That's really cool.

That you can read, that is. Sorry, I should've clarified. It's cool that you can read. I was starting to have doubts, after you failed to identify what part of My Shadow Is Purple equates to self-harm. You know, a children's book that you seem to have been incapable of reading? That one. The one where I linked you to a video of the book being read aloud (just in case you couldn't read), and you still didn't provide an answer to. Remember that? I remember.

Anyway. Now here's a peer-reviewed study on the efficacy of gender-affirming healthcare:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9341318/

Transgender patients experience disproportionate disparities in mental health, physical health, homelessness, and violence. These disparities are not inevitable, however. Gender-affirming care has consistently been shown to improve quality of life, improve health outcomes, and reduce rates of SI and SAs.

Note from me, "SI" refers to "Suicidal Ideation" and "SA" refers to "Suicide Attempt". Figured I should explain this, since I know with 100% certainty that you won't bother to read the paper, just like you didn't read My Shadow Is Purple.

Or, here's another study specifically about puberty blockers:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7073269/

After adjustment for demographic variables and level of family support for gender identity, those who received treatment with pubertal suppression, when compared with those who wanted pubertal suppression but did not receive it, had lower odds of lifetime suicidal ideation (adjusted odds ratio = 0.3; 95% confidence interval = 0.2–0.6).

Fuck off with your bad faith arguments, bud. Seriously. You're just straight-up objectively wrong in your beliefs, which are founded on misinformation and hate, and I will prove it to you every. single. fucking. time. if you allow me the opportunity.

Since you didn't read My Shadow Is Purple, here's a quote from a book you're probably more familiar with, judging from your deep-rooted hate:

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Oh hey, it's you, spouting more transphobic bullshit again. Remember the other day when you were upset, thinking everybody was mad at you for no reason?

This is the reason.

Any object falling uncontrollably out of the sky can kill somebody.

Just FYI, interfering with any drone, even a hobbyist drone flown by a perv spying on you, is a VERY serious crime. The FAA doesn't fuck around with that, because drones are considered aircraft under their jurisdiction. They'll go after you as hard as they would if you took down a fully-occupied 747.

More often than not, you'll get in worse trouble for interfering with a drone than the pilot will for whatever crimes they may be committing with it. It's not worth it. Your best bet is to just report it and go inside.

More and more developers seem to assume everyone else can afford what they consider to be cheap, and feel entitled to gobble up all the resources on other people’s systems as if they aren’t needed for anything else.

It's adding insult to injury when most of these games are now also launching at $70-80 these days, too.

If you're paying $20/TB, you're probably getting ripped off with some counterfeit garbage from a no-name Chinese Amazon seller that's not even close to the advertised capacity. I wouldn't put anything on one of those drives that I have any intention of keeping for longer than a week at that price.

Majora's Mask is my favorite game. Not just favorite Zelda, but favorite game, period. It always breaks my heart to see people not being able to enjoy it the way I enjoy it, because there's so much excellent storytelling in that game. While Nintendo deconfirmed the "stages of grief" fan theory, it's still a lot more fun playing through the game with that theory in mind, because it truly fits the game so well, and adds a lot of depth to the experience.

For what it's worth, the 3DS version is far superior to the original N64 release. Lots of QoL improvements (though I'm actually not a fan of how the bosses were redesigned) and some progression elements were streamlined a bit. I feel like most people playing MM for the first time are doing themselves a disservice playing the original.

Well duh, that's because it's a ddep dive.

But now we know.

The author does not understand how science works. We don't "know" anything from this study. Theories can be developed, but nothing can be concluded as factual with this data. In fact, the entire article is full of contradictory statements. Like later, there's a quote from the researcher that specifically says that they don't know:

“Another explanation could be that smoking causes inflammation in the brain, which in the long term can damage parts of the brain and lead to various mental disorders. But as I said: We don't know for sure as yet."

Another issue with this is that they're conflating "being admitted to a hospital with a mental illness" with "having a mental illness". Those are not the same statistic. I'm not sure how it is in the UK (where the patient data was pulled from), but I imagine that they don't exactly have the greatest access to mental health services, as is the case with most places these days. In the US at least, being hospitalized for a mental illness is basically a last resort, often times only made available to somebody after a suicide attempt or some other form of psychotic break. In the US, you're basically only hospitalized for mental health if you either:

A: Hurt yourself
B: Hurt somebody else
C: Have a lot of money, as mental health services are often poorly covered by insurance, if they are covered at all

It's not uncommon to receive a diagnosis of a mental illness way before a hospital admission, and often way after having symptoms. For an anecdote, I didn't receive my depression diagnosis until I was about 30 (which, incidentally, was the same year I started regularly consuming nicotine), even though I'd had symptoms since I was at least 15. I've also never been hospitalized for my mental health, so it's unclear how this study would categorize me, were I a UK citizen included in the dataset.

There's also the problem with the selective dataset being used. From the original paper, they seem to have only sampled data from white people. Again, things may be a bit different in the UK, but in the US there are pretty significant differences in smoking habits between people of different races, something which couldn't possibly be factored in with such a restrictive dataset. There are also racial discrepancies regarding access to mental health services in general, as well.

If anything this may show that there there's a genetic predisposition to having addictive personality traits. Which... we've already known for a while now. Much like depression and other mental illnesses, those are commonly hereditary conditions. This author doesn't seem to be aware that correlation does not equal causation.
