Bought as a costume? It’s a plot hole, you’re right.

You mean vigilante-style attacks on healthband life because you oppose their world view? You Germans have come full circle.

I just watched it… twice. I loved it!

It wasn’t the greatest thing ever, but it was a gateway to a reboot, it was a nicely done nostalgia-fest and it did a lot of stuff right. Was the animation a bit cheap? Yes. Was the story a bit thin? Yes. Would I still watch it and buy the blue ray? Of course!

And it’s still way better than a lot of stuff movie studios wanted to stuff down my throat in the past years.

The acting and the FX might be dated, but the series and the topics are not, the old series still has its value and it’s worth a (re) watch.

Look at OpenDrive.com. their interface might be dusty but I’ve been with them for 10 years with no issues.

Citation needed. The smartest and healthiest generation might have been GenX instead, GenZlers have seen overall decline in health, live expectancy and mental health.

Representative Democracies have failed (are failing) like all other political ruling systems have failed so far. Some failed just faster than others that failed more catastrophically while some fail silently (agonizing). In the end all systems failed.

I was against this for many years but lately I have developed a taste for good pineapple on good pizzas. So there’s that.

Full shower after each toilet session? You make Greta cry!

I can agree with wet wipes, bidet or these japanese toilets with bidet features.

Nowadays you can cause riots by saying: Humans come in XY and XX chromosomes by genetic program, the correct expression of this genetic program leads to male or female genitalia and there’s currently no medical or surgical procedure to change that, no matter how much you insist. So that was one notch less controversial.

I’m not sure about that. People are conflating sex and gender all the time and this looks even intentional to me just to create more confusion and potential for drama.

If you check pre-millennial definition of gender you see that it was widely used synonymously. The distinction between sex and gender is just a form of newspeak.

The current mainstream teaches that gender expression is constructed and gender typical roles are assigned at birth and by society during infancy. This is utter nonsense, has been debunked over and over again and is still based on John Moneys gender experiments with the Reimer twins.

I intentionally wrote: representative democracies. I’m not aware of any ongoing implementation of complete direct democracy, not even in Switzerland so I can’t tell for those.

So what’s the alternative then? Representative democracies devolve into shit shows given sufficient amount of time. Dictatorships are horrible, council-led states (Sowjet) don’t work either… So what’s left?

Anarchy doesn’t work either…

That hasn’t worked for North America, it’s not working in the EU and if I look at South America… no I won’t.

Wow there’s so much wrong with this:

The concept of a digital data processing machine was made by Charles Babbage, a mathematician from England.

The first phone was constructed by Italian engineer and inventor Antonio Meucci, Bell just got the patent for something that was being “invented” in several forms in previous years.

Karl Benz from Germany invented the automobile but it was already Leonardo Da Vinci who conceived the idea of mechanical vehicles. The French Nicolas Cugnot built the first steam propelled tractor/car in 1769.

The moon might be yours but only because the USA confiscated all the German knowledge about rockets and took the engineers like Wernher von Braun

If the US eliminated starvation is something I can’t deny nor confirm but you certainly invented the largest drug abuse crisis (opioids and derivatives) in the history of mankind. Oh and mass imprisonment is also an achievement that probably challenges China or North Korea.

Not sure about the progress aspect there, I have doubts. But one thing I know for sure: The US needs better education, it’s horrible how wrong you were.

Science does believe that a perceived gender develops in a child’s brain, but as far as I know, its unclear when or how it develops. It could be before birth, or years after.

No, science does not believe that. Sociologists with questionable record regarding the validity of their studies believe that, however they do completed forget that humans are not isolated and decoupled from animals.

Males and females are vastly different and there’s nothing constructed about this.

What science does know is that if your perceived gender is incongruent with your sex, it can cause gender dysphoria.

Science does not know this. It’s a mainstream belief now but not backed up by good data. All we know is that transition does not remediate high suicide rates, despite greater societal acceptance of transgender in general. Some studies even show higher suicide rates after transition, however the datasets are too small and the studies are all biased on way or another. We don’t know!

The way to treat it is to transition to your perceived gender.

That’s one hypothesis. The other one is not to treat it and just wait because a good number of those affected by gender dysphoria turn out to be just gay and very unsure about their sexual orientation. Again: We don’t know because data is insufficient.

Based on an unproven hypothesis you want people to transition despite this potentially having devastating results? I would be less sure about this, I have doubts.

You must be a parody account or on a rolling level like Borat/AliG.

Not my cup of tea, have a good day sir.

Not judging your personal moral code, that’s up to you.

From what I see here for example: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5649411/

There’s no good data apart from: Suicide rates are higher than in general population and remain higher than general population even after surgery.
