L stands for leap year, so that tracks.

How about family dynasties?

Wait, did somebody say Kennedy?

Ah, yes, the Athenian Method.

Just maybe don’t chew those ones.

They have a high alcohol diet?

Hey, man, don’t shit on my corsets and hats.

Biggest and just about onliest problem with nuclear fission is how expensive it is to set it up, both in terms of time and money.

Edit: typo

And I get that the business maybe “has” to be run that way, because of the way it exists in the economic system it exists in, but I’m definitely taking issue with the language he’s employed here. He’s not a prisoner being forced to run things this way.

Seriously. Everyone gets the luxury of not having to run a profitable growing business. You didn’t “have” to run that business at all.

Of the finished property, probably. A property with a giant, abandoned project on it isn’t worth nearly as much.

I mean, the US medical system is terrible in basically every way, but it’s nice to know it’s worse than everyone else in this particular way, too.

I expect there’s probably the “rich folks” version of your open asylums that are marketed like “mental health retreats” or something and cost as much as a house, but generally if you don’t have the luxury of shopping around reviews for the hospitals you’re staying at, you’d just wind up in a “closed” one here. And the person who needs to check in because otherwise they know they won’t eat for a week probably isn’t checking reviews.

The trouble is that there’s often not a difference in treatment between being involuntarily committed because you’ve demonstrated that danger and you checking yourself in because you can’t take care of yourself right now.

Also find out what consequences they expect a child being “fatherless” to bring, and compare that to what actually happens when a child has a healthy household without a father in it.

Oh and poor people. Definitely poor people.

Black people, gay people, trans people. You know, cool folks.

Tsk, tsk, this willow wants to get rid of THE definite article, but they’re too afraid to even say it.

It still happens, but I don’t believe it’s as common as it once was (per capita intersex person, which is also a very small number)

Um, ackshually, eunuchs are in the Bible, including Jesus saying that some people “become eunuchs” to get closer to God. So…

Trans surgical procedures have some of the best outcomes of any major procedures. they are performed on consenting individuals who are always well informed and at or very near adulthood, and only after many other interventions have been ongoing. People who receive these interventions show incredibly low rates of regret (compare for example the percent of people who regret knee replacements or probably circumcisions), and enjoy increased happiness and satisfaction by almost any metric.

Basically every major medical organization in the world (and certainly in America) agrees these interventions are medically useful and should be performed. While there are doctors who dissent, they are in the vast minority and almost never actually work with any trans people, but rather insist all the doctors who do work with trans people must be wrong. It’s not a controversy in the medical world, just the political one.

So, yeah. To paraphrase, “When reviewed by people without the same clear and obvious cultural bias, circumcision only conclusively provides an incredibly marginal benefit, with evidence lacking for other supposed (and still very marginal) benefits.”
