It can always get worse. Have you not seen history?

Nobody said that. But now we get Israel with more of a free pass (yes, it can get worse) and "Dr. Oz" running Medicare.

Awesome right? Hope Democrats learned a lesson at least! Or something...

I switched to a company that had data caps and the next day my car broke down.

Businesses colluding to harm a competitor is though, which is what he claims.

It's still ridiculous claim.

Well, the department of energy is still around.

We did it... We taught those Democrats a lesson... Yay...

No you redact it first.

Oof...

I get furries (well, enough for the purposes of this conversation at least), but they are different than "therians" right? I'm not as familiar with the term but it seems that they are people who identify as an animal not with.

The issue I have is that the wording here is pretty handwavy

This is pretty clearly a social and psychological phenomenon, not a neurological trait having nothing to do with a system of neurological development (influenced by hormones, for example).

I'm not so sure it's quite so "clear" to anyone that doesn't study these topics in detail. And I don't know enough about what is or is not a neurological trait.

To the best of our knowledge, hormones don’t influence the animals you like or identify with.

That's a good point. But the brain does and the brain is an organ as Steve points out. Is the difference of one being influenced by hormones sufficient?

That's the hair I'm trying to split.

I always like Steve's writings - he's about as fair as a person can get.

Some people have a strong psychological identity with an animal archetype, just like some people think they are aliens, or that they were reincarnated. This has literally nothing to do with gender identity and is not the same kind of phenomenon

This argument comes up a lot and I would like to know more about what the differences in these phenomenon are.

How can anybody who lived through this moron's first administration think he has a plan for anything.

I can't believe we need to go through this shit again...

It's a mummy. We just have to break the curse and it will die.
