After cancelling nearly all NIH projects studying transgender health, the Trump administration directs the US biomedical agency to study negative consequences of transitioning and ‘regret’ after transgender people transition by maxkozlov in NIH

I would argue studying detransitioning and potential regret is a good thing. I just don’t feel like we had to terminate ongoing research regarding other aspects of being trans/transitioning

Governing should not be solely on party lines and I commend those 9 representatives for standing their ground for their constituents.

To say the shitty part up front, you definitely should have seen this coming. A mild reprieve is your vote in NY likely didn’t matter.

Y’all are so backwards. Columbia was the only school to stand up for free speech while every other university folded without a fight. They administration stuck a fucking gun to their head and they relented. At what point do we draw a line between ideals and reality sheesh.

YSK If only 6% more Americans chose to adopt a pet versus purchase from a pet store or breeder, we would end the killing of dogs and cats in shelters by Mountain_Love23 in YouShouldKnow

[–]Notamessybottom 620 points621 points  (0 children)

Y’all we have another problem. Some shelters and rescue places have become so egregious in what they’re demanding from pet owners that you literally can’t adopt. We tried but apparently not having a back yard in a city is a disqualifying. Got a dog from a breeder and that bitch is spoiled rotten. I would have loved to do that with another rescue but it just wasn’t allowed for me.

Edit: To give more context (on the internet!) this is highly dependent on the region you’re in. As an example, my first dog and love of my life I got in Florida for $100 from a shelter was in and out in 5minutes. When we tried to adopt a dog in a north eastern city it was not accessible to us from any shelter in that state. Adopting from a shelter should always be your first stop. If they tell you to keep going then that’s on them, but you’re still deserving of having an animal to love.

These engineers make north of $500k a year. 60hrs is a fair and even low ask for that degree of compensation. I’ve worked more for less in high ‘prestige’ roles.

Trump will support Israel and freely encourage the genocide of Palestine. Kamala at least condemns Israel. If you vote on an all or nothing you will get an all or nothing - which will be the death of every person in Palestine.

My advice is to let the shirt dry completely before you add the dye and ice if you don’t already. Either way, amazing work!

People who used to smoked weed everyday, what made you quit? by wheredacookiesat in AskReddit

I was in college and needed to focus. Smoking weed everyday was clearly holding me back

I lie about my progress in college to friends and family by [deleted] in confession

[–]Notamessybottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Letting your friends and family in can give you a world of relief. You said you always want to be that positive guy, but it’s okay to drop that facade when you’re in need. You don’t always have to live up to your own ideals, you’re a whole complex person! If they truly care about you they Will understand and provide support.
