There's a lot of evidence that the early the transition is made the happier the patient will be. I think you are right on the mark about "growing up the wrong gender" playing a role. Typically adult transitions come with all sorts of co-morbid conditions probably resulting from years of denial, rejection, and often abuse.

I like to explain memory vs storage like this:
Memory is just like a person's memory. When that person dies, nobody knows what they were thinking unless they wrote it down.

Being morbid is not just for my amusement, you can also bet it will stick with the person.

While computers operate in essentially the same way now as they did then, and while stupid people are just as stupid now as they were then, what's changed is that you no longer need to know all this stuff. Anything off the shelf is going to be more than capable of handling the things stupid people are looking to do.

Half of these products are really only useful for morbidly obese customers.

I guess it is America's biggest growth market though.

Bmacs You are moving the goalposts.
You say above that your key gripe is in using BMI to approximate health. Not the likelihood of ones imminent demise.
Lets clear this up.
1. You are making a conversation about morbidity about mortality.
2. You are dealing with data specific to BMI as it relates to Blood pressure and mortality as it specifically relates to hypertensive individuals. Is your suggestion that High blood pressure and cardiac events are the only risks involved with obesity? What about things that don't kill you but directly impact the quality of your life? Thinking diabeties here, among other things.
3. You seem to be trying to somehow debunk the concept that obesity has ANY negative health consequences by dismissing the other articles cited.
4. What biomarkers are you concerned with. What study are you focused on? There are plenty of studies surrounding biomarkers for obesity and comorbitidy. Here is a nature article directly citing that.

What are you actually suggesting here? Obesity is causal to NO life threatening or impacting diseases? That it has NO negative health consequences?

@scannex Okay, none of your articles whatsoever considered any other biomarkers that may be correlated with obesity, let alone other factors like socioeconomic status, other behavioral choices, etc. For example: In this plot from this article of the oxford journal of epidemiology shows that the relationship between BMI and mortality breaks down for women with a systolic blood pressure below about 150mmHg excluding morbidly obese women(those with a BMI between 40 and 75). It also shows a "protective effect," in terms of mortality risk, of obesity in men with high blood pressure.
The article cites at least 9 articles and I quote, "The associations between body weight, raised blood pressure, and mortality remain controversial." Thus, you're wrong, this is very much a "jury is still out" sort of a question.

I wouldn't call her the ugliest woman. Actually I find women that are unkempt/unhealthy (read dirty/morbidly obese) are far less attractive than her. If she were able to fix that one wonky eye, I'd even put her on the 12-pack list. 12-pack of IPAs but 12-pack nonetheless

I started off with MJ and the Beach Boys at age 5. Then around 2nd grade it was Vanilla Ice & MC Hammer. Then 3rd it became Ice-T, NWA, Ice Cube. 4th grade it became Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse. 5th Grade it was Kyuss, Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Nirvana. 6th grade it was local punk bands, Lookout! Records, Minor Threat, Rancid... 7th grade I delved into the heart of Legendary DIY underground punk music. Ebullition records (Econochrist, Born against, Downcast, Spitboy, Iconoclast, Los Crudos), , Gravity Records (Heroin, Angel Hair, Antioch Arrow, Clikatat Ikatowi), Dischord (Fugazi, Hoover, Rites of Spring). The list goes on and on. The next ten years were all about underground hardcore/punk/noise/power-violence/sludge/grind/doom.

Then I moved to San Francisco. LOL. I'm an Aquarius. AQUARIUS RECORDS!!!!! I still listen to some of that stuff from time to time. A LOT of it was way ahead of it's time. These kids these days can't hold a candle to genuine, innovative, raw DIY music.

Ya I can't tell if it's an elaborate fake, or if the video is just set in that strange Japanese humor I don't always get. Some of it looks very real and some of it is just too campy to be true. If it is real it seems like a very early prototype. @spoco2 is right about a few things though the OS shown in the video is a fake it was CGI for sure. And some of it just seemed very unfinished and very rough around the edges to be a complete product. Not to mention the weapons sanctions for selling something like that overseas.

Trust me I want this to be real soooo bad and I think if anyone will pull it off first it will be the Japanese. They have a morbid obsession with Gundam's but this just reeks of a fake to me.

Especially combined with the music. Great stuff, if a bit morbid..

Wouldn't mine actually be the primary video, since the other is incomplete?


It doesn't work like that. First wins. That said, the other video may actually have been the longer version originally, but it was deaded and fixed once, so...

The intro doesn't make a difference to me, but I'm not going to second. This version also has subtitles and seems to be slightly better quality.


EDIT: Then again... if I had submitted this, and the video was *dooped, I'd probably just *bckup the other video with this one and *ded the original. (That would work, wouldn't it?). So, although I think it's different enough to survive, it's still basically the same video.

This one has an intro that isn't on the previous sift, otherwise they're the same - does the intro count towards this one being suitably different?
