  • The health consequences, as I said, is something we can deal with as we figure out safer methods for puberty blocking if that turns out to be the case.

    I’d rather take puberty blockers being unsafe, find out better ways to deal with this problem later on, and deal with the health problems of existing patients over the alternative.

    The alternative is having no patients to treat from puberty blocker issues, because the dysphoria got to them.

    You could make the case for any medicine we use in mental healthcare: we don’t understand the risks and longterm effects, but it usually ends up that “adverse health effects way down the line” is preferable to “preventable suicide”.

    People spout this same bullshit to be anti vaccines, anti fluorine in water, anti everything they don’t fully understand.

    NOTHING. And I mean NOTHING in medicine is ever going to be 100% safe or won’t have side effects or always be understood.

    But if you think banning life-saving medicine is better because “what if these people suffer from health issues later” idk what to say.

    And you sound like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly about people and you can’t comprehend someone not having a reductionist take on generalised human suffering.

    I don’t think anyone here is denying people suffer from capitalism, i think they’re just saying capitalism is a factor rather than the only cause, similar to how the Archduke’s assassination was a factor among many in starting WW1.










  • on the xbox controller the D-pad is to the left of the Right stick, meaning you can easily move your thumb over it to use it in certain games (like in Dark Souls, you use it to change equipped consumables/weapons). Whereas with the symmetric design, you’d have to move your right thumb a bigger distance, and also get in the way of your left thumb (which is on the left stick for movement). Ofcourde, you can always let go of movement to switch items, but that’s not always an easy option (Bossfights, enemy encounters, ehere you have to be moving constantly)

    That’s just one game i can think of where the asymmetric dedign is better
