Drugs are great, you take them too most like (caffeine, ethanol, theanine etc). It's the power that fucked that shit head up.

Loads of people take ketamine and just like appreciate jazz or some other banal shit.

There might be but keep in mind longer arms needs more force to drive and trans women generally don't have the testosterone to grow large muscles.

Also like all sport is unfair, it's inherently the point. When a tall, muscular, woman wins a swimming contest nobody is waiting in the wings to measure her serium testosterone level and determine whether it was legitimate. We accept that people have physiological variations, different economic opportunities, and different mental capacities. We are interested in exploring what a person can do within rough approximately fair bands of competition.

Trans people generally want to transition early, so there's not a huge amount of time for puberty growth or lack thereof (remember trans men dammit!) given proper support for most people. Even later transitioners don't seem to have any significant advantage, given the lack of winning they're doing. I suspect any advantage that may exist is massively, massively, dwarfed by being wealthy enough to hire competent coaches/take the time to train + good childhood for high likelihood of positive psychological coping with stress.

Trans people generally lose on both those fronts.

While it is true that insane propaganda is off the charts, for example in my own country Australia we're chaining ourselves to the fading star of the usa and the UK militarily despite having:

• different trade interests
• different geopolitical interests
• different cultural interests

all while the usa government tries it's hardest to undermine our economic policy, erase our culture, and distort our politics towards their own demended lines.

There is zero evidence the chinese government does not want to do the same. They have interfered in our media, our education systems, there has been stupid petty trade squabbles with both "sides" using us for their own ends.

When chinese diplomats speak to our media, even in excruciatingly fair interviews, the pattern is the same slimey deny deny deny and legal quibble that usa diplomats engage in. Their media is insanely critical of Australian life too.

There are no good guys in this power struggle and looking for one is childish thinking.

Even this article refuses to address the notion that the chinese government has ever conducted itself in a condemnable manner.

How dark do rooms need to be for them to work? Are there issues with shared spaces where someone might want a well lit workspace?

I was like 12 but it was funny as shit. I think now a lot of the humour might fall flat now the zeitgeist has moved on but that storming of the beach against the teddybears still cracks me up remembering it.

Not just the USA. Here in Australia (which amusingly was seen as a weird totalitarian state in the usa?) our politicians dragged their feet, encouraged people to go out to large events, discouraged masks, insisted schools stay open because "children couldn't spread it" amongst other things.

Eventually we had action but it is still like the leading cause of death AFAIK so uhhh good job I suppose.

Sure of course of course but umm have you seen software?

There are still windows xp computers on the internet.

It's not insurmountable, and of course I have no idea if/how this will roll out.

Just it seems to mess with a rather deep assumption we have about how computers operate when we develop software and threat models.

Maybe, it depends how it works.

Memory is often unencrypted and/or contains encryption keys. Many programs rely on the assumption that it's cleared on powerdown for security.

Depending on how this memory enters the long term state it seems that a lot of legacy software might become vulnerable to a really simple attack.

Pulling the plug might no longer be something that forces someone to engage in rubber hose analysis.

This sounds like a giant security risk?

nudity is as much a mechanic as having head hair is though? it's just what humans ( and humanoid) things are?

non sexual nudity is a normal part of life.

Let me plug into the hive mind real quick

Damn, I guess I'll have to give my own personal opinion:

Most of the world is cishet, how could I possibly judge based on that? I will say fence sitters are the people that horrible people rely on being the majority in order to enable their horribleness.

Might want to reflect on what it is that enables you do sit out the fight, what kind of burden that places on other people, and whether it's fair to do so.
