Um, maybe I'm missing something but following a guy home in your car and parking up outside his driveway then approaching him doesn't exactly scream 'this person has good, safe intentions'. From the sounds of it he probably didn't need to get shot but even so, I thought 'Get off my lawn' was reasonable grounds in murika.
Florida's got pretty broad Stand Your Ground laws, yeah, but I can't say I'm really familiar with anything but my own state's doctrine.
But still, in a case like this, it just reeks of someone not being responsible and just doing something because they can rather than asking if they should. You're gonna kill a guy over some road rage? That's some serious shit, man. Go inside your house, if he follows or breaks in, then yes, consider him a dangerous threat and neutralize said threat with force.
Yeah it certainly was flat out retarded, it would have depended a little on the situation but I mean I could see how you'd be in defence mode if someone was following you home and then tries to accost you on your own property <.< and don't fucking hold his family at the scene at gunpoint until the police arrive.
aaand I missed that part on the article <_< Christ what a nutcase.

(misplaced the links sadly) How convenient.
Currently out and on mobile, but that is a common misunderstanding I'll debunk for you later.
What do you mean?
I think he's referring to door's point <.<

I can play the piano, although it's pretty rough because I literally never practice.
I won't play if there are other people in the same building, so with a large family you can imagine how infrequently the house is empty. Bit of a shame and I never bothered to properly study the sheet music, I was at one point but gave up because I'd never be practicing anyway.
It also didn't help when I learned that the two types of piano sound notably different and the things I wanted to play sound 10x better on a grand as opposed to a standing piano <_<
I also wasted about two years 'learning' to play the saxophone, but that was literally just to get out of maths lessons. When I was also 'learning' to play the drums several years earlier it was for the same reason <_____<

You know that is in response to the yanks saying they could wipe out the iranian army right?
It's just the return fire in a pissing contest.
But when we said that it was completely true......
Well naturally, but it's still a pissing contest so to cry when the other player urinates back at the USA would be just as silly as the whole thing in the first place.

First point - Try to clean it up in here, you can hold the discussion without flaming each other.
Second (relating to the discussion itself)
It's a disorder rather than a disease, because it's an intrinsic issue that the person has rather than an externally afflicted one. So a cure in the traditional sense is unlikely to ever exist, you can't cure autism for example. You can find ways to treat it and mitigate the symptoms though, to lessen the suffering the person has as a result of the condition and helping them to live a happier/successful life.
If someone is dysphoric and it isn't a temporary mindset, they've been seeing a therapist for a length of time with no notable headway in either direction and they are on the whole unhappy with their life as a male/female, then the remaining options for treatment dwindle down to reassignment.
At the present that is the only alternative treatment and for some people it can work well and they do go on to live a happier life, for others it isn't as successful but that can be down to other comorbid problems rather than just because it flat out doesn't work.
The appalling suicide rates I believe are down to the social issues and comorbid disorders rather than an inherent problem with the dysphoria. The best way to compare that is to look across cultures at how transgenderism is treated, damn near universally it is reviled and stigmatised but in the places that it isn't (somewhere in polynesia iirc was the example) whodathunkit that they live happy lives and don't end up just flat out killing themselves.
So who knows, one day we might find a magic pill cure for it which switches the mind to suit the body without any of the issues that past attempts to do this have had. Until then, the mind is the more valuable half of a human. The fleshy vessel that houses it is secondary to that person's existence. Cosmetic changes to it that make the mind happier shouldn't be an issue to anyone other than the person having those changes, but given that humans are the nosiest creatures on the planet when it comes to shoving their interests into other people's shit it's hardly all that surprising.
I never understood why trans people had to go to a therapist before treatment even before informed consent was available. I mean, if someone is unsure and needs counseling, then it makes sense, but it just seems like an unnessisary roadblock for people who don't want/need therapy.
Since you're an almost-psychologist, can you explain?
It's my understanding that it comes down to being a safeguard to make sure that people don't undergo an irreversible form of surgery/change without it being established beforehand that it is the best course of action. For those who simply want to change, they aren't unsure and are otherwise psychologically healthy I imagine it would be more of a formality than a specific 'You must have treatment before we let you have surgery' type of deal <.< If you can imagine the situation where someone who thought they were sure underwent the reassignment and then a year or so later realised it wasn't what they really wanted, and a psych/therapist could have picked up on that... it'd be a pretty unpleasant predicament for them to find themselves in.

i probably went in a little too hard, but fuck that pissed me off
Yeah I mean a year or two ago I'd probably have gone in with the same vigour because it really did/kinda still does rustle my jimjams but nowadays I'd rather just point out to people how flawed that attitude is when approaching mental illness.

I thought I had until thursday before my number was up, but apparently Amazon wants me to hurry up and shuffle off this mortal coil already. Now I face the dilemma of whether I watch the 9th run online for consistency's sake or if I just watch it on bluray twice.

Spoiler By far the best one is where Geralt gets fucking wasted with the other witchers at Kaer Morhn. That part where they all wear Yennefer's clothes kills me.
I uhh, didn't let the 'fun' progress that far <_< Although the bit with a certain elderly person's head garments was amusing >_> For me it's when you are having a very serious conversation with the bloody baron and Spoiler Uma bursts through the door shrieking and jabbering UMAUMAUMAUMAUAUAAMUAUAUMAMUAAMMAMU and the sarge charges in after him, that had me in stitches because of how horribly timed the humour was
IIRC the baron is talking about battering someone into a pulp for cuckolding him and then uma runs in >___>

I wish the Gwent quests were in their own section so they don't clutter up my quest log
I've completed all of them now, still haven't got enough cards to make a deck other than the Northern Realms which is kind of annoying.
I haven't played Gwent besides the tutorial guy in White Orchard.
I skipped that guy lol, I just randomly decided to give it a go and I really quite enjoy it. It's a pity that you can't win more cards from general merchants because so far my decks all consist of nothing but the special character ones which are great and all but pretty boring.
you can buy cards from merchants, you know?
Yeah I just have shit luck finding any that sell them <.<

Russkie one for sure, if that hadn't happened the commies wouldn't have gotten into power and killed a hundred million people through incompetence and pogroms.
Let alone the space race, cold war tech developments and on the flipside being the beartrap that hitler put his goosestepping boot into which cost him WW2.
