Gaming / Re: lol battlefront
« on: June 12, 2015, 07:34:57 AM »
So umm, why do people only care when it's battlefront? Nobody seems to give a shit when this kind of stuff is done for pre-orders in stuff like COD, Battlefield, and Destiny.

Unlocking 3 weapons early and a couple emotes is nothing to get worked up over honestly.
The difference being that COD has been shit post MW2 and Moneyvision was almost guaranteed to fuck up Destiny.

I suppose Battlefield is a legitimate point, but it was only a matter of time before EA started shilling it out.

Nah I don't think so.

Not because I believe in the whole "stare into the dark and the dark stares back" bullshit, but more often than not, the bureaucratic process to even try and get someone convicted for death row is so astronomically expensive you're better off just locking them up and rehabilitating them if possible.

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.

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?

This community is literally cancer, and it's gonna keep on stagnating forever. It's already a circlejerk as it is. If it wasn't so shitty, then people wouldn't be getting banned so often.

I don't know. First we need to talk about the higher death of whites caused by law enforcement before we go on to talk about "police brutality" against African Americans.

Isn't homosexuality psychological? Lol
What I'm trying to say is we should be skeptical of what transgenderism could potentially inflict on individuals.
lol wouldn't it inflict sex changes? What's the big deal if someone wants to change their body? People get surgery/body mods all the time. I mean yeah it's a little weird but I don't really think it should be banned or anything.
I never advocated for gender surgery to be banned. If individuals want to have their cock sliced off without the use of tax dollars and the state, more power to them.

I just don't think we should be actively encouraging it.

I don't know. We've yet to discover a gay gene, so it could very well be psychological.

What I'm trying to say is we should be skeptical of what transgenderism could potentially inflict on individuals. You can't arbitrarily declare it "something your born with" anymore than you can declare it a mental illness.

-Government is necessary, but often does more bad than good in the economic sphere
-Feminism has gone off the fucking rails in western society
-Mentally challenged or disabled people should be able to be aborted if there was a technology that allowed parents to be informed of the possibility that their offspring may be inflicted with such conditions
-I'm not sure if transgenderism should be bracketed in with the LGBT movement
-There is such a thing as black culture that influences black people to commit crime, and should be tackled such as Islam should be tackled
-There shouldn't be a minimum wage
-Businesses should be allowed to discriminate whoever they like
-The NHS is in need of a serious reformation

i just don't like the way he talks

he's trying to tell us "what's what," and it's fucking insufferable as fuck
Like I said, I'm not in complete agreement with his arguments.

But I do think his talking points towards the issue of transgenderism is a healthy dose of skepticism we should all take into consideration.

I'm not sure who this guy is, but he's basically equating transgenderism with playing dress-up. I think it goes a bit deeper than that, psychologically, but I don't think I could possibly care less about the Kardashian and Jenner families.
I'm not in entire agreement about transgenderism being a mental illness, but I do reconcile with his points about the Caitlyn Jenner situation being blown way out of proportion.

Like a dude wants to become a chick. Who fucking cares?
