Liver failure is terminal. She was invariably going to die without the transplant. She wanted to receive the donation, her donor wanted to donate. If the success rate for a living transplant is zero that's one thing, but that's not being claimed here since she wasn't eligible for procedural reasons.

I'd be inclined to agree, except that her partner wanted to donate HIS liver and was prohibited from doing so as a living donation due to the alcohol use determination.

I'm sure that the protest size limits of 100 will be respected at a school with 55,000 students. This is definitely a realistic and effective strategy for them to take.

Well of course not. They don't see cis children as people either, just as property. You're a person in the womb, property until you turn 18, and a drag on society after that unless you're a christian conservative.

The first word you submitted in this comment chain is literally "pronouns" and the topic of conversation is your stated choice of "it/its" pronouns and implication that you use them when not engaging with individuals, like on this board.

To be somewhat contrarian, what advantage is there in BLM raising these concerns and making this demand? What does it do, in this election cycle, to advance their agenda?

Thank you for the kind words. Not updating is not a decision we have taken lightly. I can’t speak to the specifics because I’m not tech enough to fully understand them, but I believe a major part of the reason for not updating has to do with that migration off Lemmy - that it changes the way data is stored and organized and because of such the migration process (moving comments, threads, etc. to sublinks) would need to be entirely redesigned.

The instance admins have indicated in the post linked above and in several others that there isn't really any plan to upgrade to the newer Lemmy version given the desire to move to Sublinks.

Edit: There's some more discussion about it in this thread posted earlier today. https://beehaw.org/post/15453474

Not even, it's just a case of "this role was one of many eliminated as part of a larger cost-cutting measure affecting 200 employees."

Oh for sure. Actually doing this is really unfair to her, and shouldn't happen.

I also appreciate your reasoning for calling her Vivian. Well said.

Harris should share a video that mimics Elon's voice talking about how he loves and supports his trans daughter and accepts her unconditionally as a woman.

Edit: Several people seem to have taken this seriously. For clarity, it was a joke. It would be really unfair and inappropriate to weaponize her in this way without her consent. I regret the ambiguity.

Sure, but the argument isn't "should we ban work that is based on the study of past cultural creation" it's "we should prevent computational/corporate exploitation of past cultural creation in order to protect the interests of humans."

Well, for starters, "college" uses a soft g sound.
