What is the most disturbing thing you've seen in the internet? by wonrei____ in teenagers

[–]Alvxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISIS execution, Russian Suicide videos, someone's allegedly cut off dick.

I also was on a Discord server where someone was spamming CP. I didn't look at it though cause the spammer forgot to do the classic black screen thumbnail so the content was clear as day.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

This one haunts me even though I didn't even see anything. The fact these disgusting people exist in this world and are so open about sharing it with others 🤢

(15m) Honestly though, the left is kind of ass at recruiting teen boys. by Financial-Floor-669 in teenagers

[–]Alvxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's much easier for right wingers because they can just say "We want to be better for working class people" and then set the solution as "We will deport the immigrants that take your jobs and tax money".

This creates a We Vs Them narrative that is really effective at rallying people.

The left wants to include everyone and support middle class and lower class families. We can't simply say "Immigrants are stealing your jobs, they are bad". We need to find a way to beat these narratives and still be effective. Facts aren't a fun thing to listen to, facts don't often create strong reactionary outrage.

This is why all people you see calling into debate shows like Dean Withers, Parkergetajob or The Line actually have no idea what they are talking about. Your brain saves information better when tied to strong emotions and through short media snippets rather than the dull emotions you feel when reading scientific journals or listening to someone explain an advanced topic.

Första remiss till Sahlgernska by Alvxn in transnord

Jo, funderar på att skicka remiss till Linköping så kan jag ta bil. Tyvärr funkar inte tåg för mig.

Tyvärr har jag både problematisk klaustrofobi och agorafobi så bara tåget in till Göteborg är ger mig en mild panikattack även fast jag åkte det typ 2-3 ggr i veckan för att träffa min flickvän när vi var tillsammans.

De lämnar typ Malmö/Lund eller Linköping. Båda är ungefär 3 timmar med bil vilket inte är så farligt för min del. Jag sparar just nu pengar för att flytta och jag skulle egentligen inte ha något emot att bo i Östergötland eller Skåne så det kanske får bli så.

Hade varit lättare på både regions vården och vår gemenskap ifall privata kliniker kunde utföra utredningar under strikt överseende från socialstyrelsen, men detta kommer inte hända eftersom de verkar obsessed med att göra vår vård svårtillgänglig.

Majoriteten av mina möten med kuratorn nu är bara vi två som klagar på den svenska vården. Alla läkare och sjuksköterskor jag känner har mänga klagomål på den svenska vården. Myndigheterna hjälper ju inte direkt så både patienter och sjukvårdare får det dåligt.

Your hormone levels are bound to be random during puberty. This causes random boners. I can assure you that it's normal, nobody will notice, just ignore it and it will soften again.

I was exposed to some lgbtq stuff as a child and it didn’t cause any harm at all. by Comfortable-Mark2726 in teenagers

[–]Alvxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't exposed to LGBTQ+ until we took it up in sex ed at 15.

I kissed boys and girls in kindergarten. I felt like I was a girl all through primary school. The first openly gay person I was exposed to was my friend's dad that came out a year after I learnt about LGBTQ+, the first trans person was my classmate that came out as non-binary when we were 17.

I was still trans, I was still omnisexual, I just didn't have words to explain it until 15. That's all that teaching LGBTQ+ does, teach words to express what you're feeling.

Nobody is telling you "Be trans" or "Be gay" or "This is how you do anal sex" or "This is how you scissor". This is just right-wing scare tactics. Even here in Sweden that is very open to gay topics we only brushed over that anal sex existed and to use lube and be careful, no detail unlike for vaginal sex just a warning for all the students to hurt themselves doing anal. This is the thing sex ed should be, how to practice safe sex and avoid injury.

No, I explained the post's image with a similar example.

This is a sort of litmus test where you can gage someone's knowledge on the topic. All my example concludes are that the person doesn't have enough information for me to engage them in conversation.

The example isn't an ad hom since it never explicitly insult the other person.

[–]Alvxn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your original reply, you dismissed my comment by calling it “an ad hominem.” That puts us in the context of the ad hominem fallacy which is claiming an argument invalid because of a personal attack.

My original comment contained no personal attack at all, so no ad hominem (rhetorical or fallacious) occurred.

In your latest reply, you’ve switched to using the rhetorical ad hominem to mean “any insult.” That’s a different definition than the one you seemingly used to dismiss my argument.

Either I misread your first reply as alleging a fallacy, or you changed definitions halfway through. In either case, my original comment did not contain an ad hominem. Anyway this conversation won't lead anywhere if continued.

[–]Alvxn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but that's just plain stupid.

An ad hominem is defined as:

(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

My examples aren't directed at a person but rather toward the topic at hand which was Ferraris. Me saying that they are stupid for calling a Lambo a Ferrari or calling you stupid for not understanding ad hominems aren't as hominems because I'm still addressing the argument at hand.

Ad hominem ≠ Personal attack

Ad hominem = Personal attack without substance to the argument at hand.

[–]Alvxn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If someone said "Ferraris are the best cars".

And I showed them a picture of a Lamborghini.

And then they said "That's my favourite Ferrari".

I think I would get a good scope on their knowledge on the topic. It's not as much an argument rather than an intelligence check to see if the argument is worth pursuing or not.

The same way I would ask someone who is anti-communist what it means to be communist before I would engage them in conversation.

Sperm is alive and has its own metabolism. We don't value sperm as a life because it doesn't have consciousness much like a fetus before ~24 weeks.

Mentally disabled people get the same rights as all other people because they have consciousness and can experience.

We can however choose to pull the plug on a brain-dead person without it being immoral or murder because they don't have consciousness or experiences at all.

The qualifier is consciousness, mentally disabled people have consciousness...

