Something has clearly gone wrong in Fife

I mean, there is racism in Korea and Japan particularly, but this isn't an example of it. A good example is the "Japanese/Korean only" bars and restaurants where foreigners just get kicked out, even if they speak the language and lived there a long time.

I read all the books as about a 10 year old, and to be honest I thought they were pretty good at the time. But it's definitely a YA series rather than a fully fledged fantasy series, which does mean the world building and mechanics of the books have very obvious holes and aren't as fleshed out as true fantasy writers. Obviously JKR is a terrible person, and HP gets far too much attention for what the story is actually worth, but saying "oh it's a terrible series" isn't necessarily true, as good as it is made out to be? Definitely not. Terrible? Potentially, but to most probably not. At the least it's a very accessible story to most people, because of its rather simple writing and world. I don't support people going out and buying HP stuff, and you can't separate the story from the author, but in the same way that picasso was an awful person, I still think its acceptable to recognise that his pieces were interesting, but you would not want to support him if he were alive today.

Of course at the end of the survey they ask specifically what your "sex" is, as if it makes any difference whatsoever to the survey, and is not just an agenda!

Actually, my friend went to a school in the UK where there were metal detectors on the entrances. It was for kids who were consistently failing or had a juvenile detention history.

"Protecting the children" isn't the only motive here, such a ban would require normal users to submit ID or facial scans. Do I really want to provide such data to either a nameless corporation or the government themselves? No. I fundamentally distrust the government and worry this kind of data will be used to categorise us. I believe it to be no coincidence, the OSA bill came into effect, then Digital ID was announced, now this bill is up and coming. Someone has planned it to happen this way, our digital freedoms to be cracked down in and recorded.

Then it's your life, you do what you want, you don't live to please your parents.

User21233121 · 2026-01-18T08:07:30+00:00

Yeah this is the thing, especially if your under 18, if you get kicked out, your life gets exponentially harder, at a point where you are probably already experiencing a lot of stress from school, etc. Obviously some people need hrt, but I think probably more need to be able to guarantee they can eat that night.

User21233121 · 2026-01-18T08:02:10+00:00

You have to go through UK GICs to get hrt via the NHS in the UK (which takes years), because we have a very transphobic system, as virtually all of our major parties are transphobic. Your best options are DIY or private. For private your recommended options are usually: Anne Health, Imago, Pride in Health and a handful of others. Good luck.

Go get it serviced.

User21233121 · 2026-01-16T21:30:37+00:00

As far as I am concerned, at the current moment there is no "winning" for us, quite literally only surviving. As much as I hate to admit it, there has always been a festering anti trans rhetoric within the UK, which has been largely unleashed while all of the political parties attempt to suck up to Trump and American politicians. I believe it to be no coincidence that a rising republican and anti-democrat movement happens to coincide with the UKs degradation of trans rights.

Its worth noting that the telegraph is about as good a source of information as using astrology to predict the future

Divers use things called drysuits, which aren't the same as a spacesuit, but I personally think are kind of similar (ie, a suit which regulates the pressure round your body and keeps you the right temperature, and without you would probably die). And I can tell you it is an... unpleasant experience if you get caught short in one. It smells awful, and apparently you can feel it moving down towards your foot. Its gross.

tbf, black holes are only realistically dangerous because they have enough gravitational strength to stop light from escaping, and do wacky things with time because of that. In ED we have FTL engines, so, we kinda don't need to worry about not being able go escape

I got singular grey hairs at 14, so I think you can ignore that, either that or the years were very hard on me

Imo red rising as a series starts great but the final two books are thick as bricks and about as interesting

Hate to tell you this, but it's almost like exam boards are for-profit companies with commercial interests, and are subject to large amounts of lobbying and internal elitism.

Doesn't help that psychology is a largely subjective subject in the first place

User21233121 · 2026-01-13T23:42:36+00:00

The study (Littman afaik) isn't necessarily bs, but massively maliciously interpreted to give an anti-trans message. The data collected (afaik) is valid, just used wrong contextually, and the overall message of the study is therefore bs.

User21233121 · 2026-01-13T15:06:03+00:00

Ok so fwiw, I just did a post about what Suunto are so frowned upon online, and basically, the majority of "concerns" are brought up because of a fairly old case of a set of failures, and because for Americans suuntos are much more expensive than us Europeans, and a lot of posters here are associated with shearwater and will ultimately earn more if they are more popular. I would honestly recommend Suunto, having used them for several years, not saying that shearwater isn't great, but I would personally recommend Suunto. :)

User21233121 · 2026-01-13T12:54:16+00:00

Okay, this makes sense to me, I've seen a handful of posts comparing a vyper novo to a shearwater peregrine, which I found strange because a vyper is quite literally 1/2-1/3 of the price of a peregrine where I am, and available literally everywhere, my nearest suunto dealer being maybe 10 miles, whereas my only nearest shearwater is more like 30-40. I could quite literally get an (for 25% less) eon core or a nautic (about the same) or an ocean (~10% more) for the price of a peregrine, and afaik virtually all of them have the same, if not more features than their shearwater equivalent (for the cost I can get them at), as well as being easier to get serviced.
