Surely there’s more to life for the top 1% of learners than trying to get retribution against public institutions. One might ask if you’re really as brilliant as you say if you can’t see that - or maybe you were just early as a child, and that’s all.
Why are you so focused on the NYC high-end high school segment? It is utterly unrelatable to 95% of all students and conservatively 85% of users here.
Being surrounded by adults all the time is only a problem if you never spend time around actual peers. Nobody should be forced to isolate themselves like that.
Yes. It is a brutal existence. Social isolation can continue long past when you would expect it to end, after graduation from high school or college, because of the exploitive behaviors of employers and the self-exploitive nature of someone who only finds solace in work.
What is the solution? I will not spoil it for you, but it does not involve giving up.
"Residual current device". It detects current leaking to ground; essentially it prevents you from killing someone by throwing a toaster into the bathtub.
> Don't forget the AC terminal strips that power the whole thing, sourced from the local dollar store.
Love how you’ve fuzzed the root cause to make it seem like the “dollar store strip” is the problem and not that it was plugged into an overloaded outlet or run inside a closet at significantly elevated temperatures, leading to plastic melting and wires shorting.
Always helps to keep the “magic” a secret so the rubes have to keep us wizards employed, right?
But it’s so easy to portray doctors as money-hungry child predators! After all, doesn’t Beautiful Perfect American Capitalism encourage individuals to participate in the market, if not live their lives, as ruthless profit-seekers?
Aren’t politically and socially conservative, evangelical-proximal, moderately wealthy Tucker-Carlson-consuming Americans constantly re-trained into that frame of mind?
Is it so surprising that people see what they want to see, or expect to see, or have been taught to see, in everything around them?
“Many people” being substantially in the minority, like 1-5% of an already microscopic population. Non-surgical puberty blockers are completely reversible and do not sterilize. Please don’t spread irrelevant, hateful flamewar bait and FUD in random threads as a way to Cunningham yourself out of ignorance.
Edit: I'm not permitted to reply to the comment below, but I would like to point out that it's a rather shallow dismissal of a well-researched paper. I would recommend actually reading the whole paper, at the very least to challenge one's preconceptions on this issue. Personally, I find such challenge to be an intellectually stimulating experience.
This paper casts doubt on the current evidence for "completely reversible" as well as their efficacy without really providing evidence of the opposite. I would invite you to read further studies showing that puberty blockers are safe, reversible, and extremely important to trans youth's health:
For example. There's definitely still studies to be done, but there is good evidence that puberty blockers are safe and reversible that this author seems to have missed
The blockers themselves are reversible. The treatments that may follow are not necessarily reversible.
Do you really expect to simply point at a single-author paper that came out last week to “win” this discussion? Why the hour-old account focused purely on promoting trans hate?
I would flag your comment if I had the authority. This is not acceptable language for this forum.
