I can deal with a lot of difference in views and opinions but two things will get you blocked: 1) The R word. I have two autistic kids and do not tolerate that slur. 2) Dishonesty/posting misinformation without correction. There is no such thing as debate when one side lies.

You cannot induce PCOS in someone. That’s not how hormone therapy works. Interestingly enough though one of the causes of PCOS is thought to be exposure to androgens in the womb - which is also a theory on how FTMs become trans.
What a coincidence - PCOS is characterized by high androgens, and my doctors induced it in my perfectly healthy body to "affirm" me as a struggling teenager. A completely predictable consequence of causing purposeful hormonal imbalance in someone who believes they're trans. I now suffer with a number of consequences because of the PCOS along with other issues as a result of being given anabolic steroids. This is what you support - giving PCOS to young women and girls who believe they're trans.

Chris, we were in the middle of a pandemic caused by a novel virus, making decisions with incomplete information while hospitals were overwhelmed and people were dying. Were some decisions wrong? Certainly. Prolonged school closures caused real harm, and restrictions on families visiting dying relatives deserve serious criticism. But masks, distancing, and efforts to protect vulnerable people weren't invented for COVID. They were responses to an infectious disease. Judging every decision made in an emergency by what we learned years later is easy. Making those decisions when lives are at stake is considerably harder. We should learn from the mistakes without pretending that doing nothing would have been harmless.
Replying to @drterrysimpson
Can you revisit the masking & 6 ft separation? What about the collateral damage from prolonged school closures. The increase in mental health issues from forced isolation. Parents and spouses dying alone as they were sent into infected nursing homes.

We join the world in celebrating Dolly. This is from our teammate Luke. Having spent two and a half years working on Dolly Parton’s digital team and going on an international tour, I got to see Dolly's pure magic behind the scenes. What you saw was what you got - endless warmth, incredible work ethic, and zero pretense. She lit up the entire world with her presence, but her heart remained anchored right here in Tennessee. From Nashville to the East Tennessee mountains, Dolly gave our state a sense of identity, pride, and unconditional love. She proved you can change the world while staying entirely true to home. Fly high, Dolly. 🦋

Y’all. I was trying to explain to my wife why MAGA is mad at Tillamook this morning when I was making lunches and let me tell you that people who are not on this website look at you like you have 3 heads trying to explain what happens here.
Went to Costco for groceries, walked past the cheese aisle, and checked Tillamook myself. Yeah… it's on the package. Done with them.

it has truly never been clearer that news cycles are driven by way too online journalists who see three tiktoks in a trenchcoat and decide its a society-wide issue
Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: wapo.st/3Thcjg9

Holy shit. I lived in Nashville for almost 10 years and drove by that stadium every day for most of that time. It’s hard for me to imagine all that space taken up by the new stadium.
Old Nissan is tiny compared to New Nissan.

I saw on FB that the power went out at the Great Wolf Lodge this morning and folks, I can think of few things worse than being stuck with my kids at that place with no power. Thoughts and prayers to those parents 🙏

When the government is mad at you for importing, as a patriotic American, just ask yourself: What would John Hancock do? John Hancock would run blockades on a ship named “Liberty” filled with untaxed goods, that's what John Hancock would do.

Xi is thinking that he cannot fathom his good fortune that this ridiculous insecure easily manipulated childlike oaf has somehow managed to spend the past decade+ as his supposed greatest geopolitical foe & simultaneous fangirl.
What's Xi thinking?

Nothing says “America First” like mocking a former American president in front of a communist dictator. Trump may think he’s humiliating Biden, but all he’s doing is humiliating the United States.
