  • The bitching is encouraged by algorithms. Idk if you've seen the youtube drama bullshit scene but its all bitching all the time. The only way to stop it is to leave platforms utilizing conflict algorithms and work on fostering communities that don't celebrity worship.

  • I think the algorithms and media advertising are setup to monetize outrage and he got big precisely because he was willing to say and do anything for attention.

    If not for the algorithms we'd probably not ever have known who pewdie pie is and tbh we'd all be better off forgetting about him.

    I'm tired of people talking about the "responsibility of celebrities" - most of them are only there because they're shitty. The system filters for it.

  • That's apples to oranges. There's almost no elite trans athletes. Elite athlete times are very close vs somewhat average people playing lower level sports where you can get a large enough sample size of trans athletes to make statistics.

    You're not for fairness, you're for "fairness but only when trans people are involved"

    If somebody was like "oh we should have a separate league for people with breathing disorders" you wouldn't spend 1/1000 of the time on that question even though asthma affects a far larger percentage of the population and it is associated with what, 20% lower athletic outcomes?

  • There are a number of other genes linked to athletic outcomes that are way more influential than "12% above average". Steroid usage is rampant in top teir sports for instance and people with like genetic kidney conditions that overproduce some hormones have a far greater advantage.

    The people doing the sports should be making the rules about sports, not a bunch of armchair theorists with calipers. Most the guys who have A LOT OF OPINIONS on how to gatekeep womens sports don't actually watch any women's sports.

  • Let's take the obvious "Pro military for defense" first since that's the most insane thing to think is a contentious political issue.

    There are 30% of people in the US that think aliens are real and have visited their asshole but you will not find 5% of people in america that oppose the military as a concept.

    What you're doing here is being manipulated by people who want you to think some of these things are Important Issues(tm)

    The trans women in sports is a great example of propaganda. It was cooked up by a conservative think tank. How many people are affected by this "problem"? Maybe 200? And in most cases sports organizations themselves often have rules in place like "how long you'd have to have been on hormone therapy to qualify." That is already more or less a solved problem for most the people it actually affects. People playing sports didnt come up with the "trans people in sports issue", a think tank did.

    So what you are ..is manipulated by think tanks and propaganda and in a way that causes you to oppose people who otherwise have common interests with you.

    There's only two real political philosophies and they can be summed up as "fuck you, I got mine" and "we're all in this together." I will tell you right now only the "fuck you, I got mine" group has any real interest in dehumanizing people by say, having the government ban trans people from public spaces and public activities like sports.

  • You have a serious case of "didnt read the article" going on here. The deaths were already recorded - they were known and nobody was hiding the deaths. They were hiding the bodies.

    They pulled up the septic tank because there werent any graves for all the death certificates. This is improper burials. The reason there are so many deaths is likely just poor medical care as the article notes the place closed in the 1960s.

  • Every time he lies about vaccines you break one of his fingers and tell him lying is bad for his health.

    Jokes aside, ask him who his doctor is, call up his doctor on speaker and ask the doctor if they'd recommend vaccines. He is almost certainly lying to you because he thinks "you believe doctors, ergo I will lie and say a doctor supports my position in an attempt to manipulate you".

  • What is a country? A miserable pile of war crimes.

    Turning a habitable area full of innocent people into a pile of radioactive rubble and dying people why? Because fucking the Israeli government wants to genocide palestinians without resistance? Damn we fucking suck as a country
