It is, definitely. We own our home and leave it on the level 1 charger all the time. It gets us around the metro just fine, no long commutes so it’s great for us. And as someone mentioned somewhere around here, a longer charge time isn’t necessarily bad if you’re the only driver on long trips. I’m honestly more worried about having to stop in areas with only a couple chargers (Midwest here) and some asshole vandalizing them and leaving me stranded. But that’s a concern that pops up once or twice a year at best. And the various charger apps are pretty good a letting you know they’re down.

I’m certain that I won’t be able to put out an ice engine either. That’s fire people territory and I trust them to know their business.

Someone once referred to motorcyclists (specifically the ones without helmets or leathers) as “meat crayons” in front of me and I can never get it out of my head.

As the owner of a Bolt, the only significant criticism is range (mine’s a 2020, gets ~180mi comfortably on the interstate) and charging rate (2020 bolts are limited to 50 kW, so kinda specific). Not great for road trips, but otherwise fantastic. As for electric fires… yeah I wasn’t gonna be able to put that out anyway so the firefolk have it either way.

Not all of them. Some will commit suicide by five shots to the back of the head.

That’s fair and I would agree, and further guess that I’m reading too far.

That if smells of capitulation without agreement, but thank you in any case. I hope you have a nice day.

Context clues and elementary understanding of language. They stated, prior to mod removal, that they had seen doctors force transitioning. Present tense. This would imply that the person was alive in the 60s/70s (reasonable, though Lemmy’s demographics make that unusual). The more likely, and unprovable on the internet, truth is that the person is regurgitating misinformation.

A quote from someone that quoted the person (incompletely it seems): “seen doctors force sex change to children that lead to the child killing themselves in adulthood”.

This also does not address the inherent misleading portion of it, which is the thing that merits the outrage: cases from half a century ago are not a basis on which to inform people of wrongdoing in modern healthcare. Granted, I didn’t explicitly state that as a goal from the outset, but we’re cuddling up next to bad faith to assert that as unreasonable.

Was. It was common practice. It is not relevant because the person above asserted that it is currently common practice. My goalposts are stationary and your evidence only provides historical context.

Disinformation merits hostility. I’ll yield when I’m wrong.

Because this case ended it, it is no longer true that doctors force transitioning, thus proving my assertion that the person above is full of shit. Show me a relevant case and I’ll be happy to change my mind. Some case in which a doctor forced transitioning and was not prosecuted or sued over it within the last decade. I’m flexible on the date.

They are not referring to detransitioning (which is real though a minority to my understanding). They are referring to the blatant lie that doctors force patients to transition.

Edit: He -> They. Feels really inappropriate to assume gender given the context.

One case in the 60s/70s? That’s bad evidence. I assume you are clarifying and not supporting the person above.

Big claims need big evidence. Source.

Bullshit. Source or it didn’t happen.

Checks which community I’m in. Yeah that checks out.

Yeah, without that edit, I was immediately in “burn the bootlicker” mode. You make a valid consideration.

Quick guideline that’ll help you be more empathetic to the rest of humanity: other people’s experiences aren’t like yours. Their bodies behave differently, they have different socioeconomic statuses, their minds struggle with things yours finds easy and vice versa. So “skip a meal” is trivial for you and impossible for another. That’s why many different diets exist.

Stop painting humanity with one brush just because you can’t see outside your own world view.

Also: A chunk of human history where we skipped meals regularly also involved getting eaten by predators. Just because it was true in the past does not make it true now. Having access to calorie bombs 24/7 is normal now. And society hasn’t figured out how to deal with that. Some handle it fine, others handle it poorly.

Where did they assert that it was a substitute for water? I missed it. I also missed your justification for the same (approximately) beverage being twice the calories in America, thus contributing to that problem that you blame on individuals. Almost like you don’t have one. Weird.
