    What an absolute clickbait title. It’s a shame what has happened to journalism. I guess I’m part of the problem since I gave it a click, although sometimes I go out of my way not to if the headline is clickbaity. Also, can we pause and realize how immature and weird it is that folks have debates and evidence and threads…using little Twitter snippets? Guess I’m in a curmudgeonly mood right now!

    I knew about a lot of them. Too bad earlier ones didn’t succeed.

    @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.

    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

    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.
