    The acting and the FX might be dated, but the series and the topics are not, the old series still has its value and it's worth a (re) watch.

    It wasn't the greatest thing ever, but it was a gateway to a reboot, it was a nicely done nostalgia-fest and it did a lot of stuff right. Was the animation a bit cheap? Yes. Was the story a bit thin? Yes. Would I still watch it and buy the blue ray? Of course!

    And it's still way better than a lot of stuff movie studios wanted to stuff down my throat in the past years.

  • What is your most controversial opinion?

    Science does believe that a perceived gender develops in a child's brain, but as far as I know, its unclear when or how it develops. It could be before birth, or years after.

    No, science does not believe that. Sociologists with questionable record regarding the validity of their studies believe that, however they do completed forget that humans are not isolated and decoupled from animals.

    Males and females are vastly different and there's nothing constructed about this.

    What science does know is that if your perceived gender is incongruent with your sex, it can cause gender dysphoria.

    Science does not know this. It's a mainstream belief now but not backed up by good data. All we know is that transition does not remediate high suicide rates, despite greater societal acceptance of transgender in general. Some studies even show higher suicide rates after transition, however the datasets are too small and the studies are all biased on way or another. We don't know!

    The way to treat it is to transition to your perceived gender.

    That's one hypothesis. The other one is not to treat it and just wait because a good number of those affected by gender dysphoria turn out to be just gay and very unsure about their sexual orientation. Again: We don't know because data is insufficient.

    Based on an unproven hypothesis you want people to transition despite this potentially having devastating results? I would be less sure about this, I have doubts.

    Wow there's so much wrong with this:

    The concept of a digital data processing machine was made by Charles Babbage, a mathematician from England.

    The first phone was constructed by Italian engineer and inventor Antonio Meucci, Bell just got the patent for something that was being "invented" in several forms in previous years.

    Karl Benz from Germany invented the automobile but it was already Leonardo Da Vinci who conceived the idea of mechanical vehicles. The French Nicolas Cugnot built the first steam propelled tractor/car in 1769.

    The moon might be yours but only because the USA confiscated all the German knowledge about rockets and took the engineers like Wernher von Braun

    If the US eliminated starvation is something I can't deny nor confirm but you certainly invented the largest drug abuse crisis (opioids and derivatives) in the history of mankind. Oh and mass imprisonment is also an achievement that probably challenges China or North Korea.

    Not sure about the progress aspect there, I have doubts. But one thing I know for sure: The US needs better education, it's horrible how wrong you were.

    That hasn't worked for North America, it's not working in the EU and if I look at South America... no I won't.

    So what's the alternative then? Representative democracies devolve into shit shows given sufficient amount of time. Dictatorships are horrible, council-led states (Sowjet) don't work either... So what's left?

    Anarchy doesn't work either...

    I intentionally wrote: representative democracies. I'm not aware of any ongoing implementation of complete direct democracy, not even in Switzerland so I can't tell for those.

    I'm not sure about that. People are conflating sex and gender all the time and this looks even intentional to me just to create more confusion and potential for drama.

    If you check pre-millennial definition of gender you see that it was widely used synonymously. The distinction between sex and gender is just a form of newspeak.

    The current mainstream teaches that gender expression is constructed and gender typical roles are assigned at birth and by society during infancy. This is utter nonsense, has been debunked over and over again and is still based on John Moneys gender experiments with the Reimer twins.

  • Lately I see a lot of calls do have specific instances defederated for a particular subset of reasons: - Don't like their content - Dont like their political leaning - Dont like their free speech approach - General feeling of being offended - I want a safe space! - This instance if hurting vulnerable people I personally find each and every one of these arguments invalid. Everybody has the right to live in an echo chamber, but mandating it for everyone else is something that goes a bit too far. Has humanity really developed into a situation where words and thoughts are more hurtful than sticks and stones? Edit: Original context https://slrpnk.net/post/554148 Controversial topic, feel free to discuss!
