The US swimmer Lia Thomas, who rose to global prominence after becoming the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA college title in March 2022, has lost a legal case against World Aquatics at the court of arbitration for sport – and with it any hopes of making next month’s Paris Olympics....

Probably AI. There’s probably a reddit comment out there joking about how Phelps is 14 feet tall.

U.S. company found liable of financing Colombian paramilitary death squad to advance its interests (www.latintimes.com)

A U.S. jury in Miami has ruled that Chiquita Brands International is liable for financing the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a paramilitary death squad designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. during Colombia’s civil war....

Moneo ,

The people responsible went to jail right?

Right?

Moneo ,

Colour me surprised, at least you greybeards have honour enough to spell some words correct.

Moneo ,

Same shit that happens with every climate protest. “Climate protestors deface painting” etc.

Moneo ,

Ah yes, feminism, an ideology that consists solely of extremist views. I’m not even well versed in feminism and I know that Andrea Dworkin is quite extreme and is a polarizing figure.

If you have reduced feminism to the views of a single extremist than you really need to get your shit together.

Cause I’d rather open an app then deal with an extra browser tab every time I want to use the site.

Moneo ,

How do I sacrifice my privacy by installing an app?

Moneo ,

Yes I find it convenient to press a tile on my home page and have it take me to an app instead of opening a tab in my browser. I’m not sure how this is undesirable.

Moneo ,

The point is that we already have tons of cities that are way too sprawly. Adding more cities is way harder than retrofitting the ones we have.

Moneo ,

Whataboutism?

Moneo ,

Autonomous cars really will be a fucking nightmare for traffic and I don’t think people understand this. Traffic is one of the biggest reducers of car trips, it’s why induced demand is a thing. People avoid trips if they don’t want to deal with the traffic and people pay for expensive parking to avoid driving around looking for a cheap spot.

Autonomous cars would enable so many trips that would otherwise be avoided. Don’t want to look for parking? Your car will do it. Don’t want to sit in traffic for 30 mins to get to the grocery store? You can watch youtube while your car drives you. Don’t want to take your kid to a friends house? The car will drive them.

EVs are not going to solve climate change and autonomous cars are not going to fix traffic. These problems are only solved by reducing car dependency and the faster people suck it up and accept that the faster we actually start working on solutions instead of tech bro nonsense that only solves the problem of how to concentrate even more wealth in the 0.1%.

Moneo ,

Double the wear n tear on the car, double the wear n tear on roads, double the traffic. yipeeeeee

Moneo ,

To be fair to OP, they really should’ve stopped advertising this as a feature years ago. It’d be like if sliced bread was still advertised as “Now sliced for your convenience!” or whatever.

Moneo ,

Drones are loud as fuck and have a host of other issues. People will fucking riot if they have to start listening to drones fly around all day.

An eco friendly option that actually makes sense is cargo bikes. Even land based drone delivery makes more sense than flying drones. This shit is probably never happening.

Moneo ,

lol

Moneo ,

5% on restaurants! Fees? Where does one get a card like this.

Moneo ,

Suspect would still be alive if they simply decided to stay home that day.

I’ll bite. Biological sex is real. When people say gender is a social construct they’re talking about everything that (traditionally) gets attached to being biologically female/male. Acceptable clothing, behaviour etc. Those are social constructs and if you disagree you likely haven’t thought about it hard enough. Different cultures put different expectations on gender so good luck trying to find any gender expectations that apply to all of them.

Framing gender as social construct is not the same as telling you masculinity or femininity don’t exist, or that you shouldn’t embody those traits if you want. It’s simply pointing out that our ideas on gender are social fabrications that feel real because of how ingrained they are into our culture and upbringing.

Being cis and embodying traditionally male/female traits is perfectly acceptable and nobody wants you to stop doing that. This conversation is about saying hey, not everyone feels comfortable with traditional gender constructs and that’s ok too.

Moneo ,

I agree with you but this doesn’t exactly counter their point. The scientific explanation for sex was not discovered until recently but the biological differences have been obvious since the dawn of time. Gender is a social construct yes, but it’s framed around real biological differences and ignoring that is… idk. Confusing and kind of irresponsible? The social constructs we’ve formed are heavily influenced by the biological differences between the sexes and you can’t just wave that away and expect people to understand what you’re saying.

