  • The disc copy of Fallout 3 will not install on new windows due to games for windows no longer working. At least last time I tried to install it that was the case.

  • I mean, both have toxic stupid people, but Reddit does still have way more niche communities and activity. I still rarely go back to Reddit, and mostly chill on lemmy.ca, but it is missing many subreddits I liked.

  • Testosterone is a hell of a lot of the explanation though. When people inject more testosterone they get a hell of a boost to muscle development and strength.

    Although past sexual selection may have led to women being smaller and having less testosterone and ability to develop muscle mass, it does not change that women are indeed smaller and have less testosterone and ability to gain muscle mass than men, leading to the average woman being slower and physically weaker than the average man. My replies have been directed at the assertion earlier that men only hold records because of outliers, and the average man and woman are close in strength and speed, but that is just not true.

  • Yeah, I switched instances pretty quickly.

  • I started getting the 5 second delay 2 weeks ago as well. Started out of nowhere and I thought it was my connection at first, but nope, only YouTube has this issue for me, and only in Firefox.

  • I was wondering why YouTube started taking a while to load pages in the last couple weeks. Fucking Google, pulling this shit.

  • It's nothing compared to testosterone.

    For example I am an average height and weight guy. I had never gone to a gym in my life, but at 25 decided to start powerlifting with some friends for fun. Within 3 months I was already lifting nearly as much as the world record lifts by women in my weight class.

    I started going to my university powerlifting competitions, having lifted for less than a year, and was definitely lifting poorly compared to the other men, but I out-lifted every woman there most of whom had been training for years.

    I don't think you understand the average difference in strength between men and women, it's rather large.

  • No, that attack was confirmed to be Islamic Jihadists, and it was confirmed Hamas lied.

    And your forgetting all the heinous shit Palestine did to make Israel like it is today, like trying to wipe out all the Jews as soon as Israel was formed, launching another war against them in 1967, 30 years of having a government that wanted Israel wiped out as their second charter.

    There are no good guys, but Hamas are terrorists and need to be wiped out.

  • Most independent sources I've seen reporting on numbers have been Palestinians. The UN is not reporting on casualties because it cannot verify any of the claimed numbers.

    And Hamas lied about 500 Palestinians being killed in one attack on a hospital by Israel, except it turned out that attack was actually Islamic Jihadists misfiring, and nowhere near 500 people died.

    Hamas verifiably made up that 5% of the casualties in this war, so no, you shouldn't believe the rest of their numbers.

    And Hamas has fired thousands of rockets into Israeli territory since Oct. 7th, that goes beyond defending yourself in a hospital.

    And the bombing and siege warfare started after Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand civilians, and fired thousands of rockets at Israeli cities.

  • There is video of weapons fire coming from hospitals, so we do have that.

    And Hamas is constantly lying too, yet everyone on this site seems to eat up everything they say.

  • You should be anti-IDF and anti-Netanyahu. There are plenty of innocents in Israel who do not want to conquer Palestine.

  • Always looks for the giant lip piercings. Can't think of anyone else who has those.

  • If you took some theoretical "average" man and some theoretical "average" woman I think they'd probably be a lot closer in terms of strength and stamina

    They would not. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

    The difference between the average man and the average woman is the same as the difference between a man who's been taking steroids since he was 12, and an average man.

  • If men can keep up a faster pace for over 100 kms, then they can sustain exertion for more than long enough.

    The paper someone else posted showed that women start to lose pace in a marathon later than men, but men start out so much faster, and over the course of an ultra-marathon men still keep up a faster pace the whole distance.

  • Whether the hospital was used as a base or not, presumably Hamas would take as much of their stuff out of it as possible when they retreated from it.

  • the only physical sport activity they women excel at is ultra marathons

    And men still have much better record times at every ultra-marathon distance. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

  • I mean, it's also unlikely to be true. The difference between male and female bodies is the equivalent of years of high end steroid use.

    If you wouldn't let a man who had taken steroids for a decade and still takes them compete with other men, then you already acknowledge the biological advantage men have over women at physical sports.

  • More likely to slow from their original pace, but they still finish much faster.

    And men have much better ultra-marathon records than women as well.

  • Why would anyone need to cope with the value of individuals in pre-civilization society

    Limited resources, and the need to deal with predators.
