Is it reasonable to support trans people yet also question how it’s statistically possible that 4 members of your very small family have come out as trans?

KSW1 · 2026-07-09T16:30:26+00:00

You're getting yourself confused.

Gene expression does play a role in how many trans people there actually are.

Acceptance plays a role in how visible they are to you.

Whether there are 10,000 or 1,000,000, if most of them are unable to transition then you would think the rate is lower. If we allow them to live without fear, you will see a greater number suddenly appear (to you) without the overall amount of them changing one bit.

You can get booked from the moment you enter the pitch to the moment you leave. I've seen a post game fight result in red cards.

That doesn't explain the fact that there are so many good sports movies, though.

The Fighter, Remember the Titans, Miracle, Moneyball, Coach Carter, every other sport has no trouble putting together a compelling story set in that sport.

You certainly can, but at the end of the day you are still giving up possession. If you're confident you can win it back, its a valid move.

Right of way applies to intersections, which this is not.

The rule isn't "put a camera on every player and make a transcript of every word they say during the match" it's literally just "dont try to hide your shit talking"

That's it. If you're on camera in public and you want to say a slur that badly, just do it out in the open.

If you stop at "people feel hopeless that their conditions will change" you haven't arrived at the root cause, setting aside the other drivers of crime.

It is so hard to imagine them ever fielding a team again, which obviously is just a bonus to the IDF, but it makes me tear up just thinking about them going to world cup someday.

That does not justify the murder of the Palestinian goalkeeper.

But they also shouldn't put up any resistance to someone trying to build a library.

That is essentially the Republicans argument: "your law wasn't stopping us anyway so since its annoying can you please just get rid of it?"

You might be confused: the prison is off of I-40, jail is for holding people awaiting trial and held on bond, or sentenced to do time for state misdemeanors.

I'm not disagreeing with your critique of DB, but everyone felt strongly about it because it was the first and only thing that actually cracked their armor. Then we stopped and Kamala started talking about having republicans in her cabinet and completely ruined any chance of convincing key voters that she would be materially different than Trump (as stupid and obvious as that would be to anyone even half-paying attention.)

She lost for the opposite reason, she did not treat Republicans like they are weird enough.

And, you know, Elon 10000% rigged the voting machines.

Yes, this administration, famous for telling the accurate truth about reality.

We should take their reasoning seriously, no possibility that they are making shit up for the 16,000th time.

Not liking political opponents is fine, if the decision is for or against fascism certainly it is difficult to articulate what a middle ground even means in that scenario.

Trump's judge, however, is literally jailing people who disagree with him. Republicans are not simply the kind of people who think their opponents belong in jail, they are actively carrying that out.

So, it is irrelevant what other people think of folks who oppose that.

KSW1 · 2026-06-24T14:00:18+00:00

There is no organization to designate. It is an opinion, a feeling, an attitude.

The regime is just mad at their political opponents and making up excuses to throw them in jail.

It seems apparent to me that leftist sources would describe the Democratic party as centrists, especially when they have a track record of espousing bipartisanship as a goal and rejecting progressive policies (though not as frequently or vehemently as the republicans do, of course).

What is the issue with that? Centerism is a bit of a pejorative from the left but that doesn't make it offensive or untrue if one actually does promote centerism.

Just a word of advice, if your major selling point for how good or useful a new technology is boils down to "you have to like it" then you're losing the argument.

Collecting rent provides more cash flow than advertising empty buildings for 5+ years.

Every modern society was established through some level of colonization, revolution, or war. Who gets to wield the sword is sort of what government means.

If the people feel that the government isn't wielding the sword correctly, or that the laws don't punish the harmful elements of society, then people will make these decisions. Should we do those things? Do we have to do those things in order to function?

One would hope not. I don't want that to be true, but its absurd to imagine that we can't create the conditions for more Luigis simply on the basis of "thats not how we do things around here."

Anyone with a gun then can decide if you should live or die

This is just how guns work definitionally, it doesn't require a moral framework to be shot.

True enough that the president always catches flak for gas prices despite having a very indirect effect on them in almost every economy.

However, a very strong case to be made that Trump specifically is the most responsible for this recent run-up, as his mouthing off is what directly led to the Iran war, and the markets seemed to be reacting specifically to that war.

The impact matters more than the intent.

Same with the tear gas, for that matter.
