Me? No. I don't have access to an olive tree though. I assume fresh olives are eaten, but I've never even seen one

Related to this, pickled olives on peanut butter toast. It's better than you think

Not just a China thing. Canada is absolutely fucked with the government floundering to try and keep house prices from falling

Agreed, but this is a large escalation

Ok. If you're mtf, the hormonal treatment will stop a lot of the masculinisation of the face. If the person 'changes their mind ' they can stop the hormonal treatment and the masculine hormones will do the work on their face. No real harm done. Just a delay.
Similar things with a ftm person.
It's also important to note that a lot of the 'masculine' and 'feminine' traits aren't really as clearcut as we generally think. BUT the treatment helps these people with their mental health and when we're dealing with a population with crazy high suicide rates, these hormonal treatments are literally lifesaving

In Canada, you can start transitioning as a teenager, but that's almost 100% hormonal treatments which aren't permanent.
There's therapy involved. There's physicians involved.
More people regret knee replacement than gender affirming surgery.
In Canada, kids aren't going through irreversible surgery. It just doesn't happen. It's a years long process, so toddlers would never even be considered because it takes years. The toddler wouldn't be a toddler by the time surgery was scheduled.

If you read, the standards of care for trans people, you'll see that the medical establishment doesn't agree with irreversible surgery before adulthood. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen in other countries, but it goes against the international standard.

If you want some references I can help, but I encourage you to look for some of the primary sources.

There's a ridiculous amount of misinformation out there regarding this topic. It can be really hard to see through that.

And Jesus wept!

I appreciate you

One of the defining traits of the left is empathy.

If you're not left you're less than. I said it. I stand by it.

The order was to stop genocide. The other option was to throw the case out.

The language is purposely broad for legal reasons, but apparently, people are taking it's broadness as a win for Israel.

This was definitely not a win for Israel.

Part one...'killing members of the group... ' '... Causing serious bodily harm to members of the group '

The order then says to stop doing everything in part one.

Not at all suspicious that this comes out shortly after Israel is ordered to 'stop all genocidal activity'

For years there's been reports about how unnecessarily cheap helium is. For instance, helium balloons should be very expensive.
If the companies buying this up sell it for what it's value is, we could be looking at $100 helium balloons.
MRIs could also get more expensive

Woah wtf. Why do you think I'm trying to say he's the best choice?

Do you think what's going on in Palestine would be happening under Trump? It's a huge what if, but I don't think so.
Trump's a fascist. But you're in denial if you think the US government hasn't always been fascist. Biden's just not an accelerationist.
As a US neighbor, I'd take Biden any day of the week, but would Yemeni people think the same? That's all I'm saying

Biden is good for the country, but his foreign policy is horrible.
Trump is bad for the country, but he's such a wild card that he's got a stabilizing presence internally

A choice between a guy who's going to make the world worse and a guy who's going to make the country worse...

I remember just hating the guy in the first couple episodes too. He's the least likable protagonist I can think of

He's going to be vice-president. It's not exactly a win

Probably.
When Jesse was going through a time Gus offered him time off to take care of himself. When he brought Jesse and Mike through a dangerous mission, he ensured they'd get the proper medical care... His whole reason for being in that business was to destroy a ruthless family.
