Sounds like the users are just hella trashy, which sucks because it also means there is enough demand for the service if they are getting used enough to leave a mess.

Some people are gonna be anti-suicide, no matter the cause. Telling them to show respect for them just ain’t gonna happen.

And some people are tired of martyrs.

Yes this is how sovereignty is maintained. This duality is why other members of the international community can refuse to follow ICC declarations one year and support the other years.

The United States doesn’t release that control willingly. Others would have to make them if they feel it’s that important.

Until someone can take that authority, they retain it.

ACAB

Yes.

Break the cycle.

This matches my experience, as well.

Whoa, that’s a fun one! Thanks for sharing! I love reading about these really different conspiracy theories.

My VW is like this as well. I don’t like it either.

You are out of touch. All over the world, people use cell phones. Desktop computers require stable power and space. They also aren’t cheaper than a cheap cellphone.

Even the most destitute people have cellphones these days. If the country is in good enough shape that a person could procure a computer, then cellphones are likely more available and cheaper. In fact, your cellphone is likely the source of your data connection even if you do have a laptop or some other computer in a remote area.

Ya know what… I’m gonna say it… These guys are jerks.

That was my experience on blahaj. I’d never been banned from a community, let alone one I’ve been an ally to before. Such a pure echo chamber that even discussing why the outside world holds the views they have, even without expressing agreement, gets you labeled a transphobe.

Honestly, it soured me on lemmy as a whole since that was the content I had been enjoying the most.

Living in a land of make-believe. Imagined enemies everywhere. It must be exhausting.

Your agenda is clear. Call anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with you a bigot. You tarnish your cause with your ego.

I just said exactly the opposite. Fuck dude, get it together.

Maybe they are. You accuse me of making the scenario up, but you literally just did the same thing. You can’t possibly know they aren’t. If I were a college that wanted to show how inclusive we were, I would absolutely pick a trans athlete for a scholarship, and since there isn’t an infinite amount of money and scholarships available each year, it comes at the cost of someone else.

Since they don’t tell us who they don’t grant things to, there’s no particular person who could ever claim victimhood, but it did cost someone who wouldn’t have otherwise lost the spot. And not surprisingly, it breeds resentment towards trans athletes, which hurts the movement a whole. It’s shitty all around.

We know things are different because of the way that they are.

The issue that I think is highlighted by the article is that it presupposes that the transathlete is undergoing hormone suppression. That isn’t a prerequisite to participate in most sports, and to require it would require disclosing more detailed medical information than might be prudent.

So, while the study is small, it is also not representative of many instances of trans athleticism. A transwoman not on HRT is just as much a woman as one who’s been on it for years, according to advocates, and should be equally eligible to participate in women’s sports. If that belief isn’t held, you’ll be labeled a transphobe and bigot as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
