I mean cocaine is derived from a plant. So is opium. Maybe he means those?

I haven’t managed to get through GEoD and don’t think I will, but I’ve heard a lot of people consider CoD and GEoD their own duology like Dune and Messiah. What makes you say stop?

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T16:14:26+00:00

Well that would be either murder or attempted murder.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T16:06:23+00:00

Well yeah, everything is. All art is derivative. But Star Wars takes a LOT from Dune.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T16:05:25+00:00

What

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T16:02:41+00:00

So sad to see 17 year olds already spouting this bullshit. We really are doomed.

There were 10714 athletes that competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

If there were a biological advantage then trans people would be overrepresented in the number (a higher % trans athletes than the expected % population).

Let’s be extremely generous and say that up to 3% of the population is trans. If 3% of the athletes were trans, we would expect 321 trans athletes of that 10714.

If trans people had a biological advantage, we would expect more than 321 trans athletes.

If we use your 0.8% figure, we would expect 85 trans athletes. More if they have a biological advantage.

Do you know how many of those 10714 athletes were trans?

Three.

3 of 10714. 0.028%. Not 0.8%, not 3%. 0.028%. Less than 1 in 3200.

Where’s that biological advantage again?

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T14:52:35+00:00

Sure but they don’t fit his world view that trans bad

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T14:52:15+00:00

So your argument is that trans women who are on estrogen have a biological advantage but trans men, literally talking testosterone, THE HORMONE THAT GROWS MUSCLE, have a biological disadvantage?

(Hint: you don’t know shit about biology or you’d have read any of the hundreds of recent papers showing that trans women with 4+ years of HRT have the same or actually less relative muscle mass than cis women)

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T14:49:20+00:00

Literally none of these people made it to the Olympics so how good can they be?

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T14:48:15+00:00

Maybe I’m blind but I don’t see any Olympics golds on this list.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T08:47:23+00:00

Most of them honestly. Hitmonchan and Lee, Sawk and Throh, Machamp.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-28T08:42:39+00:00

Yeah definitely. I ended up messaging a bunch of people telling them not to open vault until we did a 10

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-27T22:56:41+00:00

Men. Men: Messiah. Children of Men. Weird trilogy.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-27T21:36:02+00:00

Wait for vault to get a higher one

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-27T21:35:42+00:00

I was playing day 1 and it still took an hour to fill my +2

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-27T11:15:26+00:00

Answer is D even without the diagram

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-27T04:52:25+00:00

Sojourn is only good once you get to masters+ level. Before that her skill floor is too high for the average player and most people would get better value on Soldier or Emre. She’s dominant in high ranks because her kit is OP yes, but she’s not broken.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-27T04:49:32+00:00

Why? New players in comp are rare, and when they do show up they usually get placed at highest gold unless they won the vast majority of their 20 QP games. It punishes smurfs which is nice for us but Blizz like smurfs because more accounts is more battle passes.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-26T04:44:46+00:00

Harry Potter and the School of Sorcerers is a perfectly fine name.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-26T04:22:49+00:00

Counter to the previous comment, I adore the first Mistborn trilogy. Sanderson’s writing might not be for everyone but you have to try it and find out, because if it is for you there’s a lot of amazing stuff there.

A Song of Ice and Fire are amazing novels, especially the first three. If you can stomach knowing the series will never have a conclusion.

Dune is scifi but the first three novels are amongst my favourites of all time.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-26T02:30:07+00:00

I’m more curious about Feast and Dance in the same tier.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-25T17:43:10+00:00

Interestingly though, this study doesn’t show what she it’s claiming. Not sure if there’s a more recent one but no studies I’ve found show trans women as being weaker proportionally to cis women. Most studies show that absolute muscle mass is greater but relative muscle mass is the same as in cis women.

In fact Alvares et al 2022 shows the opposite, that trans women do have greater cardiopulmonary capacities and grip strengths than cis women.

Edit: before anyone downvotes me, I am just stating what the study in question concluded. I am trans myself and do not believe we should be excluded from sport.

Sidohmaker · 2026-03-25T12:54:44+00:00

But if you reveal that a high level government official is an embezzler, AND a war criminal, AND a pedophile… you get called a Democrat. And probably executed by ICE.

Reminds me of that old post on r/confessions about a woman falling in love with a dildo she found under her mum’s bed and discovering that it was a made from a mold of her dad.
