The usual counterargument to this specific line of reasoning is outlined in [0]. TL;DR vastly more animals die incidentally in the process of growing feed for livestock than in the process of growing plants for human consumption. The math i

I don't follow your logic. You're suggesting that because a store sells things that aren't vegan, then buying anything from them is just as unethical? Cool, guess I'll starve.

What is this video's point? You don't not eat animals because it will save the planet. Nothing will. (By which I mean us, in case you quote Carlin at me.) You do it because it's the goddamned right thing to do. The chicken yo

Oh, they're aware of their political opinions, all right. This particular situation --- people pushing for extreme conservative viewpoints such as eradicating me and my people --- is one of the rare instances in which you should revers

"NPC" applied to real people is usually an alt-right dogwhistle. A cursory glance at the contents of TFA confirm that that's the sense in which it's being used. Hard pass. If you'd like a source, the dude has a podc

No, and if I'm not already sterile from the HRT, I will be after surgery in about a year.

That's the funny thing about life. No one gets out alive. Nobody's going to make it. Articles that try to scare me with collapse just can't anymore. (I have made peace with the likely possibility of not making it to 50 or hav

You're right, I'm sorry. I took my frustrations out on you. Funny, I was also homeless in the middle of undergrad. I don't know what real analysis has to do with CS, except as a pre-pre-prerequisite to boring old ML math, but

Baby Rudin, despite the somewhat patronizing name, is a second analysis text. There are many things that should have explanations that he expects you to already know. Swallow your pride and start with Abbott. You'll thank me later. N

Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning , in two volumes also by Polya, is the closest thing I've ever found to an explanation of how a working mathematician goes about her business. It has exercises, too. Great fun when I was in undergra

Indeed, why not? But overmedicalizing transness does nobody any good. I'm going to be honest with you, I don't really think this is a problem that needs solving. I haven't heard of a single trans GM, unlike the situation in p

The hypothesis is that ASD is severely underdiagnosed in those presenting female, and most often diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. Hence most late-transitioning women have a diagnosis from when their practitioner thought they were male

by sverona 3y ago
There's an argument to be made that ASD suffers from a severe selection bias wrt gender, and that its high incidence in late-transitioning women is actually the true base rate.

It's a little JS tool that collates and autofills (to the extent possible) all the documents you need. It only works for Michigan, my home state, but I'm developing a system to hopefully ease the other 49.

Different vegans draw different lines. It's not unilateral, and the usual advice given is "do your best." Non-organic sugar is generally filtered with bone char, but then so is the groundwater.

Yes. It made the news again because of the unseasonable heat up here earlier this summer.

Therapy, especially something very surface-level like CBT, is less efficacious when your daily life actually generally sucks. Depression is a rational response to a shitty life that doesn't seem to be getting better any time soon. Anxi

K works until you run out of money. It was really helpful, and almost exactly counterbalanced by the amount of shit I had to wade through to get insurance to cover what they said they'd cover.

My suspicions were aroused when I saw they interviewed J. Michael Bailey, who has been doing science backwards for decades now to paint me and the people who saved my life as a bunch of deluded perverts. The manifesto on "race realism&

I don't think "complete" is the right word to use. Perhaps "whole." It seems to me that what you're describing as "development" is in many cases the process of healing from trauma, which indeed stunts
