 @58db300d So your claim now is that this has only been diagnosed "virtually".

That's even more strange. Seems like you're being entirely disingenuous. 
 @58db300d And dysphoria != "fluid".

Another bizarre leap.

Seems dishonest. 
 Nobel Prize lost any hope of credibility after Obama.

They matter less than the Academy Awards. 
 @64e56151 So the "it's not for you and that's OK" doesn't apply to certain things. Gotcha. 
 @58db300d That's nice. Not sure why you're lumping in legitimate, rare, gender dysphoria with the "trans" of the "trans movement".

First, those with true dysphoria are typically resentful of the current "movement", as it takes away resources and makes a mockery of their situation.

Odd that you don't know this.

Second, you countered mental illness with mental illness. So, kudos on that weird cognitive dissonance. 
 @71174f90 He clearly knew what he was doing. 

But it's irrelevant. They could say literally anything. It's a power flex.

They know 2+2=4. But denying it is kicking sand on the opposition.

 @4020de15 Mental health docs are available. 
 I've been around long enough to know that technologies that will "change everything" usually don't. 
 @5b5f86c2 Written word, math,  printing press, scientific method, assembly line, computers, satellites, cell phones.

Yep. Had almost no impact. 
 @f47c4255 Totally correct. Though bear were eventually able to open even properly secured bear canisters. Bears are more clever than we give credit when food is the reward.

 @7bf8a2db You're welcome. 
 @7bf8a2db With that in mind, I did one more search. Best I found was https://www.linuxcertified.com/linux_laptops.html

The 400 series is listed as offering AMD, and they'll pre-install Fedora. 
 @e8df75ff Oh yeah, I don't know why I thought it was Vermont. 
 nostr:npub1vudut6wtvlanssmfvn82t0633m39r4jykke2hee66ea3mvvrgxusk9460v Where do you live? 
 @e8df75ff Doesn't matter much. I'm anchored here for the foreseeable future. But I'm within a day's drive from Vermont.

 @e8df75ff I've fantasized such a place may exist. I find no reason to believe it true. 
 yes, a BLM flag flying trans pastor having "church" is not in any way Christian. 
 @Sick Burn, Bro Right, and that's not a recent development. Come on, get real.

 @491a9739 Way beyond my pay grade. And we can't even get people to stop injecting poison RNA into children. Resolving this is a long way off. 
 @491a9739 Yeah, I'm forced to concede that I was wrong with this.

Stew Peters is still a joke. 
 @22bfc789 Nope. Stops can go very wrong very quickly. This LEO is doing nothing wrong.

 Well look at that. West Nile has come to town. 
 @491a9739 Stew Peters is on par with Fauci in terms of believability. 
 @56818a9a So now it'll be "we were mislead by Fauci, and the kind democratic party were sincerely looking out for America's best interests".
