  The article interviews several parents talking about their kid’s gender and the kid’s opinion is never mentioned. Narcissists of the world rejoice!

  A year later, his daughter stopped taking the hormone after it “didn’t make her happy” and is now living as a girl again.

  Like any medication ever prescribed… it might not help and you might have to stop taking it.

  The irony of all ironies is how similar the words “conservation” and “conservative” are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a God or God's is so Omnipotent why do they or them or he or she, supposedly get angry, show support, enjoy things, have sex (in Greek Gods), or show forgiveness? Are the not all human emotes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the Star Trek universe, there is an episode in which the ship travels to primitive world (Mintaka III) and the crew accidentally reveal themselves to the humanoid people there who are similar to bronze-era humans. The Mintakins think the captain of the ship (Picard) is a God because he obviously has powers they cannot comprehend. He rejects their beliefs that he is a supreme being and in the most beautiful ending possible, they listen to logic and believe him. But the climax in the story hinges around whether or not Picard can prove to these people he is not a god before he and the crew have to leave, leaving the peoples’ imaginations to run wild with what “God wants” from them. They almost murder someone, believing Picard is angry at them for something the person did.

  The point of the story is to provide a scientifically feasible explanation for humanity’s belief in gods as essentially aliens who visited long ago and were unable to prevent humans from letting their imaginations run wild with tales of what the gods do, how powerful they are, and what they want from the people on earth. Over the course of thousands of years, there is no limit to how our imaginations can bend such an experience, twisting it into the culture of the time of the visit and adjusting over time to fit more and more into the development and history of societies.

  But it doesn’t take a visit from aliens to start a religion. We have all seen things we can’t explain. Schizophrenia exists. Con artists manipulate reality to steal from people. Psychedelics exist naturally. Once-in-a-generation storms cause mass destruction. There are so many possible explanations for gods other than omniscient, all-powerful beings.

  If you look at the bottom you’ll notice the watch has correctly identified you as operating in beta mode. You should practice mindfulness to be more aware of what’s going on around you e.g. your watch’s settings.

  Borders defined by conflict, competition for resources, in-groups and out-groups. We’re all the same thing and evolution defines it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to the Dem Party in America? It's kind of like once Kamala lost, which they deserved, and lost congress. They ran like a dog with its tail between its legs instead of fighting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Were you not watching the past 20 years? If not, you missed the warnings. Pelosi gave an 8 hour filibuster speech just in 2018. Should they have been grabbing guns and throwing fists? The aggressor and instigator has always been the right-wing. If you don’t see it, you tuned in too late or bought into their propaganda. Or, like the left, you believe the anti-american propaganda that positions the Dems as controlled opposition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Vladimir Putin a good and professional leader?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Putin was in his 30s or so when the Soviet Union dissolved. He’s an opportunist who saw the profit potential in a huge fire sale of the country’s economy. His wealth is roughly estimated to be $200 billion, all of it stolen from the people in various rackets since coming to power. The Russian people saw their country “lose” to the USA and, demoralized, they were disempowered to do anything about it.

  Today the USA parallels this structure, with conservatives leading the defeatist, fatalist belief that we’ve “lost” to China, a narrative Trump fuels every chance he gets as it provides a shield from what he’s really doing. Every single crazy thing he does is a distraction from the financial racket being run by his family, who faded from the news cycle as soon as his second term began.

  Your question employs a false right-wing premise. When your needs are taken care of, you won’t want to be high all day. The desire to work or contribute to a greater cause is endemic to our species.
