Nearly all studies cited by right wingers are really old and debunked. They cherry pick to the one thing they can find that supports their views.

It's also a myth that appears in trans communities on occasion. The right wing misogynist to trans-girl pipeline is alive and well.

Soy is not feminizing. Plant estrogens are not mammal estrogen. You have to actually take estrogen. It's really inconvenient.

The rural parts, and most of eastern Washington are very Ohio. The difference in bigotry and political leaning is urban vs rural.

I think its misguided to tell someone they have to move to another state. That's a really big commitment. You can find accepting places much closer by moving to a nearby big city. That is far more achievable than moving to another state.

They fly pride flags in downtown Boise. The color of the state only changes the state level laws, not the local culture.

You can ask it to turn off the summaries. It still shows them but you can ask.

This isn't much of a change. Before AI it was SEO slop. Search for product reviews and you get a bunch of pages "reviewing" products by copying the amazon description and images.

When learning a language, you don't do literally everything by the book. In the real world you have to figure it out and extrapolate from incomplete information, and sometimes you get it a bit wrong.

From a few minutes playing on an autotranslator, it appears that Norwegan uses the same word for male/man and female/woman. Like the noun and adjective versions are the same word with different conjugations. A Norwegan learning english as a second language can quite reasonably be unaware that there is a distinction there.

It's pretty normal to use male and female when specifying gender as an adjective. Man and woman are nouns. Calling a professional a female manager, or male teacher is normal english grammar. Using male or female as a noun is the red flag, which upon re-reading they also do... hmmmm

But OP constantly genders the channel instead of the creator which feels more non-native english speaker to me. They post about european stuff and in norwegean. Don't read too much into it.

security through obscurity is not security

I was discussing real world sounds in open air. Yes, destructive interference is something you have to account for when dealing with sound systems. A speaker playing the same sound in the inverse phase will cause issues, but a group of people, as was the topic, will never be anywhere close that precise.

If the concern is safety, as it is in this example, the concern is the worst case. And the worse possible case is when all the sounds interfere constructively.

It's not really a counterargument when I specifically said my logic of ignoring destructive interference doesn't apply in "situations designed to cause it" like two synchronized sinusoids. Most people are not synchronized sinusoids.

Sorry for the very tangent.

That speech frequency graph is a good visual of why for trans voice training, resonance is more important than pitch. The pitch is nearly the same, the difference is in which overtones are projected.

Where did you find it? I would like to read more about the methodology.
