I just got an LG G Watch today. I picked it up since it was cheap, so I'm not super invested in it. It's a neat toy though.

Serious / Re: Getting angry about oil spills
« on: June 11, 2015, 08:56:03 PM »
the problem with the infrequent and unusual oil spills is that it's never just a little spill where someone is held accountable and it's relatively inconsequential to the surrounding environment. It's always big fucking spills that kill tons of animals and ruin their habitats. It's also angering that we can't simply clean it up and undo the damage. You can try to contain it and get most of it cleaned up, but you can never get it 100% out. And the companies responsible for it are so fucking wealthy that any monetary recourse is of relative unimportance to them in comparison to their yearly profit.

that's why it's angering.

I think I saw a report somewhere that said something about G7 leaders agreeing to faze out fossil fuel use by 2100.

Unless batteries magically increase in efficiency by a hundredfold, it's not going to happen.
battery tech wont get better until we literally run out of oil.

Do you have a program that can do all the stat dumping?  If that's the case, all you need to do is set up a scheduled task (assuming you're running Windows).
Yes running windows, but no idea where to even begin with what program to use. right now it's just in my router's settings, there's a statistics page.

Not at all. You're pretty much asking for it when you become a TG.
One does not simply become a transgender...
Uh, yeah you do, when you change your sex.
Except that's not what fucking transgender is. Being transgender is when your gender doesn't match your biological sex. You don't choose to be transgender. You just...are. Even once you complete transitioning, you're still transgender.

I don't even know what to start googling.

I want to dump the network usage statistics log from my router to a csv file every night at 11:59:59. How would I go about this?

I can't help what I do and don't find repulsive.
neither can i

i can't say i find transfolk to be repulsive, but i do find some certain parts of the LGBT community to be a little too out there for my normative cisgendered brain to handle, so i have the gut reaction of, "ew, gross"

but i'm not a bigot about it
According to MM, you're a bigot if you find them gross
You're a bigot if you find it gross and can't seem to keep it to your fucking self. I don't think you understand that you shitty points of view aren't inconsequential to the people effected by them.

I'm really not. Crossdressing is just as bad, though. Egh.
"i think it's gross, therefore it's bad"

i find cross-dressing kind of gross and weird, too
it's just not my thing

why you gotta be a bigot about it though
A bigot would say "I don't like it, so you're not allowed to do it."

I've never said, once, that people shouldn't be allowed to do this bullshit. Just that it's moronic and disgusting.
You'll allow them to do it, but you'll berate them every step of the way? That's bigotry.

But you don't fucking know what work someone has or has not had. Do you check everyone's medical history that you meet on the street?
If a tranny is walking down the street, and you can't tell that he's one, then you need to get your eyes checked.
I think you're confusing transgender with a burly, hairy crossdresser.

No one gives a fuck who you'd want to have sex with.
Unfortunately, roughly half our country cares who you have sex with.

This still doesn't mean that we should treat transgender people like shit. It would be a shitty thing to say "I don't want to be within 500ft of him because he has polio", what makes gender dysmorphia any different?
The sight of people with polio doesn't induce vomiting
Why do people with Gender Dysmorphia make you vomit?

Gender Dysmorphia is a subset of Body Dysmorphic Disorder; something like thinking you have an ugly nose, or are fatter than you are. Do all people who undergo "corrective" (SRS, plastic surgery) induce vomiting in you?
Are you really comparing someone who changed their entire gender to someone who got a nose job?
But you don't fucking know what work someone has or has not had. Do you check everyone's medical history that you meet on the street?

itt: people use accurate words to refer to transgender people.
pretty much
I'll never understand why people purposefully use distasteful language just to anger people.
For the same reason I say "black" instead of "African-American". One's the actual word, and the other is the politically-correct, peppered up buzzword that you have to say or you're terrible.
But black isn't distasteful of even politically incorrect. If you said "porch monkeys" or "apes", yeah, that'd be shitty. Not all black people are african-american.

If you find yourself having a physical reaction to the sight of a human being who hasn't been blown to smithereens, I think it says more about you than anyone else.

dude's just an idiot who does not understand transgenderism, nor does he want to take the time to even begin to try to understand it, much less empathize with those effected by it.
But can you at not least consider the possibility that transgenderism may just be psychological?
the fact that your hormones are all screwy and your brain chemistry is different in transgenders would indicate it isn't just psychological.
Isn't mental illness basically just brain chemistry?

But idk. I remain ambivalent about the whole transgender issue so I don't completely agree with the guy, just like I don't completely agree with the idea that it's a new civil rights movement. To be honest, I don't think we even know what it is yet.
To some extent it is, but it's not completely reducible to it.
It very often plays a role but varies between illnesses and even within them.

Depression is a good model because you have the Serotonin/Dopamine/Melatonin balances to contrast with the cognitive aspects of it. You can very rarely treat it with one or the other, serious depression that is as opposed to mild depression. If you just chuck prozac at someone it's not going to teach them how to manage the condition so you end up with little overall improvement and frequent relapses.

Then you have personality disorders and the like, some of which are strongly psychological and some are closer to biological. It's a bit of clusterfuck really >.>

Something like Schizophrenia though, that has a pretty strong bio-chem-neuro-genetic basis and is rarely* something that would just spontaneously appear in an otherwise healthy individual and when it does appear you'd be looking at family history pretty much as soon as it's being diagnosed.

*I'd say never but you never say never.

Short answer: No, it's not <.<
So what do you think of Paul McHugh, the ex psychiatric professor at John Hopkins university, the leading university for transgender surgery, coming out and claiming that transgenderism is a mental illness?
