The worst is when a language formally has a disambiguating word but then speakers all just decide to not use it.

When talking about a group but only one individual of the group is present you can still use y'all.

My feed is currently like 2 people, plus a bunch of dead accounts from people who dipped their toe in but didn’t stay.

For me a lot of those toe dippers were subsequently found to have settled on BlueSky.

Thank you! I've been asking that question for years and you're the first to provide an example. Point conceded.

Not asshole.

There is no such subtype.

Why are you expanding the age range beyond what you quoted? Seems like a bad faith tactic. Try harder next time.

At an incidence of 2 for every 100,000 getting surgery, I have to assume that between the individual, their parents, and the doctors involved there was some concerning factor that pushed the surgical intervention into something more than simply treating the emotional/mental body dysmorphia. And I'm not so pompous as to try and inject myself into that process on their behalf.

a bunch of people didn’t show up and fucking vote .. and Bernie lost

It's obnoxious how often that's why the conservatives win.

The other candidates gradually stepped aside to allow Hillary to run. The big one being Joe Biden not running as it was her “turn”, allegedly after the deal between the Clintons and the Obamas.

Apologies, but I can't tell if you're trying to supplement my point or pose an answer to my question.

Which state's primary votes did the DNC alter or override to give Hillary the nomination by popular vote instead for Bernie?

Society ain't happy with plastic surgeries performed on children

Which statistically isn't a thing that's happening and I've never heard anyone argue in favor of.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/gender-affirming-surgeries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/

The study found no gender-affirming surgeries performed on TGD youth ages 12 and younger in 2019. This was expected, the researchers said, as current international guidelines do not suggest any medical or surgical intervention for TGD individuals prior to puberty. For teens ages 15 to 17 and adults ages 18 and older, the rate of undergoing gender-affirming surgery with a TGD-related diagnosis was 2.1 per 100,000 and 5.3 per 100,000, respectively. A majority of these surgeries were chest surgeries.

You love to see it.

Data obtained by Just Security sheds light on exactly why Richer's filing concerned Arizona Republicans so much.

Overall, registered Republicans represented 37 percent of the voters affected by the glitch, while registered Democrats made up 27 percent and unaffiliated voters represented 29 percent.

Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes tells Just Security that the GOP's reversal on this issue shows how little they care for actually maintaining election integrity.

Lately when I forced to login to FaceBook they will sent a WhatsApp message to my phone number, even though I don't use WhatsApp. I'd like to see if there is really an account with my number. I tried going to the web client but it seems to be requiring to pair with a device app.

 

Just came across this flautist using guitar pedals and it's pretty freaking awesome.

I tried to post the MP4 itself but I'm getting a "too many frames" error and can't seem to find any guidelines on video file upload limits.

Just venting here. It's a very low traffic community for a sports team, with announcements from that team's own website posted to the community. And people have to come in and vote it down. 😐

Up to one in four patients who are unresponsive after suffering serious brain injuries might actually still be conscious – indicating more patients may be aware of their surroundings than previously realized, new research suggests.

This state of 'hidden consciousness' is now officially known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), where cognitive (or thinking) abilities aren't connected to motor (or movement) abilities. Researchers have been looking into CMD for several years.

However, 62 percent of an additional 112 patients who were visibly responding to instructions at the bedside didn't exhibit the expected brain signals showing responsiveness – so the researchers suggest their methods still don't detect everyone with cognitive function.

Looks like the CS 11 has dropped the AC port and sag control from the 12, and it has an output to power an XP 5 or XP 8. The XP 5 and 8 drop the IEC power plugs, and have outputs to daisy chain to more XP 5/8 units. The XP 5 has SKUs for with and without a power supply, the XP 8 is only sold with a power supply.

The SaberCats open the Major League Rugby playoffs when they host Dallas at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at SaberCats Stadium. Houston had the best record in MLR with a 14-2 mark and is seeded No. 1 in the Western Conference. The Jackals, seeded fourth, are in the playoffs for the first time. The SaberCats, in the postseason for a third consecutive year, reached the Western Conference finals in 2022 (losing to Seattle) and were eliminated in the first round last year (also by Seattle). Dallas is making its first playoff appearance.
