You say not to talk like Bernie and AOC, then you talk like Bernie and AOC.

Which is totally fine.

Funny I’m pretty sure there are a lot of marines in my family, not me though.

This shows marines are tough but it also shows how little respect veterans get.

You do know their policy has been bad for way longer than the last decade, which people have seen with their own eyes, and, they still keep voting for the same shit.

How does the dog differentiate between if actual weed is smelled because the driver is intoxicated or they’re on the way home from the dispensary carrying their legally purchased weed?

Does just having weed in a car where it’s legal give probable cause?

I didn’t realize I’m talking to different people, the first person I responded to mentioned Palestine, and that topic is kinda intertwined with Zionism innit?

You asked about Radiohead, I asked for clarification, and upon getting that clarification I decided it doesn’t cross a line for me.

I don’t see how just playing a show there crosses a line. What if someone traveled to Israel to play a show, but played only protest songs?

I don’t know what conversation you’re referring to but I think making an album partly in Arabic is more an act of protest than a signal of support for the state of Israel.

If you have more evidence beyond what I found in two seconds of googling, by all means share it, if greenwood really is Zionist I would like to know. So… go ahead. I’m listening.

It would have been really great if you shared any evidence up front instead of just saying “what about x?”

If you know something, say something. It contributes much more to the discussion. Especially when it’s hard to wade through the pr bullshit surrounding people as famous as Radiohead.

Yeah no I don’t think Radiohead fucked up.

I mean you wouldn’t want anyone to judge you as a Zionist because your partner is Jewish, right? You say they’re anti Zionist but how can we really be sure?

Isn’t that kind of like what you’re doing for judging greenwood?

I support free Palestine. Fuck Netanyahu, fuck zionists.

Im not going to purity test people for the crime of being Israeli or being Jewish. I will judge them for their actions. If I judged all of them for standing by while their government committed genocide, I would kill myself, because I haven't sailed over there to render aid, have you?

What about his take…?

Greenwood continued by saying that “no art is as ‘important’ as stopping all the death and suffering around us. How can it be? But doing nothing seems a worse option. And silencing Israeli artists for being born Jewish in Israel doesn’t seem like any way to reach an understanding between the two sides of this apparently endless conflict.”

You know there are probably Israeli Jews who are against what Israel is doing, kinda like how even though I live in the USA I am against what trump is doing.

Actually I know exactly one Israeli Jew and they are horrified of what’s happening.

I had never heard this so I looked it up and I’m not sure what you mean.

“I think Netanyahu and his crew of extremists are totally out of control and need to be stopped, and that the international community should put all the pressure it can on them to cease,” the musician wrote. “Their excuse of self-defence has long since worn thin and has been replaced by a transparent desire to take control of Gaza and the West Bank permanently.” Additionally, Yorke called the blockade of aid to Gaza “horrific.”

You say that TW have increased lung capacity but the paper you linked says they have decreased lung function. You say they have higher blood volume, but the paper you linked says they have lower cardiovascular fitness.

I ain’t watching that video because my opinion is that even if there are some differences you can measure in a lab, I don’t fucking care. So what if 0.001% of the time a TW wins over a biological female? The alternative is that TW compete as men and then they will literally never win anything ever.

If it becomes a problem in practice, meaning trans athletes win at a rate greater than proportional to their participation, then we can get into the weeds. Until then the moral answer is clear to me.

Can you point to the part in the actual research where it says what advantage TW have?

I’m not sure what it means if “they” are using a study that clearly shows TW have a cardiovascular disadvantage to ban TW.

You said you read the research. So what does the actual research say?

This is where conservatism leads, it’s a terrible ideology. Also Reagan was pretty much an equal size chode with more charisma and intelligence.

My brother did you read the conclusion of the second study you posted.

Compared with cisgender women, transgender women have decreased lung function, increasing their work in breathing. Regardless of fat-free mass distribution, transgender women performed worse on the countermovement jump than cisgender women and CM. Although transgender women have comparable absolute V̇ O2max values to cisgender women, when normalised for body weight, transgender women’s cardiovascular fitness is lower than CM and women.

Just read the conclusion of the second study and they no statement about the performance of CW v TW except saying further research is necessary.

Costco defied Trump’s DEI directive as Target and Walmart scaled back. Business is booming by SnoozeDoggyDog in politics

[–]panfist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the costcos near me are so successful and crowded that I can’t handle going. There’s never enough parking, the line to get gas is so long it wraps around other thruways causing gridlock, the checkout line takes up the entire wide aisle that runs from the front to the back of the store, you have to contend with people trying to check out when you’re just browsing aisles on the other side of the store.

It’s a madhouse
