Genetic offcasts from the complex process of heterosexual reproduction, like someone born without an eye or 2 girls with a merged body below the thoracic vertebrae.
We need to care for them, help them have as normal a life as possible, but there's absolutely no reason to change broadly accepted societal mores for them.

A human with xy chromosomes is commonly called male and referred to correctly with masculine pronouns in English, no matter what costume he's wearing.
I would have said this is self evident?
I've been curating Pandora channels by mood for a long time.
I realized fairly early that what I wanted to listen to was context dependent, not really wanting a Chopin Nocturne while working out, nor KLF while trying to relax.
Sure.

Considering there's no human in the loop, I'd argue these need INTENSIVE ethics reviews, not "none".
That's fucked up.
The scientists attribution of anything and everything to climate change based on models specifically tweaked to give them the results they want - and the complete failure of such assertions in another climate-change-related context - is 100% a salient point regarding the believability of these new claims.
And yes, at the same time it's 100% troll because
... Are these the same scientists asserting that global warming will drive more frequent and more severe weather such as hurricanes?
(He said ironically, at the peak of the 2025 hurricane when there isn't any activity in the Atlantic at all.)

"I'm a leftist bot" much?
That's the point.
" the RSL team has established a collective licensing organization, the RSL Collective, that can negotiate terms and collect royalties, similar to ASCAP for musicians or MPLC for films"
Anyone who has looked at organizations like ASCP/BMI and the like (most countries around the world have similar copyright licensing collectives) can see how well that works out for the average musician/author/whatever.
The middleman (the collective) takes their cut, then the remainder is doled out using an arbitrary formula that may or (more likely) may not reflect the real world usage of whatever it is that they're licensing.
So if a creator can sign up with one of these collectives (a significant feat in itself) then their royalty cheque may be 37 cents at the end of the year.
Copyright licensing collectives are the very definition of corrupt behaviour and insider dealing.

Exposed to sea level rise? OHMYGOSH! CLIMATE CHANGE!
Actually, no. https://www.wsoctv.com/news/lo...
"...Charleston is one of the fastest sinking cities in the country, with an average rate of around 4 millimeters a year or an inch every six to seven years...."
That's a subsidence of 15" a century, compared to PERHAPS a foot of sea level rise in that span.
Yet....somehow this only gets faintly mentioned then discarded mid article. It's all about sea level rise. The Guardian: "...Driven largely by sea level rise,..." and "...The sea level in Charleston rose about 13in over the past century.." (which is an ABSOLUTE LIE - the city subsided).
You wonder why people don't believe the bullshit sky-is-falling narratives about climate change, maybe stop lying on easily-checked data and we'll start to take you seriously?
...forever that "you may not see blue the way I see blue" in solipsistic ways nobody can ever prove.
This is an interesting test, but confirms that - despite the persistent meme - the logical likelihood (we see colors in basically the same ways) would be strongly selected for in evolution.
"You can eat the blue berries, don't eat the red ones"
So your assertion based on
a) recognizing that Twitter had turned into a leftist echo chamber
b) noting that they had the ability to at whim silence the main opposition candidate
c) suspecting - later proved conclusively - that they were directly serving the mandate of the highly-politicized whims of the government in power in ways that would have made Pravda & the KGB jealous
It's impossible to believe he was genuinely offended by the hypocrisy of people who shrilly insisted on unbounded freedom of speech simultaneously openly censoring others & decided to spend some big $ to fix it?
So, in your deep insight, when did Elon get 'turned' & why?
He was the quirky darling of the left with his tech, his electric cars, his climate change advocacy...*poof* he's now an alt-right Shylock hovering at Hitler/Trump's elbow.
How'd that happen?
