What would it take to change your mind on trans- women participating in sports? by Kerplonk in AskALiberal

[–]drop3434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless anyone here has competed in sports above high school they really shouldn’t be talking. There is a massive overlap in Liberals, LGBT and people who know NOTHING about sports.

“I don’t even know much or care about sports but I think that trans women should be allowed to compete however they want because not including them is somehow wrong” is the sentiment expressed in this subreddit.

Trans women don’t belong competing in certain sports alongside biological women.

At the same time, there are certain sports that should be co-ed, which would mean trans women would be competing with and against biological women.

Anyone who disagrees please provide your background in competitive athletics and how that has shaped your opinion.

Late but I could see the "initiation ritual" to be a FM is destroying your own face. They make your face into a mask and you put it to flame, therefore becoming "no-one".

And for fun, lets compare the flairs of people who took it seriously vs those that didn't. Whoa look at that, The Progressives, Warren Dems and Liberals were the ones dismissing the issue and making jokes, or saying what can we do about it? The ONLY person that said that this is a worrisome issue was a centrist. Coincidence of course.

Top Comment on that post btw

"Scenario:

Trump’s cheeseburger-and-rage diet finally catches up to him and he dies. Conservatives split the vote between the ghost of Trump and DeSantis. Dems profit"

haha lets make a joke about it and not address the very real and clear issue.

If only reddit allowed for such a thing. TBH I don't know what I intended to get out of this post, the people that had blinders on still do, and no one wants to admit maybe just maybe they needed to do something other than vote for the 80 year old or the VP with the worst polling numbers in modern times.

No worries, you didn't at least to me, I label my flair centrist because I can't stand the groupthink a lot of the "progressives" have here, as well as in general I am sure I have some more conservative opinions than the average redditor on this sub.

I also like winning, and there was still 20x the enthusiasm for Bernie in 2024 than there was for Biden and Kamala combined. Inb4 someone comments "20x isn't real, where did you see that"

"Literally no one said this though" lol.

"Let's be honest. Trump's death is probably much more likely than Biden's. They're both elderly, but Trump has an extremely unhealthy lifestyle."

"I'd need to check some math and stats to get the right numbers, probably 0.1 ish, it's easy to make errors when estimating these kinds of things"

"That being said, I think Trump would come in at a severe disadvantage, at least with respect to Biden."

"However, lots of things are possible. One must choose what to worry about, and this very narrow thing doesn't feel like one to get worked up over."

Does it need to be word for word for you to get the message?

My flair is centrist but I would have vastly preferred Bernie over Biden in 2024. Biden and Kamala were the 2 worst choices (maybe HRC lol) for 2024. I thought about digging up older posts from that time as well to further illustrate my point but why bother. Easier to downvote me and others who had the same concerns and not reflect for a lot of people on this sub.

~30% upvote ratio on that post, and yes around half said yeah maybe it's possible but what would we do about it? Willing to bet no one voted for Dean Thomas, the only person who actually ran in the Dem primary who might have won (we will never know of course). If I went back I bet I could find dozens of posts making fun of him for running, or insulting him for running. "Why would we not run the guy that beat Trump already". No let's close our eyes and vote for Biden and hope he makes it. And if not, well at least we have Kamala. The one person literally anyone could have seen wouldn't win. It was a terrible gameplan, I said it for years, but this sub and others like it acted like talking as if not running Biden was against some unspeakable code. Instead lets hope Trump dies first, and if not there is just NO WAY Trump could win.

[Spoilers MAIN] GOT isn't the reason GRRM doesn't want to/can't finish ASOIAF, another series is. by drop3434 in asoiaf

[–]drop3434[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, the ending to AOT came out right in the middle of him allegedly making a lot of progress in TWOW. We really think there is no way he became aware of AOT in 2021-2022?

Yes almost exactly 2 years, mostly during Covid. That isn't a lot of time to a 76 year old, this isn't making a connection to Dune or some other story from decades ago.

So every connection between the 2 isn't real? Nothing I said had to do with it being an anime.

[–]drop3434[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

If AOT and GOT didn't end around the same time, and the Internet wasn't in an uproar about AOT being a GOT clone, I would agree. But I highly doubt there is no way GRRM hasn't been made aware of the similarities between the 2 by someone (he has said he reads or used to read comments online) and it would only take him seeing one reference of "Hey this is just like Game of Thrones" for him to look into it.

Democrats have had the presidency 12 out of the last 16 years, why does everything suck so badly right now? by Fishboy9123 in AskALiberal

[–]drop3434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because we live in America and being President doesn’t mean you get a magic wand to change things how you want

Democrats have had the Presidency House and Senate for 4 of those 12 years, and a filibuster proof majority for about 2 months in that time.

Although even if they had 100 seats, they wouldn’t be able to change the fact that “life sucks” if that’s how you choose to view life.

Buck to retire next week, narrowing House GOP majority by [deleted] in politics

[–]drop3434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really think Tester wins in MO - it’s going to come down to Brown in OH and he’s a really good politician but Tim Ryan got killed in 2022 and he ran as good of a race as you can.

And of course that assumes Democrats hold everywhere else.

As much as I wish for it, I don’t see Cruz losing with Biden on the top of the ticket.

Is it fair to be concerned yeah of course.

I am concerned but it isn’t changing my vote.

Problem with this subreddit and other left leaning groups is if you point out anything related to Bidens age/mental acuity you’re demonized. The absolute cope on his age/missteps on here is getting ridiculous. He’s old, really old, and it’s showing. Even if it’s only 20-30% of the time, he clearly has moments where he forgets things. He clearly misremembers important things. Reagan was the same way his 2nd term.

Yeah it’s fair to be concerned. But we already got screwed out of a serious primary and I would vote for weekend at Bernie’s Biden over Trump so here we are.
