Very nice! I try to be as green as possible. Being poor contributes to that more than anything else lol.
Can’t even remember the last time I’ve had a classic slab of red meat that wasn’t ground already lol. Chicken is so much cheaper. I’m happy to report that dairy will be carbon neutral in the USA by 2050 too. Not separating calves from mom is becoming more and more popular too!
Fire Toolbox is the only one that I’m familiar with. It’s less cleanup and more hiding a bunch of stuff. Adding a bootloader and disabling some of the Amazon tracking.
I don’t think there’s any programs that allow you to straight up nuke the Amazon firmware and side?load your own android or tablet OS.
The difference between users on whatever instance you’re on lol. I’m showing myself at 8 and 0 in Kbin.
Anyone paying for flagship phones has too much money and no need for a camera that great.
Blu and Moto phones all the way.
Have fun purchasing ethical power, food, textiles and electronics unless you’re already rich working at a non fortune-500 company lol.
/me Sad no save KBin noises
Steam wouldn’t even allow people to claim the other games I had already bought last I remember. Pretty sure I tried sharing them on my discord group and it wouldn’t work.

It feels like I’m doing shady backdoor deals. It’s only for the people I conspire with and really close friends…
In which we just end up using regular old sms anyway lol.
What’s Sup?
Nothing much, you?
No, what’s, Sup?
… Just chillen…
Visible anger.

Common Sense Fallacy… concerned citizen…
So are you going to talk about the numerous sauce or???
Right, you can’t. Fallacy fallacy. I’m poking fun at the issue like numerous others have had. So the entire argument is wrong… despite…
Appeal to common sense fallacy!.. Yet it’s where almost all scientific studies come from lol. Also, just because something is a fallacy doesn’t mean the logic isn’t true lol. Black or white fallacy!
It’s only a fallacy if it isn’t true mate.
This isn’t rhetorical roulette. The simple fact is that you can’t refute the studies, you can’t refute the sources, so you refuse to change your position. We literally hang a Progress Pride flag off our porch. Like the other person below, you’re doing way more harm than good to trans rights.
Either get with the times and help, or stop trolling and ruining the perception of trans folk online by refusing reality. The current rules need to be changed. Top athletes have changed their position ex posto facto realizing how much of an advantage they had within those 2 years after transitioning for decades. Science is showing that people retain advantages after for even longer than 1-2 years. At the top levels of Sport, advantages as small as 1% is the different between even qualifying and medaling.
It’s an issue. It’s going to take time to resolve. No, swinging the pendulum too far the other direction isn’t good, it ruins arguments. Yes, you’re human just like those trolls, it doesn’t mean you should be falling for the same stick your fingers in your ears obstinance,

Begone, transphobe.
Sounds more like you’re a closed minded bigot who has already made up their mind despite being shown evidence to the contrary.
It’s not a very becoming look for someone who presumably wants progress for trans folk. You can’t just stuff your head in the sand the moment science begins to sway a different direction. It’s not how science or reality works. It’s not Adam Savage’s most well known catchphrase.
These are important discussions and you’re literally harming trans people by acting this petulant and childish. Quit with the persecution act and show your sources. This ain’t Truth Social lmfao.
Thanks for the update.
I’ve also went and provided numerous and a variety of sources, direct studies, and reputable news sites disagreeing with the nearly decade old science the ALWAYS RIGHTEOUS OLYMPIC COMMITTEE based their decision on from an apparently single cherrypicked study in 2015?
I’d agree it looks like a 2 year wait requirement is a much better factor than the current single year though. Until then though, it needs changed. Then we will need more refuting the current I’ve linked above which shows pretty handily across the board that MtF athletes retain advantages well after a year and longer.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve provided lots of sauce now too and will continue editing as I pull them up almost in order on Google lol.
Science completely disagrees in so many studies. Let alone the personal opinions of trans athletes in the world themselves lol.
Like you two, I’ve provided sauce above. Most of it far more recent than several years ago as if pointing to a single study refutes any other lol.
Edit: It sounds like you’re referencing old studies. And the Olympic Committee isn’t exactly known for being on top of science or neutral lol. It’s nearly decade old science in a field that still needs a lot of data.
In 2015, IOC invited Harper to attend its Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism held in Lausanne, Switzerland. After 3 days, the panel of scientists and physicians converged on revised rules for transgender competitors, including at least 1 year of hormone replacement therapy for female competitors, rather than the 2 years previously required. That change was a nod to Harper’s personal transition experience and to research published in 2004 in the European Journal of Endocrinology showing that the testosterone levels—and therefore performance—of 19 transgender women stabilized after 12 months of hormone therapy.
More news showing it’s unfair. Just go see my original.
Yeah, non-trans women don’t enjoy being forever 2nd because they weren’t born men in physically competitive sport lol.
It doesn’t take years long studies to understand a woman who transitioned well into or after puberty is still built more physiologically man than women. We will still need data about those who transitioned early and before onset. When a man transitions into being a woman then wipes the floor with every one of her peers, there’s something wrong.
You either need mixed gender sport. Male only, and female only. The regulations regarding each will have to be arbitrarily chosen until a good spot is found.
Mental sports that take near zero physical strength should have zero separations between the genders though.
It was great when women started wiping the floor with men at Shooting lol.
It’s not so great when, well, Bill Burr says it funnier lol: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2ESahoCdQ28
Edit: Since people want sauce wars…
Trans athletes retaining advantages even after a year or HRT.

