I’m deliberately vague about the form of this help because I think that trying to keep track of who owns what is actively harmful to human society and we should abolish private property entirely.

It won’t help the kleptos so much as it will limit the impact of their offenses to the personal scale rather than industrial or national scales.

And instead of getting them help with their kleptomania, we built an economy where the richest thieves control the world.

The other point I made in my first comment is that we live in a democracy and we know that if there’s one thing that most people are still not on board with is accommodation of transgender people beyond what is already afforded by current civil rights, which is what transgender activists ask for.

Hence the slogan “Trans rights are human rights”. We don’t need “accomodation”, we just need the same right to bodily autonomy that’s afforded to everyone else. Opposition to trans rights is just the tip of the same spear currently stabbing at women’s rights, gay folks’ rights, and minority rights in general.

Whether or not other people are “on board” with the individual right to self-determination is entirely irrelevant. Either trans kids can get the medicine they and their doctors agree is best, or our government has pulled a China and taken the right to make your own medical decisions away from you. There is no middle ground.

Sorry to say but in this matter you are at the mercy of the masses, so you’ll need to convince them and I think that finding the root cause of transgender identity is key to that.

Just like how finding the gay gene was going to bring equality to gays, right?

No, I’m afraid I can’t take you seriously. You’re “just asking questions” and about issues that were settled over 40 years ago and pretending at reasonable dissent based on nothing more substantial than 90’s talk radio talking points.

Again, please read an actual research paper from a reputable medical or psychological association. Take your time with it and google all the $5 science words that aren’t familiar to you. You’ll learn a lot more that way.

You can’t refer to the fact that science progresses over time as an excuse to ignore the current state of the art, that’s asinine.

I’m nonbinary. Actual research studies on the efficacy of hormone therapy for nonbinary people only started getting published like 8 years ago, ~20 years too late for me to get on puberty blockers.

I had to wait decades for the medicine that saved me from dysphoria and depression, you don’t get to wield your ignorance on the topic as an argument against other people getting the care their doctors recommend.

Please, please go read what the actual M.D.s and psychologists who study this topic for a living have to say on the subject.

Not a news article or a blog post, I want you to go to any reputable medical association, find their official policy, and read the research papers listed in the references.

With enough insulation, anything can meet energy-efficiency standards. XD

“In the USA” and “by large portions of the capitalist class” are the answers to your question, I think the previous commenter was just a bit too incredulous because this topic came up in the news lately and they’d expected it to be common knowledge even outside the U.S. since much of the “AI Industry” is involved with U.S. tech companies.

Hell yeah

You’re not far off the surveyed results!

Turns out it isn’t more economic, as you have to substitute the energy that’s carried away by the evaporating water with a commensurate amount of radiators and the extra electric power needed to pump through that cooling loop:

I’ve got plenty of daddy issues, but a daddy fetish isn’t one of them. XD

I’m just glad that there’s room for people to be weird in their own ways on the internet.

That looks like some trans joy to me~<3

So long as we’re not talking the 1820’s

Omg, right?

She’s so real, left the creases in her flag and everything~<3

Let people be horny, it’s the only thing keeping the corpo shitheads out of this place.

It seems like it’d be a great space for niche and even moderately sized communities too, but it’s never going to catch on. XD

Mostly Retroshare, because the P2P and friend-of-a-friend onion routing are really compelling features.

Likewise! I know the idea isn’t practical, I just love all the weirdness that comes with taking something that’s only technically feasible and pushing that thought to extremes. XD

Well, before I started hormone therapy I didn’t see much need for hope, but these days I’m determined to grow into a cute old fart that inspires the weird queer kids of the future and I’m taking much better care of myself. 😺

Oh, don’t even get me started on P2P distributed apps. That shit is so fucking cash but I can never convince anyone to use them. >_<
