Fair enough. I wasn’t sure since people had the mindset that the number of users moving to Lemmy were enough to take down reddit.

No, you need to not make assumptions. The comment I was responding to was discussing circumcision, and had nothing to do with blockers or hormones. I intentionally only brought up surgery.
Anything else was your assumption.
It’s definitely a thing, even with people who can’t speak due to brain damage.
Voice resonance has more to do with your body/skull structure than anything. One thing that I find interesting is that most phenomenonal singers have rather large mouths. My singing ability actually improved as a child after getting my jaw expanded.
You can kinda test this out yourself. Hold a note with your arms by your side, then again with your hands on top of your head with elbows out. Your voice will have a lot more resonance because you’re expanding your chest (this is also the best position to catch your breath in)

I also have a fun breathing exercise that will make you super light headed, which is fun.
The speech and singing regions of the brain are separate from each other, which is why this works. It also can work for people who lose the ability to speak from brain damage.
It’s wild how adaptable the brain is. Some dude was out there just living life when he had a head mri after a car crash (iirc) and found that he only had a brain stem.
Amen. It would be nice to have posts on actual technology instead of business/financial news about technology companies, or what shitty CEOs are doing in their personal lives.
The fediverse is not anywhere near large enough to stabilize those numbers.
I never said I supported the laws blocking access to blockers and hormones. You’re the one who read more into my comment than what was there.
That doesn’t answer my question.
I always love the, “it was about state’s rights,” people.
Yes, you’re absolutely correct. It was about the state’s right to let rich white men own black people.
Yeah, for sure. I’m definitely not against hormones and mental health treatment. It’s just weird that “children shouldn’t be able to just get permanent, life altering surgery,” is a bad take around here.
It really depends on what you’re searching for, but avoid searching complete sentences and try to keep your keywords very specific to what you want.
I guess you also support letting 14 year olds get tattoos?
Nah, he’d do it if there was a legitimate chance of going to prison.
I’ll have to get back to you once I fix Synology webstation yet again.
I would love to have an electric smart car for running errands.
Tbh, I think that irreversible sex change surgeries shouldn’t be allowed until the age of 18 (circumcision included). There’s a reason that we don’t let children do a lot of things, and that’s because their brain isn’t developed enough to make informed decisions.
There are a lot of things that I personally thought were a good idea in my teens that I definitely wouldn’t in my mid 30s, and I’m sure that’s true for most people.
My wife’s dog won’t come when I call the dogs to take them outside until I walk into the room he’s in and tell him directly. Little shit.
I think people misunderstood you.
I took your statement to mean that we should let the South African wildlife kill and eat him.

First, inhale for 4 seconds, completely filling your lungs, then exhale, completely emptying your lungs. Repeat, taking one second off the inhale each time, but keeping the exhale at 4 seconds.
The effect is amplified if you bend over while doing it and stand up quickly after.
