Stop giving them money then?

Yeah the whole "stand" thing was just yet another attack on the sanity and coherence of that series. The entire thing is an exercise in suspension of disbelief and faith despite constantly escalating deus ex machina. That being said, chefs kiss.

The best plan.

Oh damn. Please.

DOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEET

It's like how I always noticed how, growing up, the tall people with long limbs were always stronger than short people with short limbs, weirdly regardless of how ripped the short kid was, within relative reasoning (like if the short person obviously was a bodybuilder and HUGE and the tall person never moved in their life). It's got to be a factor of leverage, and how base muscle you need to just function as a higher-leverage limbed person.

Like if you took a cis woman with a 22 inch long humerus and a trans woman with a 22 inch long humerus, and both had 15 inch biceps and have similar estrogens levels and testosterones levels, their bicep leverage strength (let's just assume same geometry ffs), I'm guessing, should be the same.

We're all just meat cyborgs, after all, and sports were never meant to be totally fair, they were meant to just play, and then Romans or whatever came along and had someone run a long ways and then the military was like HMMMMM and started encouraging finding capable soldiers through competition of measurement and assigning wealth or fame to the MOST X PEOPLE. It was never about who could do the most with the same, it was about simply who can do the most. And any semblance of "levelness" is a lie because the people who win these things are all just mutants pumped full of maximum resources and support anyway. It's all just commercials and circus competition. I'm not depressed and jaded with the state of the world, you are.

So, to conclude: fairness measurements in sports for people in sports is inherently misleading, and to try to measure that for trans people is, at best, convoluted past the point of pointless, it's an obfuscating smoke-show rabbit-hole of strawmen, red herrings, and other conservative traditionalist garbage fallacies by archaic aspects of civilization continuing the tradition of intrinsic performative pointlessness in unfortunately largely successful attempts to stay "relevant". Basically, we're all still apes, you get an amygdala response, and you get an amygdala response, the scientific method is only 100 years old, the modern Internet is less than 25 years old, most humans can't control their emotions, let alone be consistently well nourished... So expecting the main populace to care enough to learn about why gatekeeping trans people from BASICALLY ANYTHING is completely arbitrary is something we should do our best to accept and work around, kind of like realizing you have to outsmart a child rather than arguing with it. I say we make our own sardonic-as-plausible-deniability rhetoric smoke show about how Jesus has come to us and says that trans women don't have an advantage and to go against this word is to go against the word of God itself, and then secretly make a toaster template that toasts aigen long-hair white guy on bagels for religious authenticity and authority. I think the trick is if you have unlimited confidence, they have to believe and follow you, because evolution ~

Uh huh...

That one serious Sam level where you'd actually have to just hold S because there wasn't even time to turn around. The level would start and you'd immediately hear a big stone door closing.

Chocolatey, winget

All that stuff they listed is packaged, versioned, and handled. I'm pretty sure there's gui's too, if you're into that

She doesn't like to, she does it because queer people are constantly being attacked and berated and then when we get tired of the shit, people get surprised and go, "oh why are you being so defensive, you're overly reactive". And she isn't insane, she's proud, protective, and proactive with a very low tolerance for any indication of more bullshit.

Personally, I would discuss certain events more fully, try to educate and understand, but, for better or for worse, the person with responsibility for the instance and everybody in it decided less chances rather than more and doesn't give a flying fuck what anybody thinks, and the more you press her, the more she's gonna tyrant all over you, and, honestly, most of the users here have her back because she's got ours.

Just... Be better to people, let others walk away from you if they want without YOU being a crazy person and being sensitive, reactive, and lashing out unnecessarily. You ever think about that perspective? You don't have to say anything, just move along and leave us in peace. Maybe once everything cools down in the future, she'll renegotiate and reanalyze and possibly consider reconnecting. Y'all can defed from us crazy folk if you want at that time. You're free to walk away too.

I just enabled (Android on Samsung phone) talk back while in bed late at night with sleeping partner.

Warning, lol:

Enabling this will change your phone's input IMMEDIATELY and it will start making a LOT of sound that you cannot mute entirely.

You select sections by tapping on them and the system will read them out to you, but to actually press them, you double tap the screen elsewhere. It will literally say double tap to activate, but I immediately turned my volume down as low as it could go and couldn't hear it and started getting scared/frustrated that the entire input method of my phone changed and was out of control. I couldn't even unlock my phone normally, and luckily had my face recognition enabled and screen bright enough to illuminate my face.

So yeah, turning on the feature was a face first adventure. I'll mess with it later because it seems cool, but....lol be aware.
