en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.
More exactly in this context, arguing against a claim I never made.

The difference is that one has gender dysphoria, the other does not. So although the operation is the same, it is not gender affirming care, because gender affirming care is by definition for people with gender dysphoria.

While banks here do use AWS, I seriously doubt they are used for the core bank business as in holding the actual account and transfer data.

They are not as important as some people seem to think, it would be a very good thing if a massive amount of customers would move away from those services.
The disruption would only be very temporary. - Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 3 days ago:
That’s not dysphoric but an issue with the standards for being what you feel you are.
Living up to ideals is not the same as being a prisoner in a body of a different gender than what you identify as.
Having a penis and hating it to a point where you want it removed, is not the same as having a penis that you think is to small.
Those are VERY different issues.The issues may be valid, they are just not the same as gender dysphoria.

That’s not gender affirming care. That’s just men practicing and enhancing their masculinity.
It may be founded in insecurities, but those would be treated by a psychologist if an actual treatment were to take place. - Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 4 days ago:
That’s like asking if you can have an arm treated for being broken when it’s not actually broken.
Or like having your penis treated to become a penis when it’s already a penis.What’s wrong with you?

I don’t think you can homogenize Americans.
Yes you can, USA is a country, and the government is acting on behalf of the whole population.
That is not about individuals that may disagree on all sorts of things, but the country as a whole, and what their administration, government and lawmakers are doing. - Comment on if I rip a fart, will putting a fan facing out the window or facing in from the window clear the stink out faster of the room? 2 weeks ago:
Having the fan blow out will mostly repeatedly replace the air by the window, as the air sucked by the fan is taken from the immediate surroundings, and that air is standing mostly still.
If you let the fan blow into the room however, it will be pushed further into the room, helping to move the air in the room more, and increasing how much air is actually shifted out.
The problem with taking in the air it blows from the immediate vicinity still exist, but normally there will be some movement in outside air, so the that is sucked fr4om the immediate vicinity is replaced by the natural wind replacing it outside.So blowing in replaces way more air on average, the exception being if it works against an airflow in the room in opposite direction.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 4 weeks ago:
Another example of a society that has lost its mind, and has become psychopathic, because they see sociopathy as a form of freedom. When instead it oppresses the population where it should help.
A Psychopathic solution to a problem that is also caused by psychopathy.
To call it a weapons free zone is disgusting, when we all know it’s to prevent the homeless from sleeping there. - Comment on Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe? 4 weeks ago:
You are making a straw man argument.
- Comment on Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe? 4 weeks ago:
It’s off-putting because it’s stupid, and being stupid is nor edgy.

IDK, I just think that movies where the actors are having sex that competes with porn movies is incredibly stupid and boring and doesn’t add anything to the movie. It’s like if we had similar scenes of the actors taking a poop. Like WTF are we seeing that for?
It’s not edgy, it’s not liberating, it’s just stupid and boring and honestly 99 times out of 100 off-putting.
IDK why the fuck they do it? One thing is if it’s a short clip, that an be OK, but in some movies these clips a freaking LONG, like yes we get it, they slept together, does the scene have to be sop long so I could go to the bathroom and not miss anything?Or am I weird, do people find it hot?
Usually in European movies it’s shorter and done more elegantly, American movies it’s becoming like hard core porn. - Comment on What should I do about my family? 4 weeks ago:
You may have heard this a thousand times, but if you are not a fit person, physical exercise can also strengthen your psyche.
I’m not suggesting this as the only thing you should do, but maybe in addition to better suggestions.
A regular run once a week together with some body building is amazing. - Comment on Can you purchase a burner phone anonymously in the US? 4 weeks ago:
Thanks for the explanation.
- Comment on Can you purchase a burner phone anonymously in the US? 4 weeks ago:
OK, that’s USA then, I don’t think you can do that legally here in Denmark.
- Comment on Can you purchase a burner phone anonymously in the US? 4 weeks ago:
Buying a phone anonymously is easy, you can do that in every phone store.
It’s the sim card that’s the problem. if you pay for your service with VISA, it’s not anonymous.

I would absolutely read the table of content, but I agree that price is insane.

I had a hard time spotting what is mildly infuriating, until I saw the SSD is 128GB. And I must say I have to agree, that is way to small.

- Comment on Attorney general: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools 5 weeks ago:
USA is a religiously fascist nation, where protection of minorities is banned, but religious and fascist bigotry against minorities is promoted.
I know a lot of Americans aren’t like that, but that’s the way the American society seems to be turning.

Yes we have shrinkflation on coffee, we used to have 400g packages special roast that they claimed could be used to make as many cups of coffee as a 500g, but of course that’s bullshit, and it taste worse IMO.
- Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
When I enter a place where coffee is brewing, the smell is amazing IMO.
Not liking coffee is kind of like not liking Chocolate IMO, the 2 beans are used very differently, chocolate is always with sweetener and often with cream.Have you tried coffee with a bit of cream in it? And maybe with a bit of sugar too.
But outside in nature there are so many much more appealing things to make into a drink
I think the stats disagree with you, not many drinks are more popular than coffee, I can only think of tea and beer that are equally popular.
- Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
That kind of cup is pretty normal here. Not as much as it used to be, but some people still prefer traditional coffee cups instead of mugs. And the little creamer thingy is pretty normal too if you use milk in your coffee.
Also most bars here would have bigger cups than that.
But it’s impossible to say for sure one way or the other. There is not a lot to go on in that picture. - Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
OK doesn’t look like a bar tom me.
OP is not clear about that.
But yes buying out is always expensive. - Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
AFAIK drip coffee is made from ground coffee.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drip_coffee - Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
It’s actually worse here, prices on ground coffee have more than tripled since 3 years ago.
Back the we could get a 500g pack for a little less than $3.50 USD, now we get only 400g for $10, when on special offer you may be lucky to find it at $7.
So needless to say I always buy several bags when it’s on special offer. But even then it’s more than twice the price of 3 years ago. - Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 5 weeks ago:
Probably a lemmy issue, if you saved the edited picture in the same format as the original.

Sometimes speed bumps are pretty bad even when you drive under the limit.

It’s about the fourth lighter stripe in front of the car.
It looks like a sun stripe.
