I don’t think people are saying you shouldn’t protest the genocide. You should! But it’s stupid to not vote for Harris over it because letting Trump win doesn’t just throw women, LGBTQ people, etc. under the bus, it also makes the genocide of Palestinians even worse.

So what protections are in place in the US to prevent surgery being done for the same ‘wrong’ reasons?

The difference is you're not forced to get it under the threat of death. And I'm not American, but as far as I know you also need a psychological evaluation to get it.

If the healthcare system was actually brainwashing people into getting surgeries they don't need that would be a general issue, not specifically a trans one.

In reality the regret rates for gender affirming surgery is usually found to be under 1%, which is extremely low and lower than almost any other type of surgery. See e.g. A systematic review of patient regret after surgery.

Might make it more bearable if you're not already using it. But it's still annoying even then.

The bells sound pretty different, if you can’t differentiate between the songs it’s probably a skill issue :P

First time seeing this but you got me, now I really want to press that button. Why am I so easily manipulated?

You're trivialising a serious issue. If you had actually read the article you'd know that they're definitely not just like any other public school and they're not just "teaching them Chinese and about society". It's an obvious and disgusting attempt to eradicate Tibetan culture.

For a few seconds I was extremely confused why one would need a tool like this for the game Celeste.

Technically it’s an alphabet, not a language (excluding the keys with actual words on them and not just letters). The letters are called Tengwar and in the lore they’re Elvish letters, but you can use them to write in other languages like English. Even in universe they’re used for other languages like on the inscription of the One Ring, which is in Black Speech.

Slay the Spire is a great game that works well on mobile and has no microtransactions. I’ve played it for 400 hours (on PC) and I’m still not tired of it.

There is no left solidarity with red fascists. And there shouldn’t be any other kind of solidarity either.

and there isn’t one near me.

That's exactly the problem that this community wants to fix.
