Oh I bet you can. There are probably a thousand scary articles per child.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Teenagers, yes (obviously). Children, no.  Children might receive puberty blockers in rare cases, but those are not gender-affirming.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Oh, we are going to quibble over definitions.   :rolleyes:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It's the Languish way!

Kids can consent to be married at 16, seems weird they can't consent to gender affirming care.

Though actually you can give your baby gender affirming care if they are intersex and you want to turn them into a boy or girl. They don't get to consent to that shit, the parents can decide the whole way.

The Minsky Moment

This is what a Trump presidency looks like.

The President and VP betray our allies, side with a brutal murderous dictatorship and in a matter of minutes irrevocably smash the entire alliance system meticulously built over decades and that successfully kept America secure since WW2.  A fearful and increasingly hostile world looks with suspicion on a chaotic American junta, whose policy to the extent it is coherent is driven by malign foreign influence.

A crazed billionaire whose dream is to leave planet earth and found a new dynasty on Mars is "reforming" Washington DC along the lines that the Vandals and Visigoths "reformed" the city of Rome.

The Congress is supine, its leadership falling over each other to breathlessly assert their abject loyalty to the Leader.  The Court is poised to aid and abet the dismantling of the Constitution it swore to defend. Once eradicated diseases sweep the land with epidemic force, while others even more dangerous evolve overseas. Planes fall from the sky and smash into each other. Violent criminals are freed with plans to deputize them to terrorize suspected migrants and put them into concentration camps.  Once independent US attorneys and federal law enforcement have been taken over by rapid far right talk show hosts.  Ever worsening hurricane seasons approach with monitoring and response agencies gutted.  Trump, Musk and family are busy stealing everything not nailed down.

But Trump has dangled his shiny object and so even the Languishites are busy chasing around discussing

THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE EVER

Whether somewhere, sometime in America, some women's volleyball team got a raw deal because Michelle on the other team was originally named Michael at birth.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Well yes, but what about AP not naming it Gulf of America. We should discuss that!
