HRT doesnt level the playing field for benefits gained due to “doping” or “Y-chromosome” development.

Sports should have “XX-chromosome” category i.e. Female/Women sports. And “XY-chromosome” category i.e. Male/Men sports.

And if there are sufficient participants, an “All-Gender” category i.e. Open/Neutral sports.

There is no need to co-opt or include ambiguous situations. Sports should be fair, equal-opportunity and intensely competitive within their segments.

maniii ,

It sucks that everything these days get politically and ideologically bent out of shape. I just want to enjoy sports without all the hoopla and co-opting.

Just too excited waiting for the Paris 2024 to start, hopefully there will be less controversy and more human moments in sports.

Keep Being a Good Human and Calmly Carry On Being Excellent to One Another !

:-D

maniii ,

Very interesting

maniii ,

:smh: If you have to split hairs what is “Human” I cannot help you. Be Awesome or don’t it is eventually every persons choice to act or not act.

maniii ,

Any sports that is competitive requires testing to ensure that no one cheats or has an unfair advantage. If you are against testing in sports, then sports is not what you are looking for.

An Open participant category would solve almost every problem. Only the best of the best will win.

Traditionally, “Women” ( biological XX-chromosome Homo-sapiens ) had their own category due to their inherent physical weakness compared to “Men” ( biological XY-chromosome Homo-sapiens ) in almost every physical category. This allowed “Women” to compete on their own “safe” “fair” “even” “fair” playing field separate from “Men”.

If you want a sports category “Trans-Woman” or “Trans-Man” or “Trans-any / Non-Binary” PLEASE GO FOR IT ! I am not saying anyone should be excluded from sports. But there are reasons that categories exist in sporting events. Be constructive or don’t it is your choice.

Due to DNC and Biden inaction and corruption there is a massive enough majority who will set the world on fire and watch as it all burns down.

When Drumpf wins Nov2024 you will know who to blame for this fiasco. And it will be too little too late. Start planning for a mass exodus to Mexico or Canada.

When a large enough brain-drain happens, there is a direct national impact. So if enough sensible people leave after Nov2024, there will be enough stagnation and consequences that most govt operations should grind to almost non-existence. Come Nov2028 if y’all 'Muricans foreign or domestic can’t take back the govt with absolute majorities, forget about it all for the next 50 years. Once enough SCOTUS replacement happens, maybe, maybe there will be a chance to cleanup all the damage and pickup the pieces.

I think there is a lesson in there about adultery being very bad or something.

maniii ,

As long as they cut down their base by 1/10th I think the statement is accurate!

maniii ,

I read somewhere that Berkshire Hathaway HFT algorithm was to blame for the “glitch”.

maniii ,

Im on openSuse Leap 15.5 and I moved to Pipewire back when I had 15.3 I believe. I had that issue where all output devices/input devices got smashed together. I stuck with it for couple of months and I believe the later versions fixed that. Now I am painfree and never bother with audio ever again. I used to have frequent pulseaudio crashes which is why I switched over to pipewire.

maniii ,

To this day I still prefer Xorg server. I dont want to ever switch over to wayland no matter what features it is supposed to bring.

In a similar line, I wish I could go back to SysVInit but all the major and enterprise distros are running systemd hell.

maniii ,

I got the smallpox vaccine, so I went through that. Hence my immunity to other cowpox, chickenpox etc.

Varicella-Zoster Virus (Chickenpox) is linked to lifelong shingles flareups decades later and cannot be eliminated.

A LOT of people seem ignorant about this recent medical fact. Its important and get vaccinated!

maniii ,

That too NT 5.x ! I wish we had stuck with Windows 2000 Professional.

maniii ,

Now only to be found on LG TVs. :-(

maniii ,

I wish Nokia N900 / N950 with Maemo or Meego OS. And full opensource, full MPL or MIT licensed.

I truly wish SailfishOS could be that replacement but I’ve been burnt too many times already.

maniii ,

Y’all need to watch laowhy86 and serpentza on YT as well as their OG “The China Show” ( and not the Bloomberg copy-crap CCPPCC kowtowing ). China Fact Chasers on YT has clips if you dont have time for long form content.

Xi-BaoXe. Winnie the Pooh. 6489. Free Tibet. Free HK. Taiwan No.1 Country! :-D

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

maniii ,

Your suggestion is not wrong despite people not liking it. OpenSuse Leap or TW and Fedora even SilverBlue can be good for Linux newbies.

I have got both OpenSuse Leap and Fedora 37 on old-people systems and they are happy to browse using Chrome and edit using Libreoffice. etc.

Windows or Linux is as much suitable for the people who can use it and need it. No need to force anyone to use anything.

maniii ,

Hence let the friend run Windows. End of story.

maniii ,

Young whipper snappers can run for the hills since all the elders are going to become Linux experts :-D

Go install Windows you ankle-biters! Get off my lawn! :-D

maniii ,

I believe pfizer? and some other pharma companies have now admitted to the non-zero risk for blood-clots and fatally-low platelet counts due to the vaccine. We still do not understand the full long-term impact of the vaccines. We need to stop the vaccine rollout and study the long-term and wider population effects now so that if in 10 or 20 or 30 years down the line if we start seeing people developing abnormal long-term systemic chronic effects due to the vaccines, we now have a MASSIVE study-patient-base available.

Medicine has to be RESPONSIBLY applied and while vaccinations are necessary they still have to be studied to death to ensure their safety and efficacy.

Private corporations DO NOT GET A FREE PASS.

maniii ,

It doesn’t absolve the need to study the Golden rice for health problems. If Monsanto/Bayer made this “healthy rice” I will be even MORE skeptical of this. Corporations have been well-known for greed and mutual-human-extinction.

