The problem is that the users truly don’t understand how terrifying the data is.

End, it seems impossible to educate them on it .

Nobody wants to believe that they can be manipulated as easily as they actually can be, especially with a bunch of inside information that you don’t think is relevant.

Everyone wants to believe that they are freethinkers and make decisions themselves without “Google bias” and subtle manipulation.

I honestly have no idea how to fight that and it terrifies me

Soooo, not taking sides on this one because it’s very divisive buuuut…..

The conservatives are worried that therapists are run amok and are out there convincing normal kids that are on a path of self discovery that they should flip genders. I mean I’m a guy and there were definitely points in my life where I wondered what it’s like to be a girl beyond just the simple question. There’s some validity to this because the therapy community has made messes before (see “recovered memories”)

As an example of this, at a recent pride event I was at, I saw a 10 year old wearing the asexual flag. They’re far too young to try and define what they are, they we’ll change as life goes on….. but more than that, should a 10 year old have a sexuality?? Are they actually asexual or just 10 and not yet finished puberty?

I don’t have the answers, but it’s a valid question.

That being said, the reality is that there are VERY few children who actually transition that early in life and they seem to be fairly clear cases, so the risks seem WAY overblown and the blowback on that great mongering is a huge safety risk to the trans community and frankly the lgbtq community as a whole. So while they do have a somewhat valid but minor concern, they’re treating it like every elementary school teacher is trying to find the “trans” in everyone. It gets much worse than that in the “don’t say gay” bills.

Then there’s the sports problem and quite frankly I agree with the conservatives on that one. Trans folk should compete with the men’s/open leagues and not the women’s leagues. Testosterone is too powerful to allow trans (in either direction) to obliterate the women’s leagues.

Cool, so I can’t revoke the certs myself? Still bad.

I can’t add my own for testing? Still bad.

They manage it via an app that I can’t change at all? Still bad.

Super handy for if a certificate gets out and needs to be revoked.

Idiots.

I’m not sure if you’re making a joke or trying to be l correct me, but that’s hilarious!

Well played

Well I’m not monitoring their behaviour either, I just wish people could have a little more empathy.

Times are tough for everyone.

Often people giving you a hard time are HAVING a hard time. It’s not an excuse, it’s just unfortunate

Yeah I’m sorry that some people can’t support the discourse

Oh listen I TOTALLY believe that it’s better, that’s why I have the iPhone.

HOWEVER, most of these points are what Apple tells me, not verified by a third party research team, so there’s a grain of salt to go along with the statements

The answer is Google.

Reddit has the Google login integration and advertiser id.

Your Gmail account and Google advertising id has de-anonymized you

I own an iPhone because Google is evil but….

Make no mistake, Apple has developed their own advertising id and they’re starting to use it to track you just like Google.

In theory it’s more private, but in practice it’s hard to say for sure.

Right? I mean Isn’t a probe supposed to discover what happened?

I’m fairly certain I could guess what happened with one of those shakey magic 8 ball things.

Canada does, because we’re mostly metric but still do enough business with the US that we’re sorta half and half

A lot of that control is about perceived obedience and perceived productivity.

In many areas you’ll find that ACTUAL productivity matters far less than perceived productivity.

And it’s easier to perceived productivity when you can walk a floor and see people work as you walk by.

The medication lasts 8 hours usually (ish) and personally I have troubles wanting to be sexual while the medication is still keeping me in the focus zone.

If the meds are effective, it can help you feel better about being able to accomplish things…

And so you spend less time inside your own head and that helps the sex drive.

Though I’d wait the 8 hrs for it to wear off 😝

Adding more coverage from above and preventing “puddles” or streams will help whatever solution you end up with on the bottom

So I honestly believe that therapy for men would look vastly different…

It would be a gym, or an auto shop, or woodworking shop where you can work with your hands while you talk about it. You’re entirely right, men deal with it differently, and the biggest thing we do differently is that we talk while DOING something rather than just sitting on a couch.

Open a wood shop where I can spend an hour a week building a shitty spice rack while talking to someone about my issues, etc…

Anyways, I have done plenty of regular therapy, but I can see why many men struggle with it
