I never watched it. It was before my time and I never had kids around when it was popular.
But didn’t some character talk in the show ?

I’ve definitely seen TV with subtitles be off by minutes. I would guess it was something like that. Sopranos player before or after this show. Maybe it was early morning and sopranos player at 4 am. This show at 5. Idk. Just speculating.

Trump wanted to literally bomb protestors last term. There is some report on a call where he wanted to do it. Just drop a missile on them.

So I don’t know Littman and Bailey are controversial. Not unethical. (Fyi Lisa Littman is herself a trans woman).
They do research on a specific sub group of trans women.
Bailey has done lots of other research on sexuality in the homosexual and bisexual area as well.
Bailey and Littmans findings make the trans community angry because the research supports that for some trans females, (not all but some) they transition due to a sexual kink. That they can only be sexually excited by being a woman.
He never said it’s true for all female trans people.
But his evidence is real.
And it’s not really surprising because there are people who cut off body parts because of sexual kinks. There are people out there who get fixated on things and are obsessed. Sexual fixation is an incredibly strong motivator.
Many in the trans community don’t like this research because it paints a picture that they are all just a bunch of perverts. Which is something that they already have to fight against. So many see it as smearing trans people or encouraging stereotypes.
And. Of course conservatives will absolutely use these types of studies to support their opinions on trans people. Weaponize it against them.
But I want to point out some things.
- Unpleasant truths don’t make them false.
- The concern of these types of studies being used as weapons is valid. But. Conservatives will use anything to validate their opinions. Regardless if it does or doesn’t. (Scientist still have a responsibility to report their research in a way to deter it being used to harm groups).
Baily says in every single one of the papers he is in, that the most effective way to treat gender dysphoria is to help the person transition to their preferred gender. He says this many times. He says it publicly. He advocates for it.
His intention is not to harm trans people but to understand them. Does he go about it in the most sensitive way. No. But intention does count.
Now bailey was also known for doing research on bisexual men. His controversial study found that self reported bisexual men actually showed a preference for men and weren’t pure bisexual. His conclusion was that bisexuality in men was likely just homosexuality. This was met with a lot of backlash. He met with people, heard concerns. And re evaluated his study methods and has since done additional studies and showed his original was flawed. (Mostly caused by the fact that men that are bisexual but prefer women more, are more likely to be closeted bisexuals).
Now I have personally met the guy. He taught statistics. I also attended a seminar on his work.
I never took his sexually courses. But I had heard of his work before attending the uni he was at.
I’ve actually read the papers.
I think most people who don’t like him, have not. Or they are mis understanding statements.
He never makes negative statements about trans. And the last paper I read, was by one of his grad students who was herself, a trans woman.
Transvestite culture has been around for a very long time. Trying to pretend it’s not real because you don’t like the narrative is not the way forward.
Do I like bailys personality? Not particularly. I think he’s one of those people who like to challenge things , sometimes just to see other people squirm. A bit pretentious . But I can’t deny his research has merit to it. That’s why it keeps getting published. The methodology and statistics are sound science.
As a last point. I don’t care if the reason that people want to transition is because it’s a sex thing. To me that does not change anything. Adults have a right to full autonomy over their own body. They are the only ones who get to decide such things like their gender.
I also couldn’t care less what weird kinks other people have. As long as it’s consenting adults, it’s none of my business.
That says, I realize though that my easy acceptance of people transitioning for whatever reason won’t be shared by the general public.
But I still say though that the people who will have a problem with it, currently have a problem with transitioning, even if the narrative is “I was born in the wrong body”.
Even that won’t satisfy them as a good enough reason.
So no point in pandering to them.

so Omar is a mother of 3. You think she hasn’t been urinated on?
I’m an aunt and all 3 of my nieces have leaked urine on me at some point while they were in diapers. It happens. It’s not that big of a deal. Washes off.
If it was urine, it wasn’t the offensive horrifying play this man might have thought it would be.
Let’s just be relieved it wasn’t something deadly.

Gasoline is literally explosive. It’s not just an accelerant.
It will explode. The fumes are enough to make it explode.

I 100 percent agree that if you can use open source, then do it.
I haven’t tried openscad but I’m willing to try it. I did start learning 3d CAD on FreeCAD and I had a bad time.
Actually when I first saw this post I thought openscad was the program I had previously used but after double checking, I realized I was mixed up.
Hey I love blender and it’s Open source and it’s always evolving and improving.
I use other open source like audacity and shotcut.
But sometimes there isn’t anything better than a proprietary software. Ive never found a comparable replacement for Photoshop, Camera raw, or illustrator. I also like paint tool sai. It’s not free exactly but it is a one time small fee. Small company owns it.
So Ill just keep using my pirated versions of those Adobe programs.
But I’m always open to finding alternatives.

Yeah that’s fair. But I don’t pay to use it.
I didn’t pay for my copy of Photoshop or illustrator either.

This one time , in my mid 20s. I was dating this guy. He invited me over. Said he was going to make me nachos. He said he had a whole fancy way to make them. Really talked them up.
I get there and he puts chips on a plate. Covers in cooked ground hamburger and yellow cheese. Microwaves it.
(That was all the ingredients) And presented it to me like it was his best.
I mean maybe it was.
I personally don’t like that nasty yellow nacho cheese.
But I ate it anyway and complimented him.
But I was super disappointed. I still remember the event. 25 years ago.
Also I felt bad for him that he apparently didn’t know how to cook. He was like 27 then.
This image somehow brought up all those feelings of disappointment after all the hype and then followed by pity for the creator.

I repeatedly clarify the definition.
Have any luck finding peer reviewed papers with erowid references. ?
Maybe it’s cause it’s not a scientific resource.
- Comment on The holy journey 1 week ago:
That’s literally what I said
- Comment on The holy journey 1 week ago:
Because erowid does not meet the definition of a resource.
Again.
Links to resources is not itself a scientific resource.
I defined for you multiple times what “scientific resource” means.
Unlike erowid, maps actually conducted scientific research.
That’s why they are listed as a resource.
Even Wikipedia has people review the material.
Erowid does not.
You are uninformed about what science is. You refuse to acknowledge my definition. You know literally nothing about my research capabilities. Maybe I’m terrible at research but you wouldnt know one way or the other.
Which makes your opinion uninformed and therefore irrelevant.
Erowid are opinions of people who use recreational drugs. It’s not written by scientist. Or researchers. And research can be misunderstood by lay people.
As I said. Some of the information may be accurate. Doesn’t matter. It’s still not a scientific resource.
I, as a scientist, would not tell people to use lemmy or reddit to learn about neuroscience. I definitely wouldn’t advise using erowid for the same reasons.
Citing a resource does not make the text a resource.
- Comment on The holy journey 1 week ago:
What exactly is your point ?
First you say I’m not a “real” researcher because I didn’t give erowid as a resource.
I said it’s not scientific. You say “uh yeah it is”. I explain why it’s not and what “scientific” means because a lot of people are actually mis informed on this. And I didn’t want to argue semantics.
And then you say. That .
Are you also incapable of following your own arguments ?
What IS your argument then ?
- Comment on The holy journey 1 week ago:
Your links were irrelevant to your argument that erowid is a scientific resource.
It’s not.
