Price fixing is rare because you gain so much by defecting from the cartel.

Their father has a choice. He should act in a way that’s in his children’s best interests but if he thinks attacking Israel is more important, then the consequences will be his to live with.

I agree with you it would be better if he were simply killed, though; that’s certainly the position Israel takes on the matter.

Unfortunately choices have consequences

No one is saying that it will be deadly, always. What depriving a trans person from gender affirming care does is make them miserable, drive them towards unhealthy coping mechanism and raises suicidality.

But the care results in no reduction in suicidality.

The fascists have breached the social contract of tolerance with their disinformation campaign

I don’t think there was ever a “social contract” where we agreed that you couldn’t send things through the mail that weren’t socially determined to be “true”, but if we ever did, you’re violating the compact by describing gender reassignment treatment as “lifesaving” when the best evidence on the issue is that it’s neutral at best.

The idea that we have to tolerate intolerance is an incorrect resolution of the paradox.

But I’m saying we shouldn't tolerate intolerance. You’re the one saying we have to.

Wegovy might be covered if you’re just fat. You might also find a doctor willing to prescribe it on the basis of pre-diabetes, although it’ll be a long argument with your insurer.

But if you respond well to the drug it’s worth it. Trust me

Equally embarrassing? Doubtful.

Why does it have to be equally embarrassing? It just has to be embarrassing enough that they’d take steps to conceal it. Which they did. It doesn’t have to be the most embarrassing situation, just one of the ones that would spur them to act.

One is a market which can be blamed on illegal activity even after being shut down and 'little' people arrested.

But they did shut it down and they did arrest people and they even seized and incinerated every animal at the market without taking samples or even identifying and logging the species.

On the other hand they didn’t shut down WIV, or really do anything to it at all.

but the lab's proximity to the outbreak is incredibly suspect.

It’s 8km away, across a river.

Are all Palestinians Arabs?

When certain groups of people actually dorepeatedly act in certain ways more often than others do

But they don’t, and in any case that’s not “psychology.” That’s just you being a bigoted fucking asshole.

when its so commonplace to them that other people have to point out that they are behaving that way because they do not even realize it

Isn’t that literally the described experience of being autistic? Having your behavior pointed out to you and you didn’t even realize you were doing it? Constantly?

How about the people that actually do that regularly?

Is that something you think is true about neurotypical people? That we’re constantly “assaulting and murdering”?

How is this not you just being a giant gaping asshole? You can wrap it up in therapy terms if you want but surely you have to see how offensive this is?
