Its frustrating when people make baseless and transphobic insinuations that trans people are mentally ill, as NightingaleMD did.

Unfortunately there are actual people working in healthcare who hold those kind of stubbornly bigoted beliefs, are not educated or trained properly, and fail to provide an adequate level of care for some of their more vulnerable patients.

Weve had to fight back against this level of misinformation and willful ignorance for many years.

The insurance company he put up to cover the $175 million bond does not have the money to cover the bond, with only about $136 million some odd in reserves.

Additionally, theyre not allowed to cover individual claims that exceed 10% of their reserves, so the largest insurance payout they could cover is ~$13.6 million.

The money / company is also tied to some Cayman Islands account.

Trump essentially put up a worthless I.O.U. to cover the appeal bond and will almost certainly get rejected by the court

be careful and stay safe

Our existence is not controversial, thats just cishet normative bigotry rearing its ugly transphobic face

I've noticed something really interesting about the people who use that word term a lot.

Mans about to lose his freedom of speech

Thats appeal to authority in action

Gender dysphoria is not a mystery btw, you seem to be treating it like some disease that causes people to be trans, and have it all backwards, like gender dysphoria is the origin of trans people and you want to know the origin of that.

You used it specifically in the context of not voicing support for gender affirming care, dude. Now youre being disingenuous.

False dichotomy as well, where current evidenced based guidelines are followed to provide gender affirming care while regularly doing research to improve that care.

We can provide healthcare to people based on what we know is ethical and good standards of care while working to improve it. Its not controversial like you tried to make it seem or a new thing.

I wonder if he also needs to know more about the etiology of being gay

but its not a disease to be trans (or gay), nor do you need gender dysphoria to be trans. Cisgender people can also experience gender dysphoria, famously documented in the horrible case of David Reimer

Well thats a lot of words where no would suffice.

None, I rarely drink

Its a pretty straight forward question that you can answer without hesitation.

I don't understand this logic. I truly don't. Whether you like me or not, I'm an expert. I'm board certified in emegency medicine. I'm a medical director of a national insurance company. I am an expert of managed care (medicaid/medicare policy).

Again you might not like me, but there can't possibly be a person here that understands how healthcare works better than I do.

You just don't like my answers. I didn't make a system that incentivizes profit. I just work in it. Pays the bills.

I'll not engage in debate, but I will ask you to Google the dunning-kruger effect. Confidence is very high when knowledge is very low. That's the reason half my patients would tell me I'm wrong or explain some made up medicine to me works better than antibiotics.

Hell. I've only been doing this for less than a year in my current role and some of the bureaucracy is still overwhelming (and i think InterQual was made to punish). So how you know more than me is mysterious.

Do you support gender affirming care for trans children?

When this other man was having sex with her, did he know about you? Is there any potential for pregnancy or needing to prepare for paternity? This stuff can come back up months later.

Certainly a delusional belief, which happens to be shared by people like jk fucking rowling

At least the TC had the decency to dip on their own topic, this wasn't going anywhere good.

True.

the topic doesnt really work for circumcision with reverse of escalation but it definitely fits with conservative ignorance surrounding gender affirming care

Ive encountered a fair number of users on these forum even who actually believed young children were getting surgery to be trans, its really embarrassing but they actually believe that stuff

honestly probably wont not a fan of horror movies

Ah well in that case the theme of the film is about forgiveness

i understand different genres for different people and respect that

I wouldnt really call it a horror film personally, more of a dark suspense / thriller drama tbh but there are some moments meant to be scary so technically it can be considered horror genre.

@gamepimp12

Watch that movie though for real

I dont want to give out spoilers but its relevant

You had mentioned early 20s and mid/late 30s at some point, I dont know your ages and even said so in my original post

Guide posted...

The approximation, to the best of our knowledge, based on information that you know is bad, is something you can easily call "making it up".

I never said I knew the information was bad. Youre really grasping for straws here bud.

Guide posted...

Sure, but then if the information is inconsistent, how would your approximation based on his inconsistent info be any different from making it up?

I have no idea what point youre trying to make here, its approximation to the best of our knowledge as opposed to just making something out of whole cloth, which was the implication. Like why are you making shit up? And then it was explained I did not make it up, further corroborated by the TC no less.

Youre making a distinction without a difference in a highly transphobic context, or as you said earlier cultural differences.

gamepimp12 posted...

I dont get why its relevant for me.

Have you seen it already?

Don't sleep on that film suggestion

You can thank me later =)

You need to watch A Dark Song (2016)

I think it might help

Great place for a snake to find a new home

The only people who possibly stand to benefit from stifling political discussion are monied interests, particularly conservatives.

It has nothing to do with making this place better or improved

I hate that my existence has to be so much of a political statement to some people. It rubs salt in the wound caused by my family's disapproval of my lifestyle.

