Idaho plans to ban transgender treatment for minors
So they are too young to vote, drive, have sexual relations with adults especially those in authority and all of that but they are completely old enough to decide to screw up their puberty and even go full surgery to disfigure their genitalia in order to roleplay as the other biological sex and pretend it's gender and not sex?

If this shit comes to minors close to me, I will never forgive the parents if they go through with it. That is like telling a self-harmer, go ahead enjoy your pain in moderation when they are still underage.

It's already done. Standard is unrated, Rated is now the non-default and all debates that were rated and hadn't finished voting were force-converted against the debaters' will to be unrated. I noticed and went lazier in my endings against Lancelot but to be fair he may have beaten me if I'd tryharded the later rounds.

Xi is not at fault, it is just some at the regional level and even at inspecting agencies at a national level(especially on art works) really are terrible people(some of them are not only greedy, they are western spies). If they bring me to the police station for saying this, it is probably I am right.

LMAO who the fuck do you think you are to threaten me? I am free to speak here.

Also, you have no idea what I've experienced or researched or whatever else. You know less about China than me, I guarantee it, they keep you in a bubble there where you know next to nothing about other Chinese areas.




not hard to research.

As for general Chinese people, where do you mean? Urban or rural? The rural ones seem happy and ignorant of the reality in the cities, I actually like their way of life as they stay taoist-like or buddhist-like and are peaceful and zen. The urban ones are in a deep hell of workaholism and terrible atmosphere, the gas in the general air is so toxic it can harm your lungs in Chinese cities.


Chinese people have literally evolved to cope with air pollution, meaning those who weren't resistant to it died off and/or didn't reproduce well (well they couldn't, it was a one child policy last generation)

Air pollution seriously threats to human health. Understanding the health effects of air pollution is of great importance for developing countermeasures. However, little is known about the real-time impacts of air pollution on the human heath in a comprehensive way in developing nations, like China. To fill this research gap, the Chinese urbanites' health were sensed from more than 210.82 million Weibo (Chinese Twitter) data in 2017. The association between air pollution and the health sensing were quantified through generalized additive models, based on which the sensitivities and adaptions to air pollution in 70 China's cities were assessed. The results documented that the Weibo data can well sense urbanites' health in real time. With the different geographical characteristics and socio-economic conditions, the Chinese residents have adaption to air pollution, indicated by the spatial heterogeneity of the sensitivities to air pollution. Cities with good air quality in South China and East China were more sensitive to air pollution, while cities with worse air quality in Northwest China and North China were less sensitive. This research provides a new perspective and methodologies for health sensing and the health effect of air pollution.

5. Conclusions
By combining Weibo data with air pollutant data and meteorological data, a new perspective for understanding the health effect of air pollution has been proposed and applied in 70 cities in China. The generalized additive model was employed to quantify the association between air pollution and residents' health sensing from Weibo data. This research revealed the adaption to air pollution, indicated by the spatial heterogeneity of the sensitivity to air pollution in the study area.

The application of Weibo data in health sensing can monitor urbanites' health responses in real time, and understand the health effect of air pollution from a more comprehensive level, rather than being limited to the top of the health impact pyramid. This research also introduced the generalized additive model to quantify associated the air pollution with the health sensing. There was typical power function relation between the air quality of Chinese cities and the sensitivity of residents, that is, when the air quality in the city was better than a certain threshold, residents show greater sensitivity to air pollution, and the R-Square ranged from 0.04 to 0.51. The sensitivity of urbanites' to air pollution showed obvious spatial heterogeneity. Due to their different geographical characteristics and socio-economic conditions, the seven geographical regions of China showed different sensitivities to air pollution. South China and East China were more sensitive to air pollution, while Northwest China and North China were less sensitive.

This research provides a new perspective for public health surveillance from the perspective of health sensing. Paying attention to health sensing can not only make public health surveillance closer to people's lives and real health outcomes, but also corresponding policies can be formulated before air pollution has a worse impact to reduce people's lives and property losses.

They say based on a True story. Unlike Braveheart they at least kept the correct characters and names for the actual correct positions in the power play but the biggest flaw is that it was actually the tribe they frame as oppressors siding with the Portuguese that actually were one of the tribes siding with the English seeking to free the slaves at around that time (the Oyo tribe). So, the black tribe that's demonised was actually one of the tribes siding against slavery.

Another flaw is they frame it that the Oyo were the overpowering tribe and the Dahomey tribe were smaller and only coped because they had females being warriors too. In reality the Dahomeys were the population-wise dominant tribe in the area and the Oyo didn't stand a chance regardless.

Horror movies...which are the goriest, scariest, most disturbing and/or repulsive?
I know one that is so horrific I won't even name it. Something about it kept me watching and I really am traumatised by it.

