Yeah last I looked all gender affirming surgery performed on minors seems to be intersex born children who have both, or malformed, genitalia from it.
Yeah that was my first thought. With the mention of exploring the calm of balanced hormones comment especially. I would be willing to bet this is a cis woman using hormone therapy to help with a bad menopause.
Grok probably has some weird association with anime style girl figures and red pandas, so when it generated this image it threw them in.
bordering on being able to just call it pork belly. Personally I like some girth on the meat I put in my mouth. However you need to cook it properly so it is just crisp on the outside and just a bit soft, with buttery fatty portions, on the inside, cause a bit of chewy is good, but jerky doesn't work well on a sandwich.
Same, also after the internet, and social media. However a lot less people are compared to when I was a child.
"before tv was invented? Well we went out with other kids, where adults weren't around, and got into trouble. As we got older we started fucking, and drinking, and getting into more serious trouble."
Correct. Also getting to 6th grade is generally defined as the the language skills needed to read/write news, most novels, contracts, information pamphlets, etc. The use of specialized language, such as technical lexicons, is where you get into higher grade levels of reading. There isn't any universal standard as to what determines this, exactly. Many tests also work on being able to make sense of sentences that gradually become more, and more, obtuse. Their length, use of punctuation, tenses, and other technicalities, are increased until the person can no longer explain the sentence correctly. The problem with this is that it may be technically correct, but it is bad writing. If someone where to ace a test on some of this overly complex sentence structure, they would actually do worse for submitting it to a test of the skills on writing a sentence explaining something. So a lot of this lexical grading of reading level is nebulous, and results will vary from each person reviewing them, and exactly how they are performed.
The way they get that grade level reading comprehension is dubious. If you read the news, non-academic magazines, and most of the NYTs best seller list, you likely have been reading primarily around that level according to these tests.
Correct, but refusal to engage in small talk, banter, discussing your lives, and the occasional social outing, will have many see you as stand offish, asocial, and your refusal to do this basic community building stuff, as being rude.
public ownership with rents based on the costs of maintaining the properties properly
this only works if they stop them from being able to hold investments in companies, and markets, they pass laws for, as well as getting rid of political donations. If we don't do that their salary going down would only negatively affect the small number of congress members that want actual change to things.