Talking about gender being a social construct is honestly pretty mind bending, even if you are entering the conversation 100% open minded.

I really doubt ddos is affecting whatever crawling internet archive does, just blocking the public from viewing the website.

Should I permanently leave Israel?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

Moneo ,

Canada is on track to elect a populist conservative PM who is anti-trans, anti carbon tax and anti taxing the rich. Shit fucking sucks right now.

1,000 Harvard Students Walk Out of Commencement to Support 13 Seniors Barred from Graduation over Gaza (www.democracynow.org)

More than a thousand Harvard students walked out of their commencement ceremony yesterday to support 13 undergraduates who were barred from graduating after they participated in the Gaza solidarity encampment in Harvard Yard....

Dismissing youtubers for being youtubers reminds me of people who dismiss all animation because “cartoons are for kids” or whatever. When I think of “influencer” I think of an instagram model who pushes products on their followers. “Youtuber” includes many content creators who devote hours into researching, writing, filming, and editing high quality, entertaining, and educational content.

Jenny is on the low end of the spectrum in terms of basically all of those categories (I love her though), but channels like CaptainD, Contrapoints, Philosophy Tube and Folding Ideas create extremely high quality content that (in my opinion) surpasses educational content coming out of any studio.

tl;dr: Dismissing youtube channels as “influencers” is narrow minded and may prevent you from enjoying content you would otherwise find to be of extremely high quality.

Moneo ,

There’s absolutely no reason this video should be 4 hours long.

Jenny had 4 hours of stuff she wanted to say and her fans want to listen to it because they find it entertaining. Get a life nerd.

Moneo ,

I’ve read comprehensive scientific papers about years if proving hypothesis that could be finished in an hour

bahahahhaha

HEY EVERYONE, CHECK OUT HOW SMART THIS PERSON IS!!!

Moneo ,

lol

Moneo ,

but why?

Moneo ,

Is this true though? Don’t many liberals support Israel? Are there actual polls that show Biden would benefit from taking a stance against Israel? Genuinely asking.

Moneo ,

These threads are always interesting. On one hand, fuck capitalism and fuck corporations. Prices have fucking skyrocketed and it feels like we’re legitimately on the brink of some sort of economic collapse.

On the other hand, y’all really been eating out every day for lunch? That shit has always been many times more expensive than making your own lunch.

Moneo ,

Damn this was super informative and really well written.

Moneo ,

Am I the only one thinks his videos got stale after a while? Feels like the exact same video every single time but with different characters.

Moneo ,

OK. I hate to “defend” a terf but I don’t think that’s her point. JK doesn’t want to be black. She doesn’t think she should be allowed to change her race and she knows that most people agree with that. She thinks it’s an uno reverse card to go “ha! so how come you’re allowed to change your gender then?” as if race and gender are the exact same thing.

Anyways, congrats on your transition Queen.

Moneo ,

But muh free market

Moneo ,

Spending all that time and money setting up my homeserver is looking better and better every day…

Moneo ,

It’s all ones and zeroes factorio once you get to the bottom.

Anti-trans Pierre Pollievre? The same Pierre Pollievre who opposed a tax change only affecting the richest 0.13% of Canadians each year?

Moneo ,

To be fair in my experience manuals have almost always been next to useless.

Moneo ,

Is bar soap really considered old fashioned now?

Moneo ,

I appreciate this point of view but I refuse to have my limited time and energy wasted as a form of “payment”. Ads degrade the user experience of everything they touch and corporations don’t limit their ad use to “continue operations”, they push it as far as possible to suck as much money out of the product as they can.

The only “TV” I watch is hockey and it’s depressing watching the product get degraded year after year as they continue to shove as much advertising down our throats as possible in order to make more money. Fuck ads.

Moneo ,

They definitely push it. The mobile app has popups advertising it etc.

Moneo ,

You realize people watch youtube on computers not just phones right?

Moneo ,

13 yo me had so much trouble with SVN. Thanks for the flashbacks.
