I would want to try to work something out, I really want a peek at that transformers folder.

eviction is a necessary legal remedy to keep rental housing affordable and available for responsible people.

There’s more people then houses in the US, so not really. The necessary remedy is making sure everyone only has one.

All of the workers rights you enjoy today were won by unions. That’s reality.

Glad to have you back, congrats on the twins. Love the app, it’s multi instance support is my favorite.

I don’t think the current capitalist class would allow for such a representative, without large changes to their power.

as opposed to working to form new arguments.

Atheism is the rejection of thiest’s arguments. You’ll have to get the ball rolling over there before we can do anything.

Would you say this about anyone else? Dogs? Cats? Anything at all?

What an odd comparison, given that pets are crated and put in (a warm/pressurized part of) the cargo bay. Is that better then hiding under a seat or the overhead bin? It seems about the same to me.

Why would the user be able to sue? Unless they thought their work was being infringed (in which case why they wouldn’t send a dmca?) I don’t see what possible standing they’d have.

And 7 years after the fact, how is your one time $40 purchase still paying to keep the servers running?

The company as a whole is profitable, and have been for at least the last few years. I’m on mobile so I’m not able to read their annual investor reports, but do they actually mention overwatch being a loss for the company on a premium model, or are you assuming that?

That’s the power of buying in bulk my friend.

I switched a while back, I think so. Some premium features of plex are available free (like downloading media). It’s also less bloated. Personally I hated plex trying to shove it’s live tv packages or whatever at me. But honestly, if you’re happy with plex, I’d stick with it. They’re pretty similar.

Does it seem odd to you that the devs would name their platform after a Nazi, when they are Marxists? That just strikes me as exceptionally odd, given everything I know about the two groups.

Some backup services charge less for shipping a hard drive then bandwidth, last I looked it was around 8tb to be cheaper (for the user) then restoring over the internet. So I’d guess it’s around that mark, but I’m obviously not an expert.

Very interesting, thanks for this.

It’s sad to me how many people don’t recognize morbid obesity, or downplay being overweight in general because other people are also that size.

If you make a joke that risky, and they don’t laugh/acknowledge it, you really shouldn’t keep telling it. They either didn’t get it (and probably won’t with future tellings) or they didn’t like it.

If that really does include everything, why do I always hear about how thin margins are in the food service industry? That doesn’t sound like a thin margin to me.

Things that permanently change people should be done carefully and with a lot of safety checks. We can all agree on that.

Everyone does, and they are being done with lots of checks. The above comment isn’t saying that though. They’re claiming that those checks aren’t being done, which is just not true. The rate people regret gender reassignment surgery is orders of magnitude less then many common surgeries, like knee replacement.

liberals are going 180 against them and claiming everyone should be transitioning.

I have never seen a person arguing for that. I have seen people arguing, and passing laws, for the opposite though.

Right. (some) Mental illnesses are when that trait is so severe it causes problems for the person. That trait is something everyone has, but not the mental illness. Mental illness is specifically when that trait is severe. It would be saying everyone has a severe issue to some extent, even if it’s not severe for them. It just doesn’t make sense, and to me weakens what mental illness actually is. If people use adhd to just mean attention issues, even ones so minor they don’t cause a person problems, it undermines the word.

Edit: didn’t mean to delete the parent comment, I accidentally posted twice. It was the same as above in the thread.

I also think it’s a tool we reach for much more often than is necessary.

Do you have any evidence for this? Because the vast majority of people who transition stick with it, and the vast majority of people who don’t go back because of social pressures. here is an article about how many people are happy with the care they receive, I really think you should read it.

The comparable example I like to give is adhd. It isn’t binary. You don’t just have it or don’t have it.

Yes, you either have it or you don’t. You either have diagnosable, actual adhd or you don’t. Sure, it can be worse for some people. But to be diagnosed, it has to be causing you problems in your life. Mental illnesses aren’t something that everyone has to some extent.

Other people get by with therapy alone. Yet others find medication necessary to be functional.

Yes, people cope with their issues in different ways. Same for trans people. Most don’t get top or bottom surgery, for example.

I know everyone hates this word, but starting with more conservative treatments first is the norm throughout healthcare for exactly this reason. We’ve made an exception for transgender people for political reasons, not scientific ones.

I hate the word conservative for reasons completely unrelated to how you use it here, I’m not sure why you’d mention it. And there’s not an exception for trans heathcare, why would you think that?
