"Jeff hasn't watched a surgical transition"

But I'll bet he has all kinds of made-up data PROVING negative outcomes. Data BHS doesn't even have!!!

"neovayjayjay"

GREAT band name!

"I will prioritize this over other social media and news cites."

If you're just coming back to lie some more, skip it.

"such studies found an overall rate of 1 percent for regret after surgery for both transmasculine and transfeminine surgeries. This echoes other large cohorts which have found that only a tiny proportion of the people who have these surgeries eventually report regretting the procedure."

So 99% positive.

But Bellringer claims more negative outcomes than positive ones.

So which is it? Is Bellringer lying, or does he not understand 99% is waaaaay more than "less than half".

"Translation: Got caught in the proverbial wringer and is bailing out."

I, for one, certainly don't expect him to show up tomorrow and admit he lied about Johnny getting his dong sliced off at 11, or the fact he lied about the stats of those involved, or was ignorant of the actual numbers of kids born with "odd parts", or lied about data showing more negative outcomes than positive outcomes.

Nor will he apologize for claiming no one has produced evidence parents were only designated "terrorists" AFTER making mortal threats to elected officials, which IS THE FUCKING TEXTBOOK DEFINITION of terrorism.

In fact, I guarantee he'll make the bogus claim AGAIN.

And then, be AGHAST at being called a liar once more.

"Discarding decades of data that shows that these procedures create more negative than positive."
~Bellringer.

Meanwhile, from someone who has actually done the research ...

"The data DHS is relying on to justify the proposed treatment bans does not attempt to answer that question. In fact, DHS does not even collect the patient-level data that would make answering it possible."
~Johnny Hotsauce

One of these two is lying.

Aw, look.

Bellringer, caught in YET ANOTHER lie.

Seems like a regular occurrence, doesn't it.

"Discarding decades of data that shows that these procedures create more negative than positive."

Jeez, ANOTHER LIE.

I'm done with you. Enjoy plonksville.

"You have never produced any material evidence to support your claim that parents were making death threats "

"And I will add - I firmly believe you do it deliberately"

You took the words right out of my mouth. Hell, you've admitted as much.

"Go to Merriam-Webster and look up the word "lie"."

Why, will I find a picture of you next to it?

Pal, you're either a liar, or you're willing to post anything you want, true or not.

You don't do ANYWHERE NEAR the research needed for your claims, and on this thread alone you've been caught MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS multiple times.

Why do you get caught making false statements at such a higher rate than any other poster? You're also well-known for purposely leaving out the central part, like the fact parents were only designated "terrorists" AFTER THEY MADE TERRORISTIC THREATS. You've been corrected multiple times, but still repeat the misleading statement.

I'm using the word LIE as it's meant to be used. If you're uncomfortable with me telling the truth about you lying, talk to the guy in your mirror.

Can JeffJ post ANYTHING that isn't a lie?!?

"California is a gentrified state. It has huge natural resource, climate and geographic advantages that other states can't compete with. for the time being they are carried by it. I don't see it as sustainable."

I'm sure Newsome is losing sleep over your "vision".

"California consistently ranks among states with the highest poverty rates when high living costs are considered."

Of course it does.

Whatever state has the most wealth opportunities, will always have the largest wealth gap. Always.

I guess you still don't understand that basic Econ 101 principle.

" He handles himself well in front of a camera"

"Oh , so let's quibble about a decimal point"

You're joking, right? It turns out your numerical claim was WRONG by over 99%.

That's not a quibble, that's you getting caught lying, AGAIN.

" At night, we went to eat where the locals ate, not the tourist spots."

Vital.

It's particularly important to avoid any restaurant with a "We Speak English" sign.

^Apologies: .04 should be .004.

Which means Bellringer was a magnitude off, on both numbers.

"more like .04%.

So, of the two numbers Bellringer was proffering, BOTH were wildly wrong.

Sounds about par for the course.

