  • While I'm not personally a fan of hexbear or lemmygrad it sounds like you're doing a very good job with the moderation.

  • I'm not familiar with this community nor can I find it on blåhaj?

  • Valid, but ultimately no average user is gonna try anything like that on their own.

  • I just don't like the idea that the moderators tolerate this sort of behavior.

  • People spreading misinformation to erode my rights and cause violence against me is maybe slightly different from a difference in opinion. Additionally, I think the major instances (at least the general ones) should hold themselves to a higher standard than niche instances.

    EDIT: Honestly thinking this is about safe spaces is very tone deaf.

  • Linux can absolutely replace windows for the average user.

  • They would have known this if they bothered to open the surgery regret rate studies I linked them (but we both know studies won't change their mind). For the lazy it's less than 1% for both transmascs and transfems.

  • Kids are never offered "life changing surgeries". This doesn't happen. Evidence very much suggests being trans is a genuine neurological condition that we are born with.

    Our brains match our gender.

    Brains are not necessarily binary.

    We understand some of the causes.

    "Risk" of being born trans seems to be partly genetic.

    Our identities are stable.

    The American Academy of Pediatrics is on our side.

    Adults don't regret surgery. And another study on the same.

    Additionally, getting a diagnosis is a long process (and it's not guaranteed that you'll get one), and then actually getting treatment takes even more time (also not guaranteed).

    EDIT: I can't read what the transphobe is saying anymore as they have rightly been banned from the server I'm on. Detransitioning is uncommon, but of course perfectly valid. Typically people detransition because of transphobia or for economic reasons. Have some additional links:

    Rates of detransition are low, and they are only very rarely permanent and caused by true regret.

    GenderGP links multiple studies saying essentially the same thing.

    This one mentions detransition rates of 13%, but again mostly to escape stigma.

  • Some people don't have an inner monologue at all, actually !

    Dunno what either of those things are called

  • "Why are you trying to do [x]? Have you tried doing [y] instead?"

  • Yes, but distance is still continuous, a minimum measurable distance (between stuff) doesn't make space granular. I suppose there might be a minimum measurably meaningful number of configurations, but I'm not super convinced.

  • Whether or not an infinite number of particles will fit or not is not important, no ? I'm not sure what you mean by finite granularity. There is no "grid", space is continuous, the planck length and the fact that push on each other doesn't really factor in. By virtue of space being continuous and particles being finite, means you can configure stuff in infinite ways.

    Edit: Not quoting you with the reference to a grid. I know that's not what you mean.

  • There are an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 1, and yet there is no repetition. Pi and other irrational numbers are infinite yet non-repeating. I wish I knew the name for this kind of thing because I'm sure it's been discussed in philosophy (a kind of opposite, eternal recurrence, has been discussed a lot).

    I don't think anyone knows enough about the universe to say whether or not there is infinite variety in macroscopic stuff, so I don't think anything can be ruled out.

  • There are infinities without repetition. Usually the proofs for the stuff you describe assumes finite possibilities.

  • Gynophilia, androphilia, romantic attraction, sexual attraction etc. absolutely makes everything complicated yeah. And then there's cultural stuff and minor personal preferences. There's no real end to how many axis you could legitimately argue for including in a sexuality chart.

  • A spectrum can have multiple dimensions, but that might not matter if you're only comparing in a single dimension?

  • How the f##k was this photographed

    Vampire

  • I am very much pro palestine. I'm sorry I was not aware this was a primary, in that case voting against biden makes a lot more sense. I meant unionize in the normal way, as you defined it. Unions are an excellent place to also organize protests etc. Unions are absolutely tied to political movements. Here in norway they are/were associated with the workers party, a social democratic party, however they (the party) have been drifting farther and farther towards the center over the years.

    I've seen people discus the election and no one brought up that it was a primary, so I foolishly assumed it wasn't.

  • my apologies, whenever I've seen people discus the election they didn't mention this was a primary. In that case obviously do not vote for biden.
