That's from a year ago, I'm sure it's only grown since.

I think it's you who's in a bubble, my friend.

I would never use a physical card with NFC anyway because it is both inconvenient (have to enter PIN every 5 transactions) and insecure (for transactions without PIN there's no verification layer), whereas on my phone I have to unlock it for every transaction no matter how small, and doing so is a small matter of pressing my finger on the fingerprint reader.

I'm as anti-capitalist as they come but this is kind of a lost fight in my mind because if not Google - then Visa/Mastercard and the bank itself will know every transaction I make anyway.

Hence I'm asking for a source. The author doesn't have one, do you? Not just clickbait articles either, but proper research that establishes not only that curriculum regarding sex differences has been altered on a large scale to exclude any mention of established sex differences, but that it was not caused by evolution of our understanding of the concept and the on-going debate surrounding it, but by a defined political force that could be constituted as a "movement."

As it stands, the paper doesn't do that, so it's conclusions are just ramblings of no substance.

Of course, as I said, I'm not getting said source, because no such thing exists and with your comment dodging the question as well, I was proven right.

QED?

Furthermore, neither you nor the author even elaborate on what this movement is, or what exactly is it doing. Hence my comment regarding persecution complexes.

Imagining some vaguely defined "movement" that is allegedly doing a vaguely-defined something that is framed as disagreeable is exactly what a persecution complex is.

Oh and nice try with the accusation of "hostility". I see you've learned a great deal from this paper when it comes to deflecting criticism.

The hostility and derision is used to attack not those who are simply wrong and seeking to start a discussion so they can learn more, but those who attempt to frame their wrongness as if it's right, especially when motivated by ideology, like this clearly is.

Just like those peddling horse-dewormer as a COVID cure, honestly, what do you expect? Such is the freedom of speech, when you say something really really dumb, like that evolutionary psychology is real, people telling you that you might be really really dumb isn't some conspiracy out to get you or your viewpoint, it's just a natural reaction when confronted with stupidity.

I could equally make the claim that I'm met with hostility and derision because I have the "wrong research" on how the Earth is actually flat, and the science community is clearly part of a conspiracy to censor me.

[Citation Needed]

But of course there will never be a real citation here because you're just demonstrating more of the same persecution complex that the author also has. Kids are still taught about chromosomes and all that.

But talking about how it's difficult to teach kids about binary sex definitions and bizarre pseudoscience about how evolution selected women to be in the kitchen is the equivalent of saying how it's difficult to teach kids how Pluto is a planet.

Curriculums evolve as our understanding of things evolves, so as a society it's our duty to make sure to add the nuance necessary to give people a more complete understanding of the world, which can only ever be a good thing.

The funny aspect of what I said is of course referring to the repeated self-owns within the paper, I mean, sheesh, if you're gonna peddle your unremarkable anti-science ideology at least be consistent. How can you argue for an end-all, be-all definition and then proceed to debunk it in the next paragraph? I guess reading what you wrote wasn't an evolutionary advantageous skill

I in general do not understand why these dudes do these insane sexual things. I always knew there were people out there who made sex a big part of their lifestyle, but group sex with double digit partners in the last month?

Holy shit not only is that incredibly bizarre to most people, but it's unreasonable to suggest it can't be avoided. Is there just no monogamy in the gay male community?

I need to find a job to work part-time during my studies so I can afford rent, I need to do my degree so I can stay legal in this country and not have to go back to where it would be unsafe for me, I need to find a full-time job with visa sponsorship so I can stay after my degree is done to be able to stay.

I need to contribute at least a day or two worth of time every few weeks to my hobby to keep it alive and me - sane.

I need to cook for myself to save money.

I've no luck finding any jobs one way or another despite applying for loads I don't know if it's just me being a graduate with little work experience or the economy, probably a bit of both.

It's hard to do my hobby good when I feel like there are more pressing important responsibilities around. It's hard to give a heck about university when it's all online-only because of COVID.

Cooking for myself requires going outside to buy groceries. Anxiety intensified by the other things makes that difficult.

Things were looking up for me in September, graduating, being accepted to a new degree but now it's all just like an illusion fading away. Every time I wake up, I'm crushed by the pressure of all those things and just choose to scroll the internet for 12 hours a day and go to bed as soon as possible.
