ADS for milsim games. Regular aim for shooters that are actually fun.
yup, It's why deadnaming and "misgendering" are such serious crimes in the troon world. it breaks the delusion and reminds them of reality, often times abruptly and in a way where they're not ready to handle it.
it's why I feel like counseling is so important. the longer you reject reality, the more it will hurt when it comes crashing down on you.
it's possible, the hormones have been used for other things beyond trooning people, and people who take them under those circumstances do not display addictive behavior. Troons also like to talk about the euphoria they get when they simply wear the clothes of their desired sex.
My take is that it is a combination of perverted sexual gratification, and satisfaction in achieving the goal of "becoming" the opposite sex. Of course, they will never actually become the opposite sex and they know it deep down. barring heavy makeup, costuming, and surgery, nobody will agree that they are the sex they claim to be without immense social pressure. any kind of normal interaction creates stress for them because of this, so they further retreat into the hug box. it ensnares them and entraps them until they literally cannot exist outside of it, and they go crazy.
This is why I refuse to accept "validation" as treatment for this kind of condition. encouraging a delusional person to retreat further and further into their delusion might make them happier in the short term, but it will ultimately destroy them one way or another. if the person is to live a long and happy life, they need to be able to come to grips with reality and accept it. I firmly believe this can be done with actual counseling, and a safe environment, where they're delusions are discussed and poked at gently over time.
based on this article, it sounds like she suffered from actual gender dysphoria, and there was no treatment. So she likely turned to online hugboxes who repeatedly told her she was heckin valid and everyone who does not acknowledge her invisible penis was evil.
These people need actual treatment and counseling, not """validation""".
reminds me of how leftists will praise the union for their heroic triumph over slavery during the US civil war, while simultaneously condemning in the strongest possible terms the Union's absolute slaughter of native Americans.
Dude...like...bro!
fine, whatever. Disney fanfiction is not canon anyway.
I do tax witholding and I still had to write a gigantic check.
hmm, now I'm curious, what did the tax brackets look like in the 1950s?
1953: over 50% of everything over $28,000 ($328,814.38 in 2024 money) goes to the feds, 92% of everything over $400,000 ($4,697,348.31 in 2024 money) goes to the feds. source: https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/historical-income-tax-rates-brackets/
no wonder they cut taxes, the rich people were probably doing everything they could to avoid the tax man entirely. Some money from rich people is more than no money at all.
if my two second research is correct, Canada already has VAT. they literally already take revenue from streaming services.
when Russia officially invaded, NATO had two reasonable options: join the war and fight back, or let Russia win and end the conflict.
NATO did neither of these things. instead, NATO decided to bankroll the Ukrainian defense just enough for the war to drag on forever, killing hundreds of thousands of people on both sides and escalating global tensions. defence contractors and hawkish politicians get their payday while the world is objectively made worse.
I see the video of the confrontation, and knowing leftists the story being passed around is probably not true, but what about the context of the daughter's bullying or any statements from Briggs?

the point is, there's plenty of software that does what Photoshop can do that you can actually own.
Star Wars has had fiery explosions in space since the beginning. the first prequel movie had a fire in the shield generator of a star ship when it got shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfMoXBOjWBM
atmospheric physics in space is just part of star wars's suspension of disbelief.
fuck you, random twitter fag. in a social context, partner used to mean an inseparable friend (ex: Miguel and Tulio from Road to El Dorado), NOT someone you want to fuck or marry.
of all the sins that Disney Star Wars has, I've learned to give Star Wars in general a pass when it comes to space physics. I would be more concerned with the terrible retcons, but at this point I have ascended into not caring.
in any sane society this would be simultaneously assault and vandalism. assault because it is physically attacking someone with an unknown, potentially dangerous liquid. vandalism because it is intentionally damaging someone's property by staining their clothes with this unknown liquid.
it's worse. they legitimately think that some smarter person who knows best has determined an item to be false after careful consideration in honestly weighing the facts.
they don't think for themselves.
it definitely predates "woke", at least in its current incarnation.
never heard anyone say "based" unironically outside of the chans and here.
people need to start suing for libel (slander?). Even if a claim is not accurate, having any logical reason to believe a claim means it is not "baseless".
