Thank you for the links. It's going to take me some time to go through it all. Have an upvote!
I watched most of video from Alexander so far and plan on finishing it. Seems like good stuff from a fairly reasonable person so far. Its giving me topics that I can use for further research on this to help develop my opinion.
I use Steam mainly because I haven't found any major issues with how Valve does things overall. It's been a fairly good experience for many years. Plus, with the steam deck it's much more convenient to have on Steam.
Now, I'm thinking if the price goes low enough, I'd pick it off GoG to download the installer and store someone just in case. I like the idea of having a backup just in case.
I actually use steam to install the GoG game installers and completely bypass the heroic launcher.
In short, I hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
I was pushing back against the idea that the vehicles shouldn't exist and nobody should have them. I definitely seen some people who probably don't need it.
From my personal anecdotal experience, I know someone who lives out of a trailer and they are mobile all the time. It doesn't make sense to have a truck + sedan because they move around all the time. So instead they have one of those big trucks to lug a home trailer that they can drop off and then go do anything else they need in the area. Very specific niche case, probably would be ridiculed here if seen driving on the streets.
Thank you for taking the time responding. I appreciate your thoroughness. If that's the case with the surgeries, than it doesn't seem as bad considering it's the age limits that are regularly there.
From what I've experienced, people just say I'm wrong, not explain themselves. Most people in the comment section seem to have painted me as outright evil and done the exact same thing.
I do have some reservations due to how I see the trans movement portraying themselves as a whole. I'm being called for completely falling for the propaganda, but that goes both ways. For example, I'm pretty sure there isn't sufficient evidence to prove puberty blockers are completely reversible. That would take at least maybe 10 years to get good initial data, but it would probably need to be a long term study that goes even longer.
Back to my original point I was making, there are extremes on both sides I think are absolutely crazy. Just as you point out that the information from the side I lean on more definitely has some ridiculous things stated, same is for the other side. Unfortunately, those are the loudest usually.
I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate the time you took to write out your response. It was refreshing to see.
Unfortunately with the way elections are set up, it doesn't properly show the will of the people. A winner takes all for congressional seats I'd say generally push only the extremes to the forefront.
There should be ranked choice voting to allow a better chance for third parties and to have a better allocation of representatives of what the people actually think and want.
That sounds like ot could be a focused lesson. Why try to skirt around what the desired goal is?
That also could be placed into detecting if something is wrong with AI too. Teach people things to just help spot these errors.
In my experience, it's so much more effective to learn how to find the answers and spot the issues than to memorize how to do everything. There's too much now to know it all yourself.
Looked at the image you provided. I can see your point about some of the sightlines. For regular commuting in most circumstances, I'll give you it. But that's the thing, you seem to be assuming a very specific circumstance and applying it to everything. You are trying to take a role of a general passenger vehicle for daily commute and applying it to a vehicle meant for work.
So yes, for regular commuting I'd say you are 100% right. But there are uses outside of such a limited scope.
I wonder if that happened in real life too...
Yup, to add on, with all those restrictions somehow it's still a crime ridden mess over there.
Devil's advocate here. Where is the line? In an extreme example, ADHD is a mental condition so maybe they shouldn't have guns?
In a more nuanced example, what about the trans community? Some say it's mental disorder, some don't. So should they or should they not have any firearms. Highest cause of gun death is actually suicide and trans community has high rate of suicide.
The point I'm making is, I think we can agree some extreme examples are very easy to distinguish. But it is a very slippery slope where people's rights could be taken away without proper due process. Basically, at the mercy of the current administration's opinions rather than the actual facts of the situation.
I just love how it made so much noise but hardly went anywhere.
Someone else in the comment section somewhere gave some links that I can go over relating specifically to what you're saying.
I'm taking a look over them to help form an opinion. Haven't look at enough to really say any more on the matter yet. Although, I really don't think that some of the concerns brought up on the other side is completely off-base either.
