• Many post-menopausal women are on both estrogen and testosterone. Literally everyone has both in their bodies. For an individual person, it’s about having the right balance at a given time, and supplementation with both or either is common

• These terms are for the person to understand themselves better so they can interact more efficiently with others, not a template that others need to know to interact with you.

  Sure, but why create new words that 99.3% of people would have to look up rather than just say, “I’m attracted to feminine people.” The constant drumbeat of new terms to describe sexualities and genders is utterly exhausting. We already have the language to describe all these things effectively without creating new words

• I know I’m probably getting downvoted to hell for this. I think calling yourself “finsexual” does nothing to help you find a partner. Why do you even need that label? The obsession with applying increasingly specific labels to people doesn’t feel healthy. In reality, you meet people, and you like someone you meet, romantically and/or sexually and/or socially, or you don’t. These specific types of labels are only for people’s imaginary future partners and seem to be an attempt at having a modicum of control in a world that’s entirely uncertain and ambiguous

• This one is different if you’re reading vs saying it though, I would def emphasize syllables differently for “The old man” (subj) vs “The old” (subj) “man” (verb)

  Uhhh…what sources did I picture? There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of sources on this, and I urged you to look into it

• That it should be legal is the null hypothesis, which must be overturned by arguments that demonstrate that criminalizing it makes society better before we can determine that its illegality is just.

  Fortunately, there are extensive bodies of work on the morality and legality of dueling, since it was a pretty common activity in the US between the Revolution and the Civil War. Don’t take my word for it. Do a little research, my woman.

• “People can be peer pressured into both lethal dueling and sex, therefore they’re equivalent” is not a valid argument.

  And even if such willingness were a sign in and of itself that someone isn’t clear-headed, would it make more sense to ban the practice than to offer proper mental care and general material support to people considering it?

  Do you think we should make suicide illegal?

  Again, lethal dueling and suicide are not equivalent. Someone deciding for themselves that they’re going to end their own life…if it’s something they’ve thought about and planned (as opposed to an impulsive attemps, which are 95% of actual suicides), there’s no realistic way to stop it. Dueling involves killing someone else , my man.

• I told my mom (78) a yesterday about how I was talking to my son (8) about climate change. She said “But he’s only 8!” I said “This will affect his entire life, and already is, because it’s so hot he can’t have recess outside.” Politically, she’s no Republican, and she hates Trump, but she still struggles to piece together that we know what’s causing climate change and how to stop it.

• When the person in front of me has turned right, and I have full clearance to proceed, my CX-5 sometimes still thinks that car is in my travel path and applies the automatic brakes. Based on my experience, this feature is much more likely to get me rear-ended than it is to stop me from hitting someone.

• Here’s the actual study if anyone cares to read it.

  Skimming it, a couple things I noticed: This was a study of over 7,000 people across all departments at a large healthcare system. They found on-site workers skewed younger with shorter tenure and remote workers skewed older with longer tenure.

  One potential pitfall: They didn’t control in any way for department or role, and so floor nurses and housekeeping staff who must work fully on-site are being compared to tenured nurses working utilization review or revenue cycle staff whose job is billing/coding and who don’t have to interact with anyone in their roles. In-person and remote jobs in healthcare tend to be very different jobs. I don’t know how well this study could be generalized to other types of job settings based on this info
