Resorting to insults when you can’t get your point across in a reasonable way. My bet is you’re a teacher.
Cheers

You’re starting to get it?
That the true believers aren’t afraid of death. The believers that are scared at the concept of dying aren’t actually believers at all.

100% it’s different.
Just because a movie has a jump scare it isn’t necessarily a scary movie. There’s a difference between some existential dread and ‘boo’.
I’d argue that the accident is a startle response with body horror mixed in.
Some people are scared of death. Doesn’t matter the cause. That’s what I’m talking about. It’s 100% different than a fatal car accident.

A fatal car accident is different. Could be a shock scare or just not wanting to be injured.

Belief in god has no bearing in reality.

Having said that, my grandfather outlived my grandmother by 10-15 years. On his deathbed, he was holding some marriage pictures. He was looking forward to seeing her. Guy believed 100%. Still makes me tear up thinking about it.

I agree with you.
Either the person isn’t a ‘good follower’ and isn’t going to the good place.
Or they don’t actually believe. Because there should be no fear or apprehension about going to the good place

‘As I lay dying’ might appeal to you. It’s another song that’s great but nothing like the other stuff in the catalog piece

You could say it was ‘state of the art’

Lol. I’m the opposite. Love his other stuff. I can sing along to most of the songs on two albums, but that hit… It’s an instant classic, but very much a pop song. His other stuff is almost antipop

DNA evidence was also very new, and wasn’t trusted by the larger population yet.
Oddly enough, there’s reason to doubt DNA evidence from that era for not being robust enough

Where does that last one come from?

Ok. If you’re mtf, the hormonal treatment will stop a lot of the masculinisation of the face. If the person 'changes their mind ’ they can stop the hormonal treatment and the masculine hormones will do the work on their face. No real harm done. Just a delay.
Similar things with a ftm person.
It’s also important to note that a lot of the ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ traits aren’t really as clearcut as we generally think. BUT the treatment helps these people with their mental health and when we’re dealing with a population with crazy high suicide rates, these hormonal treatments are literally lifesaving

In Canada, you can start transitioning as a teenager, but that’s almost 100% hormonal treatments which aren’t permanent.
There’s therapy involved. There’s physicians involved.
More people regret knee replacement than gender affirming surgery.
In Canada, kids aren’t going through irreversible surgery. It just doesn’t happen. It’s a years long process, so toddlers would never even be considered because it takes years. The toddler wouldn’t be a toddler by the time surgery was scheduled.

If you read, the standards of care for trans people, you’ll see that the medical establishment doesn’t agree with irreversible surgery before adulthood. I’m not saying that it doesn’t happen in other countries, but it goes against the international standard.

If you want some references I can help, but I encourage you to look for some of the primary sources.

There’s a ridiculous amount of misinformation out there regarding this topic. It can be really hard to see through that.

Where’s the continental divide between Europe and Asia?

I want him to define it.
Even cis women might not be ‘biologically female’
It comes from a high school level understanding of genetics.

What’s a biological woman?

It’s always the quintessential Redditor that complains about the fediverse.

This place is so much more positive than Reddit. Maybe you’d notice your mood improve a bit if you tried to participate in a positive way.

Definitely one based in reality with a good fun teacher.

‘The future is built on the present. What kind of future are you building today?’

• I haven’t got a clue.

To piggy back a bit, I can block people from kbin, so I’ve thought about this a bit.

What if you are in an instance that has users with great memes. Someone csam person joins and you just block that person. Maybe you’re a little proactive and go through comments and block any supporter that’s supportive of the csam.
A month or two goes by, the memes are still good, but you talk with someone from another instance and it turns out you’re on a csam instance. You had no idea because you blocked all the csam content.

100%.
I’m going to start blocking any complaints about tankies.
