We need to move to single payer healthcare and just eliminate the need for insurance companies.

I was speaking figuratively when I said all babies are swaddled. You decided to chime in with an irrelevant AkShEwAlLy, so claiming I'm too ignorant to participate in the conversation is very much a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I accept you lack the capacity as a person to admit you were wrong and concede, so instead I bid you good day and hope that someday someone better than you will inspire you to become better yourself.

Explain to me how you saw a link covering literal and figurative language and still decided to ask such an ignorant question.

So not at birth then?

Since we're just linking wikipedia articles that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

You're right. No one has ever swaddled a baby, certainly not often enough that we have a specific word for it. It stands to reason no one has ever handed a baby to their mother either.

When does your mother start treating you differently based on sex?

Now that I think about it, you're right. If you're a male, you get swaddled and handed to your mother, but if you're female, you get swaddled and handed to your mother.

Shouldn't it be that you identify with your birth sex? If gender is a social construct you don't have a gender at birth. When the doctor says "It's a boy" they're referring to the genitalia you have, not assigning you a social position.

API calypse was right there for the taking.

It's ok so far. It's a lot more fragmented than reddit, which is a good thing in the long term even though it's annoying now.

I'd also like there to be an easier way for me to filter topics I don't want to see, like communities for languages I don't speak or furry porn.

I would love to see a way to block communities from my feed directly from my feed. As it stands, it appears that I have to go to the main community page to do so.
