An opinion that ignores all actual research.

Gender affirming surgery helps 99% of people who receive it! So sure, technically, there's a tiny minority who regret it. More people regret Lasik and boob jobs, should we ban those too? Many people regret a night out drinking, how about we ban that too. Drinking causes way more harm than giving estrogen or testosterone pills to folks.

On the other hand, I like that my friends have the freedom to express themselves any way they want. They aren't hurting anyone so let's let them be free to wear whatever clothes they want and take whatever hormones they want.

So join the side of American freedom and let's stop policing what clothes people wear or what name they use.

With an open field, who would you vote for president?

Now given the field has two candidates, who do you think will do a better job between the two? I'm actually curious to hear your answers and why.

Your comment here indicates you think being able to talk over others is an important part of the job. Why do you see that as an important attribute? Does the President of the most powerful country in the world often need to be the loudest person in the room? Do they need to dominate conversations, preventing other people from talking, to do their job effectively?

When I first learned to bake bread and pizza.

Five years later I was 60lb/27kg heavier and needed to go on keto to break the bread habit. Sigh. Took me almost as long to lose an the weight, but I've kept it off now for almost ten years!

One day I hope to hike the AT again but this time with a robot dog to carry my pack 🤣

I just want to see it's fancy little trot while carrying my water and food. I'll carry myself thank you very much.

I listened to it while lifting, and now every time I lift while listening to something else I'm like "ugh this book is fine but it's no Silmarillion"

I've listened to dozens of great books at the gym, but there's only two I've wanted to listen to a second time: Silmarillion and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaimon

There's just such a vibe to those books. The stories are short, but they feel ancient. I feel rooted when I listen to them.

That and when I'm trying to fall asleep and it's winter. I'm cozy and feeling the hygge. I've got my warm drink and blankets and I want a bedtime story of how Morgoth was cast down

A screenshot from the game Celeste when the main character has a panic attack and you have to help her float a feather with her breath. Truly a remarkable game.

Keep breathing

 

I love the way the light plays on the scene, and the workers taking a rest break under the shadow of a majestic peak. Such an epic scene!

A fun local legend of how it was built:

The people of Uri recruited the Devil for the difficult task of building the bridge. The Devil requested to receive the first thing to pass the bridge in exchange for his help. To trick the Devil, who expected to receive the soul of the first man to pass the bridge, the people of Uri sent across a dog by throwing a piece of bread, and the dog was promptly torn to pieces by the Devil. Enraged at having been tricked the Devil went to fetch a large rock to smash the bridge, but, carrying the rock back to the bridge, he came across a holy man who "scolded him" (der ihn bescholten) and forced him to drop the rock, which could still be seen on the path below Göschenen.
