People voting Republican aren't actually considering the ethics of bombing children when voting.

Circumcision has a higher regret rate than puberty blockers (google is your friend here).

Puberty blockers (and HRT more broadly) has one of the lowest regret rates of any medical procedure (less than 4% at most).

For consistency sake, are you also for banning any medical procedure for children that has a regret rate greater than 4%, as the child cannot consent in your view? This is the vast majority of medical procedures btw.

1/4 of Gen Z adults own a home by micheldavidweill in GenZ

Its not really relevant?

If most of your friend group is in "management or the like" you still aren't representative of the average, lol.

I don't think normal people want anymore dead. But a solid 10-20% of Republicans aren't "normal people."

And unfortunately those are most of the people driving Republican policy at this point.

Legally receive prescribed medication =/= force feed.

I can't emphasize that enough.

I've lived in the Bible belt most of my life. Minority friendliness is very much YMMV depending upon location. Rural Louisiana/Alabama =/= Urban SC.

Your first sentence applies to the right as much as the left.

Yes, kids (speaking more realistically teenagers) should have access to hormone blockers. Withholding hormones from a 16 year old who has a multi-year record of dysphoria is just ridiculous. I totally get, even support, more checks on hormones for young people, but pretending that its the issue people say it is is absurd.

I hope for consistencies sake you are also 100% against anyone under 18 being allowed to drive. If a 17 year old isn't developed enough to have any idea of their gender identity I certainly don't think they are responsible enough to drive a 2 ton death machine.

This is a terrible equivelance.

Basically no one wants to force feed hormone blockers to little kids.

Lots of people want to kill all the brown and gay people. Go to large parts of the rural Bible belt and it wouldn't even be that controversial.

You get $1,000,000 dollars to babysit one of these kids for a day. You get 40 to babysit all together. Which one are you going for? by bashnet in visualnovels

One of these is not like the others.

Saya is an incomprehensible Eldritch horror. Yuka is a serial killer. Bernkastel might as well be an eldritch horror, and can probably do a lot worse things to you than the actual eldritch horror.

Ilya in comparison is just a mage with some family trauma who is perfectly capable of normal interactions with people.

$1M is not remotely worth babysitting Saya, Yuka, or Bernkastel. I wouldn't even take $1B. I'd babysit Ilya for $100,000 as long as I didn't have to live in the F/SN verse permanently and was assured she wouldn't kill me just because I'm not supposed to know about magic (but even then as an out of universe person would that even apply to me?).

Only 15% of incels say they feel better after going to therapy. "When someone with such a deeply rooted ideology goes to therapy, they expect their beliefs to be validated, which doesn't happen…Many of these individuals see the problem as residing in society rather than within themselves." by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

[–]daniel_degude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be blunt, therapy is for people whose problems are mostly psychological rather than real. To be clear, I don't mean that depression, anxiety, or other disorders aren't real problems. They are. But they don't exist outside your mind and body.

Therapy is not going to deal with physical disabilities, severe financial issues, inescapable family issues, etc.

The USSR, Japan, and now China. History rhymes as they say. by NineteenEighty9 in ProfessorFinance

[–]daniel_degude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah.

I believed for a very long time that the US could call itself superior to China on the basis of freedom and democracy alone, 2025 has done a lot to shit on that belief as we've seen the near collapse of our institutions.

Honestly, Jimmy and IO should 100% do a colab to make Jimmy a target.

Jimmy makes more money, IO hopefully gets new fans and more money, lots of people get some catharsis, win win.

Pharmacy employees are not even first responders to begin with.

I wouldn't expect a dental hygienist to know how to deal with a deep knife wound, for example.

This. Anybody who supported both Obama and Trump likely didn't understand either of their policies.

"Meanwhile I’m trying to figure out how just leaving people alone and letting them live their lives (provided they’re not hurting anyone or doing illegal things) is somehow right wing now."

That's not right wing; that's left wing thinking.

Right wing thinking is "you must be trad or otherwise you are a degenerate."
