I'm happy for you, but I don't share that optimism. Biden is a self-proclaimed capitalist, he's let ICE and the IDF keep doing their horrible crimes, certainly doesn't give a fuck about COVID, and time has practically ran out in regards to the climate situation...
Christmas is so conservative, it's capitalist, deceitful and alienating. Literally a textbook example of why conservatism is bad - we should be giving gifts and showing appreciation to each other all year! Also, yeah sorry no interest in a lobotomy, thanks
Not where I live, 9/10 are playing that 24/7 and the best I can really hope for otherwise is a Pink Floyd single. Also I'm a pagan who doesn't believe in a heavily revised book of total hodgepodge so I hate having it shoved in my face. Which is inevitable working in a coffeeshop...
I've been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it...
I have to disagree strongly with that first part, but of course that's what they want people across the world to think- there is very little room for leftists in practice.
The electoral college decides who takes office. I vote third party because the popular vote doesn't mean shit (in most states iirc) and I want to do my part to show, statistically, that the democrats need to move left. We can't have two far-right parties in control of this country, and so long as they're running with Biden that's what they are.
It's not fine, no I bet you it's cia funded or something to have such a big presence online. Tankies are surprisingly uncommon IRL in my experience. Maybe increasingly so, but it's still hard to deny it as a threat to real leftism.
Raddle.me seems much more levelheaded if anybody's looking for a explicitly anti-authoritarian alternative
Well, this is a social media site and one for nerds at that, if you can't handle some real-world news or discourse you should probably block those instances and communities. Those features exist for a reason lol.
Yeah this is exactly what a world where toxic masculinity is empowered looks like. We really just expect half the population to never display emotion and that's robbed the world of so much richness and color.
Because trans people are their gender, and because intersex and nonbinary people exist too and we all deserve to have access to the same opportunities as others. That means the big, televised sports too.
Gendered divisions don't give cis women a fair chance at a national platform either, comparatively and oftentimes unduly sexualize the players.
If you want any given game to be fair every single team should have a certain distribution among height/weight classes if not among genders as well. There is no reason I see most sports can't be coed either if this is practiced. It's almost like it was never about fairness in the first place... 🤔
Says who? Why segregate sports in the first place? Why can't they just exist for the sole purpose of fun? Does it really matter if trans people have a advantage? Are you that afraid of trans people succeeding? Is any of this really enough to justify dehumanizing trans+intersex people and shunting them out of another public space?
Capitalism ruining good things, as always. In the case of trans men on testosterone, though, who cares? I feel like that just levels the playing field for them generally. And as a trans woman? Estrogen has fucked up my body's ability to build muscle if anything. These arguments all boil down to excuses.
Oh I'm american I barely know what cricket is tbqh. I just hate how people like me are being discriminated against and excluded from healthy, mainstream pursuits like this especially. Pretty much the holy grail of trans representation because it's the most dangerous-to-conservative-sensibilities kind of visibility we could have. Like, gods forbid fit trans people do something so normal on TV
It's especially frustrating as someone who needs cannabis for severe anxiety, because it's anxiety inducing in itself to have to hide it and that pretty much cancels out the benefits for me- it's something we absolutely need to destigmatize at work especially.
Fuck this. Sports are games, they shouldn't be taken this seriously. Like, for example, Micheal Phelps has webbed feet and freaky monster lungs but nobody's banned him from swimming events for that. Every human is different, people need to fucking accept that sports can never be totally fair and realize that's not what this is about.
