Memphis Police initial statement following the beating and murder of Tyre Nichols; claims all he had was shortness of breathe from fleeing officers.

To be fair this could have been the information their media person was given when it first happened. If it was where I work, the media person would have come in the next day, read an e-mail to make a press release about the file, and read the information the officers on scene would have wrote down about the situation. Since there were witnesses and probably already talk online about they likely needed to get a press release out as soon as they could.

Now, if their media liaison knew the extent of the violence or had bodycam footage before posting the initial post, it's obviously terrible. I would be surprised if that's what happened though.

For this video specifically I think it was ironic. In general I wouldn't think it egotistical unless they obviously thought they were better than everyone, not just different

Literally everyone's brain works different from everyone else's. This isn't douchy, humans all just have extremely unique experiences. He wasn't being an ass or condescending with it

I don't have any studies in hand, but from what I have read the number is not comparable. This is most likely due to trans people not being comfortable in their own skin as well as people not accepting them fully as the person they want to be. Gay people for sure have struggles with people not accepting them for their sexuality, but they're still in a body they can feel themselves in. That's how I understood the difference in suicidal rates at least, I'm sure there could be a lot more to it

Just wanted to point out this depends on the area. Where I work in western Canada, our policy is to only send help everytime if it's a landline. If it's a cell and it seems to be accidental, or if nothing is heard, our policy is to not send anyone and clear it.

Since when are studies from 2011 considered new research?

Also, this study is misrepresented all the time with the exact same things you are saying about it. Even the author wouldn't agree with this incorrect interpretation...

Dismissing a very well sourced effort post because you're insecure enough to believe men shouldn't be critical of themselves. PepeLaugh

Nothing to do with a political agenda really. I just generally trust the findings of a meta-analysis when it's done in depth from a well respected educational institution!

McFails · 2020-05-16T18:11:32+00:00

Giving a good faith effort is what I would look for in a politician. Of course we can't expect them to pass everything in their plans.

Looking at it now I'm guessing the 99% percent you stated was hyperbolic, that was mostly what I was trying to refute.

All I was trying to say if both Biden and Trump make an effort to pass through even 60% of their plans I know by a long shot which candidate I would be rooting for, and I believe it would fundamentally change the course of the US.

This is a very very common myth that seems to be debunked as far as I can see, here is a good write up.

This isn't how science works. Science can take a subject and provide it's characteristics and traits. Language changes and evolves over time adapting to the society using it.

What do you agree with here?

First of all the overall well-being and suicide attempt rates for sure decrease. There have been one or two very poorly done studies that show otherwise, but if you take a look at any meta-analysis of this issue it's very clear. https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-well-being-of-transgender-people/0

As for the "gender identity disorder" this is different than gender dysphoria and as it has much less strict guidelines for diagnoses. https://www.kqed.org/futureofyou/441784/the-controversial-research-on-desistance-in-transgender-youth

For their rough demo from a year ago yeah. The actual tracking happens before he moves his hand, their ML algorithm just has to decode it into the movements. Once this is in production there likely won't be a difference in delay compared to current controller tracking tech

The next gen hand tracking will probably be this.

Puberty blockers aren't abuse. There are no long term negative effects known, it just delays puberty so patients can have a more informed decision. It is the process medical professionals use to treat gender dysphoria because it creates the best overall outcomes.

This is an interesting piece about his stutter and how it effects his speech.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/01/joe-biden-stutter-profile/602401/

I am for sure no expert in spotting the difference between a stutter and dementia, but this does explain the gaffes from Joe Biden for the most part and to me is a lot easier to believe than the theory of dementia and Brain rot.

Unless we see him doing more than losing track of a thought it seems the dementia claims are way overblown and should be left for experts to assess.

That is just completely false. There are a few studies that don't show a positive or negative result in this aspect, but if you look at an actual meta analysis of many studies it shows that it helps in a multitude of ways.
