I mean firstly you're advocating for taking away people's bodily autonomy by forcing them on a treatment. That's a pretty criticizable position. Secondly, as someone who studies hormones in relation to neuroscience, this would massively mess with people's bodies and have severe health outcomes. Due to hormonal disruptions, data is indicating trans people have a significantly higher rate of Alzheimer's than the general population. We still support this treatment because in their case that's better than committing suicide at a far younger age. But disrupting normal biological development is generally not a good idea. Especially without a reason specific to the individual.

    The door should be motorized, idk if it is though. When they came out I saw a video on the truck from Doug Demuro and I think when it's put in park the door from the cab to the cargo area automatically opens to save like a second per stop. So the side door could definitely have like a button you press when you get out to shut it while you walk away.

    It would not have been awkward, it would have been describing what heeamt had he meant that. Seems some people are incapable of understanding that these are magical beings who's bodies may not be entirely made of material that we would expect.

    Balrogs - and I shouldn't even have to say this - dohave wings.

    I can't believe people still argue over whether or not Balrogs have wings when the text unambiguously says they do. You can have wings and also have a shadow that looks like wings.

    His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings.
    
    ...suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall...
    

    Like two vast wings but then he explicitly says its wings were spread, clearly stating it has wings. To be the most generous you could try to say the wings are made of shadows, but based on the text they're clearly still wings.

    Yes, Balrogs have wings.

    Mine was a flash game, I think on miniclip. Sort of like a tower defense game but it also had a point and shoot cannon you'd use. Sort of near future kind of vibe. I think it had a green background due to being on a field. Top down. Main cannon was a big white one and you would build auto turrets to help defend.

  • Knife safety repair (lemmy.world)
     

    I'm looking to repair the safety slide on this knife. There use to be a hemisphere type of thing on it similar to the button. Years ago it randomly fell off and I didn't notice so I lost it. Any ideas on a good repair? The knife holds sentimental value to me as it was my grandfather's and I believe he got it in West Germany when he was stationed there.

    If anyone knows of any better communities to post to for help I'd love the recommendation!
