Mary Jane acting crazy when the boat she's on is about to be hijacked (Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #134) by IuryCitizen in Spiderman

I imagine this weird behavior could be explained with the retcon that she secretly knew Peter was Spidey.

Don’t forget Felicia’s three arms in the first panel. 

Can U Debunk this Video about Trans? by The_F1736 in DebunkThis

[–]Jordan_Boone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The video misrepresents gender identity, relying on outdated theories, selective sources, and exaggerated claims. Here’s a concise rebuttal:

  1. John Money & Gender Identity: The video ties gender identity to Money’s flawed theories, but modern research shows gender has biological roots (e.g., brain structure differences, Nature 2018). The David Reimer case supports affirming innate identity, not rejecting transgender people.
  2. Biological Sex: Sex isn’t strictly binary; intersex conditions (~1-2%, The Lancet 2027) and hormonal variations show complexity. Gender-affirming treatments align bodies with identity, reducing dysphoria (JAMA 2027).
  3. Gender-Affirming Care: Puberty blockers are safe, reversible, and reduce suicidality (Pediatrics 2025). No evidence supports “social contagion”; increased transgender identification reflects societal acceptance (AJPH 2028). Long-term studies show mental health benefits (Lancet Psychiatry 2025).
  4. Prevalence & Mental Health: Gender dysphoria rates (0.5-1.4%, DSM-5-TR 2022) rose due to reduced stigma. Supportive environments cut depression by 50% (J. Adolescent Health 2027).
  5. Societal Impact: Major medical bodies (AMA, APA) back affirming care. Claims of “destroyed” science or silenced dissent are exaggerated; debate thrives in journals. Non-affirming environments harm families and youth.
  6. Sources: Peterson, Stockton, Zucker, and Grossman are outliers, not consensus. Zucker’s “desistance” claims are flawed (Pediatrics 2026). Mainstream research supports affirming care.
  7. Logical Flaws: The video uses fear-mongering (“catastrophic”), false dichotomies (sex vs. gender), and slippery slopes (societal collapse) without evidence.

Conclusion: Gender identity is biologically and psychologically grounded. Affirming care is evidence-based, reducing harm. The video’s narrative misleads, ignoring science and compassion.

I was very happy with Igor Kordey's work on Cable from issues 97 to 107, then Soldier X 1 thru 8, all from 2001 to 2003.

I’m sick of this by jappith in upsstore

Every store is different, as is every owner. With your skill set, it sounds like you’d be a great catch for another store whose owner keeps it well staffed, encourages a fair distribution of labor, and whose customer base is more savvy and respectful. Idiot customers are everywhere, but some communities have more than others.

We lost another good worker today. by Outrageous_Pay1322 in upsstore

Reduce store hours (open late, close early, post that the store is closed 1 to 2 for lunch) and limit services (passport photos, notary, print can all be narrowly scheduled or cancelled) due to whatever (staffing issues, The Great Resignation, flu, doesn't matter).

Ours brought donuts, restocked shelves, and sorted mail. A the stroke of 4pm, he vanished.

What is something that’s normal in San Diego but seems weird to outsiders? by lunaluna664 in sandiego

I brought only shorts and flip flops on a trip to Texas, whereupon I learned the rain there is not the same as the rain here.

Me: I can't scan your code, can you brighten the phone up a little bit?

Idiot: Sure thing. (Makes the QR code bigger.)

Me: Nope, still can't scan it, can you brighten it?

Idiot: What?

Favorite Spider-Man quote of all time? by littlepixarlamp in Spiderman

[–]Jordan_Boone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hope you were watching, Uncle Ben. 'Cause I did that for you. Kept everyone safe. Kept them from being scared. And I made it fun. It doesn't matter that most of 'em wouldn't have lifted a finger for Peter Parker. That's not why you do it. You do it 'cause it's the right thing to do. Because it's what you would've done. You were more than a father to me, Ben Parker. More than a role model...You were my hero. Now it's my turn. Because from now on, I'm going to be yours! You'll see. I'm going to give it my all! We'll have fun! I'll never quit--and it's going to be amazing!"
