I mean firstly you're advocating for taking away people's bodily autonomy by forcing them on a treatment. That's a pretty criticizable position. Secondly, as someone who studies hormones in relation to neuroscience, this would massively mess with people's bodies and have severe health outcomes. Due to hormonal disruptions, data is indicating trans people have a significantly higher rate of Alzheimer's than the general population. We still support this treatment because in their case that's better than committing suicide at a far younger age. But disrupting normal biological development is generally not a good idea. Especially without a reason specific to the individual.

No because this is classical operant conditioning not Pavlovian.
Edit: Corrected for my stupid response while exhausted.

Look around lemmy. You have tons of people saying they don't like either candidate or their vote doesn't matter so they won't vote. Imagine how many people out there are willing to vote for a candidate from a dynasty.

I can't believe people still argue over whether or not Balrogs have wings when the text unambiguously says they do. You can have wings and also have a shadow that looks like wings.
His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. ...suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall...
Like two vast wings but then he explicitly says its wings were spread, clearly stating it has wings. To be the most generous you could try to say the wings are made of shadows, but based on the text they're clearly still wings.
Yes, Balrogs have wings.

This is not the fundental attribution error. The fundamental attribution error is seeing an action from a person and assuming it is a fundamental attribute of them. Literally in the name. E.g. you seem someone being rude in public so you assume they are a rude person. Meanwhile if you are rude in public you chalk it up to being in a bad mood as a result of something that happened to you, not because you are a rude person.

What is the craziest thing your pet thinks you can control?
The rain. My dog will ask to go out, see it's raining when I open the door and give me this pleading look. He has a raincoat but if it's raining heavily it's not really enough.

US universities curtail PhD admissions amid Trump science funding cuts
I started mine in 2023. I got one experiment run and I probably won't get to run another. My dissertation will likely be made up of just running different analyses with the existing data I have. So glad we chose a government more based on caring about which genitals were in which genital restricted sports than caring about funding things like my research on Alzheimer's.

It's literally an issue of them not understanding it. Most progressive policies when explained to them they agree with, they've just been taught to hate names. It's just so hard to teach people.

Except a lot of these things don't include vaping. That has skyrocketed in kids and iirc vaping rates are higher in kids than smoking rates were when I was in high school

How To Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots

They are sideview mirrors. Most people do not have them where they should be and instead have three mirrors pointing to the rear, showing basically the same thing. Why turn your head away from the front when a quick look to the mirror is safer?

OK, and look at all the people you're calling "privileged" who don't agree with you because of your characterization of them. If changing the word gets them on your side isn't that worth it?

Yeah people don't get this. Many of those people may agree with you and were simply lucky enough to get comfortable in life. They are certainly not the main contributors to inequality in our society.

It's not enough to touch grass
Is there a way to have more native plants growing without increasing ticks? I just bought a house and have a couple areas it would be great to not have to maintain, but I have dogs and don't wanna have to worry about ticks.
