I know I'm gonna catch heat for this, but sex-segregated physical competitions is one of the very few places where trans women shouldn't be treated the same. Women's sports competitions aren't segregated by gender, they're segregated by sex. Trans women are women in gender, but their body isn't a biologically female body. That's the exact definition of transgender - when your body's biological sex doesn't match your sense of gender. So by definition, trans women don't have a biologically female body.

The whole point of sex-segregated sports is for people with female bodies to be able to have a fair competition, instead of them not even getting a chance to compete at all because if they had to compete against biological males then almost 100% of females wouldn't even make the team. This is the whole reason why sports competitions are segregated by sex.

TLDR trans women should always be treated as women - except for sex-segregated physical competitions

I would guess that none of those are "old world languages". Those would be on a completely separate tree.

Are you looking for an actual answer? From Wikipedia:

In April 2020, Harrelson made a post on Instagram promoting the conspiracy theory that claims a link between 5G networks and COVID-19, which was later deleted.[58] In May 2022, Harrelson said he "doesn't believe in the germ theory" and found the use of face masks as a preventative measure against COVID-19 to be "absurd", adding, "I'm sick of like, you're wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you'd die, you'd be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic]."

Latin is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.

We don't have to imagine it, humans are often just as awful to other humans

That's bullshit. Nyc has rent stabilized apartments and it's fucking fantastic. Not perfect of course, but really really good. Those apartments are highly sought after. The biggest problem is that there aren't remotely enough of them

Phones play movies. If they make the seatback system annoying then people will just stop using it and download movies from Netflix or wherever

He was my least favorite doctor by far

That's my exact point. Tesla's house of cards is about to fall and if elon leaves before it happens then idiots will say it crashed because he left, rather than the truth which is that he's the one who put it in that position of an inevitable fall. Though in 3 years i don't think it'll go bankrupt, it'll just be much worse off

They must've paid for themselves many times at this point, even considering that in 1992 they had a much higher price than it costs now

The catch is that Tesla has a bunch of problems that might cause the company to be in serious trouble soon, and if musk leaves before the company starts tanking then we'll have to hear endless bullshit from people about how musk was so great that he single handedly was what kept the company going.

Yup exactly. It's something like "hahd" but the end is extremely quiet, and the sound is like halfway between a t and d. Kind of like how French people say a final t at the end of a word like beret

This isn't true of anyone I've ever known, and i believe it isn't true for the majority of Americans. I believe it's a loudly vocal minority who get angry at people speaking other languages or barely speaking English

I have no info guess about this, but i strongly guess that the arpeggio sign goes to the left of a flat sign

This example doesn't work for me. I barely pronounce the "t" even when i just say the word "hot" by itself, so when i say "hot potato" i don't pronounce the t any differently.

Well yes, but also some areas have made walking or biking nearly impossible. There are places with no sidewalks, places where there's a giant road sitting between you and your destination with no way for pedestrians to get across it, etc. So yes, there are people who needlessly drive short distances, but often the problem is that an area was built in a way that makes non-driving travel methods hard, dangerous, or impossible

Sure, but OP worded their headline to sound like they were talking about the google payment system itself, which is not what this news is about

No, the standalone google pay APP is just having it's features transitioned into google wallet. Google payment services is totally unchanged.

Quote:

Anywhere you normally use Google Pay — from checking out online to tapping and paying in stores — remains the same. If you use your Android phone to shop in stores where Google Pay is accepted, you can continue to tap to pay in stores with the Google Wallet app.

This is cool, do you have a source?

If their constitution is anything like the United States Constitution and government, then one of the fundamental principals is that not every right is specifically enumerated in the law, meaning just because a thing isn't specifically listed as being a right doesn't mean it's necessarily not a right. Voting is obviously one of those things.
