No you probably haven’t been knocked out multiple times for seconds. Or you have a very rare brain condition that triggers that on light taps.

I’m talking about ROS, which you can’t overdose on in the course of a day, but which are damaging your DNA and therefore cause cancer.
Why are you so hostile?

So is oxygen, but you gotta keep breathing.
The sun at least also makes you happy.

No reason. It’s just that when there wasn’t anything to experience it, nobody asked themselves that question.
So the question is a consequence of our existence, and that’s the answer

Ha, I mean, it’s not like there is a huge buy-in. If there was a good convenient service again, I’d start using it. When it invariably it goes to shit, I’ll stop paying and go back to downloading. Just like I did with Netflix.
If enough people stopped paying because of their bullshit, maybe that would pave the way for a a platform where you actually feel like you own the shit you paid for.

Not able to afford?
If there was a reasonably-priced ad-free service you could pay for to get complete shows, many would do it.

Try spending a new year’s eve in e.g. Germany.
everybody above the age of 15 can and will start fireworks in close vicinity to everyone else doing it. You do not feel safe.

We could maybe give people like her a glimpse into the sheer defiance that nature has against all attempts to fit into tiny categorical boxes.
It’s not just the topics that she doesn’t understand (especially the intersection of gender with endocrinology and neurology), but everything.
If you are a biologist and think you have found a rule that applies to some part of biology, you will feel deeply uncomfortable until the inevitable exceptions start cropping up that tell you that while the theory is still statistically sound, it’s not unnaturally strict and therefore plausible.
Obviously trans people exist and are valid. Thinking otherwise would be ignoring mountains of biological patterns and data that tell us that every binary in biology isn’t actually clean-cut.
- Comment on J.K. Rowling Blasts “Gender Taliban” David Tennant After ‘Harry Potter’ Actor Said “Whinging” Trans Critics Are On “Wrong Side Of History” 4 months ago:
As a biologist, your statement would amuse me if there wasn’t so much harm being done to trans and gender non-conforming people.
TERFs invoke half-remembered high-school level biology as if it was mathematical fact. In actual biological reality, nothing is binary or absolute.

How about being a compassionate human being who tries to understand the conversation partner’s fears without bowing down to misinformation? If that’s not enough for them because they see debunking their bunk as personal attack, I don’t think anyone in their cult is an acceptable conversation partner for them.

- Comment on Windows just changed the desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update 5 months ago:
I agree with you here. As soon as you change something, that should be respected but as long as you use the default theme/wallpaper/… that could just as well mean that you prefer tracking the default or don’t care at all.
Now bringing back the explicitly disabled search bar really is atrocious
- Comment on Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is crumbling 5 months ago:
The fabrication part is definitely real. He has an extensive list of rules that his roles have to follow. E.g. his character can not die, can’t be a villain, and may only be punched twice or things like that.
- Comment on Anon catches his wife 6 months ago:
I’m not disagreeing with your core message: monogamy isn’t “older” than polygamy. But Nether is it the other way around: We probably did both since very long ago.
The notion that there’s a human “tech tree” of civilization is wrong. E.g. Agriculture doesn’t “follow” hunting and gathering, and neither does centralized power (like in a state) “follow” agriculture. Humans have been experimenting with social structures since basically the beginning.
So within the last tens of millenia, there were probably societies that were monogamous, some that were polygamous, and some that rotated or did both, and of these some depending on some social stratification and some depending on personal preference.

- Comment on Anon catches his wife 6 months ago:
Traditional relationship models are so weird.
Making up all these different definitions of “cheating” vs “emotional cheating” and distinguishing them from other instances of hurtfully not honoring agreements.
It’s just that: people have an agreement with each other and one of them expressed that it’s very important for them emotionally for the other to honor it. Then the other didn’t. That expectedly hurts.
Why is there a special word when the agreement is about sex?