Redial's point is a valid one.

Where did you get the .3% number?

" California has a terrible wealth/poverty gap."

If you understood math, you'd understand the state with the most wealth opportunities is always going to be the state with the largest wealth gap.

A big IF, I know.

Also: YOU brought up seeing the video.

Were you trying to hijack the thread?

" If you want to change the subject, create your own thread"

Annnnd, once again, you could've addressed the issues in the half-dozen missives you've posted since the issue came up.

You always do that when you don't have a real answer.

" Don't hijack the thread. I say that as someone who has hijacked threads"

So you know nobody gives a fuck.

Just address one thing. Any of the inconsistencies. Take your pick.

" And middle finger to the state that chased him away over greed of confiscating some of his wealth."

The real problem has been the lack of truly progressive taxes.

Income tax is about the only progressive one we have. The rest are regressive, or, on the case of SS taxes, super-regressive.

California and its policies have helped these folks to uncountable amounts. And your advice is to tell the state to GFI.

" create a thread about it and I will gladly comment."

Why me? Is it because you have a bad habit of ghosting your threads once you've been called out?

" I'm happy to discuss the first assassination attempt on Trump with you but it's not the thread topic."

Nobody GAF if you answer. You're just trying to avoid addressing the chasm of inconsistencies.

In the meantime, another thought has worried me: that streak of "blood" across Trumps face is not consistent with the spatter pattern for blood. It looks much more like a lipstick streak. Why is that?

" So, no. You really don't."

Don't be a dummschittt.

I regularly make moves to legally avoid taxes.

If Thiel wants to leave California, don't let the redwoods hit him in the ass.

Now, let me ask you: were Roths ever designed to reach a $15-$20 billion balance?

" Do you understand why someone might take actions to avoid a wealth tax?"

Sure. Why wouldn't I?

But I also know Theil has most of his assets in non-qualified investments, like retirement accounts and real estate.

So basically he's just being a miser.

"does not authorize a foreign corporation to engage in any business or exercise any power that a corporation may not engage in or exercise in this state."

I'm quite familiar with that, from my days as a Health Plan Trustee. A large issue at one point was health plans being allowed to sell in multiple states, and the lynchpin turned out to be ... they already could, they were just trying to get legislation which allowed an Alabama company to sell in Florida ... WITHOUT adhering to Florida's laws.

It got defeated. Otherwise, we would've been treated to a race to the bottom. And, by this point, we'd all have Bamacare.

" retirement accounts would be excluded from the tax."

Then what is Peter Thiel worrying about?!?

FFS, the guy had $15 billion IN HIS ROTH IRA about five years ago.

" Meals are made with local, fresh ingredients. THAT's why it tastes better."

A few years back, the bride and I were part of a CSA. We had to purchase the subscription, as well as work two days during the season to help with the harvests. Every week we'd get a representative share of the harvest.

One spring day, we were at the farm harvesting butter lettuce, aka Bibb or Boston Bibb. I'd always enjoyed it before, but eating it that night, after it was harvested a few hours before, was stunning. The difference was night and day. Now I know why it's called "butter" lettuce.

Another favorite experience was having a lunch in the Olympic Peninsula featuring smoked salmon, swimming until about three hours prior. Not only the best smoked fish I've ever had, but possibly the best fish I've ever had.

Fresh ingredients are da bomb.

" you friend had good food in Italy because he was on vacation. "

I disagree; there's a different culture around dinner in Europe.

In America, dinner is a stop-off towards the evening's event. In Europe, dinner IS the evening's event. Locals usually juke between the bakery, the cheese shop, the vegetable stand, and the Salumeria on their walk home. Meals are made with local, fresh ingredients. THAT's why it tastes better.

My favorite meals in Italy were when we'd go our separate ways during the day, returning with goodies for that night's feast.

Frankly, the only time the food wasn't stunning in Italy, was when I ordered wrong.
