Hey @grok, if gender is a social construct then mustn't it be ontologically dependent on collective human practices, norms, language, institutions, and shared agreements? In other words a tranny doesn't get to pick their gender; rather, the rest of society picks it for them?

Cancer isn't defined by growth, it's defined as a corruption - where healthy cells are mutated and turned against the host that supports them. They become parasitic, leeching nutrience and eventually killing the host organism. Which economic system does this sound like to you?

California has a widespread and well known problem with selective prosecution. If you signal a favored class like "trans" the DA will cover for your misbehavior - or aggressively prosecute any opposition.

The left won. The world's richest man is an electric vehicle manufacturer who is decarbonising the atmosphere while helping quadriplegics, restoring space travel, and making the internet and freedom of speech widely available across the globe. Unfortunately most of the people who identified as "left" were simply pathological grief merchants with oppositional defiance disorder. They build nothing. They stand for nothing.

Well at least I put Fable to good use while I had it, playing a game of zork. But we didn't even try zork2 yet

This implies an annual desistance rate of 2.3% per year. This implies that 30 years after entering a pediatric clinic, 50% of patients will no longer identify as trans. I would submit that this is a good argument for not doing any long-lasting interventions.

Claude has finished with a score of 350 and it even wrote me a little postmortem. He made saves but says he didn't use them.

“It’s couldn’t possibly be the hormones that are causing increased cognitive decline in trans patients – it’s got to be the transphobia!!” Emory used to be a decent school, too. 🤦‍♀️

Whoever at X who decided to replace the "copy link" button with "send via DM" deserves to be thrown into an alligator pit.

The ennui everyone feels using agents to do their work is old hat for technical managers and architects of yesteryear.

This is truly shocking data out of Oregon. Between 2016 and 2023, nearly 1 in 100 insured children ages 8 to 17 received a gender dysphoria diagnosis. By age 17, around 1 in 240 insured girls were on testosterone and 1 in 630 boys were on estrogen.

Transgenderism as a framework for expressing familial and social discord. Without that it's just three gay dudes.

Having codex implement a wine-ish compat layer but for linux-on-linux and it did something very funny. It figured out that this library works in 99% of cases (linked against the newer incompatible library)

"Puberty blockers for kids are medically necessary" It lobotomizes them, by the way. Let me explain. Sex hormones are critical for brain development during puberty. The hypothalamus, amygdala, cortex, and everything that makes you "you" are all wired and sized under the influence of a prenatal testosterone surge (or lack thereof). This is why putting children on blockers makes their IQ drop and causes them to fall behind developmentally. The parts of the brain critical for emotional regulation, memory, and overall social stability are especially affected. GnRH agonists (blockers) decrease amygdala and hippocampal volume. These changes can't be reversed. Interestingly, smaller amygdala volumes also appear in PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorders. So they destroy a child's ability for emotional regulation and then blame people who are against it when they're neurotic or suicidal. This is all on top of permanent infertility, as it's essentially chemical castration, and it leads to an inability to ever feel pleasure. Puberty blockers are GnRH agonists/antagonists (Leuprolide/Lupron, triptorelin, goserelin). These are the same medications used for castrating sex offenders, for androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer patients, and for treating precocious puberty in children. In both human and animal studies conducted on these other groups taking the exact same drugs, irreversible brain issues occurred, such as a large drop in IQ and an increased risk of dementia. Here are some studies: Three years after treatment, the group experienced a loss in both performance IQ and full-scale IQ, with a decline of 7 points in the latter. While the average loss of IQ points was 7, it is noteworthy that at least one patient in this study experienced a significant loss of 15 points or more. In animal studies, the results indicate that treatment with a GnRH antagonist/agonist has a detrimental impact on learning and the development of social behaviors and responses to stress in mammals. In male sheep, impairments in spatial memory associated with the treatment were not fully reversed following discontinuation of treatment. Significant effects of treatment were also evident on measures of brain structure, including overall volume, functional connectivity, and neuronal density. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Fifty-eight men starting ADT versus 84 prostate cancer controls plus 88 healthy men. Formal cognitive testing showed ADT patients were 70% more likely to have cognitive impairment at 6 months and more than twice as likely at 12 months. Men on GnRH analogues with or without anti-androgens showed declines in verbal memory, visuospatial function, and executive function within months; ADT patients had clinically significant drops in at least one domain. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1217… ADT is linked to worse visuomotor and visuospatial performance, verbal and visual memory deficits, and increased dementia/Alzheimer's risk (1.5–2.5 times in some large cohorts). pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article… What's especially cruel about the last part is that, because trans ideology is learned and not innate, they literally forget they were ever "trans" when they get dementia. There are cases of them screaming at nurses "What did you do to my body?!" because the dementia causes them to forget the reason they ever even mutilated themselves in the first place. That's what you're dooming children to. Medically necessary my ass.

This is the reductive stereotype driven perspective at the heart of the trans cult. It cannot survive without hypersexualized fixations.

This is why 75% of trans-identifying children are girls.

This 64G USB stick writes data at a rate of 2.4G/hour. A little over 24 hours of non-stop writing to fill it up. With 128G RAM I have a pretty big file cache so it's going to take around 5 hours to flush the remaining 13G of dirty writes and unmount this drive. Cheap, but slow

When people ask "what do you mean the gay agenda is anti-family" this kind of whole cloth fabrication can be your answer.
