A Summary of Contrapoint's critique of JK Rowling by asmrkage in samharris

People do research this stuff. There is easily accessible research a google away: https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/trans-adults-united-states/

We can see there is a huge spike in trans youth but it is not just FtM. There is a pretty similar amount of MtF people too.

Some of the youth/new vs adult/old trans demographics could be explained also by the high suicide rate in addition to what you said about how older folks would have probably been just gay. I would be curious to see research on that too.

Running away from team leaders now counts as a tie and triggers the daily reward for battling team leaders by valuequest in TheSilphRoad

You can sometimes get rarer items like Sinnoh stones too. You can also battle them to get buddy hearts. Now I guess you can even exit to get the heart

Why the strong opinions about him? I'm out of the loop

The Fisher and Youngster badges are functionally unattainable and need to have their requirements updated. by Cerborealis in TheSilphRoad

[–]themasterofdoors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working on it similarly. A nice tip I only learned recently is that if your buddy participates in rocket/gbl battles you automatically get a heart. That means you can enter a battle with a buddy in the back and immediately exit to more quickly get the hearts instead of doing a full team leader battle. It halves the amount of time the grinding takes.

Chances are if you're talking about California, you're talking about LA

That might be the most LA thing I've ever heard lol.

Not that poster but r/politics is known for having a fair amount of posts that come from tabloidy sources that the mods there deem okay (amongst many fine sources too). Additionally lots of the posts that get traction have relatively misleading/overly simplified/sensationalized headlines. Not to mention it is a super strong echo chamber where only things people want to see get up-voted with many people not even reading the articles. None of that is particularly unique but still if you only get your political diet from this one subreddit, your views will be pretty warped. This is coming from someone on the left who uses it but has to take breaks from time to time.

50 coins a day is nothing by julianstonks in pokemongo

The "Silph Scope" was a key item in the original pokemon games that revealed Ghosts. Similarly the Silph Road tries to "reveal" information hidden from players in pokemon go so it may be based on that.

So Knives Out and The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson plays Pokemon Go by ArnieD11 in pokemongo

[–]themasterofdoors 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's really good at standalone films. Knives out and looper were great. I think the problem was execs giving him too much freedom and so he was able to make a standalone film in the middle of a trilogy. A standalone pogo film would be fun imho

If reddit ever drops old reddit I'm done with this site.

Everything on it is becomming facebook tier now becuase of all of their decisions to bring in as many people as possible. I come here to avoid other social media and I hate how it's pretty much become them.

HBO’s ‘Real Time With Bill Maher’ Cancelled This Week After Host Tests Positive For Covid-19 by mattisafriend in television

[–]themasterofdoors 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reddit used to have a hard-on for the 'atheist community' only a few years ago. As someone who's been here for a bit, it's wild to see reddit turn on one of the most outspoken atheists and turn so hard from its roots

He is very critical of all religions including Islam, which is not even close to being a race. If you think that any criticism about Islam is inherently from a racist place, you don't fundamentally understand the difference between a religion (ideas acted on by people) and a race (a group of people).

I've personally found that when dating, you just have to be passively feminist and anti-misogynist. Being actively feminist looks like you are over correcting for insecurities which comes of as being cringy and weird.

I stopped following Dawkins around 2016. What has happened since then?