I trust the rice that was humanly modified and grown over 20,000 years rather than the rice that was suddenly placed in the market by a greedy-corporation in less than a century.

maniii ,

If you mix rice with turmeric ( another attempted cash-grab-by-patenting ) you will get “golden rice”. Not sure if it will have Vitamin-A so thats what supplements are for.

maniii ,

isnt XMMS a port of something ?

maniii ,

If it makes “Hitler” happy and isn’t hurting “not-Jews” else why do you care?

These kinds of whataboutism is how bad things happen from well-intentioned but ultimately bad things end up happening.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

maniii ,

I heard somewhere that only the Top 2% of OF-“models” make 80% of all the revenue and the rest hardly make enough to pay for a meal a day.

maniii ,

I heard that during COVID lockdowns, couples in Paris parks were left-alone if they were caucasian while the non-caucasians we beaten by the cops without any warning whatsoever.

maniii ,

Extreme examples bring to light why whataboutism is so prevalent. Find a better answer than “public nudity never hurt no one” … is not the correct answer.

maniii ,

Why not call it the Summerian Theorem ? Or Arabic/Persian/Philistine Triangulation Theorem ?

maniii ,

you mean cardboard packages with plastic linings ?

maniii ,

Yep. You can get it composted quickly enough, you can get the plastic film out of the composting bin, but the microplastics are already seeped in and contaminated the biomass.

maniii ,

When people play no-win games it is better to never play.

If you want relationships you work on your social skills.

If you want to go bear-hunting, well you go after bears.

If you want peace of mind just ignore these type of games.

The Brits flew night raids deep into Europe, dropped their payloads and returned home. The Tech definitely DID EXIST.

maniii ,

Bernie Sanders has already stated that it is up to the Youth of the nation to run against every single politician and win back their future. Young voters and young politicians must have each others backs.

maniii ,

Also have the Secret Service tackle themselves so that they dont follow illegal orders…

maniii ,

Chubbyemu did a video of some dude doing permanent damage by bengay to the sac. I am not sure if survival but invalid or ded-ded.

DO NOT APPLY ANYTHING BUT SAFE SOAP + WATER TO SENSITIVE AREAS! Else You too “might make A recovery” or “might not make it”.

maniii ,

Compared to barrels of crude oil, I am sure a SINGLE Block of Aluminium can be reused more than 1000X times with no environment damage.

maniii ,

Shouldn’t every Russian “soldier” or “military personnel” be defecting by the millions to Ukraine ? I mean if the Ukraine-Russia War finally resolves, either Ukraine will be a EU AND NATO Member !!! Or Russia will shrink politically and economically ( military likely the first to get thrown under the bus if Russia loses) even a Russian victory now will be a extremely pyrrhic lose-lose situation further isolating Russia.

I cant imagine if Russia sends WOMEN to the front-lines in ANY capacity. Women will seek to surrender to Ukrainian forces and Russia will start to decline by population. You cannot create an Army without women participating. If you remove even 5% of Russian women, the war will be lost before you fire bullets.

Estonia to stop Russian-created migration flux at border, says minister (www.euractiv.com)

In the wake of the migrant crisis at the Finnish-Russian border, neighbouring Estonia said it will not let migrants sent by Russia onto its soil but will stop them at the border, Estonian Interior Minister Lauri Läänemets said on Thursday.

maniii ,

Arm them with some special training and survival skills and send them back. Don’t just skip on the opportunity to disrupt Putin’s idiocy.

Also offer full benefits for every high-level Putin govt official and Putin-enabler that they “bring back” with them with lots of “proof”.

    Jon Stewart isnt Republican but Republican voters fully understand and agree with many of his viewpoints.

    It is possible to have reasonable conversations and discussions with people regardless of their political views.

    The question becomes what does the Democratic Party have to do enough to convince people to trust and vote for them ?

    A simple example would be the multiple rigging of the Democratic nominee against Bernie Sanders, while RNC does exactly the same kinds of rigging, DNC tried to make themselves seem holier-than-thou and did the exact same things as the RNC.

    Guess why so many voters don’t truly believe in elections and “hate”-vote for Drumpf ???

    Have good policies and reasonable expectations while keeping almost as many election campaign promises as possible. RNC delivered on their promises by strutting out strawman shit like “Build-the-Wall” … their real purpose was to defund the support networks for immigrants.

    Where is the Dream-Act that guarantees citizenship after Military service ??? If the DNC can’t even do their most basic levels of campaign promises, everything sucks and Drumpf wins.

    I can guarantee that a Rooftop Terrace garden cuts down almost 40% to 60% heat ever reaching the ceiling. If you have enough cover with smaller plants under larger bushes/shrubs/small trees then there will be a cool breeze around the terrace, provide nesting places for small birds and animals, a pocket of nature in an otherwise concrete heat jungle.

    The problem is who can afford to maintain the Terrace garden is the bigger challenge. Constantly checking soil, composting, watering, maintenance and just time+expense is usually beyond a lot of folks.

    Obama is a Centrist-Democrat. Right-wingers AGREED with his policies enough that all they complained about was how much melanin his clothes lacked and lack of head protection. That meant the policies and actions were favorable to Right-wing nuts :-( Cancelling student debt, bailing out families in need, reinforcing the Social-Security, VA, CDC, EPA, FDA and making Roe-Wade into law ( along with the ACA ) in so many ways were sidelined and ignored while 2008 taught the lessons that werent learnt, 2019 hit so hard and so fast nothing could have been effective at stopping the long plunge into the depths.

    Centrists do nothing except maintain the status-quo while silently allowing everything that failed to stay broken, while the next cycle of things to break happens over and over again until that deep dark pit becomes the new reality.
