  • Your whole take is so much transphobic bullshit.

    Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, I guess. I feel I've done everything possible to disprove that, and at this point if you still hold that position than nothing can change your mind because you're reacting emotionally to the problem, and that's never--not once in the history of mankind--solved any of our problems.

  • Wait so it’s not okay for universities to segregate students based on race

    Go ahead and point out at any time where that was said by anyone but you.

    You've somehow gotten it into your head that I'm anti-trans, or supporting anti-trans, which is stupid. I'm a civil rights activist. I advocate for people's rights--and I understand that you don't "give" people rights. You have to make people realize who think that group of people don't have rights that they actually do. And you can't get to that point by saying "your rights don't matter here" and letting universities do the same.

    For you to have rights, xenophobics and transphobics have to have rights. For you to express your opinion, you have to be willing to let the xenophobics and transphobics have their pullpit, too. That's the way it works. You are free to say "their opinion doesn't matter!" but you're not winning any hearts and minds and least of all not winning any court cases with that attitude.

    Every single reply I've had in this thread is an emotional response because people seem to be under the very mistaken impression that I'm anti-trans or advocating for anti-trans rhetoric, and that's simply not true. I'm advocating for all rights, not just trans rights. People are empowered by the constitution to be racist in the same way they're empowered by the constitution to be trans. You don't get to pick and choose and that's always--literally 100% of the time--worth pointing out. Ultimately it needs to be up to the students to be okay with trans or not be okay with trans. Institutions shouldn't be involved at all.

    That's the reasonable discourse of a democracy.

  • Segregating people for political gain is fucking evil.

    I totally agree. But not everyone feels the same.

    You don’t stop bullies by giving them what they want.

    You also don't stop them by saying "your disgusting and your opinion doesn't matter."

    Everything you're saying here is an emotional response to this issue. You're not helping anyone, you're not objectively looking at the problem. You just want to curtail the rights of those you don't agree with and bolster those that you do. And that's dangerous because it's exactly what the trans hating people want to do too, but somehow it's right for you to do but bad for them to do it in your eyes when in fact its wrong for both of you to do...

  • That’s literally not standing up for rights.

    Yes it is. You can't "stand up for rights" by infringing on another's rights.

    Their rights don’t extend to dictating who else can play sports

    They’re not dictating who can play sports any more than they always have. There’s already a female league, which inherently means men can’t participate. Are you going to argue that having a women’s league is against the law or discriminatory in the first place? If that’s your stance, then you’re essentially agreeing with me that universities should transition from a gender-based system to an open, non-gendered system to be inclusive for all students--not just those who fit into clear, traditional gender roles. By doing that, literally no one would have any room to complain about transgender inclusion. It’s the obvious solution to everyone’s issues, but as a society, we’re so fixated on who has a penis and who has a vagina that we’re completely overlooking the simplicity and fairness of this approach. The best part is that it doesn't infringe on anyone's rights in the process...everyone is equal, everyone can participate and play, no one is excluded.

    Fucking lol, wall-of-text-man who still couldn’t explain precisely why he won’t answer the parallel question and has been universally down-voted since he explained his position enough to make the transphobia evident. Hopefully someday you’ll be embarrassed of your present self.

    It’s almost as if people are free to have their own opinions about things, even when those opinions don’t align with the majority. Strange, right? Populism doesn’t bother me—it’s just the system functioning as it should. Frankly, I’m not impressed when someone holds the exact same opinion as a dozen or so random people on the internet. The fact that you think that’s how it should be is... odd to me. The way you feel things ought to be and the way they actually are will almost always differ. The reality is that even students who hold racist, sexist, xenophobic, or transphobic views also have rights, and you can’t trample on theirs without opening the door for everyone's rights to be trampled on.

    You can’t protect rights by taking them away from others. That’s not protecting rights--it's just making yourself feel morally superior. It would be fantastic if trans individuals could compete without anyone having an issue with it. I’d fully support that. But that’s not the reality we live in, and denying that reality doesn't help anyone, least of all trans students. Sitting behind your keyboard and declaring, "Things should be this way!"--even when that approach grants rights to one group by stripping them from another--helps absolutely no one. Using the justification of "haha, he’s getting downvoted, so that means I’m right!" is just plain silly. Sure, it might be an unpopular opinion, but that doesn’t determine whether it's objectively true or not. Truth isn’t decided by popularity.


