I was gonna say.... things were looking pretty great today.

But that's not a method of killing someone, which was the only requirement of these options.

You refuse to read or provide anything to support your argument, which thus far is just that I'm a bigot... I think you are acting out your own prejudices.

The bigot here is probably you. Reflect on your behavior because if you think you are an ally to trans causes... I've got bad news for you...

If you just like reading your own opinions parroted back to you, I recommend just sticking to Microsoft Word.

Why even be on a social network?

Again, nothing I wrote is transphobic. You just don't understand how sports work. The only manner in which sports are segregated is women's sports. Any woman can play for the NBA if they are good enough. Any woman can play for MLB.

Women get their own leagues in sports because they wouldn't be present in professional sports at all if it was all a strict meritocracy.

This article of running explains a lot of the factors. I chose running specifically because it's a non impact sport where, presumably, the gender size differences would play less of a role.

Mens larger hearts let them oxygenate their blood faster, and their blood can hold 11% more oxygen. Recovery from injuries is quicker as well. A lot of these factors are a result of hormones present throughout their lives.

These are facts. What you make of those facts requires logic.

Now, reread what I wrote and cite back to me a single reference I made to trans people.

The post I responded to was stating that there is no reason to split sports by genders. I can tell you that without a doubt, there is a reason to provide women's sport leagues, and that reason is to prevent their wholesale exclusion from the competitive sport environment.

Depending on when a person transitions in their life, there could be gigantic physical advantages reaped. I don't think it's my role as a man to declare where the line of acceptable advantages is in women's leagues.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought, "AI hillbilly."

When picking a mind to emulate, it is just practical to start simple.

Hmmm, I didn't say anything transphobic, though. Just because you don't like what I said doesn't make me a bigot. Grow up.

No, it is typically the case that "men's sports" are actually open to anyone able to compete, and women's sports are just for women. There are very few sports where a professional female athlete can compete alongside professional male athletes.

I don't know how, but somehow, this will find some way to not work with dark skinned people. Every time we try some detection shit, it ends up being racist.

Is Jewish Elder a title, or are these just old jews putting on airs?

I do, too, but mostly because it makes me laugh. I especially like watching the dumpsters at work getting picked up and then dropped back down harshly and rolled back into the wall like someone throwing a shopping cart into a corral. Peak IDGAF with a potentially lethal machine. Not even sarcastic here, I love it.

I'm still trying to convince my wife that we can wait til our kid even asks to go to Disneyland before dropping that level of coin on a trip. I don't remember my early childhood trip to Disneyland, but I remember my early teen trip fondly.

I feel like that opens up the opportunity to say they experience rapid aging in that area as well, accelerating cell divisions, right next to areas running at normal speed. Probably wouldn't be great for the circulatory system.

It's fun to think about

Whoosh

This guy?

I like to imagine healing magic as almost a targeted time reversal. Otherwise, things get would get strange when people are overhealed.

My head cannon is also that repeated magical healing increases the risk of cancers and defects when it is shown as a form of natural regrowth. It's totally worth using in combat if the alternative is death, but you risk shortening your life with repeated use. This helps explain people having sick battle scars and other wounds in most fantasy settings.

The other explanation that would make sense is that healers are exceptionally rare, but since we are heroes in these stories/games, it just doesn't seem like it to us.

I agree entirely. 👍

We can blame whoever we want, but deaths are deaths. We can even go further and say that the deaths to user ratio makes the disparity even greater.

Hell, we could go completely nuts and say the stamp tax on tea and other goods leading up to the American Revolutionary War led to the creation of the United States, and therefore, all deaths resulting from the actions of the US could be blamed on caffeine.

LOL, definitely not, but I remember the 90s as well when every stoner wouldn't shut up about weed bringing anti carcinogenic. Weed kills people beside the user. It's still hugely safe, but bad decision-making under the influence of weed has probably killed more people than caffeine. You could argue the caffeine didn't kill them. Their other health condition did. The same way we could argue weed didn't kill anyone, but the drug trade did.

Chevy Bolt EV is $26.5k MSRP. Every dealer around me has it listed at $30k+

I don't know why the first example you give is a $70k car unless you were trying to push a narrative.

I stick to my belief that the dealerships are tanking the sales due to incompetence, on top of the inflation driving down sales for all cars ICE or EV right now.
