  • I think we might be well past the days of honest natural sport. Thats not me saying we should be cheating, but trying to get back to that isnt possible, we have to figure this out moving forward not just for women or trans people but for all the other ways science affects sports.

    Its not natural that someone with enough money for the best training science can provide them is almost guaranteed to be in the top percentiles of their sport.

    What’s interesting is that this has been true since at least roman times, with funding going towards training and gear, even if the participants themselves might not be wealthy.

    Yeah its really a perspective and lifestyle thing, although I’m at the point where I might actually turn something down if it meant I was required to carry around any more than I do now unless it was worth it, like for a job.

    I won’t even do small chain rewards cards or any of that nonsense, and none of their apps work with a degoogled phone anyways, so I just pay extra to not have to deal with it.



  • Because to those outside of religion, its a choice to be religious. All of those least worst Muslims or good Muslims or good Christians or whatever you want to say, all should not be in those religions to begin with.

    I’m not saying to destroy the community, break off and make your own “fuck the shitty versions of our religions” sect.

    At some point people need to be held to their decisions, despite the community social pressure aspect, as the only way to counter that is equal and opposite pressure.

    If you can figure out how to remain in a religion and cause that kind of backlash then I suppose you would be the exception.

    Just to summarize, all religions are bad, so being part of them is bad too, even if you are a good person. Can’t be a good Nazi right?


  • Aren’t you being purposefully obtuse by refusing to consider the idea of a battery swappable phone that is IP68 certified? Its almost certainly going to happen with the line of phones in Europe that will have swappable batteries and it’s not even that far into the future.

    I think this post is about change moving forward, not making sure our past decisions were sound.

    I think the reasons people move to cities in the US might not be the same as in the EU. Arguably quality of life peaks, in the US, in the surrounding suburbs of major cities. The closer you get to downtown the more expensive and the more difficult it is to do things.

    In Europe I get the impression moving to larger cities actually does improve a lot of aspects of life on an individual basis.

    For example, we have considered moving to New York or Chicago but what stops us is the amount of money needed and how difficult it can be just to keep up with a regular life in a city that dense and hostile.
