Like last year I share my extended list of 2021 ambient and related genres of music. The list is quite extensive, with 185 albums, but it covers lots of ground, ranging from new age to electroacoustic, or from modern classical to drone and dark ambient/more experimental; and from the more established artists to the more underground acts. But all have something in common, the ability to create one or various atmospheres/moods/feelings.

P.S. - every year I get messages to narrow it down to the top 10 or something. This list is not ranked and is vast in scope, meant for all the diggers out there. Happy digging, and Merry Christmas!

Its hard to believe this question is being raised, but it is the question of the moment.

Three days ago, on 5 October, Abigail Shrier published an interview with Dr Marci Bowers on her website, Top Trans Doctors Blow the Whistle on ‘Sloppy’ Care.

Two says later Shrier published Why Marci Matters: Dr. Marci Bowers’ and Dr. Erica Anderson’s Candor Could Help Thousands of Families

Abigail Shrier is the anti-trans author the book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters”

• https://www.glaad.org/gap/abigail-shrier
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreversible_Damage

The interview appeared immediately in the media and all over anti-trans hate groups – needless to say they love it.

Marci Bowers responded to the uproar on her Twitter account, acknowledging the interview, and notably not saying that it misrepresented her.

• https://twitter.com/marcibdoc/status/1445285681572589573

I’m not best person to analyze the implications of what’s happened here and since becoming a moderator I try to avoid commenting on surgeons. I’m mainly interested in the more medical aspects of transition, but this is a surgery sub, she’s a surgeon, and no one else has posted here about it here yet.

Even if the interview is a misrepresentation of her views, and it appears the time is past to say that, granting an interview to an anti-trans activist is incredibly damaging. No good can possibly come of it.

There’s a lot in the interview, but to pick a couple of bits out.

> Bowers told me she now finds early puberty blockade inadvisable. “I’m not a fan of blockade at Tanner Two anymore, I really am not,” she told me, using the clinical name of the moment when the first visible signs of puberty manifest.

Bowers goes on to blame early puberty blockers for poor surgical results. Jazz Jennings (of the TV series) is a famous example as she has serious complications from surgery with Bowers (and Jess Ting). However, it should be noted that there are surgeons who have no difficulty working with these patients, producing excellent results.

Further, the 2020 paper Sexual Experiences of Young Transgender Persons During and After Gender-Affirmative Treatment published in Pediatri

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

The numbers in brackets are the seasons they competed in. Feel free to copy and paste this into a list randomizer or something.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

[Removed]

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
