  • Could you elaborate? Because I’m confused by what you could mean here. What is the broader policy that they disagree with? You say they “did agree with the specific neopronouns policy”, so it seems like you are saying they agree that “harassment based on gender or neopronouns [should] remain prohibited—even if the user in question was suspected of being a troll”? If the broader policy is a policy of “respect for trans identities”, it seems like the only thing about the policy they have a problem with is its respect for trans identities.





  • there are two healthy sex phenotypes … and b) the result of something going wrong.

    What about intersex people makes them “unhealthy”? What makes what their bodies do “wrong”?

    Everything else is a) extremely rare

    Intersex people are about as common than redheads. Would you agree with the statement that redheads are the exception that proves the rule that there are 3 hair colors, blond, brown, and black?

    [Edit: more common -> about as common]


  • Yeah, wanna point out which one of us had the insurrection that ended up with someone dead and attack on the capitol again? Oh wait.

    Yes, it is worse here, as I admitted. Even factoring in hyperbole, though, this is not a papercut vs. missing limbs situation. It didn’t pan out, but the Convoi de la liberté could have escalated to something similar if they weren’t so incompetent.

    I get that Canadians can focus on both. I do think Canadians should criticize the US, same as I think USians should. It’s also understandable to worry about what’s going on here, as we are very close by and have huge influence over world events.

    But, Canadians do use how bad the US is as an excuse to ignore their own problems. I have seen it. And yes, lots of Canadians don’t! But the Canadians I know who understand things are bad tend to acknowledge this as a part of the problem.
















  • But sure, keep thinking you understand the issue better than people who have studied everything about the issue and are actually paid for their knowledge.

    Actually, looking at the source, they openly disagree with you. Here is what they say:

    “We now have a credible prospect that inflation will return to 2% in 2025. The only piece that’s missing is the conviction that wage growth will adapt to that lower inflation”, the Dutch central bank governor said in an interview with Dutch TV program Buitenhof.

    They are saying inflation is going down, but wage growth may not be. In other words, they aren’t keeping interest rates high to combat inflation, they are doing so to combat wage growth and wage growth alone. The only person here who thinks wage growth and inflation move in lockstep is you.
