The bill has caused much derision, particularly the clause that “you can kick him in his sweaty nutsack”. Some are arguing that the language should be harsher, while others feel that the word ‘sweaty’ opens a legal loophole that could allow the creep’s nutsack to go unkicked.

I’m not really cool with the idea that we should be ok with this. We should be fucking furious. It’s not ok that so many people are experiencing so much mental illness, and that we aren’t addressing the root causes. I don’t want platitudes, I want justice

Do universities have to make space for physics crackpots now? Do they have to intersperse lectures on relativity with some random dude ranting about how Einstein was wrong? Can universities do anything worthwhile when they have to welcome ‘controversial’ opinions?

If universities can’t adopt positions on most issues, and must invite people with controversial opinions to speak, then universities lose all academic rigour and credibility. You have to be able to say that something isn’t correct?

Probably the correct interpretation of this phenomenon. But, it wouldn’t surprise me if a small but not insignificant factor is that when these people fly to Wellington they see a lot more visibly queer people, especially in hospo, and they’re mad about it

I think that’s more likely the main thing going on

Really appreciate the thread and analysis. When you say rent, do you mean what an individual pays or what a household pays? I’m trying to work out if it’s 46% of what each person earns or 46% of total household income

There was an article from Soatok (furry cryptographer) on how you can implement locked accounts without fundamentally changing the underlying protocol, and I’m p sure he wrote it because he was talking to a bsky engineer on how to do this. So it’s possible, and I think it is on the horizon

Guys I swear AUKUS is cool. I mean, it’ll cost unfathomable amounts of money and lose us tens of billions of dollars in trade, but look at the bright side! The US will have much greater control over our foreign policy!

Either the people demanding double blind randomised control trials are too stupid to be making these decisions, or they’re knowingly requiring a fundamentally impossible standard of evidence

It will very quickly become very obvious to everyone in the trial who’s taking the medication and who’s taking the placebo.
If the control isn’t a placebo it’s even more ridiculous. Trying to compare puberty blockers against, say, talk therapy is obviously impossible to blind.

It’s not clear what you’d even be investigating, but if it’s the ability of these medications to alleviate or prevent gender dysphoria that’s not going to work. You can’t meaningfully blind a trial when you know one medication will result in a substantially different set of physical changes

Yeah, mine was just a “people cite this as the first but actually there may have been earlier results that got ignored because of the Cold War” in the background

Oh damn, that’s pretty good! I guess astro stuff has been a topic of scientific research for a bit longer than semiconductors and nanomaterials