    EDIT:

    Fucking lol, wall-of-text-man

    It's almost like this is a serious issue and deserves more than 140 characters. Why you think that's a bad thing is pretty fucked up. You're not the advocate you think that you are here.

  • And you do know that countries come together to vote on what a "human right" is, right? Because it doesn't seem like it. What a human right is, and what you seem to think it is, are two entirely different things.

  • Even without install permissions, as a non-root user you can grab binaries generally. Store them in ~/.local/bin and add them to your $PATH via ~/.bashrc.

    I've been using bin for a few weeks now and find it great for situations like this. Grab the binary, put it in your $PATH. Then just grab binaries from Github; bin install github.com/sharkdp/fd and it plops the binary in your ~/.local/bin folder. Works for updates, too;

  • Maybe I'm a foagie, but this method is still pretty great.

    1. setup rclone sync with one way sync from seedbox to network storage
    2. download torrent with seedbox
    3. seedbox automatically syncs with network storage
    4. use tiny media manager to format metadata and move from sync folder to media library folder
    5. purge torrent

    It's mostly automatic. Only thing I have to do is add the torrents and purge the torrents, because everything else runs on a schedule. Why break what isn't broken.

  • Since you won't acknowledge your red herring even after it being specifically pointed out I just have to operate under the assumption that you're being disingenuous purposefully. Since no discourse can even be had here because that's not your intention to begin with, why would I continue this?

    It's pretty obvious that you disagree, and that's fine. I'll flip the script and shoot you a non-red herring in return but I'm really not going to bother responding, because I don't feel like you're here for any reason other than to wag your finger on your high horse at others perfectly reasonable opinions;

    Do you believe that UPenn has the right to expel students who protest the war in Gaza? Can they unilaterally stand up and say "any student who protests genocide is expelled."

    I think that would be pretty fucked up. Hopefully you would, too. Which is why I think it's best that Universities should be protecting the rights of all their students and not get involved directly in politics. They need to stand up for their trans students, but they also need to be there for their student athletes who have no personal objections to trans students, but don't think its fair they get to compete in sports which are not for their birth gender. Which is a perfectly reasonable objection. Some of these women athletes work their entire lives to be seen by professional recruiters and if they're outshined by controversy from trans athletes and the debate of whether or not they should even be there in the first place they could be passed up for entire careers. All things considered, they're not crazy to give pause...and why Universities should have non-gendered leagues for sports where anyone can play regardless of gender. Why we reduce sports to male and female is so fucking stupid to begin with and such a stupid thing to fight over.

    It's a complicated issue with no black or white line. And you pretending like there is either wholeheartedly proves your mental immaturity to not be able to see other's point of views at best, and at worse confirms your ignorance beyond any reasonable doubt.

  • Because of US financial laws the virtual card numbers are prefixed as prepaid cards. So in certain situations you're going to have friction where the merchant you're dealing with isn't able to, or can't use prepaid cards.

  • Again, this is a nomenclature thing.

    You're correct. mmW exclusively deals with the frequency range of the Gen5 network. But Gen5 networks are branded as 5G. mmW is branded as 5G. Gen5 over 4G LTE is branded as 5G...

  • Because a lot of the reason that child sexual abuse is so horrific and wrong has to do with their developmental age and understanding of what’s happening and ability to give consent.

    And not once in any of my replies do I denounce this, refute it, or even disagree with it. You an I both agree that violence, including sexual violence, against children or the developmentally disabled is repugnant to a degree that I don't even possess the powers of speech to adequately express. But that's not what's being discussed here. What is being discussed here is whether or not thought crimes should be illegal--which is what this is. It's a thought crime.

    I don't agree with people using AI to create porn of those with developmental disabilities. I'm not advocating for it or defending it. But in our system of law there has to be a victim of a crime for an action to be called a crime. Since there is no victim--as AI "influencers" aren't protected by law as they're not real--you can't charge these people with crimes. That's an objective truth, and its important that things stay that way because it won't be long that we're prosecuting XXX for XXX because of XXX, because XXX is President and XXX doesn't like XXX behavior.
