Has anybody mentioned this on their discord or twitch channel? I feel like mentioning it there could get it past the 1M threshold pretty quickly. There must be more than 1M gamers in all of Europe.

Read my edit. Also, not every sport is about strength. Additionally, the are other ways to split than just by sex and gender.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 14 hours ago

No, you don't. You haven't seen it yet. Nor do you know how 100 or 1000 such matches would end.

It's also fine if you don't want to see it. No one is going to force you too.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 5 points 14 hours ago

What a nonstupid answer. I congratulate you on being so articulate.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 14 hours ago

OK, I'll just add an edit to the description, but for you too: the suggestion isn't to force desegregation. It's to allow it. Someone else made a better suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it's weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.

Finally, the option to compete together should still be the default, IMO. Some people probably would like to join a mixed team, but simply can't because it isn't allowed. For example if basketball were segregated by height, some shorter players would maybe like to play in the mixed team regardless (maybe they hit a skill ceiling in their league, maybe they don't like the idea of segregation, etc.).

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 14 hours ago

Does that answer your question?

No, it doesn't answer if it'll be the same for all sports. As others have pointed out archery, shooting, curling, and other sports have men an women competing either separate or together and women can compete at the same level.

As for football, yes, there's a good chance there'll be stark differences, but as I pointed out in another comment, not every sport is about raw strength. And, competing against stronger opponents can also raise your ceiling. How far is of course yet to be seen because we don't have mixed leagues.

And again, the suggestion isn't "NO MORE SEGREGATION EVER" it's "should we let them compete against each other". That means there'll be a mixed and segregated league. Maybe even, as somebody else suggested, the segregations wouldn't always be immediately by sex or gender, but by attributes that make sense in that sport e.g weight, muscle mass, height, skill, and so on.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 14 hours ago

Yes, that's a sport where segregation makes sense. But the suggestion isn't to force desegregation, it's to to let all genders compete against each other.

Why? Weight classes, leauges, and divisions won't help?

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

Of course people are differently capable, that why we have divisions, leagues, weight classes, and so on, even in the same sex. Why would that change when they all compete together?

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 14 points 1 day ago

That's already how it works. 80kg boxers don't compete against 100kg boxers, division 1 teams don't compete against division 5 teams.

It just means that some teams will be mixed. We might even be surprised at how many teams will be mixed.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 16 points 1 day ago

Why does that matter? Men also have divisions and leagues. Team in the top leagues will destroy the leagues at the bottom.

No more men's and women's league, no more "gender eligibility" requirements, a common dresscode, same standards and rules for all.

Edit: since it looks like people missing the word let: the suggestion isn't to force desegregation. It's to allow it or even make it the default. Someone else made a good suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it's weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.

From credit card and payday loan commercials telling us to get into it, to people joking about the amount of debt they're in and also telling you to get into it, debt is a real thing that supposedly nobody should care about. Am I wrong here? Is it just normal to be in debt or should we try to fight this?

After a short discussion on another topic, I was wondering about this.

The Canadian Shield (French: Bouclier canadien [buklje kanadjɛ̃]), also called the Laurentian Shield or the Laurentian Plateau, is a geologic shield, a large area of exposed Precambrian igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. It forms the North American Craton (or Laurentia), the ancient geologic core of the North American continent. Glaciation has left the area with only a thin layer of soil, through which exposures of igneous bedrock resulting from its long volcanic history are frequently visible. As a deep, common, joined bedrock region in eastern and central Canada, the shield stretches north from the Great Lakes to the Arctic Ocean, covering over half of Canada and most of Greenland; it also extends south into the northern reaches of the continental United States. Geographical extent The Canadian Shield is a physiographic division comprising...

When I saw MKBHD on threads available through flipboard, the thought crossed my mind. Wouldn't it be a game changer for the biggest websites to suddenly try to coax users and content creators with "one account to rule them all" solution?
