You are confidently explaining being trans wrong to someone who literally explained trans completely correct, and you look incredibly silly.

Being trans is not exclusively the opposite of your genetic sex. Being trans is not identifying as your assigned gender at birth. This includes non-binary people, and also doesn't exclude intersex people, who wouldn't fit into your definition, since the gender binary doesn't have an apt comparison, especially because we assign genders based on our genitals (which, again, may not correlate to our genetic sex!)

The point is that gender is technically kinda arbitrary, and it affects more things beyond one of each of these can make a baby.

It might alloy into bronzitus if you're not careful.

It's because every Republican candidate is Trump with less make-up. They all share the same fascist platform.

You better believe they want Trump removed from the ballot, and there's two outcomes why: The first and likely is that Trump wins nomination. On states where he's not on the ballot, there will be people who do not vote at all and this affect downstream voting. The second is that Trump somehow loses nomination. There will indeed be people who write-in Trump, and while this is actually a worse outcome due to downstream voting being affected, this outcome would be largely unaffected by Trump's removal or not. Primary voters are gonna write things in, and especially Republican ones that feel like the system is rigged.

True. Happy holidays was accidentally inclusive, as opposed to it being designed that way. It was just used as another way to say Merry Christmas.

That wasn't your argument, but okay. If your argument is that we should dismantle capitalism, then voting for a third party is not gonna do that, unless you want some type of authoritarian regime to win that is eventually overthrown and replaced, which isn't a solid plan either.

No fair, he hogs the adrenochrome!

"Whelp, the world's gonna end some day, might as well end it sooner."

One could argue that fascism is fascism and that the privileges afforded to the wealthy is a flaw or possibly a feature of capitalism.

Just say that you want Trump.

That's weird, that would be the same thing Russian propaganda tells me to do.

First-past-the-post realistically cannot support more than a two-party system, and I will always vote for the candidate to the left, who just happens to be Joe Biden. Not voting and third parties get us Trump.

Are you suggesting Trump is a valid choice?

I love Lejolas and Jimli's gokes.

If you can't break down something, memorizing the answer only teaches you the answer to those problems. Each piece of mathematics is a building block that can be used to help understand another part. You are skipping past the part of why 2+2=4 because it seems forthright and immutable. But, memorizing that means that there may come a time when 2+2 isn't equal to 4, and without the knowledge of how to get there, could you then solve for 2*3?

This seems silly (and maybe a little abstract), but it's meant more as an example to show why knowing how to break things down could solve bigger problems later on. Learning multiple ways to solve a problem can be really helpful!

It's really just meant to show that it can be broken down, not that it is faster (because it isn't).

Perhaps you are confused that two things are called homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a medical belief system. Homeopathic medicines originated from this. But other (unregulated) medicines wanted to use this, too. That's how these medicines can be labelled like this, but this labeling is not restricted to the homeopathic system, and is used by ANYONE that doesn't want to be regulated the same way.

Homeopathic medicine is unlikely to help you because it is unregulated. If there were studies that showed effectiveness and safety, they wouldn't hide behind the homeopathic label. That doesn't mean that they don't do anything, because they are allowed to contain active ingredients.

Please just read about on the FDA's website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/information-drug-class/homeopathic-products

Used their website, which would definitely have stated as such. I feel like you want to suggest that homeopathic medicine is good, but homeopathic medicine doesn't have to prove it is effective nor that there aren't any side effects. Labeling as homeopathic is just a way to put products out and avoid the FDA or having to prove it works.

In this particular case, being labelled as homeopathic IS typically a sign that it does not work and might actually cause harm.

We begin forming our gender identity fairly young, and at 2-3, we do have a relatively simple grasp on gender, and broad concepts are pretty easy to understand. A child that asks you to call them a boy or a girl instead of their assigned birth gender isn't even particularly strange! Children explore their identities in a lot of ways, from nicknames to the way they dress and act and play.

I have a 6-year old cousin who is adamant that she is a girl with some solid reasoning behind it, and she was never told any of it. She came up with it herself! I think you underestimate children, and maybe you underestimate yourself, too.

Not how that works, and also not true. If it's marked as homeopathic, it's NOT approved by the FDA. There are FDA guidelines for homeopathic medicines, including the use of active ingredients, but they are specifically not approved by the FDA. And looking at Snore Stop, it never stopped being homeopathic, so no idea what you're talking about.

They didn't, otherwise there'd be one less, they'd be wider, flatter, and the tray picture wouldn't be from an amazon listing.

Not to be a naysayer, but there ARE techniques for single digit multiplication and addition. In fact, it's utilizing some basic principles, like the transitive property.

You can always always breakdown mathematics into smaller bits, like 9+8=(9+1)+7=17, or 7*6=(5+2)*6=30+12=42.

You could even do counting! 1+3 => 1...2,3,4 => 4. Or 3*4 => 3,6,9,12 => 12. There's lots of shortcuts!

If you expect us to take responsibility for our actions, then we'd have to have real solutions, and it's just easier to complain about things, plus we'd have to arrest a looooooot of war criminals.

Not quite. Homeopathy is a medical belief structure consisting of certain practices that attempt to cure "like with like". It has shown no benefits over placebos or other medical treatments, and on certain occasions, has been shown to have serious consequences.

There are many parts to homeopathy that are widely criticized, such as "potentisation", a process of diluting a substance to such a degree that there contains little or none of the beginning ingredient. Additionally, since the goal is to treat symptoms by using like symptoms, the causes are never truly addressed, especially since the underlying philosophy of homeopathy is that the body can cure itself.

Thus, if you were helped by a homeopathic medicine, it was more than statistically likely a placebo effect. Please do not rely on homeopathy for medicine.