Coming out here was a great way of relieving stress and I don't want to keep these emotions buried inside me.

Yeah, this definitely falls in a weird spot.

I agree. This reeks of the don't ask don't tell mentality, and not talking about things is not the correct answer. Discourse is the only way to communicate. What needed to happen is that trolls should have been better handled.

Or the tou should have been maintained better with no pretending that the questions are innocent when you can see posting habits.

Absolutely we should be able to talk about this stuff, nor should my very existence on boards outside of CE be a moddable offense.

The problem is these new crackdowns on politics are trickling down from the top, where it has been made known fandom is owned by a right wing hedge fund out of Texas.

How much did your lawyer quote to sue her? $250 / hour?

You could try to pop the question and see what she says

you miss 100% of shots you don't take

Single does not mean you are chaste, you need to ask about those things for that information.

How many sexual partners have you had in the past few months, when was the last time you got tested for sexually transmitted disease

This is for your health and protection

You keep saying she lied to you, but the way you described it was a breakdown of communication rather than lying.

This is stuff you learn as you get older and start to get actual relationship experience and dating experience.

If youre going to just accuse every girl you meet of lying about being single as a relationship status because she went on other dates, its going to be a disaster for you mate

What does "SMIB" stand for again?

Socialmediaisbroken was one of their user names, they got banned on 261 so we abbreviate their name

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Like i said earlier, if someone has an opinion on healthcare that they believe will get them purged, theres something wrong with the opinion.

Such a massive red flag! Right! Like none of us have that problem

this is a real gem:
NightingaleMD posted...

I miss free speech

The same clowns who say this stuff like SMIB, thoughtcrimes, banner party for 1, they all have the exact same message.

And every single time the reason behind it is bigotry, misinformation, or other harmful content.

Your posts are not being deleted and your accounts are not being suspended just because you have unpopular opinions or the mods dislike you as a person. You are not an oppressed victim here with your free speech under attack. Get over yourself and reevaluate your beliefs and why they are not acceptable in polite society.

I'm open to hearing your thoughts on this and what you mean by "an honest look at Healthcare", especially if you are a physician. You could PM me if you'd like.

Fairly certain that person has opposed gender affirming care in the past, or some such other similar right wing conservative nonsense. Ive had them tagged for a long time

I see republicans continue to have zero personal accountability and want to misrepresent the truth of their political party.

Its sad, like your party does some fucked up stuff to people , real people suffering horribly, and all you can think about is your own image and how it upsets you to look like the bad guy for voting for this shit.

fuck all the way off, disingenuous bad faith posters who cant take personal responsibility for their political support. Fucking own that shit

Its using torture and violation of women as clickbait sensationalism about hamas and Israel

highly inappropriate and offensive

shame on whoever is profit off that ad

Jiek_Fafn consistently posts gold

Always read his posts, you wont be disappointed

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I didnt make it up, TC was previously vague about the age gap and provided such approximations in the past. This isnt the first or even second topic about this theyve made

Edit - He even provided inconsistent and contradictory information about the age gap in this topic too

Eh thats not lying. You can be single and still dating other people, thats why you communicate. Are you dating or seeing anyone, when was the last time you slept with someone or had a relationship, etc.

what is your favorite performance car? i like vettes and stuff

I bet that is fun to drive. Honda/Acura has always been my favorite for what I can get for myself, balancing a practical city car and fun to drive with a good quality manual transmission

If I could afford to collect cars and/or not need 4 doors, I would love all sorts I imagine

Driving is a big passion of mine, I dont do much under the hood as a hobby though for custom tuning

Smallville posted...

type s integra is still rwd right? iirc the type r is the fastest fwd car ever something like that

Its FWD, same engine as the type R with a different tune. The car is slightly heavier, no sunroof, leather seats are kinda fancy.

You can find some car review articles

RWD coupes you get into Toyota GR86 / Subaru BRZ, Toyota Supra, Nissan Z, corvette, mustang, challenger, camaro, chargers maybe

Smallville posted...

what are comparable though, performance wise? i'm drawing a blank . Do you like like corvettes and mustangs?

I would compare it to other 4 door cars like the VW GTI, Toyota GR Corolla GTS, Hyundai, also the Acura Integra Type S is very similar to the Type R

corvettes and mustang is getting into RWD coupes, very different in comparison. Im not the most knowledge about the best models/years for those cars but some are better than others

Smallville posted...

you think way overpriced? you get a lot of performance for that much. Any similar priced car perform as well?

If you want one and can afford one, and it suits your needs, its a great car to own.

There are comparable cars from Toyota, VW, Hyundai, but Honda is my personal favorite by a long stretch

The MSRP is already way over priced, but then dealers take that and slap on another 10k, 15k, even $20k markups over the MSRP

Its absolutely insane.
