Either way if that was my enemy I'd lose faith too. People need to start tuning into reality here. It's been in front of our faces the whole time.
The La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo need Trump to live to continue the S3 project. They activated bullet deflection field via undetectable electromagnetic nanomachine devices. These devices were of course implanted in the former president during administration of the covid vaccine (a hallmark of the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo, for those of us old enough to remember the Shadow Moses incident).
I advise anyone still seeking answers to consult the readily available texts on the matter.

Quote: Biden says he'd consider withdrawing if 'medical condition' emerges - report
Joe Biden said he would consider dropping out of the presidential race if a "medical condition" emerged, the New York Times reports, citing an excerpt released from Biden's interview with Ed Gordon of BET News.
According to the Times, Biden was asked if there was any reason that would make him reconsider staying in the presidential race.
In response, Biden said:
"If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem."
Earlier this month, Biden said during an interview with ABC host George Stephanopoulos that he would only drop out of the race if the "Lord Almighty" told him to do so.
Biden's comments come amid increasing calls from Democrats to withdraw his re-election bid over concerns of his age and mental competency, particularly after his poor debate performance against Donald Trump.
So basically once someone reminds him he has dementia, he'll drop out I guess

I love when election season starts kicking off the tankies who use Trans defense shields, and other left wing tactics to reveal their real tankie talking points. Then the left wingers drop the act a bit, and show that they know that the Soviet Union wasn’t benevolent whatsoever.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3z4vg/tell-me-why-smothers-its-representation-in-bubble-wrap
Quote:Tyler Ronan is a transgender man, which is daring. Or it would be, even when trans characters exist in video games (or any other media) typically it’s trans women on display. But as with everything else, it’s too safe. I know it will resonate with other critics, and that many trans players will respond positively to it. They’re not wrong to do that. But "the representation" in Tell Me Why also comes across as too practiced, almost unctuous. I have no doubt that this comes from a sincere desire to "get it right." Just like the overly eager FAQ they released promising no one gets hurt and they followed all the right steps. Because it does. It hits every checkmark, as though the developers were quietly lurking through years of discourse, compiling data to produce the Correct Result. It feels desperate for approval, for someone to say "this is how you tell a trans man's story correctly."
No. This is how you tell a trans man’s story safely.
Quote:There are no slurs, no pointed "insults," and the game never insinuates Tyler is trans because of trauma (which they insist I tell you about and caution that this is a false narrative about transness). Of course, there are some people who don't get it, are clumsy with Tyler being trans after having only known "Ollie." All but two are very quick to try and course correct for their gaffs in a believable and even endearing way. The biggest offenders here are simply non-characters and one who despite her beliefs, still doesn't misgender or deadname Tyler.
Which, if I'm honest, is a little weird.
Actually, it's kind of a lot weird. Because there is transphobia in this game, it’s just been defanged to seem like no big deal when it happens. It’s trying to be sensitive, but it just feels naive, even dismissive at times.
Any trauma Tyler experiences regarding his identity is routed through the much larger central trauma around the twins' mother. It's transgender trauma divorced from itself.
Quote:Isn’t this what we bargained for? Depictions of identities that are marked by trauma that both acknowledge the trauma exists, but refuse to directly engage with it. We pushed for better representation only to have the edges of our identities filed down and wrapped in Nerf foam.
For our safety.

Doctors in Europe basically don't prescribe it because 99% of the time the side-effects are worse than going through a COVID infection.

Approximately 96.4% of that sample had received a chest-related surgery, and these surgeries were largely restricted to minors between 15 and 17. No surgeries were done on minors under age 12.
In a sample that combined transgender and cisgender minors, 150 breast reductions were done on youth. Of those, 146 (or 97%) of these surgeries were done on cisgender boys who had gynecomastia, the medical term for unwanted breast development in cisgender males.
Now of course phobes gonna still pedal lies, but if you ever need some statistics to immediately break those lies, here you go.
Tata for now. 💋
The question I have here is this, if these kids aren’t getting surgeries, why are they upset with putting in safeguards in case it happens in the future?

Foffy wrote:When people think of COVID, do they think "it's like the flu" or do they see the virus as akin to being infected with HIV/AIDS? If you polled people they'd say the former despite it being a vascular virus and that assumption deeply ignores the difference in risk and damage if one gets infected. Most people still don't understand losing your sense of smell from COVID can risk actually being an indicator you have suffered brain damage from the infection. Every COVID infection increases risks of immunity theft, and these stack if you've been previously infected. This is not good for any person of any age. Our real concerns shouldn't be on death but disability and problems stemming from long COVID.
Our policies are currently "stay home until you lack a fever" when it really should not have changed from "stay home for at least 10 days at minimum" because we'd take the risks of infection and its potential damages seriously. We have done everything possible to present a real problem as a nothingburger, and it would be awful for a public case of this problem to be found with the sitting President of the United States. My point was this is a real fucking problem we still let run rampant through our societies all over the world when if we knew the real damage this can cause we'd be much more careful and much more serious about it. We continue even today to describe it "like the flu" and people do not understand just how dangerous that is in terms of downplaying the severity of it. Look at the Tour de France for a very recent example. They still mask despite the hot weather because the best doctors on earth know any infection of COVID could risk permanently compromising athletes. And we let this shit run through schools because we see it "like the flu" in that it can only ever harm the already vulnerable. This is not true as each COVID infection is closer to making someone permanently vulnerable to a mountain of other illnesses and ailments.
My original intention with my previous post was to try to highlight that there's a big problem when we conflate COVID with the flu. I'd argue this is reckless and dangerous public policy, and I don't hope we see why with Joe Biden. Even if he was twenty years younger, him getting it is an issue if he's had it before. The fact this is the third time he's gotten it is actually more concerning than the fact he's 81 and currently has COVID. That reality doesn't really settle in for most people.
