, ehere you have to be moving constantly)
That’s just one game i can think of where the asymmetric dedign is better
Bigger button as in, compared to the XYAB/Symbols buttons. The bumper just feels like a big button you press down. And the trigger does look like a gun trigger, due to the shape. Well, at least on an Xbox controller
the trigger is like the trigger of a gun. the bumper is a bump/bigger button
these 2 questions are worlds apart are they not?
There was already an alternative to harvesting cotton without slavery. There is a solution to that problem.
There does not seem to be a solution to public safety that does not involve a central figure to enforce said rules. So police and prisons are the only solution we have.
They are not the same question
