You said it sarcastically, but doesn’t that truly address the situation that you and others believe is occurring, in a non-discriminatory way?

Why?

These people also never consider that they’re measuring the wrong thing. If they’re taking the position that the effects of testosterone from birth in trans M-to-F kids gives them an unfair advantage due to bone density and muscle mass, then they’re failing to take into account that there are a number of natural health conditions that produce elevated testosterone levels in women as well.

I’m not saying this to be funny, but women with stubble especially around the chin often have elevated T levels, often due to PCOS. There truly are some women who are “built like a man” and they’re not trans - at least certainly not in the way we use the term today. They’re natural, their bodies just work differently.

Banning trans kids isn’t going to level the playing field in the way they say they want to. Measuring things that testosterone affects like bone density would.

If you punch someone on the nose, you can’t expect sympathy when they punch back. This isn’t going to produce the result Hamas was going for.

Yes. If it’s a workplace injury, OSHA has the authority to come in and dictate mitigation measures.

Clearly this isn’t true.

I don’t see how this would go anywhere after 303 Creative.

Corporations are people for the purposes of free speech thanks to Citizens United. Congress can’t pass a law depriving them of their free speech rights - and animal welfare would definitely fall within the scope.

303 says - among other things - that state or federal law can’t compel to to perform an act against your right to free speech.

I do. DeSantis’s anti-woke legislation forced textbook makers to transform Rosa Parks into bus Karen. Seriously, Google it, don’t take my word for it.

Right, but take the converse: if they didn’t own land, they definitely couldn’t afford a slave.

You’re sniping, but I think the parent poster was accurate in what they said. I don’t think it was an euphemism for slave. It was the 1800s. What would you do with a slave if you didn’t own property? If they’re not tilling and planting or harvesting, or keeping house, or cooking, what would they be doing? A horse would be far more effective at pulling a carriage, and keeping one as a sex slave - while it definitely happened - was strongly looked down upon by society at the time.

If you kept a slave and had no good reason to own one aside from sex, you might well disappear in the night one night - not out of protection for the slave(s) but racial purity.

I made a post that was similar a week or so back that was fairly controversial where I advocated changing how the federation protocol works. I’ve been thinking about it more, and I think I have a solution to your concern (and mine) that keeps the admins feelings about federation and not allowing one instance to dominate in mind.

On Reddit, especially old.reddit, when you search at the top you actually get two different search results: subreddits matching %string% at the top, posts matching %string% at the bottom.

We should mirror that. The current search should be modified in the same structure and pump the search string into https://browse.feddit.de/ or implement it’s process into the server code.

I think when someone types in android, getting a list of currently existing Lemmy communities with their respective populations and post counts is probably the easiest way to smooth out the learning curve.
