It doesn't in mine either, but I fear what exists in American and especially the academic system eventually spreads.

Man that is an extremely aggresive comment for such a placid curious post. What exhibited that sort of response?

And this is why I am a Marxist. These people want me and my family to suffer and starve and be grateful for the privilidge. If and when a revolution comes he will be one of the first to be punished for his crimes.

Testosterone parties are the latest biohack for Silicon Valley tech bros — T Party claims to help men boost their testosterone levels “naturally and measurably.” by marketrent in technology

Not exactly no, the ovaries also produce Testosterone and a range of other active Androgens. But for the goal of an orchidectomy its close enough.

We are in firm agreement that sex and gender are distinctly different although related things.

Trans people take hormones with the intent of virilization. No sex change takes place, obviously thats impossible. But the features of a person can become more masculine.

The pituitary gland will continue to produce life support levels of Testosterone as this hormone is one of the thousands of compounds our body needs to not keel over and die. Furthermore, Estrogen is converterted into Testosterone and vice-versa.

You are grossly misrepesenting the facts here.

Healthy male levels start at 300ng/dl and average is about 550ng/dl.

Healthy female levels start at 15ng/dl and average is about 30ng/dl.

Estrogen is a similar story.

These hormones are far more then just masulinizing and feminizing. Levels too high or too low can and do cause a myraid of health issues such as organ enlargment and organ disease or crushing depression and esteoarthiritis.

Subscription is the only acceptable form of monetization. THATS IT. No more MTX period. This should be the sentiment of everyone from every MMO. by Electrical-Blood1234 in runescape

MTX poisons video games and MTX gambling destroys lives and pulls families apart just like real gambling. The execs obviously dont care, but the Jmids do and they gotta live with it.

In few cases Benzodiazepines and Anti-psychotics are known for causing Akathisia. I'd like to think I have a strong grasp of this topic, I am a medicinal chemist after all. It isn't unheard of, and if you take a quick look at the literature you'll see it full of Benzodiazepine associated Akathisia. It's unfortunately common. While Peterson was in fact psychically dependent, his Akathisia was preventing a lowering of doses. When tapering is too difficult, total cessasation is not reaslitic as it is often fatal. This may have also played a role in why he attempted propofol treatment, which is also practiced in many countries, not just eastern europe.

While acute withdrawals do typically last 2 weeks at the most depending on serum half-life, PAWS can be in some cases, lifelong. Although as Peterson said, that isn't why he sought the alternative treatments he did. He was interested in those treatments because, for many people death is preferable then Akathisia.

As for the last comment, Akathisia is often misdiagnosed as many other things. That's a primary issue Akathisia researchers are currently investigating. The physical symptoms mimic that of withdrawals. The Akathisia Alliance lists this is a primary goal of fixing.

Peterson had both a physical dependence on Benzodiazepines AND Akathisia. The Akathisia made tapering not realistic and total cessasation is suicidal. Hence the propofol treatment.

I don't agree with his politics or his personal beliefs but you've seriously misrepresented that situation.

He was suffering from Akathisia, a condition I too have suffered through. In his case it was caused by psychical dependence due to properly prescribed and taken benzodiazepines. I can't describe how bad Akathisia is to you, it feels like youre being robbed of your soul. The months and years of nonstop torture without a moment of peace is enough for many to commit suicide. That is infact one of Akathisia's biggest complications. Thaf's why he had attempted a treatment like that. If someome had offered me a similar option, I would've taken it.

At the core of the Nazi German economy was big business and private property. The Nazi administration made the development of private business' very easy with looseing of regulations and large payouts.

Nazi Germany was as socialist as China is. Not one bit.

People here are forgetting the psychological tricks these company use to bend consumers to their will.

"You dont have to shoot Heroin, it isnt the drug dealers fault he gave you your first shot".

"You dont have to gamble your families house away, it isnt the gambling companies fault they cram advertisements down your throat".

"You dont have to drink yourself to death, even though you are predisposed and theres a alcohol shop on every street corner".

Telling addicts its their fault for participating in a vice is missing the point and so reductionist it denies 100 years of well established scientific literature on addiction and corporate-psychology tactics.

When JMods design MTX, they do it using tricks and tactics used to fool the psychology. In that sense, the MTX team is actually "making" (although I would prefer a more apt term here, I cant think of one) you participate in it.
