"In defence, Daniel Wood told the court he'd been battling with his gender identity for some time"
I hate to be the one to point this out, but neither male nor female gender identity, but especially not female gender identity, suggests that you should expose your genitals to little children. Not once have I been out with my wife, and hear her go "oh no! It's my feminine urge to show people my genitals in public!" -- not even once!
In fact, most men will admit -- if only in private -- that it's actually quite difficult to convince most women to show you their genitals.

Wouldn't be a problem if people could be financially responsible. A 50-year mortgage could end up being something you take out, then you pay minimum payments for a few years while getting established, then you pay it down in a highly accelerated manner once you're solid.
Instead, people go "Oh, I can take out a 50 year mortgage, so instead of borrowing 1 million, I can borrow 1.3 million! it's only a 6000/mo payment!" and then they just run out the clock on a 50 year mortgage. End result is just higher prices period.
Take out a 50 year mortgage at a low rate then pay it off in 15-20, and it's just cheap insurance.
The really great thing for household affordability would be to limit mortgages to the golden ratio of 3 years wages. But nobody would allow that.

Progs electing a goldman sachs investment banker is the most hilarious self-own I've ever seen. They don't believe a thing that comes out of their mouths either, obviously.
Whatever do you mean? The boomers are so nice and respectful, always thinking of the future!
I don't think we talk enough about the potential unforseen consequences of taking drugs that fundamentally rewire the reward centers of our brains.
Great, it makes you skinny. What other decisions are different as a result of fiddling with brain chemistry? Could it make people less ambitious? Could it make people more accepting of bad actions by the rich and powerful? Could it make you choose more subtle decisions differently? If you take something that fundamentally changes something like that about you, are you really the same person? What if you go on to make a bunch of decisions that you would agree with on such drugs that you agree with at the time and aren't huge, but over the course of years you become someone who is alien to yourself when you're not on those drugs?

Freedom toons successfully funded their new animated series. That's nice to see. The more we support media from people who don't hate us, the better off the future will look.
In college, I called it the HUMAN DAY STAR because my classes were in the lab in the basement and the days were long, so for a good chunk of the year I didn't see the sun.
People who want to change the world need to change themselves first. How can they think they can change everyone if they can't even change themselves?
Any NGO that primarily gets its funding from governments should be renamed GO and be treated as such.
I was looking in the mirror going "Oh shit, really losing my hair now, it's over bros" then I looked over at my wedding picture and realized that's just always been my hairline.
For now, at least.

The idea that anyone invented shaving the sides of your head is kinda silly when you think about it.
I know the reference, and it's annoying how accurate it is.
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Funny that such people often lie flagrantly, yet they don't allow themselves to be punished in the way they want others punished.
I'd like a similar law up here, and if you have been a US citizen and lived primarily in the US for more than 10 years, you're also barred from engaging in electioneering.
I'm looking at you, Mike Myers. Why are you commenting on the politics of a company you haven't lived in for generations? Don't you have interns to destroy for casting their gaze too long upon your visage?

And this isn't as bad as it can get -- Let's see a new batch of stimmie checks go out, and everyone will be wishing for 7% mortgages. Even a 50 year amortization isn't going to save you from huge payments.
Don't get me wrong, there's a seed of truth in the idea of cutting recurring costs so you have more money you can put away. The problems are obviously that a lot of people aren't able to go do expensive things. I'm sure I'm not the only one rocking a 7 year old phone from the last time when they used to give you a new phone for 'free' every 2 years.
