I guess around $4.5 by now actually. So my "net worth" must be higher, now that I think about it, esp if I take account of the Clear Eyes and OnlyFans cases. But still way lower than $10.
I've been talking to architects about rebuilding (this is an old basic house, but on 1/2 acre on Diamond Head).

Not flame the insurer tried to back out after Drumpf’s EO against child mutilation so I filed an arbitration against them based on a Hawai’i law that requires equal treatment of trans people. Arbitrator took about 90 minutes to order them to cover it. Spirit of Aloha! 🌈 🏳️⚧️
did you have any misgivings about this? how does a child really know at that age that they "are" the other sex? what if they're wrong? i was wrong about just about everything when i was young.

It's crazy because if his daughter were born 10 years earlier or if she lived in the majority of places in the country that aren't blue bubbles even today it would not have been an option even on the table. For millions of years of our ape evolution it never crossed the minds of anyone to do this until 5 minutes ago but now we have a SWeet social experiment going on by far left people in wealthy enclaves. If you have the misfortune of being born into this reality, snip snip! I guess the Ottoman Empire had eunuchs so it could have happened then too.

This viewpoint is retarded my friend. There have always been trannies. I guess you might say that it's better for "human flourishing" to make these people present as "confirmed bachelors" like Lindsey or "strong family men" like Byron Noem. But to my mind, that preference would be the domain of <100 IQ people.

Essentially. You're conflating being trans with being gay. And you're doing it pejorarively, mocking them with quotes around "strong family men."
You're framing being closeted gay (or trans, which you conflate) as a negative. If you had real sympathy for these people you'd have compassion, but since they oppose you politically your true feelings come out. No different than how "antiracist" libs call Thomas and Sowell Uncle Toms.

I grew up in a series of VERY rural towns in the American West. By the time I was around 13, it was apparent to me that I was smarter than my parents, my classmates, my teachers. Even at college I was smarter than the people around me, and as smart as the best professors.
And then I went to SLS, and it came as a bit of a shock to me that there were people my same age who were just purely smarter than me.

Yet you, a very high IQ middle aged man, conflates gender identity and sexual orientation.
Perhaps it's not absurd it's questionable a 16 year old of ordinary intelligence is certain they're a different gender, not just gay or confused. At least to the extent they shouldn't have irrevocable surgery.

My gay trans friend wants to get snipped. He's like 24 or something. Everyone in his life including parents telling him not to. But what can you do it's an adult. At least he got to go through puberty and got to decide what to do an adult however misguided.

My friend is a closeted gay man who wants to be a woman. No right answers. It's a tough situation but I really hope he doesn't go on hormones and snip his nuts off. There's little I can do but keep the dialog open.

Unlicensed Practice of Law. It is an interesting question of whether one needs a law license in the state that arbitration is pending to rep a client in that jxd or if that does not matter bc arbi is a creature of contract and not real court. Idk, but I am going to ask HHS attorneys to look into this along w/ microplastics.

Ty, man. I just paid for the house outright after a case came in, and after reading a bunch of Reddit posts saying that owning a house free and clear is the best "unemployment insurance."
If I had higher risk tolerance I would have taken an 80% mortgage and doubled my NW by just buying S&P. But it's still been fine.

My parents did the same thing around your age. Bought the beautiful retirement home and missed out on gains. We'll never know how rich they would have become had they not gotten so NEEDY about their golden years.
