With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play....

Delphia ,

Women (and trans women) naturally carry a higher body fat percentage than men (Incl trans men) a “male” athlete can more safely and more easily carry a lower body fat % and therefore more muscle per kilo. So the weight classes wouldnt be able to be 1:1 if you wanted a level playing field.

There is still the inherent biological advantage in being born male and going through male puberty and developing a male muscular/skeletal system before transitioning. Very difficult to rule around every nuance of this though.

Delphia ,

Its a case by case basis. Local news is probably a “yeah ok” or a niche hobby website that isnt an AI generated thinly veiled excuse for amazon affiliate links.

National organisation that still puts most of their shit behind a paywall and bombards me with bullshit. LOL, fuck off.

Delphia ,

Have a look into E-Bikes, theres a great Micromobility community on Lemmy.

My dad has one with saddlebags and says its more like owning a small motorbike. Sure he has to pedal but he never has to pedal hard. If you’re worried about looking like a dork Mercedes make ones that look cool AF.

cargo bikes are getting really practical if thats your bigger worry.

Buy a good lock and put an air tag on it though.

Delphia ,

I like the idea of an E-bike but it just wouldnt be practical in my life at the moment. But its a pretty good community, generally stays on topic and doesnt degenerate into arguments.

Delphia ,

Id say the one thing I kind of disagree with here is the emails. If I’m at my computer and the email says “Are you able to handle this 15 minute job for me by EOD?” I respond immediately “Yeah, I can fit that in.” and then go back to whatever it was I was doing and handle it later.

If someone is asking me to do a big job I dont reply immediately and go do some prep work for the big job and email them an hour later. “Not a problem, Ill get on it ASAP.”

If you respond and get tasks done immediately sometimes it makes them think you must be in the middle of something when you dont. When someone gives you a big task that will take 4 hours and they check in on you 3 hours after you reply to the email and you’re almost finished, it puffs up your ability.

But in general I agree, responding to emails is a great tool for managing perceptions and expectations.

Delphia ,

I worked with a guy that if he slept in or ran late for work tossed his gym gear on instead of his work clothes and ran into the office apologising and went to the bathroom to get changed.

People thought that he was a fitness NUT and he always stayed back to make up the time so he was called dedicated. In truth I knew he trained after work and regularly stayed up mega late playing COD and slept through his alarm.

Delphia ,

Id say the arrest came as a response to the drink driving more than the being drunk at work. Sounds like she was smart enough to shut the fuck up and lawyer up.

She was drunk at work, her car was at work but unless you give them any more information than that the burden of proof is on them. If you admit that you hadnt had anything to drink since last night and literally anyone saw you driving to work BAM they have you. But “I want a lawyer” and say nothing else and they have to prove you didnt pound a water bottle of vodka in the carpark.

This is your friendly reminder to shut the fuck up when being questioned.

Delphia ,

Go pester Link ya judgemental fuck.

Delphia ,

I dont mind the subscription for the retro catalogue, but expand the fucking catalogue already. It shouldnt be as limited as it is.

Delphia ,

I watch BBC panel shows. QI, 8 out of 10 cats, 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, Would I lie to you, Mock the Week, etc.

Delphia ,

Chewing nicotine gum.

Havent had a smoke in years but trying to give the gum up means I turn into a raging asshole.

Delphia ,

No way, Ive been on the antidepressant merry-go-round before. They were not a pleasant experience for me.

Delphia ,

I cant wait to jump on Amazon and order my net launcher.

Delphia ,

The problem with that (from a country that has a govt funded channel with news programs) is that if they start being overly critical of a political party when that party gets in they reduce funding.

Delphia ,

I mean, I’m only reading the quotes and its laughably offensive. Like if you told me that was a sketch written by great comedy writers depicting an absolutely terrible comedian doing a bit Id say they went too far down stupid lane. Its so nuts it sounds like a parody.

Wouldnt it be amusing if everyone jumped on his facebook and asked him to review the Tec-9. I’m sure his depiction of what he thinks the average user of that gun would look and sound like wouldnt be at all horrifying.

Delphia ,

Good breakdown.

Ive explained it to people as "On the grand scheme of entertainment, its insane and not very good. On the scale of “indie films made on a $0 budget” its better than it has any right to be and for what it is, which is an animated science fiction war movie with no dialogue made in an ex soviet country on a pc by one guy its a fucking masterpiece. "

Delphia ,

Dont be fishist man! How dare you assume his species. If he identifies as a salmon its fine, so long as he doesnt swim up my stream to spawn I’m fine with it.

Delphia , (edited )

Lemmy: Man fuck housing developers!

Also Lemmy: Man I cant find a house!

Edit: Yes affordability is the problem, but if demand keeps outrunning supply the situation will NEVER improve. The only way landlords will start to bring their prices down is when the tenant is the one with options.

Delphia ,

If we dont build more demand will just keep outstripping supply more and more.

Delphia ,

So they are building these for the fun of it?

The more houses built the better supply gets, the better supply gets the more prices will drop. Every one of these thats built and someone in the inner city scrapes together the cash to buy in suburbia frees up an apartment.

Delphia ,

The thing is Lemmy is a pretty terrible cross section of society. Theres plenty of people in inner city apartments with solid careers who are fed the fuck up with living in an overpriced shoebox when they could buy a house in the suburbs, but those are overpriced too.

