True, I'm not. I presume you are going to say that you do and that you don't believe that rapid onset gender dysphoria does not exist, particularly for girls? That the explosion of self-reporting on the spectrum among girls is all legit?

Wait, the draft started?

Thanks, I'll be in. But feel free to ping me if I forget and you don't see a lineup submitted by Wednesday.

Parts of the following have been said, but: 1. The number is more than 18M. It's reasonable to presume a good number of the "I don't wanna say" crowd would identify on the spectrum as well. 2. It's the young folks, primarily confused girls, which are succumbing to the social contagion. Retirees aren't as easily influenced by social media and their peers. The percentages for younger groups are way higher, like "the species would cease to exist if this were accurate" trajectory.

I agree with the ideas behind almost everything he said, but I don't like the federal overreach; e.g. schools are best controlled at a local level. I also don't agree with outlawing gender transitions for adults (he said "any age"). The thing about the federal government declaring there are only two sexes seems a bit much. Basically I like the pendulum swing, but I'd like to see it swing not quite that far.

This was posted in the Biden thread.

I'm guessing that's a fake.

Thanks for taking me into the weekend with that visual.

I didn't mention anyone specifically; methinks thou doest protest too much. But since you asked: You haven't mentioned what your go-to weekend beer is; you posted not once not twice but three times begging for attention from MDC to respond to your Mexican piss comment. So you can call it non-political if you want, but I would say you aren't exactly trying to have a discussion about beer. I'd ask you to stop but, meh, you won't.

We can't even have a beer discussion without it turning into a partisan pissing contest.

I mostly only drink beer at ballgames. I usually get Four Peaks which is a local brand. Well, was, but they were bought in 2015 by... AB Inbev. It was privately owned by four guys; I knew one of them, the exact amount was never released but he made BANK. Like 9 figures bank I'm pretty sure. Anyway, they've got a wheat beer called "Wow" which also gives part of their profits to a charity called The Joy Bus.

I don't think the mom thought it was funny; watch her initial facial reaction.

I know, get off of my lawn, but yeesh! I weep for our future. Full article: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gen-z-taking-courses-send-214851080.html?.tsrc=1013

The wife went with Dirty Dancing. I paraphrase... "Duh"

Yes, thank you. Not exactly scientific as it is a sample of one, but Trump certainly exhibits all three of the dark triad, and he plays a virtuous victim card regarding the election. The more I think about it, the better I like this example. Also I wish he would just go away. Any examples of an actual group to compare to the group of people who pretend to be on the rainbow spectrum? To get sympathy in general, to look good among their virtue-signaling peers, to get out of going to male prisons, to compete unfairly against biological women?

Seems plausible.

The bolded is one of my main concerns. But mostly I wanted to compliment you on your distinction between liberals and Leftists -- I've tried several times in the past to make similar distinctions, but I'm not sure it's taken hold. Some folks here just choose not to see the distinction.

Excellent, the makings of a good discussion. I showed examples of left extremists exhibiting the "dark triad" of personality disorders, and I believe the OP with Jordan Peterson showed some as well. Do you have similar examples of the right extremes being shown such behavior in scientific studies? Goodness knows that if it were there, the leftist MSM would make sure we know all about it.

You can read my post if you'd like. It shows scientifically that psychopathic/narcissistic/machiavellian individuals tend to present themselves as "virtuous victims", often along the rainbow spectrum. I'm comfortable calling them left-wing.

He needs that Gen Z class on how to dress for the office.

So, no videos of the cubbies, eh? As I said earlier, they maybe can't see a small bag going in, but they should see who used the cubby in question

I heard a discussion on this this morning. Some things, like writing a check, are kinda like steering a plow. Lots of our ancestors did it, but are we worse off for not doing it? Probably not. It's just a skill that has largely become unnecessary. Simple math though, that gets a little more complicated. Now we are venturing into developing basic skills which not only exercise the brain but are the foundation for a host of other skills. I don't think younger kids are better off for needing a device to calculate math, even if it is easier and more productive in the short term.

Well, obviously you didn't see it, it's a movie. Also it doesn't involve women's collegiate sports. It maybe has dead people though.

My other daughter is looking to move to NYC in a month or so. Current plan is to live with a friend who will be attending Columbia for PT at the medical school up north on Manhattan. Cost for 1/2 the rent for a livable tiny apartment is about the same as our current mortgage in Phoenix. And our agent wants us as guarantors to show 80X the monthly rent in our income. It's crazy back there!
