What kinda of things does gender affirming care entail outside of hormone therapy and full reassignment surgery?

Why does tmobile not throttle your traffic when it's running through a VPN as well?

It's a lemmy account setting. If the Boost app does not expose the show "show scores" setting you can change it in a browser and Boost should reflect the change once you restart it. To make the change, just go to https://lemmy.world/ and go to your account settings after you log in.

...kinda but also wtf are you talking about? It's Taco Bell, of course it's going to be greasy as fuck and delicious.

Not delicious in the way of fresher more authentic Mexican food. Delicious in the way of Taco Bell.

This has over-sharerer energy.

"it is what it is... but I tell everyone I meet about "it" within days or hours"

First I'm hearing of this as a very very casual gamer, but it sounds incredible. I mean right now it might not be great, but you can see the potential appeal for novel playthroughs and such.

If you like politics+humor+eldritch-horror might I suggest Frankie Boyle and in particular his show New World Order.

so you think you will next time or nah?

All I do is fart. Except during the times when I'm holding in my farts so I can keep living among society. But even then I'm just quietly belching under my breath. All I am is gas. Held together in the loose shape of a man by the surface tension in a bubble of cheeseburger grease and the force of my will to eat another. Just one more. My urine is carbonated.

Does he rent them out? Or does he just....have them?

I don't see the similarity at all.

Chair Khan? Am I the only one that things it's a bad look to have that evil tiger from The Jungle Book leading the FTC?

They're really out here scrawling the Dragon's Fang on people's doors...

I hadn't realized this was a .ru domain....

You're probably right about this specific dude's motivations for posing the question, but I think I am right that this type of thought is entirely normal and even common to have. You are right about the dismissiveness too, sorry.

What do you think about the parallel I was trying to draw between the video I mentioned and this guy's question about paying for rape? I thought the reason that someone's interest could be caught by the video is similar in nature to the reasons someone might wonder "is it okay to pay to hurt someone"? And that train of thought leads naturally enough to "Well how much harm is permissible for what amount of money?" which leads naturally enough to imagining specific circumstances.

And those trains of thought are similar to the thought behind people's ancient musings about other tricky question of morality like the trolley problem. It's not peak philosophy it's just ordinary human thought. You shouldn't be so afraid or repulsed by it or whatever.

what is this...from? Your mind?

Don't you think taking that hard-line stance kind of corners you into taking some nonsensical positions?

For example a physical power imbalance will always exist between two men of different sizes. Because the imbalance is there, you have to answer with a hard no when someone asks: "is it possible for two men of different sizes to consent to sex with one another?" But if someone asks "is it okay for two guys of different sizes to have sex?" you would presumably say yes.

Now you have been forced to say it is okay for sex to happen despite the impossibility of any consent having being given.

It can't exist? As an exaggeration, is there no way for a woman to meaningfully consent to an offer from her male boss to swap packed lunches? After all, he might take offense and pass her over for the promotion if she declines.

And if consent is possible in that scenario, what makes it immediately impossible in the scenario where sex or romance is involved?

It seems obvious that consent has to exist on some kind of spectrum like almost everything else. But it's spoken about and thought about in a very binary way. That seems problematic given how big a topic consent is lately.

I think it must be fairly normal to wonder things like this. Once I saw a video of a man standing on a busy sidewalk offering passersby the opportunity to shoot a staple gun into his bare chest for a dollar or so. It was immediately fascinating. The proposition was so direct: pay money to inflict pain. And people were taking him up on it!

Interesting, sort of in the same way that this Twitter guy's question is interesting. The same way other moral thought experiments like "the trolley problem" are interesting.
