Fun videos!

@LuFins-Dad OK... "My crotch doesn't look like..." Perhaps it's time to call for some professional help. [image: 1679623426131-1679490124406-4_0f174d991e4a78af6690c81ee91a88ea.jpg]

Interesting that the majority of the budget is stuff that really there is no control over. USD$4.5B out of USD$6.2B Almost 75%.

Agree with everyone above. Good decision. (The oldest current track/field record is the woman 800 m, set by a Czech lady back in 1983. Pretty much agreed that she was taking male steroids. Shows how that can help performance) [image: 15325423889672.jpg]

@George-K said in The Poster Child is Dead.: Opening the door to whether transgenderism is a mental illness, aren't you? Body dysmorphia (anorexia, etc) is considered a mental illness, and is treated with psychiatric/psychological therapies. Is this different? I don't know. Do we treat anorexia with surgery, gastric bypass/staplilng? No we don't (yet). It's a fascinating subject. I know exactly one transgender person (IRL, not online). S/he was as crazy and insecure as could be. This person, imo, needed therapy, and not just for the transgenderism. S/he was a deeply disturbed person. Are you assuming that suicide = mental illness? If yes, then it’s the psychiatric and medical specialists declaring it a mental illness… “Would you rather have a live son or dead daughter” and all of that. Now, if I may ask… Teen suicide ideation was on a very steep drop for decades. From 29% in 1990 to 14% in 2009. Gender affirming care became readily in 2010. Since then suicide ideation has increased by over 20%. Attempted suicide is up by 16.7%, and successful suicide is up by 26% since 2009. Does that sound like Gender Affirming Care is saving lives? It seems to me that the actual causes for suicide are being misdiagnosed and not being treated.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Schizophrenia Genes Identified: Hilariously enough, there's a history of this in my family. Who would have though it? All my imaginary friends, that's who. Well, that's just cray-cray.

I saw some related stories earlier today. I'll withhold judgment for now, because everyone has an agenda.

Not new and not surprising. Hough has recorded piano works using Yamaha pianos and owns a Yamaha piano. None of this takes away @LuFins-Dad and his shop's win, of course.

Trump declassified the docs. Solomon requested them. Over two years is a little slow, donchya think?

That’s been his look for the past 30 years… [image: PDAqSh9vmTWiw8GKhieriW-1200-80.jpg.webp]

Better yet, get the Skinwalker Ranch team on it.

NFL players have complete physicals at the combine and before camp every year. Any team contemplating signing a rookie that did not go through the combine or evaluating a free agent, does a complete physical. The Saints internist, Dr. John Amoss, is the doc who caught Moreau's illness. Hopefully, they have pretty good luck with Hodgkins if caught early. Amoss also caught a heart condition on another free agent a few years ago, Jon Dorenbos. It probably saved the guy's life. Amoss is an old LSU guy... https://www.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/DOM/Sections/General-Internal-Medicine/faculty/amoss_john.aspx

Wait, didn’t Dana Perino used to be a busty blond?

Very cool.

Spying on and filtrating the opposing side's legal team is wrong Unless members of a legal team are themselves subjects of investigations, law enforcement should not be spying on or inflating any legal team Just because a legal team made an accusation does not mean it is true.

@Catseye3 said in Repeal the 19th Amendment: @Horace said in Repeal the 19th Amendment: Now I have the lived experience of correcting a mistake of my own. I'm guessing 'lived experience' is a newly discovered term for you. No, but I’ve been seeing it get used in the wild a lot, unironically, as a mic drop conversation stopper.

@Horace said in "Click to Cancel": My favorite experience with unsubscribing was when I canceled my AT&T fiber when I moved away from CA. Several months later I was going through my credit card charges and I noticed I was still being charged. I called AT&T, and they said "oops, we see you did cancel, but we didn't process the payment cancelation part. We'll get right on that, thank you for letting us know." On a vaguely related note, yesterday I got a bill from Foxborough waste management for ($103) - i.e. they owe me a hundred bucks. There was also a late payment line item of $3.00, and a request that I pay as soon as possible to avoid suspension of my trash service.

@LuFins-Dad didn’t we just blow up their top military commander and put on aggressive sanctions. I’m not saying if that’s right or wrong… I just don’t think the Iranians are in the mood to have anything brokered by us.
