Inflation is 88 percent since y2k. Excited for a 50k a year job out of college in the year 2000? That’s 90k now. 7.25 minimum wage from 2000? Should be at least 13 now. It isn’t, should be.

People are alway “oh, money doesn’t go as far as it used to”, but they don’t get how dramatic it is.

I don’t think theres any amount of scientific study thats going to change the loud minority of people who are anti transitioning. They would look at this study and see that the brainwashing is complete, and “they” could do it to anyone, and the people studied aren’t to be trusted.

The only evidence I need to support the medical consensus is to see that suicidal ideation rates are lower in people who transition that have gender dysphoria, and the handful of sad boys I knew who are now happy girls post transition.

Stallman eats things off his feet, is a terminal creep around women, and a terrible songwriter. But he’s been correct about software licensing, how companies will use and abuse Free software, and enormously consistent about it over the years.

So yeah, he kinda sucks, but when he talks about licensing and freedom, I listen.
