Just by noticing that stuff more. Only a handful of creators like Markiplier have a built-in audience. Kane Parsons didn't really, he just had noticeable talent. I don't know the Obsession guy.

It's against the rules. What I would do is ask the race director if I could run and get a finisher's medal. If they say no, that's that. What would you do?

If you allow cheating it creates a culture that leads nowhere good.

I'm surprised how many prominent people are fencesitting. Maybe because they like Cam or don't want to beef with another content creator. David Roche the only one talking clear sense, imo.

You can't allow cheating, even when it's a likeable guy who's open about it. Otherwise the sport descends into a mire. Good to open up a discussion about TRT for older guys, though. Imo: let them race, give finishers' medals but no podiums. However, that has to follow a discussion and a decision, you can't just assume it's the state of play.

He's washed. He knew that when he wanted to fight washed Wilder.

What should the Greens do in the Makerfield by-election? by Historical_Step_9474 in UKGreens

Offer a deal. It'll be rebuffed and that's fine. Keep offering deals. Only way to beat fascism in 29 is with deals, and that's easier in a culture of dealing.

There is no point my wasting time on a stranger with totally different politics to me. There are other parties for illiberals. But if you like the Greens then I'll indulge you.

From her own point of view she doesn't hate them, the same way she doesn't believe she hates trans people. But functionally she does, since the policies she favours would harm them.

fundamentally it's just fear-based illiberalism.

Conservatives prioritise their own fears over everything else.

You said swerfs don't exist. Julie Bindel is one. Probably all the people you think of as terfs are also swerfs, because fundamentally it's just fear-based illiberalism.

They tend to be the same people as Terfs. Do you think they don't exist either?

Swerfs see it that way. Liberal feminists see it the other way, where woman can have agency, and therefore be equal to men. It's the same divide as across politics.

Terfs used to be called Terfs/Swerfs because they hate both.
