@CantEverDie Almost zero chance the doctors at wpath lied, too. Except they did, and admitted it. The treatment is expensive and no doctor is totally immune from being a woketard moneymaxxer.
English
almost zero chance doctors said any of this, especially the “you’re too feminine to find love as a gay man” like are we being serious here lmfao

🚨WATCH: A detransitioner tells the California State Assembly how his body "fell apart" after being put on estrogen and puberty blockers at the age of 13. "Nipple leakage, brain fog, chest pain, depression. I was urinating blood and had ulcers in my bladder and was too weak to attend school," Johnny Skinner said. "When I told my doctor how sick I was, he looked at me and said, welcome to womanhood." Skinner made the comments while testifying against AB 1876, a bill that would prohibit insurers from denying or limiting coverage for so-called "gender-affirming care." "This bill forces insurance companies to fund this cruel homophobia. It continues the lie that some children are born in the wrong body. Vote no," Skinner added.

@orcbrandronin I played Vidya when my family couldn't afford it too. The swarthy Greek man at the video store used to mod Playstations for 35 bucks and sell burnt games for $10.
English
I've been playing vidya since long before my family could afford to buy vidya. We used to rent Playstations by the minute for a hryvniya and fifty kopeks an hour that's how I played every resident evil in the 90s 😆 very boomer experience now.

@CX316 @FlimDaMentalist @navyroyce @PatrickLenton Or better than that. I know an elderly patient who was bamboozled into signing a DNR while all doped up and then immediately this rescinded it the next day when he sobered up.

@Mantislike @FlimDaMentalist @navyroyce @PatrickLenton I hope you never have terminal cancer metastasised to your bones or something else ridiculously painful like that.

@FlimDaMentalist @CX316 @navyroyce @PatrickLenton 4 percent is not extreme or rare. It's 1 out of every 20.
English
@FlimDaMentalist @CX316 @navyroyce @PatrickLenton No. I don't want my tax dollars supporting that. If you want a doctor to legally kill you, you should at least have to wait a few days thinking about it. Anything else is unethical and leaves a giant hole open for abuse. End of discussion.
English
@Mantislike @CX316 @navyroyce @PatrickLenton In fact, the article attached above shows that the median was 13 days for Track 1 nationally, which is longer than the 10 day period for other tracks. In total, 65 same day and 154 nex-day provisions were granted, a total of 219 or 4.9% of the MAID requests that were granted.

@sirenblep @WellLahDiDah An idea of mitigating cultural circumstances around serious crimes like murder was never put to a vote yet the IRCA has become defacto law. It is actual bureaucratic overreach and total lunacy, that tears at the social fabric and has no place in a functioning country.
English
the melting pot literally erases and assimilates people. the mosaic does not--but the mosaic is not even fully accurate in what Canada is. an ecosystem is better.
our problem is the fact our nuance and depth has been flattened by american cultural influence and colonization of our academia.
our judges don't view stuff like that. shit is more complex because they have to take into account the circumstances around shit. its not black or white.
English
Our culture isn’t rooted in ethnicity or blood or any of that. Anyone can become a Canadian if they adopt our civic values—agree to be a part of the community and treat others with a basic amount of respect and decency.
It means not insulting our history or our lives. They need to understand they are joining a project that it’s not a blank slate. It is something that has been built and created from those before us that we continue to work on.
I am so struggling to articulate myself right now lmao
Canadian Frog 🐸🇨🇦🍁@CowboyFrogster
@sirenblep Id rather have an immigrant who comes here, loves Canada and knows our culture than a “heritage” Canadian who doesn’t care about Canada or its culture
English
@sirenblep @WellLahDiDah A melting pot is a good thing for the health of a nation. It prevents the problems of foreign countries becoming the problems of Canada via their people voting. No Canadian should have a serious opinion on Khalistan yet it leaks onto our streets through unassimilated newcomers.
English
@sirenblep @WellLahDiDah You're presenting a naive concept of Canadian liberalism that doesn't recognize that not all cultures are equal in terms of egalitarianism and insularity, or that not all immigrants see it of any benefit to adopt or conform to new values. It almost feels like the 90s again.
English
@WellLahDiDah @Mantislike y'all--they are expected to adopt our civic values and culture. because thats literally the thing that enables people to bring their ethnic or traditional culture here and practice it without fear of persecution.
English
@sirenblep @WellLahDiDah 2. as a dated colonialist mindset that would value our own culture above others. Furthermore there are ethnic enclaves forming in different parts of the country and growing every day - where people do not need Canada's values or official languages to function day to day.
English
@sirenblep @WellLahDiDah 1. Trudeau Sr.'s multicultural mosaic is a different philosophy than the American melting pot. Which in part is why newcomers get leniency in courts based on their backgrounds. There's no demand on them to adopt our values. Our judges view imposing our values on new citizens
English
@FlimDaMentalist @CX316 @navyroyce @PatrickLenton The language and the policy is still really open-ended and the 10-day waiting period was a sane thing to have.
English
@CX316 @Mantislike @navyroyce @PatrickLenton Exactly. MAID is only expedited for extreme cases involving terminal illness and rapid degradation of QoL.
And at the end of the day, it doesn’t affect Schneider or anyone else. Let people choose to die with dignity if that’s their wish.
English
@jerseyh0mo The developed a lot of tech that is and can be used elsewhere. The hyper realistic VR meeting technology they developed and demoed a few years back is insane.

