Frozyre , in Out transgender woman athlete will make history as she competes in Paralympic Games

This is disrespectful.

Here's why. Does anyone even know what the paralympics even is? Looking from the comments below, I sincerely doubt they do.

The paralympics is basically "The Paralympic Games or Paralympics, also known as the Games of the Paralympiad, is a periodic series of international multisport events involving athletes with a range of disabilities."

So do you know what this is exactly saying? This is saying that Transgenderism is a disability. That is giving more ammo to all of the bigots out there who've been crying about how Transgenderism is just a choice and that it's all wrong .etc

I cannot say that I'm fully in support of this. I would've been more proud if a Transgender individual made it to the Olympics and was breaking ground for their group. But no, this is them being in the backburners of society for pity points.

Absolutely disgraceful.

i mean. read the article maybe?

Petrillo, 50, was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a degenerative condition of the eyes, at the age of 14. She competes in the women’s T12 category for athletes with a visual impairment.

Frozyre ,

I did read the article. Now did you see what the headline read? Why don't you go bitch at them. Or don't and be a spitful downvoting piece of trash.

The headline was to show a groundbreaking event. If she were the first black woman to compete in the Paralympics, that is what the headline would say. And no one, save maybe you, would think that meant being black was a disability.

bitchkat ,

If you didn’t read it as Transgender woman (with some kind of disability) competing in Paralynpixs" then that’s a you problem.

TrickDacy ,

Good bot. Fuck the haters.

ayyy ,

Do you even know who Bloomberg is?

TrickDacy ,

Yep. I guess if some bias exists, the MBFC should completely discredit the source entirely.

ayyy ,

That’s not what I’m saying. The whole point is that they are just supposed to identify the kind of bias. Bloomberg is decidedly not left of center by any definition. He literally got physically laughed out of the Democratic Party last time he tried to weasel his way in with unprecedented spending.

TrickDacy ,

As many have pointed out, they have a publicly available method for determining bias. The method is not “look at who owns it and make a snap judgement”

ayyy ,

Yup and that same public methodology calls the Associated Press and Reuters lefty. They clearly just want to propagandize by shifting the Overton Window to the right with a thin veneer of “science” and a side of “y wont u debate me bro”.

TrickDacy ,

Or… shocking idea, the united states is far more conservative than most people on lemmy want it to be.

ayyy ,

Is that why they keep losing every popular vote and rely so heavily on gerrymandering and voter suppression?

Edit: also way to admit the reason that you like the bot is because it’s got a conservative agenda.

TrickDacy ,

… wtf. Literally nothing about this makes sense. Especially this weird shit:

way to admit the reason that you like the bot is because it’s got a conservative agenda.

I implied the US is too conservative, that means, what, I am a trumper? Don’t comment if you have no fucking idea what’s being said.

Hint, I am on Lemmy. You entirely made shit up in your head about what was implied by my statement

I like the bot because it’s a decent attempt at calling out misinformation automatically. You hate it because you personally disagree with the formula and therefore assume it’s a conspiracy.

TrickDacy ,

Coward

fubarx , in 2 former police officers and 2 military veterans accused of staging sham raid to extort nearly $37 million from California man

This reads like the plot of a Jackie Chan comedy.

But why wasn’t the partner who paid for all this indicted?

The victim was not identified by name, and neither was his business partner, a woman who was identified only as unindicted co-conspirator 1, a “wealthy Chinese national,” the U.S. attorney’s office said.

SnotFlickerman , in When Is “Recyclable” Not Really Recyclable? When the Plastics Industry Gets to Define What the Word Means.
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Because by it’s very nature, recycling always costs more than first-round-use products. It takes more energy and more time to recycle goods into something else.

Further, it’s a misnomer, because many, many, many, many plastics flat out cannot be recycled into anything else no matter how much we wish it so.

Cosmonauticus ,

Which I why it goes REDUCE, REUSE, recycle.

catloaf ,

Not always. Aluminum takes a lot of energy to extract from bauxite, but not nearly as much to recycle.

ch00f ,

I was surprised to learn this when driving by an aluminum refinery adjacent to a hydroelectric dam in Washington State.

It uses so much power that it’s more efficient to move the ore to where the electricity is.
