The difference here is that children often lack a concept of sexuality, because they don't feel sexual attraction yet. That liking someone or being attracted to someone is two different things, is something children usually learn in puberty.

But children very well understand, the social constructs we create for boys and girls, and can express whether they feel that fitting them or not.

Finally you said:

A kid thst age shouldn’t have a defined gender or sexuality.

This is exactly what the issue is about. Let the children use the bathroom they feel most comfortable with and not impose a gender and sexuality on them.

How tf. is it making a child into an activist?

"You have an issue you feel uncomfortable about, and feel your safety is threatened? let's talk with a democratic representative, so they better understand you." Is not "activism". It is normal political process in a democracy and it should be endorsed, especially for children. They have rights too and they have opinions too and since they cannot voice their opinion in elections it is all the more important that they can be heard by politicians. And there the bar is also different. A child cannot be expected to form a conscise political argument, leave alone lobby for it, what would be activism. But children have legitimate concerns that need to be heard nonetheless.

By this definition raising any issue with any politician is "activism". Also who the fuck would deny a child to change its mind as it grows up?

I would argue that there is many ways to preserve wider appeal w.o. it having to be boring.

Heck even in this kitchen if all that was wrong was the paint job, you can fix that in a weekend.

But it is the floor and working top, the shape of the cabinets, the poor tiling and walls, the mismatch of the cabinets and stove, the lack of appliance space, the lack of windows...

Which is fascinating, that they themselves thought there was any doubt about it, or they could argue such a doubt.

This is the same like arguing "It wasn't me who shot the mailmen dead. It was my automated home self defense system"

But for the abortion enemys would have to reflect why they have this fundamentalist stance on abortion in the first place.

And they won't. Because then they would have to realize, that it is neither about the life of the child nor the life of the mother, but to punish women for being women and to punish them, for not fitting in the sexual morals that on the one hand are overly prude to the outside, but highly perverted on the inside.

It is to punish other women for their own moral shortcomings. Of course they are not open to a rational discussion. Because at the end of the discussion looms the realisation, that they need to reconcile with themselves.

The IP helped the Internet to establish. But once established we see trends to try to limit the very technology into propriety. Think of the Facebook internet access schemes that tried to make everything go through facebook. Think of the attempts to make priviledged and throttled websites based on what the ISP likes...

When Podcasts were new, the open standard was embraced, but now we see attempts to make them exclusive too. Just that they didn't prevail yet.

In the UK drum n bass is a thing since about 35 years. In many European countries there is a stable scence since about 25 years. A friend of mine had a boss in his 50s, who used to DJ drum n bass here in Germany.

I don't think it ever had a strong mainstream appeal outside the UK though

The first point doesn't hold though. it is always better to have a ship run with cargo than without, in terms of efficiency. Afterall the point of the ship moving is to transport cargo.

For the cooling i am also sceptical. It was common all over Europe to trade with ice cut out of glaciers and frozen lakes until the invention of the cooling pump made electrical fridges a thing. If you store the ice in somewhat well insulated containers, it will cool itself quite decently for long travels. Icecellars were common to hold Ice that was collected in winter and lasted for cooling all throughout the year even in the mediteranian areas.

I also find this business obscene, but i do not see, that it would be more harmful, than sending empty ships around the world.

Legislators could just offer a very easy solution. They could simply mandate copyright holders to offer the copyright to all interested parties at a fair price. If content ist held back or only exclusively distributed through one party it should go public domain, as the holder of the rights clearly does not intend to profit in a legitimate way from.

The intend of copyright is to make sure, that the holder of the right can get a fair compensation. It is not the intend that his work is abused to manipulate the markets.

All we can do is 50k and some fruits in the office.

If a government explicitly blocks it and tries to find and punish trading off or in cryptocurrencies that will cause interference.

that is talking about blockchain as a technology for cryptocurrencies.

capitalism is generally terrible at allocating ressources. It will always win to externalize costs, and if the people footing the bill cannot participate in the market, like for instance future generations, the result is always a self destructive system.
