I think we might be well past the days of honest natural sport. Thats not me saying we should be cheating, but trying to get back to that isnt possible, we have to figure this out moving forward not just for women or trans people but for all the other ways science affects sports.

Its not natural that someone with enough money for the best training science can provide them is almost guaranteed to be in the top percentiles of their sport.

What’s interesting is that this has been true since at least roman times, with funding going towards training and gear, even if the participants themselves might not be wealthy.

Because to those outside of religion, its a choice to be religious. All of those least worst Muslims or good Muslims or good Christians or whatever you want to say, all should not be in those religions to begin with.

I’m not saying to destroy the community, break off and make your own “fuck the shitty versions of our religions” sect.

At some point people need to be held to their decisions, despite the community social pressure aspect, as the only way to counter that is equal and opposite pressure.

If you can figure out how to remain in a religion and cause that kind of backlash then I suppose you would be the exception.

Just to summarize, all religions are bad, so being part of them is bad too, even if you are a good person. Can’t be a good Nazi right?

Why are you lashing out at strangers? I dont know that your anger is coming off the way you think it is.

Did you consider that the Netherlands thinks its important to stand by its rule of reform over punishment? You are being incredibly vague as well with what the person deserves.

Say it plainly, what should have been done instead?

Asking you to clarify or defend your position is acting in bad faith? I’m sorry you are too tired to engage but thats not my fault. I’m not sure what I would do with a gotcha anyways, I’m not on social media and I dont have anyone to share it with.

Feel free to come back and defend your perspective whenever though, I’ll see it in my replies I’m sure.

How’s the network wide ad blocking work, that would solve a big issue with my kids.

Is containers here used in the same context as docker? I’m not familiar with podman.

Why does competing need to be a downside of transitioning? Why does transitioning need any or more downsides?

The original post in this thread was entirely black and white, saying it should be decided at birth. Where’s the nuance there?

Where are the trans athletes that are ruining female sports at? Shouldnt we have at least something real to be afraid of? What about men’s sports? Noone wants to talk about trans males for some reason, why dont you take issue with them?

Children tend to have parity up until a certain point, I believe thats where some of the concern is at.

Why do you think the exact gender needs to be nailed down right at birth?

They can’t openly use grindr. I’m sure theres plenty of stealth profiles on there.

Call it even I suppose.

Yeah I assumed the person defending the OP was the OP, my bad. What’s your excuse for being an asshat? Internet tough guy? You sound so big and in charge when you talk like that you know. Do you talk to strangers like that in person too? Can you share your other qualities so I can copy them? You are obviously an amazing person so please help me.

I was more talking about how you made it sound like the founders of lemmy are upset with the user base of it as a whole, and then said they are fake founders anyways because the real work was done before them by others, and then said if they keep it up (never said what they were doing to begin with) SOME PEOPLE wink**wink will stop supporting them financially.

Its just dripping with self importance and arrogance. Its an extremely american thing to assume that your viewpoint is the only valid and logical one.

Lol this passive aggressive nonsense is the most american thing in this thread. If you people dont stop having your own opinion, us white folk might just stop funding your little projects! How big and important you are, we definitely wouldnt want to offend you.

Not being able to take care of your old when they can’t work anymore does not equal the greatest collapse in human history. I guess we will see though.

Why are you so sure Biden will lose now? Are you withholding your vote for him? Who’s got your vote this year?

They are saying your prediction is bad because you couldn’t even follow your own logic to an actual real persons name.

“Excuse excuse excuse, I feel bad voting for Biden so I won’t”

Very inspiring. What other emotions do you have trouble dealing with?

I dont understand how your post has so many up votes when you said not a single specific thing. Can you explain any of the reasons you say China is obviously in a death spiral?

Is it just a feelings based thing from reading posts on here?

Thats a myth about telling the truth. People change more and more the more they drink and the more often they drink. Its not a more honest version of them coming out, just a different one.
