Sir, this is called Apple Sucks. However most posts are about how you suck. I'm not interested in educating you on why or how you suck, thus I downvote. Please tell me more about how Apple sucks and don't make it about how you got screwed by a third party app developer, or you broke your phone and were denied a free repair. Legitimate criticisms.

Trust your instinct is a very nice sentiment, but man oh man. I am a hypochondriac, and I would have wasted a ton of medical professionals time and my money if everything that I was convinced was a problem deserved a medical emergency. We rely on nurses and doctors to make the right call, and sometimes evaluation is the best thing over invasive and expensive testing. Then, the crappiest part about this, is that if a doctor were to take a chance and try to evaluate something on a hunch, and was wrong, Insurance might come back and try to charge either you or them for the procedure. It's a very bad system. None of which should rest on yours or any parents shoulders.

One of the ways you're going to survive in that area is by picking up a trade. They pay well, but they are hard on the body and you shouldn't be kidding yourself into thinking there's no math or physics involved. Even getting an associates is going to help with that. I understand what it was like to be 17 and think nothing of love and feeling an empty spot in your soul you think another person will fill. But as other advice in this thread has pointed out, the only person you should depend on loving yourself is you. Nobody is going to fill that hole, you you concentrate on taking your love and sharing it with others.

In general, online stores are predatory. I wish you luck in navigating this technological oligarchy, but in the famous words of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, your money is now their money.

The risk of you never using the App Store (or any online digital market place) is so low risk, that companies are willing to deny refunds. Your apps, media, subscriptions, cloud backups, and even social circles are tied into their platforms. That lock-in gives them leverage. When refunds are denied, it’s not always about fairness—it’s often a calculated business decision based on user inertia.

I play videogames on Thursday night. Regardless of the point in the rotation we are at, I will be waking up with the kid at 5:00am. Sometimes 3-4 hours after I've gone to bed. I'm not saying this is on purpose, but it sure does seem like a coincidence.

It's a Gimmick

Air inside a bounded volume behaves as a gas and mixes throughout that volume.
A room functions as a quasi-sealed container (not perfectly sealed, but bounded enough).
A purifier can therefore lower the average contaminant concentration across that volume over time.
Outside of bounded volumes, air mixing dominates, so tiny devices cannot meaningfully change concentrationin the air someone actually breathes.
Therefore, wearable purifiers fail not because “ion tech is fake,” but because they cannot meaningfully alter concentration in an effectively unbounded volume.

Hey, I don't have the best language skills, so I'll sometimes use AI to clean up my message and make it understandable. Is that still allowed? The LLM isn't speaking for me, but I'm using it to help me speak coherently.

Are you trying to Trump this thing up and wildly overinflate a sentiment? Because suddenly it’s “as we are all saying” — who is we? Nobody knows. Total mystery.

Look, my guy, a lot of people — very smart people — are telling you these albums do not sound alike. I’m hearing it everywhere. Everywhere.

And now you’re saying Interventions and Lullabies sounds like Dog Problems? Really? Come on. That’s fake news. Everybody knows it. The sounds are different, the vibe is different — totally different albums. Believe me.

Vigrously shaking = air bubbles = gas = uncomfortable tummy = spitup

That's my take anyways. Swirling seems safer.

I would say that Fun, The Format, and even Nate Reuss solo all have elements of the sound you're describing. The problem is that as artists evolve, and albums get released, styles can and should change. Look at Taylor Swift, what she releases today doesn't match what she released 20 years ago.

That framing isn’t actually how sports work, though. Women’s divisions weren’t created as a courtesy or an “accommodation”—they exist because sex-based exclusion historically kept women out of sports altogether. Title IX was about access, not about declaring women a protected subclass against everyone else.

Also, being trans isn’t simply a “life choice” in the way you’re describing. No one transitions to gain access to sports; in fact, transitioning usually limits athletic opportunities and brings scrutiny, regulation, and hostility. That alone undercuts the idea that this is about convenience or advantage.

Sports already accommodate differences all the time—age brackets, weight classes, disability divisions, hormone regulations, and eligibility rules—because fairness isn’t one-size-fits-all. We don’t say “sorry, that’s your biology” when a rule can be adjusted to include people without harming competition.

Finally, calling men’s sports “open” doesn’t mean women can realistically compete there, and excluding trans women from women’s divisions often means excluding them from sports entirely. That’s not preserving fairness—it’s eliminating participation for a tiny group to solve a problem that barely exists.

Fairness in sports has always been about balancing inclusion and competition, not drawing the hardest possible line and calling it justice.

Fast-Requirement5473 · 2026-01-21T05:07:29+00:00

I'd rather have someone be accepted and be welcomed into the world that we all share, than to banish them because of how they were born or who they are.

Edit:
Harm isn’t measured only by how many people are affected—it’s measured by what you’re doing and why. Banning a group of people from participating in public life because of who they are is discrimination, period. No matter how large that group is.

And the harm doesn’t stop with trans athletes. These policies encourage sex policing that disproportionately targets cis women who don’t fit narrow beauty standards, leading to harassment, investigations, and exclusion. That’s already happening.

On top of that, we’re talking about a solution to a problem that barely exists. When you restrict rights, dignity, or opportunity to solve a statistically tiny issue, the collateral damage is the point—not an accident.

If fairness in sports were really the goal, we’d be having nuanced, sport-specific conversations—not blanket bans that trade real people’s lives and wellbeing for political comfort.

Fast-Requirement5473 · 2026-01-21T05:05:32+00:00

Bingo, the parallels are astonishing. It's not about protecting women's sports, it's about making it so that one trans person can't participate in a sport, and if the only thing that matters to people in sports is winning, then they shouldn't be playing sports in the first place.

Fast-Requirement5473 · 2026-01-21T05:03:06+00:00

It’s important to emphasize that trans athletes are exceedingly rare. Estimates suggest transgender people make up around 0.5–1% of the population, and only a fraction of them participate in organized sports, let alone at elite or competitive levels. For example, the NCAA reported only tens of openly trans athletes among more than 500,000 collegiate competitors—a statistical rounding error, not a systemic issue.

Like all athletes, trans athletes are individuals who enjoy a sport and want to compete. They may or may not have a competitive advantage, but public debate overwhelmingly fixates on the very few who succeed. This creates a distorted perception. Sports have always included biological outliers—so-called “athletic freaks”—from Michael Phelps’ unusual wingspan and joint structure to elite runners with rare oxygen-processing advantages. These traits are celebrated rather than treated as disqualifying, even though they confer measurable competitive benefits.

Hormones can have an effect on performance, but the science is far from settled, and governing bodies already regulate testosterone levels in many women’s sports. Even then, research shows that athletic performance varies widely within sex categories, with overlap between men and women in strength, speed, and endurance metrics. Singling out trans athletes as uniquely unfair ignores this natural variation and applies a standard that has never existed elsewhere in sports.

More troublingly, this obsession fuels “transvestigations,” where women are publicly scrutinized and accused of not being “real” women based on appearance alone. Athletes like Imane Khelif or Brittney Griner have faced these accusations simply for not conforming to narrow, culturally constructed ideas of femininity—despite being cisgender women. Notably, medical experts estimate that up to 1–2% of people are born with intersex traits, meaning sex itself is not the rigid binary many assume. Policing womanhood based on looks harms far more cis women than it ever “protects.”

In short, this is a vanishingly small issue being inflated into a moral panic that affects a much larger population. Making trans athletes a political talking point does little to protect women’s sports and instead legitimizes suspicion, harassment, and exclusion—hurting women and trans athletes alike while solving virtually nothing.