The more affordable all types of housing get the more everyone benefits, more supply is the only way to counter more demand.

Delphia ,

Thats a seperate part of the same problem. They already have private buyers beat on buying power, less supply doesnt hurt them at all.

Delphia ,

You can do both you know, its not an either or situation.

Delphia ,

You want carnage? Can we please feed it the entire history of 4chan?

Delphia ,

Googles “Suicide help line”

Google: “Do it Fa**ot”

Delphia ,

Yeah but the comments were usually kind of a shitshow.

Delphia ,

I think you’re absolutely right. Personally I see the next big switch will be to handhelds. The ability to just pick my switch up and take it wherever I’m going is the primary reason I own it. They will do the premium one with the screen and controls and the “lite” edition will need a tv.

I wouldnt be surprised if MS and Sony eventually step out of the hardware game either entirely or mostly and simply licence out a “Playstation phase # compatable” certification to others (that you need a PSN subscription to use) so you know that that Steam Deck/MSI whatever/Asus handheld will play anything from the X generation of playstation titles or older available.

Delphia ,

Only 1?

I used to race alot, by my count Ive bent 6 cars into a nonfunctional condition.

Delphia ,

Now someone much smarter than I can do the math, but over a long enough distance with a shallow enough incline on a ramp I dont see why it couldnt be done.

The math might mean the scale of the ramp makes the idea completely unrealistic to build. But I dont see why it wouldnt work.

Delphia ,

What does that even mean? Yes, this is a question of physics.

Delphia ,

Re-read the comment. “Physics has entered the chat” Its neither a yes or a no that its possible.

Im sure you could accellerate a person gradually enough over a long enough distance in a sufficient vehicle to launch them into space. Wether its practical or if we have the tech yet isnt “physics”…

Delphia ,

You’re right. Everythings fucked, why try at all lets just roll over and take it.

Delphia ,

Fuck Tunisia, all my homies hate Tunisia.

Delphia ,

Why steal, sell the goods and go to a dealer and buy oxycodone when I can volunteer here and just steal Oxy.

Delphia ,

You dont need to be an expert.

People have no idea about the complexity and scale of the world. Just how complicated the logistics chain for something like Kentucky Fried Chicken is… “hOw DoEs A cHiCkEn ShoP rUn OuT oF ChIcKeN!?!”

Like… real fucking easy.

Delphia ,

As much as this is a fucking privacy nightmare, if it were an Opt-in only service it could be a godsend for the vulnerable and elderly.

Delphia ,

I mean, I do know girls who dated an endless string of painfully handsome guys who spent all their free time in the gym and taking selfies only to find out that they were shallower than a mud puddle and couldnt keep their dick in their pants.

But kept doing it.

Delphia ,

Theres a newish neighbourhood near me with a high percentage of reasonably cashed up retired people… nice houses with 2 car garages on small blocks. Every other house has a caravan or a boat and they almost all park them on the street.

Some of the streets have been effectively reduced to one lane in both directions, sure its legal but its a giant pain in the balls to get around.

Delphia ,

Yeah, Ill just tell the whole suburb that they dont get any services from the city anymore. Not a problem champ.

Delphia ,

Even fast food restaraunts in airports pay a higher hourly rate to compensate the staff for the added pain in the balls for getting to work.

Delphia ,

I believe that there is probably a huge list of others who should be in there with him and that its entirely possible that he was made an example of more than might have been legally necessary.

Theres been a lot of dodgy shit, outright fraud and scams attached to crypto that its not outside the realms of possibility that they wanted him nailed to the wall to send a message.

ASUS Scammed Us (www.youtube.com)

This undercover warranty investigation is a one-year follow-up from our series that investigated ASUS for motherboards incinerating AMD CPUs, at the end of which ASUS promised a number of improvements to its then-anti-consumer warranty processes. Spoiler alert: They’re still anti-consumer. We sent our ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme...

Delphia ,

From what I heard Asrock became a joke quality wise and got the shits about being the lowest quality mainstream manufacturer and did something about it.

Delphia ,

While I dont necessarily agree, I do agree that petty theft affects regular people all the damn time, you cant do anything about it or you can catch an assault charge, the cops cant or wont do anything about it either so you just have to accept that sometimes people are going to take your shit and nothing is going to happen.

It would be nice to know those people get their comeuppance from time to time.

Delphia ,

At least that feels sort of organic.

Theres a classy (well… less sleazy) way to do it. if EA want to make the billboards in the next Need for Speed game real advertisements it wouldnt feel as bad as unskippable 30 second video advertisements before each race.

The problem is they will do both.

Delphia ,

Michael Jackson young, R Kelly young or Leonardo DiCaprio young?

Delphia ,

So people cant access “unrated” 18+ content they found on Google and then have people get mad that the content was NSFW or restricted.

Its essentially a “We dont know what your going to find here and dont want lawsuits” protection.

Delphia ,

Dude did a reverse image search, checked out facebook and insta messaged her “Hey my buddy Anon wont shut the fuck up about how amazing you are but doesnt want to ruin the work relationship by asking you out. So please…”

Delphia ,

I automatically assume everything from 4chan is total and utter horseshit, but its fun to play along because otherwise what the fuck are we even doing here?