Another one was 'she' as well as 'funny games' they are similar ideas but 'she' is definitely more pureblood psychopath, but in a way that makes it more bearable to watch as 'funny games' never lets you know when the next horror vs easy scene will come.

There is something beyond those 2 but I have forgotten the specific name and trust me that should not even have been legal to make in my opinion, I couldn't even believe this kind of movie existed. Idk why I am telling this as I am 100% sure I will never let anyone know about it, it's a movie I really don't even know if it was legal to exist or how they even did some scenes without physically violating and abusing people.

After this tournament thing is over or I lose in it, I am done here.

When you wonder why, I want you to think very hard if anyone, not just me, would put up with being bullied, humiliated and treated like fucking dirt for a mental disorder, no less.

There is nowhere worth staying aroundsomeone has to endure such shit and cannot report it.

I am unable to even report bullying anymore as you removed my ability to and are too fucking braindead to realise it in front of your eyes.

The fact you think I would need to beg lancelot, badger or sidewalker to stop it and leave me alone rather than report it to you and get you to tell them how utterly vile they are being is beyond disgusting.

Once I am gone and no doubt all other good members have left or will leave, I want you to go hmmmm did we fuck up.

Enjoy whatever you want, doubt this is a real quitting, I do not care. There is nothing clearer to me regarding this site's utter moral and social decay than seeing actual straight up bullying of someone for being autistic in itself, saying things to truly hurt the person and don't pretend badger did not try elsewhere in forum games.

I am not okay with the way they speak to me and it should be utterly obvious that you idiots should have a rule directly against bullying but somehow wylted or someone convinced you to delete it.

You want a shithole? Enjoy the shithole. I am done here, I loved debating and always will but I am completely done taking this shit.

Team games can have rabling and elo, it is just far more dofficult and complex, your edge matrwrs way more.

League of Legends sees the same people rise to the top tier ranks each season. Not the exact same, some rise and fall but still for a 5v5 game, it proves that individual prowess can strongly show in a team game.

Your teammates won't throw that much. I agree with badger on something he said elsewhere; this site needs open setups, they are far more readily skill based and showdown heavy. I can hardcarry closed setups but I am a freak of nature at mafia and that is just the truth of it. Open setups are way better, they allow clear hammer holders and battlers during lynches, letting one tweak their persuasion to the hammer holder and letting scum plan who ends up where and planning ahead by early bus tension towntelling their teammate.

@Greyparrot
 is it gaining, maintaining or using control?
Discussing evolutionary traits, most men that survive today to pass on their genes control their overwhelming physical strength advantage over women. Men who didn't have the herited trait to control themselves and protect the mothers of their children were quickly removed from the gene pool.

That control is manifested outwardly by controlling emotions. Women will instinctively reject a man (incel) who shows poor control outwardly as unfit to pass on genes. Men instinctively reject a woman that doesn't display the traits of neoteny. (women who hit the wall)
The evolutionary advantage for women applying an hour of makeup is to display the level of neoteny that will allow her to secure a suitable man for her future. Although today, women do it just to score the top 10 percent of men for bedroom fun since most modern women choose to wait too long to secure a long term relationship, choosing single motherhood and wine and cats instead.

Fascinating how millions of years of evolution shaped our modern present chemical instincts.
Not only is that ignorant of the range of types but the 'Chad' you referred to tends to be very furious (but not specifically furious towards his woman), impulsive, red-blooded and lacks self control. So, even if we stuck to your stereotype there's a glaring contradiction since the type of women you stereotype aren't into the super controlled type of guy, they want a beast to be passionate and unleash onto them sexually at times while be entertaining and surprise them at others.

Did you actually just say the majority are white? Like are you actually that racist? It happens to be that nations that are less developed in the world at catching crime and encouraging victims to come forwards tend to be prominently non-caucasian on average (however Eastern Europe is a good example of many nations otherwise that are white dominated).

I am seriously confused why people feel it's okay to say 'white' as an attribute of a typical pedophile but if you would say 'black' as an attribute of a typical gangster it would be absolutely blatant how racist you were. Both statements are racist and delusional, of course.

@Bella3sp
As far as talking about survival, having to exploit a male in survival is more predictable than predicting a women. If we are aiming for the more "alpha males" they strive to win rather than hiding and waiting. More head-on head combat. I would presume they would go straight into killing you with no tactical efforts, just their fists, weapons, etc. More leaning towards them being irresponsible. If we are aiming at the more stereotypical (and also somewhat in general) views of women, they would be planning attacks more so less head-on attacks. Both are predictable but in terms of what one will do, men are more predictable. Not knowing what tactic someone might use could be your end in survival. 
Based on what you chose as a username and profile picture, I presume you're either a very feminine guy, a woman or genderqueer. The reason I say this is the way you depict men is pretty much as ignorant of internal male politics amongst 'alphas' as what GreyParrot says about both men and women.

