Fair point, however by your own source:

although permanent effects in body chemistry can sometimes be seen, as in the case of bone density loss increasing with length of use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA).

In men... ...side effects of some drugs may include depression, suicidal ideation, hot flashes, anemia, infertility, increase in body fat and higher risks of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis.

In women... ...side effects include the deflation of breast glands, expansion of the size of the nipple and shrinking of bone mass.

My original point was about wrongful conviction but fuck, even if the person is guilty, that is cruel and unusual punishment.

State enforced depression and suicide ideation? No thanks. That's Josef Mengele style shit, the Nazi SS Angel of Death

We have movies with multiple audio streams. So you can choose English, or French, or crew commentary.

Why not have a mix for "standard home TV setup" and a mix for "5.1 ultimate surround sound system" and keep both groups of people happy?

I think you're attacking the wrong people.

If you'ved lived in the same home for 50 years, brought up children there, made and maintained a garden there, formed a community with your neighbours, would you want to move?

Old people living in a home with 3 bedrooms instead of 1 is at the very bottom of the list of reasons there's a housing crisis.

Businesses owning hundreds of homes, artificially manipulating supply, landlords profiteering and increasing rents every single year, they are far more to blame than a granny who just wants to end her days in the house she's made home.

How do you reverse a chemical castration if it's later revealed the person was wrongfully convicted?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-47973826

New figures show that 84 people were wrongly convicted of crimes between 2007 and 2017.

Charges ranged from murder to rape and included people serving life sentences.

To clarify: that number is just for Northern Ireland, I don't know the number for the whole UK but presumably proportionally similar. By my maths that would be 296 people wrongfully convicted in the UK per year

They're representative politicians in a supposed representative democracy.

The word representative means they are there in place of "the people" because you can't expect everyone to read and fully understand everything.

That is therefore the politician's job. They are not supposed to have people to summarise the bill for them. They are meant to understand it and determine whether to vote yes or no based on the needs and requirements of their constituents.

If the bill is too long or complex then they should vote no until they can understand the whole thing.

In the opposite of The Simpsons Governator, they are meant to read, not to lead!

Fuck giving views and news to everything this twat says. The more news written about him the more he's normalised and legitimised.

Do you want to slip into fascism like America? Because that's how we slip into fascism.

Ignore him and spend your time and effort building up the likes of the Greens instead of whatever this arsehole has to say.

Why would we want savings?

We've had austerity since 2010 and "saved" "£350m a week" via Brexit and what has it got us so far?

Tax the rich and spend public funds on public infrastructure. Fuck savings, we're not a poor country, it's just distributed ridiculously in favour of arseholes.

This is therefore the time for the Greens to capitalise and try and capture the apathetic by pushing for proportional representation. Unfortunately, the English Greens don't seem to have the same competence as the Scottish Greens, so them actually managing to do so is slim :/

Ooft, I think you're in need of a GP in that case, not an AI toilet.

I hope you feel better soon 🤞
