Gonna get a lot of hate for this but if it’s just a laptop then you’ll have a lot more benefit to journalists/activists if you do a tor exit node. Or tor relay node. Or just an i2p node.

Have conservatives explained the nuclear weapon secrets in his bathroom yet? Or is the defense “It wasn’t decided in a court of law so it’s just hearsay”

TLDR: One is identifying as a different gender, one is identifying with a different animal.

It’s in the same paragraph you quoted:

First, reports of this phenomenon (called therians) is greatly exaggerated. They are often conflated with other groups (like furries). This is pretty clearly a social and psychological phenomenon, not a neurological trait, and having nothing to do with a system of neurological development (influenced by hormones, for example).

To the best of our knowledge, hormones don’t influence the animals you like or identify with.

From another source: https://theconversation.com/what-are-furries-debunking-myths-about-kids-identifying-as-animals-and-litter-boxes-in-schools-193908

Furries don’t identify as animals; they identify with animals. In the same way that cosplayers typically don’t believe they are actually Spiderman, furries don’t think they are their fursonas.

Is furry an orientation? It’s not. It’s a fandom. However, it’s worth noting there are many marginalized statuses within the furry community. Depending on the study, we find more than 70 per cent of furries identify as LGBTQ+ and more than 25 per cent are gender-identity diverse.

Stop weather data collection in one part of the planet. That’ll stop the global warming believers. /s

Crops grow faster if you decree the weather is perfect. The best weather.

No longer letting my family member rants about [insert today’s Russian propaganda] go unchallenged.

• Crime is going up. Oh no, can you show me a chart with a source? Can’t be just something you find on the internet (they’re always ranting that you can’t trust the internet).
• You can’t trust the weather reports. They’re just using the internet to make all that stuff up. Explain how the internet allows for a 100 fold increase in sensors that can report back to a centralized meteorology facility for number crunching
• Ukraine shot first Explain a timeline of the Ukraine war
• Moon landing was faked. (I actually like this argument the best because it’s been so thoroughly debunked)

The religious fruitcakes will never get the hint that their god is trying to tell them something.

No legislation being able to pass because every side is arguing that their bill version is what god wants. Economy remains stable because it’s all Biden-Harris recovery policies. Trump wins again because “look how good the economy is!”.

• High level government employees got vaccines from richer countries
• Rich people got their names added to the high level employees list
• Social distancing and telling everybody “good luck”
• Third world situations tend to weed out immuno-compromised humans fairly efficiently. So long as the higher humans survive, command and control below management level typically has 2-3 backup employees ready to take the chair.

First past the post voting is the cheapest and fastest use of taxpayer dollars. Must we overburden our poorest districts with purchasing requirements for fancy smancy vote counting machines? /s
