Yes, sure. But we were talking about social events.

One shouldn't attend such an event.

Caffeine is decently addictive? I can’t remember the last day I didn’t have a cup.

As evidenced by the article, under the right circumstances, these substances can actually help people in a serious way.

Oof... Very interested where your requirement to still support IE comes from. That is unfortunate.

Congrats on your progress so far :) This stuff is very difficult and it takes a lot of courage to face these things. I believe high empathy has contributed to some of my difficulties. I've tried therapy a few times before without much

Gotcha, makes sense. I'm not on twitter so I wasn't actually sure what to put for that.

I personally would prefer if you didn't do this. It makes my experience using HN worse. Obviously, you can do whatever you want. But you asked for my opinion :)

If someone spent 5 hours a day on twitter, and blocked a new person every 5 minutes... then after 4.5 years of doing this every single day, they would reach 100,000 people blocked.

Maybe the reverse is possible? The majority can ignore the news until the few who are watching the skies notice something important enough for people to break their no-news policy.

Oh hey, it’s you from the other thread. You never explained to me why you think evolution is false :) Morality is an evolved trait. It doesn’t come from a god, so that’s why don’t need to worry that a religious book tells you ”being gay is

If the science is so clear, can you help me understand? Why do trans people claim what they claim? Can you point me to the research? I need a more detailed explanation than “they have a medical disorder”.

Yeah I agree that hormone blockers in teens is not an action to take lightly (my understanding is that it is not reversible). I don’t have a ton of knowledge on it, but it seems we should be careful with that.

You haven’t made an argument for why you think it is a lie. It would be helpful if you did that.

Perhaps I can summarize my position more clearly: 1) We've fucked up in this area before (e.g. being gay was considered a medical disorder), so let's be really careful to not fuck it up again. 2) Humans are vastly complicated syst

See my comment to your sibling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30797059 Equating gender / identity phenomena with wanting to be considered "strong and handsome" is not very... charitable. The whole pron

Being gay used to be considered a medical condition, but now everyone agrees that was a huge mistake. We should tread carefully here. Maybe there are genuine disorders affecting some aspects of the less commonly found gender / identity

Historical precedent is not a very strong argument when it comes to scientific questions. What's the model? How can that model explain the observed phenomena? "XY = male and XX = female" is a very simplistic model and it does

As I'm sure you are fully aware, sometimes we find that certain concepts don't fully match reality as it is, and we then have to work to update our conceptual frameworks. Is it that hard to imagine that "woman" and &quot

by dwaltrip 5y ago
What's your basis for claiming expertise on what makes someone a woman? Do you possess full knowledge of how sex and sex-specific behaviors evolved over millions of years and all of the resulting complexity?

The psychological mind is a real physical thing. No one is claiming to be a bird. That's a non-sequitur. We debate these things because some people say "I feel X" and others say "You aren't allowed to feel that way

Are you saying Russia is not a bad actor here? I'm not very convinced by your arguments.

How do you know that it achieves nothing? Genuinely curious.

Thanks for clarifying. What percentage of previously healthy people had heart damage from covid? Did they break this down by age and vaccination status?

Anti-gay is dead… It’s just flat out wrong — based off incorrect assumptions about how the world works. And it is also quite harmful. Like with slavery, creationism, and a bunch of other bad ideas, the world is moving on. Or trying to, at l

C-PTSD is probably the simplest way to summarize what I’ve been dealing with (I’m not totally comfortable with the label). I’ve done 20 ketamine sessions over the past 2 years (the last one about 5 months ago). I agree with you that a lot o

My personal experience suggests otherwise. In the sessions I had with IV ketamine, it is very, very noticeable and fairly trippy. The eye mask and the music certainly help, but the ketamine is inducing some crazy sensations. I don’t remembe

Reframing crowd sourcing as mass doxing doesn't change the basic dynamics of what's going on.
