I see! Like going to a black hair salon because they're more likely to know the idiosyncrasies of that hair type and are less likely to look at you cross-eyed when you walk in the door.
What kinda of things does gender affirming care entail outside of hormone therapy and full reassignment surgery?
It's a lemmy account setting. If the Boost app does not expose the show "show scores" setting you can change it in a browser and Boost should reflect the change once you restart it. To make the change, just go to https://lemmy.world/ and go to your account settings after you log in.
...kinda but also wtf are you talking about? It's Taco Bell, of course it's going to be greasy as fuck and delicious.
Not delicious in the way of fresher more authentic Mexican food. Delicious in the way of Taco Bell.

This has over-sharerer energy.
"it is what it is... but I tell everyone I meet about "it" within days or hours"
First I'm hearing of this as a very very casual gamer, but it sounds incredible. I mean right now it might not be great, but you can see the potential appeal for novel playthroughs and such.
so you think you will next time or nah?
All I do is fart. Except during the times when I'm holding in my farts so I can keep living among society. But even then I'm just quietly belching under my breath. All I am is gas. Held together in the loose shape of a man by the surface tension in a bubble of cheeseburger grease and the force of my will to eat another. Just one more. My urine is carbonated.

I don't see the similarity at all.
Chair Khan? Am I the only one that things it's a bad look to have that evil tiger from The Jungle Book leading the FTC?
They're really out here scrawling the Dragon's Fang on people's doors...
This is my question as well for a lot of issues and I think part of the answer must be that the democratic party as a whole just isn't that "left" when the rubber meets the road.
Another thing is that the places where democrats have overwhelming political majority is major cities more often than states. So you might get BLUE cities existing in just kinda blue states which exist in a country that is only half blue on a good day. The city, where the most political will to implement very left policies exists, is constrained in its actions by state and federal law and state and federal budgeting constraints which the city can't effect directly.
You're probably right about this specific dude's motivations for posing the question, but I think I am right that this type of thought is entirely normal and even common to have. You are right about the dismissiveness too, sorry.
What do you think about the parallel I was trying to draw between the video I mentioned and this guy's question about paying for rape? I thought the reason that someone's interest could be caught by the video is similar in nature to the reasons someone might wonder "is it okay to pay to hurt someone"? And that train of thought leads naturally enough to "Well how much harm is permissible for what amount of money?" which leads naturally enough to imagining specific circumstances.
And those trains of thought are similar to the thought behind people's ancient musings about other tricky question of morality like the trolley problem. It's not peak philosophy it's just ordinary human thought. You shouldn't be so afraid or repulsed by it or whatever.
I think it must be fairly normal to wonder things like this. Once I saw a video of a man standing on a busy sidewalk offering passersby the opportunity to shoot a staple gun into his bare chest for a dollar or so. It was immediately fascinating. The proposition was so direct: pay money to inflict pain. And people were taking him up on it!
Interesting, sort of in the same way that this Twitter guy's question is interesting. The same way other moral thought experiments like "the trolley problem" are interesting.
Weird just means unusual (with slight negative connotations already) . So to use "weird" as an unqualified insult is to say that being unusual is a negative thing in itself. Which echoes the sentiment behind things like xenophobia and such. That's why people are uncomfortable with this line of political attack, imo.
To say "there's good weird and bad weird" doesn't say much more than that there are ways of being unusual that you view positively and those that you view negatively. But that's obvious and doesn't resolve the issue I mentioned before.
What a memory this unlocked!! The physics of this game made you feel like you were 100% driving a real car. I almost want to play it again now, but honestly I bet that not being able to actually drive as a kid was half of what made it so mesmerizing.
Now it might just be like driving to work :(
Damn RIP dude.
