I don't have any proof that I do, my feeling is that they do what is stated. All I know is that I'm not dead yet. And they act as focusing aids when meditating. Ritual actions are essential for the creative adhd mind. At least for me. I am also still a lover of science and technology. I see these emerging systems as heralds of the advancement and perhaps salvation of the human species. But we have lot of work to do.

"Jose Rivera, claims that he purchased the ticket from Joe’s Service Center on or around Nov. 7, 2022, and that it was stolen from him by a man he knows only as “Reggie.”

Rivera alleges that he tried to get the ticket back from Reggie after the winning number was announced on Nov. 8, 2022, but that Reggie refused to do so and tried to blackmail Rivera into splitting the winnings by threatening to destroy the ticket."

Eh, sounds like a pretty unlikely story.

I have literally never heard of a substantiated case where a trans kid has gotten an operation that young. She's claiming they started testosterone at 13 and operated at 15, which would still be the youngest ages I've ever heard of. Only rarely are transmasculine kids able to get top surgery before they're 18, and usually only then when they're 17 or older. I've heard of like two cases, personally, of surgery at 16, so what we're talking about here is rare as hen's teeth.

The odds against things happening as Cole claims are kind of astronomical, and there should be a whole series of rails in place to keep hesitant patients from getting these sorts of surgeries. Cis people have this absurd idea that we can just pop in on any doctor for an operation whenever we want, and the reality is just absurdly far from that.

Okay, first of all, I did no such thing. I am just stunned at your audacity.

Second of all, WPATH Standards of Care don't exist in a vacuum. They have to conform and respond to all pediatric standards of care as well, and if a person was treated as you suggest, they would not have been treated under standard of care, and KP would be lying.

I will not be responding to you further, given your behavior.

The #1 influencer for the young man demographic has been Andrew Tate for plural years now. Our structures of socialization actively push aggressive domineering hyper-individualist personality traits as paragons of masculinity. This has been a thing for decades.

We desperately need good role models

>Rivera filed a lawsuit against Castro, Reggie and the California Lottery on Feb. 22 in Los Angeles County Superior Court. asking the court to declare him as the rightful owner of the lottery ticket and the prize money. Rivera alleges that he tried to get the ticket back from Reggie after the winning number was announced on Nov. 8, 2022, but that Reggie refused to do so and tried to blackmail Rivera into splitting the winnings by threatening to destroy the ticket.

Depending how long ago it was when he purchased the ticket there might be a slim chance the shop has a recording of the purchase.

I mean, it’s a $2 billion lottery ticket, the largest in history. I’d be half tempted to try and file a lawsuit saying it was mine, and I don’t even live in California lmao. Of course someone will come out of the woodwork saying it’s “rightfully theirs”. Congrats to the winner though…can’t imagine the feeling

Ok does the place have security cameras. Lottery system should have the time recorded of when ticket was sold just look at which person was at the counter at that time. Not to mentioned as printed on the tickets sign them when you buy them. Without a signature they are considered property of who ever has them in hand.
