Seems like people had a great time today. We cooked too much food, as usual, lol. It won't last long. Have a good night. 😴

Children are confused about many things, that's why we don't let them make permanent decisions. Secondly, the bombardment of hormones in our water, in forever plastics and crappy food have sharply changed our hormones. Teenage boys today have the testosterone level that our grandfathers had at 70. Don't tell met that doesn't affect them.

Again. I suspect you are fine with banning books, and specifically banning books to children. Just not these books.

I have a lot of empathy for transgenders, who I think are mostly affected by the combination of social manipulation and messed up hormones into taking treatments that forever sterilizes them. Though as a libertarian I will not put anything in their way of harming themselves, I think they actually need help accepting who they really are instead of undergoing mutulation.

Children should be protected from the social constructionists that let them make undergo life altering medical treatments for a possibly temporary confusion about their sex. Something that is by no means surprising given the amount of synthetic hormones we are exposed to combined with gender-confusing naratives in media.

I know, and I still disagree. It also isn't treatment, those kids aren't sick.

I also see that you haven't addressed hormones in our environment one single time. If microplastics and other junk cause chemical changes in our children, the answer is not to mutulate their bodies.

yeah, fuck carve out for illegal farm workers.

Someday I hope to understand why there is a proportional relationship between having bad taste in music and the desire to share that fact with everyone around.

It was me

New Biden clone just dropped.
What number we on now?

@ILoveAmericaNews what did we win?

I've talked about this before, but I think it bears repeating: Canada is near the top of the pack when it comes to the number of people with post-secondary education.

That sounds like a good thing, but in reality I think it speaks to an underlying weakness in Canada. People aren't going to college because they *can*. They're going to college because they feel they *must*.

The cost of housing isn't a problem that popped up yesterday. When I was a teenager, you could buy a house in some places for $50,000. Today, in most of Canada the same house would be easily $500,000 (and in some cities it's $1,000,000 or more). I'm old, but I'm not "10x inflation" old. Food prices have skyrocketed. Internet prices have skyrocketed (High speed Internet used to be 20 bucks a month, today that's the sales tax on my internet bill). I pumped gas to pay for college, fuel used to be 60 cents a litre, today it's 1.60. Electricity in most places has doubled or more.

If you're a hard worker but you haven't gotten onto the class treadmill, then there's a good chance you can't afford a life. So people get on that treadmill and start running just to stay in place. Meanwhile, the politicians act as if there's actually unlimited prosperity to go around.

South Korea is in a similar state. It's another outlier with very high postsecondary education, and it's another places where people need to stay on the treadmill or they'll get thrown on the floor hard.

Yes. It's unfortunate too. I think men as well as women are both responsible for maintaining good relations and keeping each other in check, and each has their role. It's not a hierarchical relationship. It's far more nuanced.

How we comport ourselves towards that person, down to even the thoughts we have, makes a difference. This includes during conflict, which is where things can get out of control.

My own approach to conflict isn't to avoid it. I will even intentionally employ it at times. But one should always engage the other with the goal to make everyone healthier. To resolve the conflict, to foster the relationship, and hopefully so the issue doesn't repeat. If it can't be resolved. Then fuck that person specifically. I'm not a fucking hippy.

This of course requires some belief that the other person is capable of good. If you believe they're inherently bad, and you have to put your thumb on them, you will forever be at war and perpetually tormented.

I think the conflict in the case is between a desire for female companionship and something that's blocking the ability to form that relationship. This reminds me of what Keirkegaard said regarding God's omniscience:

God's forgiveness is truly a miracle, because he forgets the indiscretion.

Is there anything good that matters in Trump's big bill?

What do Democrats hate most about it?
