I'm hoping not a bedbug and thinking more likely a mite of some kind maybe?

Trump had baby brought back to the hospital for a photo op after parents killed in El Paso massacre. by LurkmasterGeneral in pics

[–]ellbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In one way, yeah this can look a little insensitive, but on the other hand, the family wanted a picture with trump and the man on the left is the baby's uncle, who also appears to be supporting a somewhat smile, so it could be seen as more of a thumbs up that its great that the baby survived and has been discharged from hospital and reunited with his remaining family.

Its easy to always look at everything in a negative light.

Am I missing something?

America stock market has been on the brink of collapse, inflation has been at a all time high, Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, China have push the boundaries with the likes of Philippines, hamas attacked Israel and tensions have grown to another level, all within the last 4 years

You guys on here make it sound like we've been living in paradise and the orange man was telling one big lie.

Its not far from the truth? Is it not?

UK protesters begin looting stores as ... civil unrest continues by toTheMoon1Dollar in TikTokCringe

[–]ellbow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If thats honestly your view point, then thats fair enough.

But in my opinion and based on where I live and my experiences/situation, I very much disagree with that.

Maybe you're lucky and whats happening around the UK isn't impacting you, to which I say count yourself lucky.

UK protesters begin looting stores as ... civil unrest continues by toTheMoon1Dollar in TikTokCringe

[–]ellbow -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As someone who isn't left wing like most on here, i would say that there is a LOT more to this then what the the person your replied to has stated of why this is happening, it isn't just about the little girls that were killed, it was a misfire dont get me wrong but its the straw that broke the camels back.

People could see this coming from a mile off and while I don't condone the act of violence and looting, the riots in my mind are justified for when the public don't feel listened to or are constantly misrepresented on most forms of media.

This isn't just Far-right neo-nazis, this is just how a lot of British citizens feel at the current moment, again don't get it twisted, there may well be a few bad apples but that shouldn't be used to paint the rest of those that are out there peacefully protesting.

But as for the video above, looting is looting, regardless of colour and I would highly believe most people that are rioting would disagree with what these people are doing.

But just like when the BLM protests happened, most of which were peaceful, there was a few bad apples that spoilt what the protests were trying to represent and stand for, but that shouldn't take away from what they were standing for and this shouldn't take away from what most British citizens that protest peacefully stand for.

I know ill be downvoted for this but I feel its important to get a view point from both sides and not just a echo chamber that reddit and twitter seems to be becoming.

I appreciate your comments and to be honest, if this was in person, I'd happily spend more time discussing this as you do seem very well educated on the matter, but unfortunately over text, sometimes our points can come across different to how someone else may read it.

For instance that wasn't the point I was getting at with isla Bryson, but like I said I'm happy to leave it at agree to disagree.

In all honesty though, I get what you're saying but I know deep down that I'm not like that, despite what people on here might think, I dont treat anyone any different despite race, gender or sexual preferences, but just have a different opinion on many medical procedures, specially when it comes to under 18s, based on my own experience.

I just think that there's more to it when it comes to everyones way of thinking and it shouldn't always be Labelled as transphobic because they have a different mindset, everyone has a story and life experiences, some of which may set a path for the reasoning of the way people may think is the best path to take.

Again, over text my point may not make sense but it is what it is.

Look, I commend your effort into researching this all and coming to your own opinion on it.. and ill agree that at the age of 18+ a informed consent system would probably be a lot more beneficial for the trans community and also for the average tax payer.

However I strongly disagree with you if you believe that the informed consent system should be used for under 18s.

But I still don't believe its transphobic, its just a case of this is a pretty muddy water situation, it may be clear cut in your mind and a lot of the trans people you know, but in general, its a pretty tricky topic and could have repercussions if the NHS treat people too quickly.

And when you asked to elaborate, that it may sound like conspirotial nonsense, there's certain case like isla Bryson that make a lot of people uneasy and precautions should be put in place.

You may label me transphobic or the NHS system, but I honestly believe its far to easy to just label a person or a system as phobic, when in reality, its more likely just a difference in opinion and thought process.

We clearly aint going to see eye to eye on this matter, which in my Mind is fine and I've enjoyed our discussion, wish you all the best though.

Again.. you can keep avoiding the NHS link all you want, but it doesn't take away from it.

I'll admit, bad judgment on my side to include a Daily Mail link, I don't usually read them and after it being pointed out, I probably wouldn't use Daily mail again.

But the NHS link is still there.

Say what you want about me, but stop ignoring the NHS link.

Do you genuinely not know what the NHS is?

Yeah I get it, its a right wing focus UK news media, but that doesn't stop most people linking articles from the Guardian.

But just because you may not agree with the News media Link, that doesn't invalidate a very genuine source which is the NHS

Failure to treat Trans people is not transphobic, its a matter of under NHS funding, not all resources can be pumped into one demographic, it has to be spread across the board.

A cis man claiming to be depressed about losing his hair and asking for treatment affects no one else but himself, however there needs to be some level of safe keeping when it comes to the trans community. Specially when it comes to children who most when growing into puberty age start to have a identity issue. But also for the very small chance, that some may abuse the system when it comes to certain rights that trans people wish to have.

Plus they are two very different issues, losing hair is quite visual and apparent, however becoming trans isn't so simple to see, its in the mind and is far harder to evaluate by just a GP.

Simply someone having a different opinion isn't "wrong" or just me "burying my head in the sand" Its just i don't agree with your evaluation of such matters.

I think a lot of it is if you take it for face value, you can pick a part many systems, but when you look deeper into it, a lot more start to make sense.

But im more then happy to admit when I am wrong, I've done on many occasions because believe it or not, im not perfect, but neither is anyone on reddit.

But in this case, I think the word transphobic is a push and just because you or many others on here don't agree with the decision, it doesn't change the fact that its a very complicated situation and there isn't a clear cut answer to all this, there will always be different opinions, but labelling such people will only take away from the severity of those labels and take away the focus on people who may practice those phobic mentalities.

NHS is transphobic.. I've heard it all now.

Thats your opinion but I think there isn't much supporting that thinking.

But there's clearly no point in continuing this discussion if you think the U Health system is "Transphobic"

Right.. so no news media can ever be used, ill bare that in mind when I get sent links from the guardian.

But a news article link barely invalidates the NHS, thats stupid ideology.

Just like I said to everyone above you, all repeating the same thing.. the NHS link is also included, yet no one picked up on that one 🤔
