Cool. One person talks about a trans agenda in this thread, another person is making up silly medical conspiracies to dehumanize trans people as if they had no agency.
Teenagers don’t even go to doctors by themselves. They have to be accompanied by a parent.
And listening to doctors on this. Apparently the vast majority of pediatricians recommending puberty blockers for trans kids since it prevents suicide doesn’t matter.
Why on Earth do you think the French Revolution happened because of a famine?
Starving people don’t have much energy to violently revolt.
No, I’m not volunteering because I don’t think either thing will work. But the people calling for those things to happen are waiting for someone else to do it.
Also, how are things not bad enough right now? They’re sending people to Gitmo. Trump and Musk fired people who are responsible for safeguarding our nuclear weapons because they didn’t know what they did. People didn’t even notice despite it being all over the news. Or at least they didn’t notice enough to pick up their torches and pitchforks.
And that’s just the latest horrific thing he’s done in the past three weeks.
So what’s it going to take?
Isn’t that part of the problem? Everyone is waiting for the revolution to start. Everyone is waiting for the next Luigi. Everyone is waiting.
Nothing’s getting better, but someone will come and fix all these problems any time now and I’ll be on their side!
People vote for candidates for such stupid reasons that it could literally be a case of “I recognize that name!”
Absolutely nothing.
This is the 1958 Hong Kong Cha Cha champion.
You might know him by the name Bruce Lee.
Oh you missed the news about congress wanting to insert AI into the medical system, including diagnosis and dispensing medicine.
An AI does not have any sort of doctor-patient confidentiality.
So it won’t just be trans people, it will be anyone who’s health issues make them undesirable in the eyes of the government. For example, people who turn out to be part of a group genetically even if they don’t look like it.
“We saw you were on an unauthorized smoke break, Kevin. We saw it through your own eyes.”
Cool, but only if you could somehow do it very quickly (which would violate the laws of physics) or had some sort of suspended animation system you repeatedly went into. Even the nearest star to us would take you well over 4 years to reach at the speed of light.
As for OJ 287, it would take you five billion years to get there. Longer than the Earth has existed.
Many of us who are old enough saw it as an advanced version of ELIZA and used it with the same level of amusement until that amusement faded (pretty quick) because it got old.
If anything, they are less impressive because tricking people into thinking a computer is actually having a conversation with them has been around for a long time.
There is a vast, vast gulf between blindly trusting the medical industry and accepting your personal conspiracy theory that doesn’t even make sense.
