He tries to hard to be a centrist at times so plays down and makes excuses for ideologically motivated actions.
This is well known and many studies have shown that medical intervention has little to no impact on the suicidality of trans people.

Main predictor of mortality in this population is psychiatric morbidity, and medical gender reassignment does not have an impact on suicide risk.
Treating the underlying mental health issues through mental health care was the only form of treatment that had an impact.
Anyone pushing for medical gender reassignment (anything involving hormones, which a puberty blockers are, or surgery) are people that are literally working against the science.
When there is a ~80% desistamce rate for people under 18 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5841333/ anyone advocating for any medical intervention is causing harm.
Immigration should look at current growth rates and look at expansion of services, utilities and residential housing supply and cap it so they are not restricted or under pressure.
The high immigration rates are causing housing supply issues across the western world butnits not just that, trying to go to GPs, dentists, etc. have long waiting lists and they are getting longer.
Countries for too long have only measured growth by measuring gross GDP increase and not looking at things like GDP per capita increase and real wage growth metrics that look at whether the actual people in the countries lives are improving or is it just the governments coffers getting bloated for more pork to barrel.
Wayback machine is the main way to access all the deepfreeze info now. I had to change all the hyperlinks on KiA reddit to use archives because of that.
Someone tried to get ahold of the deepfreeze people but its been radio silence.
It would have been the result of a community complaint so some prude got their knickers in a twist and made a complaint, this would have caused a review and due to the classification board in Australia using different standards for games compared to other media it will get refused classification. Its possible that at the moment its just taken off stores while under review.... but I doubt it.
Acid never sent a modmail.
We responded in the thread the reason why those links were removed was because they were 404ing, and they were removed when all the 404ing links got cleaned up.
It isn't anything more than it was pointed out that half the links in the sidebar were dead, so we cleaned up the ones we could with archive versions and the ones that couldn't got removed.
If anything you could call us lazy for not finding the new links since 8chan uses a different domain as to what was originally linked.
Here's the thread
edit: It was bit ly was removing the link saying that it was dangerous to that site.
Cheers.
I still haven't gotten around to doing a meta post.
What's wrong with what I said?
I'm the current head mod. Fji has retired.
A good chunk (55% ish) use a browser with little over 50% of that traffic being new reddit (ugh) and the rest being old.
Reddit on mobile browsers sucks, and I would guess a good portion of the traffic to that site is when people are sitting on the toilet delaying the wipe rather than people browsing it on their computer. That's just a guess but a lot of people just scroll on their phones while doing other stuff these days.
Yeah he was really bad on twitter with some really authoritarian and malicious takes. He has said on a video that he has taken a step back from social media as it brought out the worst in him... but it was a mask off moment.
Ahh damn man, I always liked you, why you gotta do me like that.
Reddit is making API changes which will kill off third party apps. Traffic to KiA is around about 40% from third party apps. This will force everyone onto the first party apps which suck. While ultimately it will do nothing and the admins will ignore it, its the only way to say "this is stupid" to them.
The API changes are explicitly not going to affect mod tools or the ban bots that are running around autobanning users for participating in subs so all this does is force people onto the first party apps. I think this eventually will lead to the death of old reddit as well.
Sad that they pinged you. Your posts were/are always high quality.
I can't see it being recovered to many power mods and to many have been hired by the company that are deranged.
That this AEO solution was seen as acceptable in the first place shows they are psychotic.
We are now getting comments that we have already removed being actioned by AEO and users copping warnings and bans.
So even us removing it isn't stopping the users from getting banned.
Anti evil operations.
Its the admin group that does all the speech policing on the site
You should see the bullshit now.
AEO is now a bot and is just doing word searches. Faggot, Retard, tranny are now getting auto removed by AEO and users getting warnings and bans. Its fucked.
We had the comment "Elliot is confused about a lot of things" (referring to Elliot Page whatever the fuck she calls herself) and that got removed by AEO and the user banned.Two users banned for one saying "your point was retarded" and the other replying was "no its not retarded if you can't read"
The shit is getting so soft these days. The site is fucked.
Drive to Survive... it brought in so many new viewers into Formula 1.
The problem is all of these new ones seem to be morons. Formula 1 has been trying to broaden its appeal to capture the pop culture crowd a lot lately and so its virtue signalling hard... problem is for them is that most of the teams and the drivers don't care about that stuff and some come from cultures which actively oppose that stuff so its all nonsense.
Check reveddit on the comicbook sub at the moment. They've already changed their filters to autoremove Isom, Rippaverse etc. already.
I'll repost what I posted on the other site
Obligatory that sub is pozzed:
They got upset when a book depicting children perfoming oral sex on each other was banned https://archive.ph/qkCmV
They lied about the Florida anti grooming bill and deleted any comments correcting some of the lies in the thread https://archive.ph/tumR6
They had a thread alleging the LAPD was called about death threats against a creative team that wrote a story where Jon Kent came out as bi https://archive.fo/BTUon only for the story to be fount to be false and then deleted all the threads showing that the story was false https://archove.fo/MaheA https://archive.fo/2x8lk https://archive.fo/CUzlp
Removes threads because they mention Trump https://archive.fo/25D5C
Mods delete threads when they lose arguments https://archive.fo/DVh1l
Delete pro right wing comments and anti left comments https://archive.fo/Lyutg
Delete any positive comments about Jordan Peterson https://archive.fo/zGreO
I'm Aussie as well but the amount of leftist Aussie fuckheads that are out there is way to high.
On reddit as soon as a I see r/Melbourne in their history I know I'm about to read some retarded horseshit. The mod causing a lot of the drama at the moment on the comicbook sub is an Aussie.
Those r/politics threads that are anti Trump are full of Aussies giving their two cents about local American politics.
Leftist Australians are some of the most arrogant, narcissistic retards that are out there. The false confidence and delusion they have is over the fucking top.
The Project did a story where the hosts had travelled overseas and they were exclaiming how every other country no longer gave a shit about Covid. They were incredulous. They just couldn't beleive it. They don't realize that for the majority of the world it wasn't as big a deal as we made it. They did not have the psychotic response that we did. They do not understand that they are authoritarian who operate purely on emotion and that's not how everyone else operates. They have no principles, they have no morals so they don't understand when people have them and stand by them.
Tl;Dr Aussie leftists are loud morons.
They used to pretend. When they banned Chappo they tried to use that as an example of them being fair and balanced. We all knew it was horseshit but they at least pretended.... now though its mask off insanity there right now. Just open psychopathy on display and being protected by the admins.
Have a look what's going on there at the moment.
Open and blatant death threats and doxxing. Calls for violence, calls for violence against religious institutions etc. None of it is being touched its all allowed to stay up.
They seemed to have dropped the pretence of at least pretending they are not biased. Its ridiculous on there at the moment.
Considering the last one caused a whole heap of guys to kill themselves I'd wait until its ok... and if you aren't in a committed relationship anyway... don't be a fool wrap your tool. Condoms don't just protect from STD's but years of child support payments as well.
No probs.
Typically an honorary doctorate is recognition for achievements in the field. This isn't like the honorary degree crap they give to celebrities. It does give their doctorate some more initials (PhD.H) they can't call themselves a Dr though but add H.C to the end of their name.
It is sort of like recognition of prior learning but in this case its recognition that your achievements in the field elevate you enough to be recognised as doctor level (though you still aren't granted the full doctorate title)
The amount of people that I've met that still think the shit in that book was true and repeat it is really shameful and shows how quickly narratives can change when people hear something they want to be true even when every bit of actual evidence shows it to be wrong.
