I mean that's how they afford to get food delivered every day. Too much money, spoilt.

I've never heard of mixing beer and apple juice. Beer and lemonade for a Shandy or radler, sure, but apple juice??

I know in Asia mixing beer with tomato juice is somewhat common, but apple? I dunno...

Personally? I'm against the use of nuclear weapons in this way.

It blows my mind that people want to eat at Cracker Barrel, like, at all. A "too generic" logo is fitting for the company. The food is all bland and unappealing. We fought wars for spices, y'all, could at least eat em, huh?

Look I'm all for the idea that we eat too much meat currently and all, but are mice really good analogs for humans in this instance? I'm not a scientist of any sort, so I really don't know, but it seems to me like a creature that doesn't naturally eat, like, any red meat would be a bad analog here.

Imagine thinking you're gonna reach India faster but instead you bring chili peppers, tomatoes and potatoes back, thus revolutionizing global cuisine forever.

The "issue" seems moot to me, personally. Between the facts that no one is transitioning in order get an upper hand in the sports world and that there are plenty of documented incidents of cis women athletes being falsely flagged as trans women due to their high testosterone levels... I just don't think it really matters. It isn't like there are record breaking trans women dominating the sports world. This "issue" mostly feels like an overt attack on trans people in general than genuine concern over the alleged purity of sport.

The people spearheading these attacks on trans people aren't interested in some nebulous notion of sports integrity, they simply want to further denigrate and attack an already maligned minority. They are concern trolling on a national scale and that I find deplorable and transparent.

I might be biased here, as I really couldn't care less about some Olympic notion of athletic purity, the idea itself feels somewhat eugenic adjacent, but I also think the impact of accepting trans women in sports is ultimately very minimal on the sport world, but huge for the progress of trans rights, something that I think is very important, especially in this day and age.

Furthermore, I think people outside of the propagandists trying to make this into an issue who care about this idea of purity in sports are being taken advantage of by malicious actors (aforementioned propagandists) who do not care about sports purity, but do care about repressing a maligned minority.
