Here's an NPR article interviewing a known geneticist and talking about Trans Athletes. Their general consensus is that there is a lack of data to make an assertion one way or the other for if trans athletes have an edge. And that's without taking into account the vast differences between each individual trans person and where they're at genetically/hormonally. Trans athletes aren't a monolith that are all the same, they can have fundamentally different circumstances and genetics between each person.
Honestly any automatic ban of trans-athletes is stupid. Michael Phelps has a natural genetic advantage when it comes to swimming, but no one of note is coming for his gold medals or saying he can't compete.
Pot of Greed yo
You're praising someone's dog getting killed illegally lol. I'd pity your family, but I'm sure they already distanced themselves from the disappointment that is you. Try not to lick any more boots today dipshit lmao
You made stuff up to justify police illegally detaining people and killing a dog; and I'm mentally unwell lmao. Bootlicker projection at its finest
You made up fiction to justify your own bootlicking tendencies, and they called you out on it. No one here thinks the person you're responding to is an idiot.
We are convinced you're a fucking moron though.
I'm not an expert on Star Wars lore, but I think it's to dehumanize them and add them to the greater force of the Empire. The Empire doesn't need individuals for its troopers, they need tools and pawns that will follow orders when given.
And since they're just pawns, typically recruited en masse, why even cash out for good armor when you can just mass produce the bear minimum for dirt cheap? That's my take anyways
I'll agree to that partially. Unless the proposal actually passes it's just the shitty legislating of another shitty government official.
I just wanted to point out the Russian States' history with women's rights; because it's not like these people gain power in a vacuum.
People who haven't read the article aside: I do not believe the Russian State member has women's best interest in mind with this proposal.
I imagine you're talking about this and every single member of "Mom's for Liberty" absolutely deserves it.
Gender is irrelevant, it's more the being an absolute shit stain on humanity by being bigoted and wanting to ban books part.
For full context, there was an event where several YouTubers/Online personalities met the pope. I couldn't say the specific reason for doing so, but during their visit each of the groups presented a gift. In MatPats case he gave the Pope a copy of Undertale.
Then a lot of people started to clown on MatPat for giving the Pope a copy of Undertale. He made a response defending his gift choice, and honestly it wasn't that weird of a gift. It's just funny to me personally because the situation is so low stakes but became a meme because of MatPat's response.
Everybody repeat after me: Thank you MatPat
Ok, so you're not going to address my points. Gotcha.
Yes, I was being hyperbolic. Ya'know, to point out that the destruction of US political parties have happened multiple times prior: even to the main two political parties. Would you like to talk on any of my actual points?
That's all very convenient rhetoric for you I'm sure, but you also fail to take into account that parties die off all the time. It wasn't always Democrats vs Republicans, there is a rich history of political parties in America.
I don't see how wishing for the destruction of Democrats is any different then those who wished to see the destruction of the Whig party towards the end of its days. They see an inferior political party and wish to see is destroyed and born again anew.
I don't see what shutting down that conversation does short of keeping the status quo. The same status quo that the far right is abusing in the US to enact their racist/transphobic/homophobic/bigoted bullshit.
The fact that you only see politics as a binary system where it's one party or the other is utterly asinine. There are political bodies and philosophies outside of US Republicans and Democrats. Being left leaning doesn't automatically mean liking or believing in the platform of the Democratic party.
They could liquidate their mountain of gold they've been hoarding and use it towards humanitarian efforts.
But they won't do that because that would require the Catholic church to actually help people.
Honestly you could get a griddle for your stove top and get a much safer, cleaner and overall better experience. Costs some money, but you could probably find one that would hold up for under $50
