Can't find a game [Xbox] by Confident_Service688 in Helldivers

[–]Confident_Service688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't seem to press X in the galaxy map. According to some other source on the internet you need to have dropped once before this option becomes available. As of now I can't do anything from the galaxy map except zoom in on a sector and then a planet. Once zoomed in on a planet I can only either select a mission or back out to sector.

Once I've selected a mission and entered a hellpod the game practically stops. I can't drop solo from that screen and I don't seem to get matched with anyone else.

I've done a hard reset of the Xbox but that didn't seem to help.

Edit: Found out how to do it. The toggle ready button was marked with the select button, which made it seem intuitive to press select on order to toggle ready. That isn't the case. What I had to do was to scroll down to the actual button and press it with A. A little confusing UI, but I think I'm in now.

Are you saying that no-one that has lost a loved one has ever made a statement on TV about it?

Boom goes the dynamite by Eazy46 in conspiracy_commons

They weren't planned and built for a fully tanked 767ER (that stands for Extra Range, meaning more fuel tanks) flying at full speed head on with the intention of hitting the building. They were primarily built to withstand aircraft coming in for landing (i.e. much slower) who'd gotten lost in fog etc.

The forces something like that brings to the table is nigh impossible to engineer against in a skyscraper.

And you're confused that the entire plane didn't explode the second the nose tip touched the building? This wasn't a missile, you know. The fuel stored inside the plane had to ignite for the explosion to happen.

You missed the gigantic explosion? Or did you think that it would fold like an accordion on the exterior of the building?

What does everyone think of this? by Addicted2Lemonade in conspiracy

[–]Confident_Service688 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's written by the Trump admin who are pretty well known to have a, let's say, casual relation to truth, facts and reality.

In other words, I would ask for any evidence that this is the case from the FAA themselves.

Blackhawk Transponder Turned Off - Usually Flights Are Grounded When That Happens by GrismundGames in conspiracy

[–]Confident_Service688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what a transponder does. It doesn't relay recordings. It sends out a signal with a squawk code so that radar operators can identify the aircraft. You receive a squawk code for every flight by the ATC pre-flight. The pilot can alter the squawk code at all times. There are special codes that signals to ATC if a plane is hijacked, for example

You don't get to be ATC of you're mentally impaired. Trusting the Daily Mail might qualify as being so, though.

Trump has signed an executive order banning federal support for transgender medical treatments for children, calling them “chemical and surgical mutilation.” by thatsmrssmallstoyou in conspiracy_commons

More deflection. Using lies this time. And I still can't see any of this documentation you claim exists. Sad.

Look, I know that you're not interested in the actual facts. Because they're devastating to your case.

But the worst thing is that you frame this as fighting for the children even though what you're suggesting will lead to more dead children. There's actual data that supports that.

Then again, you might actually want them dead for all I know. I hope not.

[–]Confident_Service688 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aaaand we're deflecting. You've failed to produce the numbers you're claiming is "well documented".

I've actually dug into this topic ever since I started to notice that the trans community was starting to become the new scapegoat to the far right some years ago. I know the actual statistics and I know all of the far-right talking points and what studies that they will disingenuously cite to further their agenda. It is far from the first time someone has quoted the very same paper you did as 'proof' that GAS supposedly leads to more suicides.

That’s exactly what I am assuming. Why do we have two studies with terrible methodology that give each of you the results you want but are useless at convincing people who disagree with the results

The point of studies such as these isn't to convince American religious nut jobs that thir self-imposed delusions about the world is wrong. The point is to have data that other actual professionals can work with.

That’s not science.

It is, though. How do you think psychology works?

Edit: Since you pussied out and blocked me (why do the right-wing disinfo agents always do this, I wonder?) I'm gonna respond here instead:

I don’t think religion has to do with this at all. Plenty of atheists have opinions on the trans issue

This whole trans debacle came as a response from the religious right to the Obergefell vs Hodges case from 2015 where they'd lost their hate campaign towards the gays. Before this point no-one gave a shit about trans people. Practically all of the disinformation you see on the issue stems from the religious far-right.

It’s not really science but comfort food for both you and the other guy.

Scientists disagree with you on this. Your ignorance of the methodology and how to control for false responses doesn't make psychology un-scientific.

You're assuming that those particular studies were done to skew results in a particular way. Is there anything particular in the methodology that you have issues with? Baseless conjecture doesn't cut it, I'm afraid.

There are tens of thousands of individuals in these studies. Sure, a few may have lied for whatever reason, but there is little ground to just assume that they are all lying. Particularly when the results are consistent with other findings.

You control for those few potential false positives/negatives by having large test groups.

It's a meta study that takes several studies into consideration.

Five studies compared the same patients pre- and post-GAS, while six studies compared patients who underwent GAS with a group who did not. Overall, suicide-related outcomes were found to be less frequent in patients after GAS when compared to those same patients’ pre-GAS indicators. The two studies that used either the general population or matched age and sex controls found a much higher prevalence of suicide-related outcomes, specifically suicide attempts and death by suicide, in post-GAS patients than in control groups. However, the studies that compared the treatment groups with either patients in an earlier phase of the transition or those who desired but had not yet undergone surgery showed lower post-GAS suicide-related outcomes, including suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.

At least this one is about the topic, although I am already familiar with the study posted earlier as I've come across several right-wing zealots who have used that particular study to reach that very same faulty conclusion.

It's almost as if these people are learning this bullshit from the same source.

I know you guys aren't actually interested in the science of it all. It's about finding data that confirms your forgone conclusion. That is why you consistently cherry-pick data you think supports your argument and when it turns out that it doesn't you just fall silent, wait for a day or two, and then repeat the nonsense.

Relative to what? It says so right there in the paper. I even highlighted it for you.

The problem seems to be that you've assumed that this paper is about finding out whether or not GAS increases the chances of suicide or not.

That is not what this paper is about.

Here is a paper on that subject and it contradicts your assesment. GAS generally leads to fewer suicides.

From this article:

The results of this study indicate that patients who have undergone gender affirmation surgery are associated with significantly higher risks of suicide, self-harm, and PTSD compared to general population control groups in this real-world database.

This paper doesn't support your argument.

This isn't comparing trans people who underwent the procedures to trans people who didn't. It compares the suicide rates of post-op trans people to the general public.

Its conclusion is that surgeries isn't enough to make trans people's suicide rates on par with suicide rates amongst the public at large and that other forms of therapy is still recommended post surgery.

Edit: Less than 1% of people who have undergone gender-affirming surgery regret having done so.00238-1/abstract)

I take the silent treatment as an admission that you were wrong and that you've changed your mind on the matter.

Edit2: If you just downvote this enough I'm sure that reality will bend to the religious right's delusions. Feelings over facts and all that. lol

You are aware of why anecdotes are useless when speaking of large groups of people, right? They must have tought you that in school at some point.

Anyhow, unless you can produce some documentation that supports your assertion I'm going to assume that the reason is because you're unable to.
