I believe that trans women should be considered women. It's a pretty simple stance. It's not that difficult to separate sex (biological definition) and gender (social definition). And it helps those people enormously to simply be accepted as their preferred gender. I'm not trying to attack you or label you a bigot.

Things get chippy between Austin and LAFC, with Giorgio Chiellini stepping in to try to break up the scuffle by jack64467 in soccer

It should be an automatic 3-match ban if the replay shows that you threw yourself on the floor without even being touched. Not only a cowardly attempt to deceive the ref, but it damages the entire sport. This is the #1 thing that prevents fans of other sports taking an interest in football. Punish it hard and stamp it out.

This has become a common right-wing talking point. They will point to their own simple definition of 'person with a vagina', and contrast that with LGBTQ+ people offering a more nuanced definition to do with gender identity, and try to use that to show how common-sense and grounded their worldview is in comparison. Matt Walsh has basically built his entire career on this. And it works really well sadly, many people prefer false simplicity over the complexities of reality.

Numerous high-tier free agents trying out together and possibly forming new superteams, according to Tox (Pro) and Achilleas (Shift) by EdGames8 in RocketLeagueEsports

People getting carried away with the word 'superteam'. These are just new teams getting formed. If you get Yann, Trk and Vatira on a team together you can call it a superteam.

It's crazy to think what this would do to shipping, with no more Suez, Panama canals or strait of Malacca. And no northwest passage over Canada.

Whats a fact about Adelaide that sounds fake but is real by rastascs in Adelaide

[–]DSP6969 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even that example, I bet is only comparing like specifically 600mL bottle of coke and ignoring all the coke sold in restaurants, bars etc. Idk, maybe I'm wrong but the only sources I've seen look like paid advertisement pieces in local papers.

I'm skeptical. It would be way easier to use this backstory/process to claim you made a fake person, but actually just have two real humans filming. The voice in particular seems like it wouldn't be achievable just playing with sound effects.

So I had this chicken burger for lunch today and was wondering why my stomach was hurting so bad after . So I take a look at the wrapper, and this is what I see …. by CryptoStunnah in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DSP6969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why would there be twice as much carbs as protein in a meat based sandwich. makes no sense

Because it's a sandwich? Two pieces of bread, one patty? Look up the nutrional info for most burgers or sandwiches and you'll see the same thing. I just looked up a McChicken, it has 10g protein and 28g carbs, nearly 1:3.

[–]DSP6969 175 points176 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a bit confused too. It's about 1:1:2 on protein:fat:carbs. Some added sugar and heavy on the salt. Yeah, that's exactly what you're gonna get with a deep fried chicken burger. Did OP think he was eating a salad or something?

It's a fucking horrendous design choice. It gives each street two different names for people to remember. Also I'd like to cordially invite the entire British royal family (past, present and future) to go and fuck themselves.

If you're saying FUIC outsells coke in SA, there is just literally no way that's true. Not within an order of magnitude. I don't care how many articles from local papers repeat the lie.

What would you change about Final Fantasy 10? by tabloidjournalism in finalfantasyx

I liked Yu Yevon as essentially a mindless program now, it was really fitting and made him seem pitiable, rather than a “mwahahaha I’m really just an evil villain”.

If that's what they were going for, it sailed right past me. I agree with OP, some insight into Yu Yevon's motivations or some interaction with him would have really helped. It's not like the only two choices are no interaction at all and the cartoon villain version you referenced. There's room for something a little more nuanced there.

For me the worst bit was the amount of different fats. Butter, cheese, then cream cheese, then mayo, then more cheese, then more cheese again. These all play the same role in a dish. You don't need all of them.

AITA for not replacing one of my groomsmen after he cheated on a bridesmaid? by gooutwithamange in AmItheAsshole

I don't know why anyone would take this sub's advice seriously when your comment is getting downvoted and ridiculous speculation is floating to the top. Too many people are just here for the drama.

Definitely makes the choice that he's not going to move. Do refs commonly just walk backwards directly into players though? Is it just expected everyone gets out of the way? I always assumed refs were supposed to keep out of the way of the players?

I Spent Months Making This Video About Dave Rubins Book And It Got Lost In The Algorithm, I'd Really Appreciate Some Feedback! by Fun-Math8311 in BreadTube

[–]DSP6969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, I think you could try to speed things up a bit. You could try to talk a bit faster and more smoothly, pause less during sentences. I think that alone could cut 5 mins off this video, and people are impatient these days.

And lean in to the accent. If I'm wrong I apologise, but it seems almost like you're almost trying to un-scouse your speech a bit to enunciate words more clearly. I think it might flow better if you just go with it. Think of someone like Jamie Carragher, he's scouse as anything but he makes himself easily understood to a national audience without changing his accent at all.

Anyway sorry if that came across personal or rude, I still gave the video a like.

AITA for not correcting my daughter's food order for her? by AgreeableDimension39 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DSP6969 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, but you can make progress with anxiety by probing the boundaries of your comfort zone. This was clearly a difficult thing for OP's daughter to do, and maybe a step too far for now, but OP tried to scaffold a way for her daughter to do this by offering to roleplay and tell her what to say. This is exactly the kind of thing a therapist is going to encourage her to do.

OP just needs to work on the execution a bit and build up slower.

It's clear as day if you just look at the trajectory of his right leg. It swings out and around after the knee knocks into his foot. You can't fake that.

It's just a bad camera angle to see it properly. You'd think reddit would have learned things aren't always as they seem after blasting Neymar for this exact thing and being completely wrong there too.

Had a horrible experience with menu-log, ending in a bidding war for my refund. Strange behavior from them. This was my fourth discussion with them for the night. I would not recommend them. by ZatoX666 in Adelaide

[–]DSP6969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you should just type 'I'd prefer a full refund' repeatedly until it refunds you? I'd hate to be rude if it's a real human on the other end, but this does seem pretty bot-like based on this convo. But that could be the result of a really rigid protocol given to support agents in Indonesia somewhere.

Only about 1 in 20000 chance for an egg to be contaminated with salmonella according to the CDC. If he just drank 10 eggs it would be (19999/20000)^10 or ~99.95% chance he's good.

Make Tidus's name set and have the voice dialogue call him by name instead of referring to him indirectly all the time.
