Not yet. As far as I understand, the target is 2028 with a phased rollout: first emergency services, then tests like radiology, CAT scans, etc, then dental & optometry last. At every stage the elderly will be prioritized, then children, then everyone else. The phased rollout is to build capacity so the system doesn’t get overrun and collapse.

Doesn’t even need to be a particularly shitty name. All that’s necessary is the individual feels strongly enough about not being called their deadname.

And when payment was late, that resulted in the first recorded labour strike

That’s the most jew argument I’ve heard.

If you want to point to Israeli tactics, call them Israeli. Conflating Judaism and Israel, making them one and the same, that’s doing Israel’s work for them.

That Funny Feeling hit me like a pallet of bricks to the face when I first heard it. Couldn’t stop sobbing for an hour. Still makes me tear up after so many relistens.

It’s relative. It’s not exactly a reasonable, balanced position, but it’s more reasonable than the alternative which is clear and unambiguous war crimes, and possibly meets the criteria for genocide.

We knew what Trump’s policy was on the campaign trail:

On Iran, Project 2025 advocates a markedly more confrontational stance, denigrating diplomacy and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in favor of barely veiled advocacy for regime change.

She’d likely be another Biden: not directly assisting Israel in aggression, but too cowardly to call them out in any meaningful way.

Again, there’s a difference between complicity via silence, and complicity via an active bombing campaign. Neither is good by any stretch of the imagination, but the latter is clearly worse than the former.

There’s a difference between known liar Trump, who contradicts himself from one sentence to the next, and Kamala, who is a bog-standard politician. This is just a hypothetical of course, but I think it’d be incredibly likely that Kamala would have continued economically suppressing Iran via sanctions, maybe some half-hearted attempts at another nuclear deal, but would have had advisors presenting what military aggression would mean for the region (including the economic damage of them blocking the strait) to prevent her from pushing this far. She’d likely be another Biden: not directly assisting Israel in aggression, but too cowardly to call them out in any meaningful way.

Anyone with a functioning brain could see Trump was talking out of his ass on this topic, especially when project 2025 explicitly talks about waging a regime change war on Iran and assisting Israel in bombing Iran.

I’m no fan of Kamala, but vague gesturing towards stopping nuclear armament (it even says in that picture “diplomatic solution still preferable”) is different from a full mask-off declaration that they’re going to commit warcrimes.

He’s not nuts and he’s never been nuts. He’s a grifter who’s always been very capable of saying what his audience wants to hear. This is what Tucker thinks the Republican base wants to hear, not anything to do with truth, lies, sanity or insanity.

Another old joke:

A polish man finds a magic lamp. He wishes for a horde of Mongolians to come to Poland, pillage, and go home.

The genie thinks this is odd, but obliges. The mongolians arrive after many months, pillage, then return home.

The man refuses to make another wish for a few months. Then, as his second wish, he wishes for a horde of Mongolians to come to Poland again.

The genie, really not understanding this man at all, snaps his fingers, and then another horde spends many more months travelling to Poland to pillage once more.

The pole, after a few more months of waiting, makes his final wish: another Mongolian horde to pillage Poland.

The genie, completely dumbstruck, complies.

The genie asks, “Why? Why would you want Mongolian hordes to come to your land to kill and pillage?”

The pole responds, “If they came to Poland three times, it means they went through Russia 6 times.”

TELL ME HOW THE GRASS TASTES, LITTLE MAN!

So I guess copyleft licenses like CC BY enforce mandatory ads, by your logic?

Ah yes, those important capitalist building blocks of stockee, ownersaep, capitcs, mrodptc and saoafts.

Fight the systen.

Also, guy on left is clearly an alien, and therefore should be deported. No human has 4 arms.

Those people 100% exist and they are not an insignificant minority. All I’m saying is that platforms like YouTube, X, Facebook, etc are amplifying those voices. They have an outsized voice in online communication.

Seems far too credible for this community.

China has been very obvious with their movements lately.

In a world of unpredictability and uncertainty, presenting your country as stable and certain is extremely profitable.

Where are you going? If it’s online, remember the people that run the major platforms have a vested interest in reducing your opinion of other human beings.

If you stroke me out, I’ll become more powerful than you think, or whatever.

This is propaganda. Regret rate of GAC is less than 1%. If, as this person claims, this is “experimental surgery” performed “unnecessarily” to enrich doctors, how are they getting some of the lowest regret rates in the field of medicine?

WPATH standard requires 3 years, if I remember correctly, of therapy during which the patient is insistent, persistent and consistent in their gender identity to even BEGIN to be allowed to access care. There’s reasonable evidence that the current requirements might be depriving some children of care they need. Acting like medical professionals acting extremely cautiously on the best evidence we currently have is some crazy experimental cowboy shit is about as bad as vaccine denialism.

Let’s look at the flip side of the coin: without access to GAC, trans people have hugely increased risk of suicide and self-harm. It is absolutely not an overstatement to say that trying to further restrict access to GAC will cause the needless death of children.