Men are extremely complex, there is a reason that the best chess and poker players are generally men or rather non-effeminate women and it isn't lack of opportunity as much as lack of drive towards strategic and tactical things at their apex amongst women. If you think men are that brutish and obvious it tells me you have not experienced much in terms of grown men and the shit they do, men are very different to 'boys' much more so than women are to girls. Men are not as obvious or predictable at all. There's a reason you will never ever, as Dr. Franklin put it, even in a parallel universe find a feminine female equivalent to Hitler just as much as no feminine female equivalent to Voldemort in Harry Potter. The apex of deception and evil, complexity in its most severe form in humanity is almost always masculine. Women can obviously be deceptive as hell but the degree of planning, plotting and absolute disaster that men get off on doing in their most complex and sadistic ways is far beyond what women do and trust me, it's not something men should be proud of.

Usually serial-killer females tend to be more on the rare side. However, yes, I have seen more discipline in female serial killers. Rather than stalking or torturing it seems they use far less tedious tactics such as poison. 
Not as much as you think. I reckon over 90% of unsolved serial killer cases were women. They tend to be very disciplined even after getting caught, meaning they don't revel in it or take pride in how they lost control. Women actually have a sense of deep pride over how calm they stay that many men could benefit from mimicking at least in most scenarios. I believe it's because from a young age, girls condition each other to cope with a lot of mental torment, bitchiness, backstabbing, half-friend half-enemy scenarios whereas boys learn to either confront or totally avoid their 'enemies' who tend to be very up front. This means when we enter the adult world which operates much closer to high school girl politics than high school boy politics, the women are far more hardened to it and composed, capable etc of enduring what goes down whereas men are newer to it and lose their cool fast.

This is also why, I believe, there is an illusion that men/boys mentally mature slower, it's more that they never had the environment to trigger it. The mental conditioning of a boy towards his young adult life is to be tough and straightfoward, if he's angry he should fight, if he's scared he should run and most of his bullies and enemies will be at least decently obvious about it. Girls train each other from an extremely young age to comprehend and cope with backstabbing, betrayal and covert bullying that dances between friendship and torment. They enter adulthood totally understanding not only the social balancing acts it entails but how to cope with the mental stress involved. They also learned how to hide their moves much better (which is the deception greyparrot refers to, which is only one type) since they know the consequence that comes with being too obvious in where you stand with people that they were trained from bad experiences in the past as a girl.

Another thing that comes with being covert and less obvious is caution, they naturally have a tendency to be cautious and observe their social and emotional environment before making statements, moves etc. Women are not actually superior genetically to men in EQ, what happened was they were conditioned and trained from a young age to spiral their EQ higher and higher in ways boys are directly encouraged and conditioned to lower if anything.

I have (almost) never heard of a mother killing her family and herself in a murder-suicide and I have noticed far more discipline in the methods used by female serial killers etc than male ones.

Men lose control more severely for sure, the gender difference in conviction is disproportionate. In fact, if I was put into a desert island survival situation and had to exploit male enemies, I would bet on their irresponsibility whereas with female ones I would bet on them being too predictable and cautious. I could be wrong but the trends are the very inverse of what GP thinks.

Okay but in bdsm you actually should go for blood chokes instead of windpipe chokes when getting rough as it is safer especially if you want the submissive to be well oxygenated to keep going shortly after for a rough session.

Blood chokes press on the sides of the neck, windpipechokes are from the front and are brutally dangerous if done wrong even short term, blood chokes only harm if done too long and harsh.

All of us that are high-up climbed there primarily by noobsniping or even if we didn't we climbed in a far more liberal rating era and environment. If this update is to actually stop people climbing by noobsniping, the only way to do that is to completely reset the entire rating system to 1.5k for all (or whatever the new seed for default rating is).

This thread has descended into misogyny.

I would like to say your OP was closer to the truth than the shit most have posted since.

Dr Franklin talka of creative capacity and the  justified it by patriarchal past limiting opportunities to women.

That is nonsense. However, I agree that men get off on being creative in itself whereas women do it as an escape.


The idea that sex is for respect is some truly sexist BS.


The idea you have that good women don't chase evil men in love is as ridiculous as saying good men don't chase evil women.

Most men do not at all understand other men, in my opinion. We are the gender that is worse at understanding people, that itself is a more feminine area of prowess.

So to be a man, you must strive to evolve and change things that have no reason to change?
Is that what you are stating?
No, as a man you will do it whether you intend to or not. It's in a man's nature, perhaps it's brain structure, perhaps it's testosterone.

As a woman you will tend to enjoy things as they are or move away from that which you don't enjoy rather than try to change it and evolve it.

This explains the masculinity in the sensitive male artist or therapist that may otherwise seem feminine and the femininity in the female scientist or athlete who may otherwise seem masculine.
