Well assume I do and that was my response. I’m sure thats not all it takes to convince someone a conspiracy isn’t true.

How do conspiracy folk answer that counterpoint?

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.

Its going to sound silly, but I can’t get past how confident he is and how quickly he posts. Noone makes good arguments with that little thought. At least thats my current theory on why he bothers me.

Who knows though maybe I’m projecting.

I think the reasons people move to cities in the US might not be the same as in the EU. Arguably quality of life peaks, in the US, in the surrounding suburbs of major cities. The closer you get to downtown the more expensive and the more difficult it is to do things.

In Europe I get the impression moving to larger cities actually does improve a lot of aspects of life on an individual basis.

For example, we have considered moving to New York or Chicago but what stops us is the amount of money needed and how difficult it can be just to keep up with a regular life in a city that dense and hostile.

Fuck that guy.

I guess they are a single issue resident.

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?

Why is it when someone says “many reasons” it usually means “I can’t think of a specific reason, but I’m sure there are bunches of them”.

That doesnt work in the long term unless you kill everyone that knows about it. Its a weak plan at best.

You hold a grudge for 12 years? Did they kick your dog or something?

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.

Coward.

Well we are talking about maximum right? Cram em in there! Although that does make the big truck a 10 seater.