Given that the percentage difference between medal placings at the elite level is normally less than 1%, there must be confidence that an elite transwoman athlete retains no residual advantage from former testosterone exposure, where the inherent advantage depending on sport could be 10–30%. Current scientific evidence can not provide such assurances and thus, under abiding rulings, the inclusion of transwomen in the elite female division needs to be reconsidered for fairness to female-born athletes.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9331831/ - 2022 Aug; 19
When a male athlete transitions to female, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which governs college sports, requires a year of hormone-suppressing therapy to bring down testosterone levels. The N.C.A.A. put this in place to diminish the inherent biological advantage held by those born male.
Ms. Thomas followed this regimen.
But peer reviewed studies show that even after testosterone suppression, top trans women retain a substantial edge when racing against top biological women…
Testosterone levels are crucial but do not invariably predict performance in every sport.

Renee Richards interview…
“I know if I’d had surgery at the age of 22, and then at 24 went on the tour, no genetic woman in the world would have been able to come close to me,” she said in an interview. “I’ve reconsidered my opinion.”
The council said they ultimately decided to prioritize “fairness and the integrity” of the female competition over inclusion.
The World Athletics Council plans to form a working group to consider the issue of transgender inclusion over the next year. The committee will speak with transgender athletes to seek their perspective, review research on the matter and submit recommendations to the council.
However, we do have evidence - we have 13 studies that show significant retained advantage. We have a number of other studies of males with lower testosterone levels with prostate cancer, we know what happens with training, and so I think collectively the picture is quite strong to suggest that advantages are retained.
So I would be quite confident at this point that a policy that regulates women’s sport by excluding male advantage, which includes trans women, is the evidence-based one.

In this study, we confirmed that use of gender affirming hormones are associated with changes in athletic performance and demonstrated that the pretreatment differences between transgender and cis gender women persist beyond the 12 month time requirement currently being proposed for athletic competition by the World Athletics and the IOC.10 This study suggests that more than 12 months of testosterone suppression may be needed to ensure that transgender women do not have an unfair competitive advantage when participating in elite level athletic competition.

There ever been a decent alternative for YikYak made yet? I miss those days lol.
AACAB I can get behind lol. ACAB half the time is just straight up internet trolls and instigators. Meanwhile the same people love to espouse shit like how the wealthy are the real oppressors while ignoring most police are only firmly low-middle class. There are way more people getting into that job who just happened into it like most people in the world. While yes, the abusers and psychopaths are attracted to the job for the above, the separation of powers in places like that are wide. Just like they would be in most businesses. Let alone the real deal PTSD they have to deal with daily to weekly in som areas.
Any direct supervisors for teams that have pretty full automony know it’s impossible to track what they do constantly. So much of it is based on the trust system and good faith actors speaking out when they see something. Throw in some bystanders effect and benefit of the doubt for people who’d normally be good to you but a monster in the shadows… I’m not envious of police one bit, or the people trying to make change from the inside. Which is the only real way it’s going to happen despite internet tough guys espousing otherwise while refusing to pay taxes for shit like mental health services lol. Elected local/state politicians, DAs, also being the people who could make those changes. Also equally vilified.
It’s way more complicated than people give it credit for when you’re actually trying to make change. For most people trying to get by, best thing you can do is vote.
