80% chance is going to be a crypto scam. 20% chance it's going to be a right wing cespool

Rose not listening to users is what killed he platform before, I seriously doubt he has gotten over that ego.

Nevermind the group who took credit, he's trying to drum up excuses to shut off Starlink in Ukraine.

it’s likely an extremely low percentage of users

its not, its actually a pretty high percentage, the conversion rate of pop up email form to static forms in the footer or header are like night and day. Static email sign up forms are lucky to see a 1% conversion. The average pop up conversion rate for emails pop up with incentive (like a discount code) in 2024 was 7%.

If people stopped filling out the pop up forms they would go away, but people still continue to bite so they live on.

I work in web dev and it kills me every time to set up this stupid UX.

Honestly, this biggest problem is these damn pop ups actually work for conversions. If people would stop filling the pop up forms on the sites they would fade to obscurity but for every annoyed dev who closes the pop up asking for an email, there is 10 normies who give up their email or create an account or complete a purchase.

Static email sign up forms in the header or footer of a site are lucky to see a 1% conversion. The average pop up conversion rate in 2024 was 11%.. The highest preforming pop ups in this analysis had a 43% conversion rate, that is INSANE for web conversions. And those stupid gamification spin the wheel pop ups that I personally hate the most, have a 13% conversion.

Cops are employed to protect rich people's property, nothing else.

Adults. I expect this number to skyrocket as gen A becomes adults. Considering they are the kids carrying bullet proof backpacks and doing active shooter drills in school.

Good thing we fired all those park rangers making minimum wage so we can pay for this

Still, Graugnard said he does not regret voting for Trump.

Gender-affirming care/medication more commonly given to cis people than it is given to trans people. Mostly because the trans* population is in reality very small, it just feels like there is more trans people than there really is because they are hated on so much and so loudly. The biggest problem that that most people don't recognize cis gender affirming care as "gender affirming", because the term is applied to heavily to trans* healthcare and not at all used for cis healthcare unless you are in a scientific setting. These types of experiments named here are in reality run for cis people, not trans, because hormones can effect so many things and its not very widely studied how they interact with many medications, like HIV medications.

Hormone therapy is used for a variety of reasons that are not necessarily gender dysphoria. Hormones have a HUGE effect on all aspects of your body and cis or trans* a hormone imbalance can be horrible.

Lots of cismen take testosterone as they get older because as they age their body does not generate as much as it did when they were younger. Insufficient levels of testosterone in men may lead to abnormalities including frailty, accumulation of adipose fat tissue within the body, anxiety and depression, sexual performance issues, and bone loss.

Conversely lots of ciswomen will take estrogen and progesterone to counter the effects of menopause, when their bodies start to produce less hormones. Lack of estrogen for women can lead to many of the menopause symptoms such as irritability, brain fog, hair loss, joint pain, weight gain, bone loss, hot flashes and cold sweats.

Many cancers are also hormone fed, most common would be hormone positive breast cancer. AFAB Breast cancer survivors cannot take estrogen or progesterone hormone therapy like most cis women can because it increases the chances of it feeding the tumor. Testing if they can take testosterone is still very new in the research process, considering they didn't start doing ANY hormone therapy research until after the turn of the century.

Other examples of cis gender affirming care is hair plugs, breast implants, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, any type of genital reconstruction, gynecomastia treatment for cismen, and so on...

TL:DR These experiments are for cis medical care, not trans. The only reason they were targeted is because of the phase"trans" and the phase "gender affirming".

If you think the current batch of democrats will do this even if they have control of congress, be ready for disappointment. The dem establishment is too busy trying to preserve the status quo to actually stand up for the right of the people.

I asked it a question about PETG settings for a 3d printer and it told me to RTFM, but way wordier
