@ymeskhout How great is it to have a court system that gives everybody their day, but demands that the petitioners either put up or shut up? So beautiful.
@ymeskhout Not presently, no. But I have a feeling that the lack of substance in the Trump GOP will mean that its fall is inevitable. Just a matter of time.
@ymeskhout They came to him with a binder of things. He looked through it. Didn't see anything noteworthy. He asked if it was all, and they said no, there's more. He asked to see it. Never saw anything more.
They primaried him the next election and replaced him.
The same thing happens with in-house lawyers. At least product managers build things! Growing the legal team should be an anti-signal of achievement, unless there's a clear need. Delivering results with fewer resources should be a virtue.
I know this for a fact: If you ask a random HR Partner if a person is ready for promotion to Director, do you know what they're going to ask first? "How many people are reporting to them?" This system is broken.
Don't install @MyEverLights . We've had lots of problems, and now they won't work at all, a mere two years after paying a lot of money to have them installed.
@patrickqmason This take is small-minded. I don't own a gun, but the gun-owners I know do so quietly and responsibly. You're reacting to the small but visible gun-worshipers, and taking from them a stereotype that you then apply to all others.
@mypublicmike Over the course of a year, the NYTimes has changed their tone on this issue, because of a stream of evidence that's come out that the adverse effects of puberty blockers have been understated by researchers (many of whom have gender-affirming practices, so aren't impartial)
@mypublicmike But this quote, from the article you cited, is flatly false. Demonstrably so.
"But studies have found that these side effectsβand puberty delay itselfβare reversible, Safer says."
If nothing else, you should look into that claim. It will change your view of those experts.
@mypublicmike If you are closed off to opposing views, then of course you won't be convinced. But the data is coming in consistently in favor of the critics, Europe is changing their approach. You can wait until the inevitable correction happens, or you can look now. Up to you.
@mypublicmike The article you cited simply repeats the same thing you do: appeals to authority. I think authorities are important, but they aren't infallible, and they haven't responded to their critics.
@mypublicmike I have. I found the arguments against it to be more credible. The funding isn't really an issue because they point out where the flaws are in the studies themselves. I am not relying on their reputation and expertise, but their analysis.
