When it's the same fault zone or the same tectonic plate, yes. Between Alaska and Africa are at least a few fault zones and tectonic plates. It wasn't originally believed that the energy could be transferred that far
i mean, is it not also possible they just happened to be at the same time and are unrelated?
These black kids were getting into elite colleges from falsified documents and with no prep from their school. Some were a few grades behind in learning.
They ruined these kids.
I found how how trump is racist: by claiming to support this industry https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/11/tesla-has-a-problem-with-racism-in-its-factory-so-do-many-of-its-rivals/
Fuckin racist robots
it was talking about the actual workers
Oh look, a Musk hit peice.
actually looks more like using tesla for clicks to point out that the whole industry is racist apparently
maybe he has a short position on TSLA
Ui, that's a hot take on Acosta!
In short: "he did it on 5th amendment grounds, they didn't give him fair process"....
*A fair process would be to ARREST JIM ACOSTA for comitting two crimes in the presence of the president*.
George H. W. Bush died.
but still 🇫
Rip Bush 1
He seemed groovy personally even if will never forgive the read my lips thing.
*I thought he had already died*
Highlight from Arch-fiend's video: As Lara Loomer was handcuffed to Twitter HQ, Twitter released a statement the same day saying how ISPs shouldn't discriminate traffic. Rather hypocritical, do you think?
How about...Net Neutrality for Twitter?

I'm not going to get involved in debating this particular case because I don't have nearly enough information, but I do want to dispel the hyperbole regarding what happens then this child reached 8yo. Chemical "castration" or more accurately "puberty delay" will not be medically indicated nor initiated by any rational pediatric endocrinologist until the child achieves Tanner State 2 puberty, which in a biological male is the appearance of underarm hair. This generally starts around 12 years old, not 8. Until the onset of puberty, there's no point to puberty delay. In regards to medical intervention, there are almost certainly more than two years to sort this out.
Insofar as permanent, surgical intervention, that will not happen through any US provider until the child achieves legal majority. Gender confirming surgeries need the consent of the individual undergoing them.
Insofar as the safety of puberty delay, this is a therapy modality which has been used for decades in a condition called "precocious puberty". The use of pituitary influencing medications to stop the signals for puberty until the "normal" time for it is achieved. Well, in the past before high protein diets and estrogenic compounds in our environment, puberty was more normal in the 14-16yo range rather than the 11-13 range as it is now.
Think of the Latin "quinceniera" for an idea of when puberty was historically "normal"
By applying puberty delaying therapies we are only delaying development until what is historically a quite reasonable age. At 14-16yo a youth can then make the decision whether to start hormones to initiate gender confirming therapy, continue the blockade to get more time to decide, or enter natural puberty. As a provider I would never support initiating "permanent" changes like hormones until at least 12 years of age, and then only if there are multiple providers supporting the diagnosis and the gender affirmation has been consistent for the youth for several years.
As far as youthful transition being some kind of death sentence, I put forth an anecdote.
Kim socially transitioned at 6yo, started hormones at 12yo, and had surgery at 16yo which is the age of majority in her native Germany. She's now a pop star living in LA.
I agree with the article I began with. Making a mistake with this is horrific for the future of the youth. But that horror goes both ways. Denying a truly transgender youth the right puberty from the start, when they've made their feelings known since childhood, it terrible. On the flip side, forcing the wrong gender on a child is also nightmare fuel. Any rational transperson, and I'll admit they seem to be in short supply these days, will be just as furious at attempts to force trans on a cis person as they will be at cis being forced on trans. It is my experience that gender identity is inherent and you can't force it either way.
I also agree that a lot of kids can be very confused by the concept and nothing permanent should be done until they can make a more mature decision. If there is any uncertainty at all, just keep delaying until more confidence can be achieved.
