Bruh like how the fuck can someone eat 70 hotdogs in 10 minutes? I eat a large chicken sandwich meal from Popeyes, and I can’t even look at food for the rest of the day.

My son and I just started playing COD Mobile again. It’s fun to grind. It’s absolutely a cash grab, but we don’t get involved with that part of it. It’s really the only game that I play these days, as I’m not really a gamer.
He plays a few other games on his phone and Xbox.
I’ll be staying home this year. There is nothing to celebrate. At this point I’d rather watch it all burn down.
You think the democrats would actually do that? They’d make a big deal about how they won’t do that, because they are cowards. The only spine they ever grow is when their corporate owners tell them to. Other than that, they care about nothing but maintaining the status quo.
Relax everyone, this is all a part of the democratic process.
That sounds pretty provocative. They should send the marines, and some air support, just in case someone raises their voice. Loudness is violence.
The V3i, I paid full price for that phone when it came out. I modded that thing as much as I possibly could!
She was kidnapped, and is being held somewhere against her will. This is absolutely insane, and not at all surprising. Doesn’t seem like the actual law enforcement will do anything about it? Or perhaps they are the ones feeding the info to the collaborators?
That has to be terrifying for her family.
trans-rights activists like to accuse skeptics of youth gender medicine—and publications that dare to report their views—of fomenting a “moral panic.” But the movement has spent the past decade telling gender-nonconforming children that anyone who tries to restrict access to puberty blockers and hormones is, effectively, trying to kill them. This was false, as Strangio’s answer tacitly conceded. It was also irresponsible.
Just an excerpt of a hostility ridden article.
Here is a study that shows of 220 youth trans participants, 9 of them regretted it. Of those 9, 4 stopped receiving that care, and 1 planned to stop.
So instead of focusing on droning on and on about the whole “dead son or alive trans daughter” shit, let’s look at actual stats.
For everyone else, however, the choice is still open. We can support civil-rights protections for transgender people without having to endorse an experimental and unproven set of medical treatments—or having to repeat emotionally manipulative and now discredited claims about suicide.
I am not a fan of the American way of settling political disputes, by kicking them over to an escalating series of judges. But in the case of youth gender medicine, the legal system has provided clarity and disclosure that might otherwise not exist. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s oral questioning in Skrmetti and the discovery process in Alabama, we now have a clearer picture of how youth gender medicine has really been operating in the United States, and an uncomfortable insight into how advocacy groups and medical associations have tamped down their own concerns about its evidence base. Those of us who have been urging caution now know that many of our ostensible opponents had the same concerns. They just smothered them, for political reasons.
Interesting, but not backed by science it seems.
Also, this is Helen Lewis, the author of this “well written piece” writing for The Times in 2017:
What the government proposes is a radical rewriting of our understanding of identity: now it’s a question of an internal essence — a soul, if you will. Being a woman or a man is now entirely in your head. In this climate, who would challenge someone with a beard exposing their penis in a women’s changing room? That’s why feminists have raised the alarm over the move to self-identification, along with some older trans people who fear that “trendsters” will erode the goodwill they have worked hard to acquire.
It seems that this Author might be a bit biased against trans people even existing in general, no?
This shit needs to stop.
ETA: This took 15 minutes to research and write. @Davriellelouna@lemmy.world, you ought to do better. If something seems to go against the grain of what every reputable medical body suggests for treatment of something, you might want to do a bit of due diligence first.
I don’t have much wisdom to provide. I’ve felt like something was wrong with me for a number of years now. I would experience things differently, or at least that is what I was told, than reality. Things like being slighted by friends, being excluded, being left behind. They tell me it’s all in my head, but even today, I’m not so sure.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 a few years ago, after an involuntary stay at an inpatient facility. For the years leading up to the diagnosis, doctors just kept proscribing random antidepressants in increasing dosages that did not help. With one doctor, it got to the point where they were suggesting that ECT might be what I needed.
The Bipolar 2 diagnosis helped make sense of many of the symptoms that I have. While things have improved, they have not really gotten better. I’m lucky that I have my son, who lives with me. Without him, I’d be alone. The few friends I have live an hours drive away, and I am not close with them anymore. We rarely speak. I’ve pushed plenty of people away.
I can’t help but feel that I am the problem.
My son and I went to Pride yesterday, and I held back tears a few times, seeing groups of friends celebrating. I don’t know what that’s like, not anymore.
Yeah, I feel like the “crazy” person in almost any situation I am in.
Before streaming services were a thing, I had a very carefully curated and tagged music collection. But these days? Streaming is fine. There are a few songs, less than 10 out of a library of ~ 800, that I’ve added manually.
But you don’t own it!
For most people, they don’t care about that. They care about convenience. Open an app, search for a playlist/genre/band/song and hit play.
AI music sucks, because it is so bland and boring. It is certainly possible that it will get better, but for the genres I listen to, I highly doubt that.