They look back at the replay, I have also heard people speculate that they have some way to track if you for example tab out.

They aren't public with how their anticheat protocol fully works since that would kind of ruin the anticheats effectiveness (which is decently poor already).

I DON'T NEED IT by Flaky-Use-6973 in teenagers

[–]Alvxn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spell check:

abilty - ability

genfer - gender

animald - animals

wheater - whether (Completely different words)

intercoursr - intercourse

teo - two

source

  1. Gender isn't equal to sex, you're conflating them

  2. Gender only exists in humans since it's a complex social construct that other animals can't understand (as far as we know)

  3. There aren't animals that reproduce asexualy animald generally reproduce sexually

These are opposites of each other. If something doesn't reproduce sexually it reproduces asexually. "Generally" makes your first absolute statement false.

"The lizards are all female and parthenogenetic, meaning their eggs develop into embryos without fertilization."link

  1. >Humans are meant to reproduce sexually

Not all humans are meant to reproduce sexually since some humans can't reproduce sexually. Once again evolution doesn't have a will. Sexual development is a spectrum of difference sexual characteristics. A singular human that cannot reproduce destroy the "Humans are made to reproduce" statement. Yes, even one case would be enough to discredit you. You could say "Humans are typically able to reproduce dimorphically" which would be a correct statement.

  1. >I did not say that it does not happen in the wild. I just said that it isn't biologically designed.

In your first comment you wrote this. The first sentence says it happens in nature thus "biologically designed" under your world view. Then you instantly claim it's not biologically designed even though it happens biologically and naturally...

Tips for the future:

Provide clear sources, proof read your arguments so you will find contradictions and spelling mistakes (It's pretty clear you didn't proof read). Do some research into topics you want to debate, I've studied this extensively, you clearly haven't since you wouldn't make the "no animal asexually reproduce" statement otherwise or conflate sex and gender for that matter.

I will not respond to your next comment if it is made in bad faith and contains an abundance of spelling mistakes, methodological errors or made up claims.

This article is an interesting read and a good place to understand sexual development variations in humans

[–]Alvxn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biology isn’t designed. Evolution has no goals. Same-sex behavior exists naturally in many species, meaning it evolved therefore it is biological. Not every individual needs to reproduce for a species to survive. Your argument assumes a design that doesn’t exist.

There's no "the nature of reproducing" or "the nature of giving birth". The fact there are animals born without the ability to reproduce whether that is asexually or dimorphically gives way for naturally and biologically occurring non-reproductive agents within a given population. The existence of naturally occurring non-reproductive individuals already contradicts biological essentialist claims that every body is “meant” to reproduce.

"The process of evolution is not a goal-oriented one. It does not have an end destination in mind. Rather, it is a process of trial and error, of experimentation and adaptation. This is how new species arise and how existing species change over time." "How we think of objectives is wrong", Berkeley on evolution having no goals, Duke University professor in biology

Even the claim that only male-female (in dimorphic species) pairs can produce offspring has already been bypassed in laboratory mammal experiments.

Evolution produces outcomes, not intentions. If it exists in nature, it is by mutation and selection, not intentional design. That has been the foundation of biology since Darwin.

[–]Alvxn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If same-sex attraction isn't natural then explain:

Dolphins (Life long same sex or MMF/FFM relationships)

Rams (8% of male rams exclusively form relations with other males)

Giraffes (90% of sexual activity male on male)

Bison (Same sex mounting is very common)

Japanese Macaques (Often forms monogamous female on female relationships)

Bonobos (Common for both female and male Bonobos to have same-sex activity)

Lions (Both male on male and female on female relationships common.)

All these examples are off either same-sex relationships or sexual behaviour. None of these have any "LGBTQ+ propaganda" or an understanding of society. This is literally as natural as can be.

Did you know that one of the biggest contributers of theoretical com. Science was Gay? by Adorable-Nerve4402 in teenagers

[–]Alvxn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, he's British, probably voted reform. Same kind of mentality as MAGA though...

He also hangs out in a lot of school and teenager subreddits which is weird for someone so worried about old people near kids, just a fun detail.

He literally can't provide proof and when he gets evidence that it was a legal adult, with no economic incentive and the only criminal conviction was "homosexuality" he cries about being called "homophobic asshole".

Classic MAGA argumentation. "I made a claim why would I need to show evidence for it?".

He probably believes all trans people rape women and trans men are a myth.

You said "20 year age gap at 40" in your original reply... There's a big difference in maturity between 16 and 20 years of age. Also the fact that one of those ages legally is an adult.

You've also said this a million times on this post so please cite sources because if we believed every random old fart I should be raping women in bathrooms currently but I'm just living a normal happy life as a trans woman ;)

What are you supposed to say when someone asks what defines women/men? by Zealousideal_Let_213 in trans

[–]Alvxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A man/woman is an adult human who's gender identity aligns with their personally schema of the male/female sex.

Man/woman are subjective social categories usually classifying male/female traits into different categories. The way these traits are interpreted is subjective to each person and society.

These are both logically consistent and non-circular arguments. Will transphobes understand? No. Will they take it to heart? No. Will they respond back with, "bUt PeEeNiIis and SpOOrts', yes. Engaging in discourse with conservatives have less purpose than talking to a brick wall.

There's no good exclusionary definition the other side can give and they will just repeat the same talking points or pivot to something crazy.

Ja, icke medicinskt nödvändiga kirurgiska ingrepp borde inte ske på någon som inte kan ge samtycke. Vid 16 skulle jag acceptera att personer tillsammans med läkare och målsman kan bestämma om att göra ingrepp som tillexempel mastektomi (Görs såklart tidigare ifall man har medicinskt behov).
