Wouldn’t “faux-philanthropy” be if he stuck a camera in their face and promised the surgery and then as soon as the camera was off didn’t follow through? The fact he films the process in order to make money and fund his business that will help more people doesn’t make it fake.

“faux-philanthropy”

Oh were those people not really blind or something? 

He’s not the only influencer. Do you really think that every other shitty YouTuber is assailed with accusations that they’re not being philanthropic? You really think these arguments just come down to “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” when what we’re talking about is creating a personally lucrative brand off of…

How about the hundreds of thousands of kids around the world that use sports as a means to better their lives. Is it over-rated for them? So both your parents had full rides letting them graduate without massive student loan debt? Yeah I’m sure that hasn’t positively affected your life at all. Why don’t you sit back…

Trans men using testosterone (not all trans folx choose to do hormone replacement therapy, gender affirming surgery, etc.) are held to the same standard at other male athletes. They cannot exceed certain levels and still participate.

To the best of my understanding, we (I’m FtM) have a definite advantage over cis women - testosterone is a major performance enhancement and is banned as a doping drug in most competitive sports. Speaking only for myself, I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in my athletic ability since I started testosterone. I…

This is my one question I have not gotten a good answer on yet either. Does a female to male transgender individual have a clear advantage in sports? If anyone has a clear article refuting that from a reputable source I would like to read it. I can’t think of a single other scenario where being Transgender may even…

I think a lot of the initial hate, far pre-dating her run for president was based on the fact she was a woman. Add in the fact of her last name and it snowballs into this crazy conspiracy fueled ball of hate that even Democrats kind of hated her on a more visceral level. Sure she had lots of policy issues and I think…

I am a 35 yr old white male that was in a remotely similar situation a few years back at my old job.

I think O’Rourke is done. He is too bland and central in his views. Would I vote for him over literally any republican? YES but I really would not want him as the nominee.

I don’t think its been mentionned in the show but at least in the books the dead are buried in the crypts in a special way to prevent being reanimated. It is done with the sword across the lap of their statue and a few other steps I believe.

Ugh Peppa Pig is the worst. Peppa and her brother never really learn anything and don’t get me started on the dad or grandpa that are egotistical idiots that never listen because they know better and then always mess up. There are a lot better kids shows to watch this one is banned in my house.

The kind of people who love to “stick it to the libs” are probably collectively creaming their pants right now, though. This is exactly the type of person they want in control.

What if he was killed by one of the animals he was trying to hunt? That would be a little cosmic justice. Of course I am sure he only hunts cornered animals in a small fenced in area surrounded by guards so the chances of that are very slim.

america works just like a car... you put it in (D) to go forward and (R) to go backwards...

Just Saw ID in concert, wasn’t really keen on going but my wife is a big fan. Sure a good chunk of their music is mediocre but they had a great energy, a positive message and really seemed grateful to be where they are and appreciative of the moment. overall 9/10 would go again.

I’ll take a bad calculator over green texts any day

You could spend $1000 on a Note 7 only to have it explode in your pocket!

On Sunday we had several fires break out in my area of California. Luckily not as bad as Sonoma/Napa but still forcing evacuations. I work for the county and volunteer for EOC (emergency operations center) and Monday afternoon Cal fire reported a fire had broken out on my street, nowhere near the existing fires. I…

There are legal limits how much one can pay a surrogate in California. Something something buying babies. That’s the extent of my legal knowledge.
