Like a 0 to 100 scale would work.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So you&amp;#39;d have 31 possible combinations of flavors, but each combination would have a *very* wide range of expression based on the relative intensities. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And you&amp;#39;d have one (void) which wouldn&amp;#39;t need intensity, as everything would have to be at zero.

I hope all six of them choke on it). &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;it is a decision that would uphold similar laws against adults, both on a state level and a federal level.

Children have exactly the same rights as adults, save only that SOME of those rights and how they are exercised are subject to their guardian&amp;#39;s decision.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;MOREOVER, the reasoning of this decision turns on what standard of scrutiny to apply -- which is not an issue related to parental rights or children&amp;#39;s rights, and instead is based on what rationale the government can use and to what standard is must rise to.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The legal logic used would apply exactly the same to banning HRT for adults.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I do not understand why someone who does not understand our legal and constitutional system is arguing with us here.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Because they clearly have NOT read the majority opinion, or if they have they have not understood it, and are instead arguing based on their imagined version of this opinion!

Rage because they can&amp;#39;t throw around power like they used to, they don&amp;#39;t get the automatic &amp;#39;respect&amp;#39; they used to, that people -- especially younger people, minorities, people lower in the internal hierarchy that defines their lives, question them and act like equals or even superiors. Angry that they&amp;#39;re being judged.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And so as they fade, they&amp;#39;re determined to force the world back to how they wished it used to be -- and to wreck anything of value so that no one else will every have their advantages. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;They&amp;#39;d rather destroy it all than see the world continue without them. And they&amp;#39;ve got a lot of allies who&amp;#39;d rather destroy the world than accept one where their gender and skin color doesn&amp;#39;t automatically massively privilege them above everyone else.

It&amp;#39;s the basic underpinning of every LLM. It doesn&amp;#39;t think, doesn&amp;#39;t understand, it just assembles the most likely set of words and symbols based on what it&amp;#39;s seen before. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And they&amp;#39;re pouring billions of dollars and ridiculous amounts of energy in a desperate attempt to make a pig fly, all while lying to VC investors and the public that it&amp;#39;s practically on the edge of sentience and TOTALLY understands stuff and they&amp;#39;ll work it out soon! And then dragging in the results of other machine learning tools and pretending it&amp;#39;s the LLM doing it, like it&amp;#39;s a one-sized all problem solving machine.

Where the groundwork for the first memes were laid -- primitive things of simple words, barely more than repeated jokes.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Back when one truly could not fathom how someone as dumb as that managed to get onto the internet.&amp;#34;

      In all the shit, I did want to take a moment to point out the best transition response -- from one of my coworkers.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;From memory, something like:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;#34;Emilia, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;[Manager] mentioned you had a new name and email address. Did you get my email earlier this morning to your old address? I&amp;#39;ve attached it just in case. Let me know if you have any questions about the issue.&amp;#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Absolutely fucking perfect. Thank you coworker, for realizing a fundamental fact that eludes half the fucking country: Me having a new name is literally the only way this affects you, which is an issue you face many many times a year due to marriage customs.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;FUCKING YES THANK YOU. New name, back to fucking business.

That take insurance, too. Speech pathologists trained in gender affirming voice. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The majority of voice training seems to be  learning what all the different terms mean, and how to hear the difference in others and then in yourself. It&amp;#39;s so hard to describe because unless you&amp;#39;re a trained singer or actor, the odds are you&amp;#39;ve never encountered the terms or context! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And yeah, dysphoria is weird like that. I&amp;#39;ve lost count of the number of girls I&amp;#39;ve met who are dysphoric about things only they noticed.

It&amp;#39;s quite fun, once you&amp;#39;re past the endlessly frustrating bits.

I&amp;#39;m not even sure my brain registered it as anything.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But by the time I could read stuff aloud with enough brainpower left to think about it, we switched to Jane Austen excerpts.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;She keeps switching excerpts on me, so I have to focus on the words so much that I can&amp;#39;t think about my voice.

And they don&amp;#39;t need a mental health letter (much less two), months of therapy, or anything else. Straight from noticing problem, having hormone issue fixed, and straight to surgical consult and surgery. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;They don&amp;#39;t get shit from other people about what they&amp;#39;re doing with their body. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and with gynecomastia? That&amp;#39;s 100% gender dysphoria that drives the decision to surgically fix it.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The underlying health issue was corrected with hormone therapy well before.

Is it perfect? HA, no. Sloppy as hell. But the color is pretty and most importantly it&amp;#39;s on my fingers and not in the bottle.
