Parents are notoriously unreliable witnesses if you're looking out for signs of neurodivergency. It's just as likely that the symptoms aren't gone at all, they're just less visible now that they have excluded the one mar

"Subjected to" is unrealistic, given the vast majority of trans people never get the chance to use them — waiting lists for treatment are so long that most trans people are forced to undergo their default puberty and then try to c

With the always caveat that no other nation can replicate what Singapore does without widespread use of slavery or culling/exiling the poor.

It really means nothing, websites with guest books count. I think people confuse it with "social network" which also has a weird vague definition but it's a little tighter.

This doesn't follow? The co2 level indoors is decided far more by whether you have the windows open (or perhaps if you're cooking) than whether you have people living close by to you.

They almost certainly would. There's plenty of scummy ways to do business, my guess is they'd produce blister packs of gel capsules filled with THC oil at 480% markup and then fight tooth and nail to recriminalise all other method

That would almost certainly end up with the internet becoming one gigantic linkedin and everyone leaving it to flock to whichever underground 4chan-esque service pops up with a promise of pseudonymity.

No, "nonce" meaning paedophile is very modern. Until the 1970s nonce meant "appears only once" and referred to figures and terms which never found common use after being coined.

People eat, sleep and watch Netflix in their spare time because they're dedicating their thoughtful useful hours to work. A friend of mine is on long term disability support payments, when he was doing full time work he was a couch po

The idea that roe v wade could've been under threat was considered laughably implausible until it wasn't. Securing these de facto rights and transforming them into de jure rights makes a lot of sense to me, in light of that.

You cannot become part of the LGBT community outside of being an ally by choice. You either are gay, are lesbian, are bi, are trans etc or you're not and opting in to all the social bullying outside of the sub-10% LGBT (who themselves

Because on a low level they are. 3 weeks = ~504 hours, averaged across a year that's ~1 hour and change, every day, dealing with health issues.

All other opinions aside I object to the label "woke" applied to WotC, this term is thrown around without regard and it seems it's come to mean nothing at all. WotC employed Pinkertons to confiscate cards from a person, they
