  • If it's to prove a point then they won't pass the regulatory body, like when Ben Shapiro tried to get a bunch of mediocre male basketball players to pretend to transition to try to get them into a women's basketball tourney. It didn't work, because they were obviously not trans. It isn't even difficult to tell, because they obviously don't have the relationship with their gender trans people have. It would be hard to fake. And none of them were on hormones anyways so they wouldn't have qualified in the first place.

    Estrogen supplementation on a male mind will cause gender dysphoria, so I don't think they would be able to keep it up for very long. But say one does, why would they knowingly make themselves infertile with no benefit? I know I had to weigh fertility and HRT and only went with HRT because of the mental health benefits that come with it. A cis man pretending gets no benefit, but does get:

    • Infertility
    • Significant muscle mass loss (remember we are talking about male athletes, muscles are kinda their whole thing)
    • Gender dysphoria, as they are now taking the wrong hormones
  • Funny, did you catch the part where he projected that on Harris? He accused her of claiming to have never met Biden 😂

  • That is true.

    Did I miss the sarcasm or do you really think ANYONE would/could transition just for supposed gains in sports, let alone EVERYONE? They would have to take hormones that make them permanently infertile for over a year and proceed with a social transition all to convince a regulatory body that they are trans (and all of this would be incredibly difficult on their non-trans minds), and they would lose an incredible amount of muscle mass which typically athletes... Wouldn't want

  • Con: Literally every single professional athlete will become trans so they can win at sports.

    Please tell me I'm missing the sarcasm here 🙄🤦‍♀️

    What experts do you think are lying about trans people?

  • ...feeling very justified in my decision to pay $700 for the name brand automated litter machine

  • As an insult, yeah, but not if it's the original context like "stay woke"

  • All it would take is supplementing hormones at several points in development so that it develops its gonads and mind the other way.

  • Decky itself is fine, some plugins are buggy. If you install it and Junk-Store, you should be fine with no problems. I run like a dozen plugins and I only ever had problems with the UI customization ones: css, and animation changer. I uninstalled those and it's all passive now.

    I've only had problems with one game from Epic. The rest worked just fine with no tweaks

  • Reverse image search shows the image is over 5 years old (old r/funny thread about it) so not AI generated

  • Sure, it's a plugin through Decky. It allows you to log in to Epic and it displays your library in its separate window, allowing you to install them as Non-Steam Games. It's quite easy

  • Using Junk Store on my Steam Deck (and redeeming free games on the mobile website) to completely avoid the Epic Launcher 😎

  • Oh yes I see now:

    If you have the time, it appears a user in that issue is hoping for your permission to update a patch fixing this very issue!

    I can understand why it is low priority, but consider that it is outside of basic feature parity with Lemmy. In all other apps (that I have tried) as well as web based frontends (again, that I have tried) the display name is used everywhere.

    I for one selected my username in light of the fact that I would be able to edit the display name on Lemmy, and I find that including my pronouns (I recognize this is a niche use of the display name feature) is an easy and generally consistent way to limit confusion and frame conversations involving me.

  • That state of that bug is disappointing, I see now why it isn't implemented in this app. No worries, hopefully the Ionic team will prioritize it by the time Google replaces it with a brand new version lol

    Thanks for replying!

  • I imagine it would be just another theme option, not replacing anything else

  • Why? If it's American Propaganda, know that that is mainly financed by US social media because TikTok is doing so well. It isn't a Chinese propaganda machine despite what uninformed fools will tell you.

  • Not only that, the drawing of her in the first and last panels are the same with a few changes, and the guy is the same in all three panels he is in, just with an extra arm drawn in the final one.

  • Am I the only one that uses TikTok? It's that and Lemmy for me, nothing else. Oh, and infrequently reddit for the subreddit created for the city I live in
