So yeah live and let live - not my business how people want to raise their children
Not medical but would have thought an "100% government will back you but after puberty" rule would sort a lot of it + remove the pushie parents control somewhat
Might be wrong but pretty sure that the Greeks/Romans etc were a lot more gender/sexually fluid than us
If it's the parents pushing it a lot of those kids would probably have ended fucked up anyway
The prisons and sport will sort a lot of it out eventually, they always do!
Live and let live, hope the kids turn out alright, I'm staying out of it if I can!

Seeing a lot of calls for restraint around Dexamethazone. Actual paper hasn't been published, seems to be reported on the basis of a press release rather than a published study :-/"I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S.

If that was the case Kayroo I generally start off with a disclaimer that I am trying to learn and will make mistakes in language.
It's easiest to ask questions somewhere like reddit than in person. I'm sure a lot of people I know could speak well on it but it's never come up, it's also just easier to find trans people to talk to.
I'd like to talk to somebody more about being non-binary. It's hard to understand for me and i'd like to know what they feel and how misguided I am. To me the it sounds like people an idea of what a woman and man should be / feel like, ingrained from society, and if you feel like that thing, then you are one?
I see it like I am confident in who I am, that I am just me without really caring what traits are attached to a gender traditionally, somebody with a penis and a personality that is my own, call me a man great, call me a woman great, call me neither great. At the same as being biologically male time I have some traditionally feminine characteristics, but that doesn't matter an iota to me. The question of being a man or a woman has never popped into my head. I'm not sure what my point is apart from how foreign all this topic in general is to my particular personality, which makes it hard to understand and none of the content I've read has made it easier, because I guess gender is meaningless in reference to myself, and not because I am just a "man" aligned with a male body. If society said a man and a woman were different things (than they say now) would they not be non-binary?

Here's the problem with the availability of media. I was at a lovely park yesterday with a canal going through it which has a pair of swans and little signets. I was chatting to a woman who said a couple of the signets were further down the canal and couldn't get over a little water fall to where the others were, and that someone had called swan rescue.
I didn't know that swan rescue was a thing, and just Googled it there thinking that "That's sounds like a lovely thing, maybe I'll get involved in that." I go to the ISPCA website and there's a story about rescuing a swan with a damaged wing from a fight. "Swans fight?" Cue me watching a 5 minute epic fight between 2 swans on Youtube. Needless to say during my cheering along the swans in the surprisingly Brasilian Jiu Jitsu like fight I am now far away from wishing to help any loser swans who couldn't hack it in the mean fighting pits of the ponds.

They're discussing each episode, from the beginning. Each pod episode is based on an episode of the show.
Would highly recommend. Gonna rewatch too."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

I think he's had a bit of a melt down in recent months - went on a benzo binge in Russia sadly.

However... he also holds some other ideas
1. Islamophobia is a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons
2. He thinks the increase in sexual assault allegations is due to sex outside marriage being more common
3. He told Camille Paglia that it was a pity men can't control "crazy women" anymore by physically beating them
4. He thinks that the teaching of humanities in college is a form of indoctrination for neo-Marxists
5. He espouses a diet of salt, beef and water only.
He is a reddit forum with a book deal. He might well be a genius psychologist but he's an absolutely abysmal public intellectual.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Those points above made by kayroo are not something I know much about and are such not my issue with him. I've watching some of his talks and so on, so by no means an expert but I did try and learn more about what he thinks (any power struggle...is this a marxist? any altruistic action, is this toxic empathy? ) and what others think about it. Jordan is regularly ripped apart on philosophy communities, and is the mascot of /r/badphilosophy. To me he seems to try and talk with authority about quite a lot of interdisciplinary positions without an in depth knowledge of them himself. When I want to go learn more about what he said, people in said field are generally just picking it apart (people seem quite pissed that he misrepresents others philosophical views and states them as fact), so I'd like to know more about his good aspects.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 17-06-20, 16:45.

There's a youtube guy who does absolutely loads of videos on how to setup all the bits you may want if you want it as a media server specifically - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZD...N0WeAPvMqTOrtA
It took me a little while to get the server setup (it doesn't have a screen), and quite some time to get around to setting up VMs and docker apps, but really I think I'll never go back to having a behemoth under a desk since I've done it.
I don't make use of the media server aspect of it, I am effectively using it as virtualisation server with a NAS and redundancy option there too.

Supporters groups should be advocating for major ticket price cuts when/if we go back to normal, this is kack to watch without a boozed up crowd, (same reason early kick offs are shit) . Not going to bother with this
on a positive note rugby seems to really be struggling with the covid fallout , maybe even a complete collapse on the cards?

Mad you mention Bunk, only thought of him today for the first time in years.
Was thinking a Wire podcast with him and Dominic West in the same vain as Talking Sopranos would be a cracking listen.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Bargain alert.
The Corkscrew's weekly special this week is Meerlust, reduced from 42.95 to 34.95. I think it's 2016 vintage but it may be 2017. Either way, you won't be drinking it for a good few years anyway.
Hope to get in at the weekend to pick up a few bottles to round off a week of wine buying after dipping into the 2019 En Primeur sales a few times.

You could easily do the same with not drinking the good plonk until it was time.