I forgot about this stupid shit but imagine if they poured $80 billion into feeding the hungry instead of this failed cartoon universe that nobody wanted
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Meta announces they'll be shutting down the Metaverse, after pouring $80,000,000,000.00 into the project.

@navyroyce @PatrickLenton So either you don’t know how to read or you are so desperate for things to fit into the narrative that you have crafted for yourself that you ignore facts that contradict them.

@WomanDefiner Wes left the band because he felt he had outgrown them and wanted to make art that was more progressive and went on to put out like 9 albums of the most derivative mid-tier slop music ever made.
English
What actually killed NuMetal was all the bands breaking up including Limp Bizkit . People forget that Limp Bizkit quit making music because Wes left the band. Same with System of a Down, coal chamber, stained, Mudvayne and a host of others.
Other bands completely changed their sound to chase trends like Paparoach and linkin Park.
NuMetal killed itself.
BowTiedYukon@BowTiedYukon
After ‘99 the CIA pushed hip hop into the mainstream because racially confused wiggers are easier to control than angry white boys fueled by NuMetal

@CrustPunk161 Imagine thinking you're superior for drinking corpo slop from a dairy plant instead of milk from healthy grass fed free range cows.
English
Alcohol and tobacco are available on every street corner, but stabbing yourself in the eye with a pen is "unsafe"

Alcohol and tobacco are available on every street corner, but drinking raw milk is "unsafe".

@mattsheffield Pretty sure the "Duggar Family" hasn't been apart of much of anything since Josh got popped about a decade ago.
English
Breaking: Former Christian right TV celeb Joseph Duggar has been charged with molesting a 9-year-old girl.
His older brother, Josh, is currently in prison for CSAM possession.
The Duggar family has been a major part of the Christian far right for years.
English
@BootleggedChad @snowwhiteofcats @saintsoftness Also, raw milk is more like an artisinal product, people buy it from farmers fridges made by grass fed free range cows they can see are in good health, whereas most of our grocery store milk is pulled from dairy plants where cows wallow in cramped conditions wallowing in shit...
English
@Mantislike @snowwhiteofcats @saintsoftness i think the frustration comes more from a confusion of risk/reward and the point of it. like sure, you could also drink moonshine that blinds you but you also have the option of drinking like, everclear. it seems stupid.
English
I can’t tell you how much I hate the raw milk thing. Pasteur is a genuine hero of biology! He established the germ theory of disease and made a thing that saved millions of lives public and free. And then you people were like, nah. Nevermind. Let’s die like idiots.
FactPost@factpostnews
The FDA has announced at least 7 people have contracted E. coli linked to cheddar cheese made from raw milk.
English
@BootleggedChad @snowwhiteofcats @saintsoftness I don't know what makes raw milk comparable to moonshine, but I would wager the amounts of severe injury and death aren't comparable at all. It's probably less deadly than Everclear, too.
