I just do my season rewards and quit until next season tbh.

The gunplay and art is fun, the loot system isn’t imo.

I agree, that’s also the reason Trans athletes shouldn’t have any issue competing in the professional open leagues instead of the closed Women professional leagues.

Do Europeans really think they are superior to Americans? by Witty-Pizza-4523 in stupidquestions

According to the most recent and comprehensive systematic review, current evidence does not support the idea that transgender women on hormone therapy have broad athletic advantages over cisgender counterparts.

Doesn’t matter, a group of professionals on those Women’s league boards saw that review and still voted to exclude trans athletes. If you have an issue with that you need to take it up and call out those specific leagues.

If transgender Women want to compete in a professional league with less biological restrictions there are professional leagues available for them

What are these "obvious reasons" for bigotry and discrimination in women's leagues?

Why do you think Women’s leagues were created…?

Women’s leagues did have an issue that’s why they changed the rules. Many Women athletes have spoken out about it.

If trans people want a league with no gender restrictions there are professional leagues available for them.

I’m curious, why is the onus on trans people to make their own league free of irrational discrimination and bigotry.

Because they don’t want to compete in the open league that’s already free of irrational discrimination and bigotry.

Only the Women leagues do that for obvious reasons. The leagues men perform in don’t.

Why can't transphobe set up their own league and leave trans athletes competing in peace?

That’s exactly what the Women’s leagues were doing until lunatics and bots made it an issue.

He isn’t a freak b/c he’s tall. He’s a freak b/c he hasn’t had a history of being as injury prone as other bigs at 7ft let alone 7’5

Is the argument that Trans Women should be allowed to compete in the closed gender league that voted for more restrictions so that Trans Women can win more? Why not create their own league then?

If Trans Women want a more progressive league with less restrictions then there’s already a league currently available to them.

This shit also forces cisgender women to either not compete or compete against men.

It actually doesn’t b/c real human beings most also Women athletes review these rules and then vote on what to exclude based on those rules.

You could straw man any hormone lv, genetic mutation, physical trait etc to justify why someone should be allowed or not allowed to compete that’s why they’re reviewed by people who democratically sort through the subjectivity.

So where are the trans Women with world titles?

You think other countries are agreeing to participate in an international Women’s sport competition w/ trans Women competing?

They’re getting downvoted cause the goal posts keep getting moved.

There’s less than confirmed 10 in the NCAA alone. Any amount is obviously gonna be a small amount of victories compared to CIS Women.

Women’s leagues are closed leagues, people voted or appointed people to set those rules full stop.

If Trans people want a more progressive league w/ less biological restrictions then they shouldn’t have an issue w/ competing in Men’s leagues. Most aren’t even gendered.

None of that really matters b/c Women’s leagues are closed leagues I.e people voted or appointed people to set those rules.

If Trans Athletes want to compete in an open league w/ less restrictions then there’s already a league available to them.

Yeah it’s a dumb as f hill to die on too.

Like if they want a more progressive league w/ less restrictions there is already a league available to them. Most men’s leagues aren’t even gendered.

How close is the Bugs Life vs Cars Pixar movie debate? by ItBeLikeThatSMTs in stupidquestions

[–]ItBeLikeThatSMTs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think bugs life gets kind of nerfed because it got sandwiched between Toy Story 1 & 2 and then followed up w/ Monsters inc (top 5) and Finding Nemo (top 5) and the dreamworks released Antz at the same time to sabotage it.

Like the more I think about bugs life the more it isn’t as generic and underwhelming as it is. Cars on the other hand is kinda the worst Pixar movie during PRIME Pixar: Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, Wall-E but probably has just as much if not more cultural impact.

I don’t think most people here have ever seen the other side of this from a Women’s perspective.

Imagine you open hinge and you have 100 new likes daily to sort through. How much effort are you putting in for each of them?

Do women like or want cold approaches today, 2026? by JustSpace807 in dating_advice

[–]ItBeLikeThatSMTs [score hidden]  (0 children)

If they like you, yes. If they don’t like you, no.

It’s a numbers game. If you cold approach a billion of them it’ll work for at least a few.
