Idk who voiced this but I actually thought at first it was the same voice actors from this game cause they also refer to one of them as "Baz" or "Basil".

Same humor style.

Pretty sure they are comedians irl.

That's what the guy who made this review video said.

Accuracy of archery isn't as dependent on arm strength beyond what a trained woman can provide.

Sure some sports like running should be separated.

But it's not that many. We can look at scores to determine which sports actually need separated. Instead of assuming they need separated.

Even billiards and golf is separated. For no biology reason.

Most separation came about because men wouldn't allow women into their sports so women formed their own.

Chess, like many male-centric activities has historically excluded women. This is why women are in lower numbers for many professions and hobbies. They arent welcome. The men are hostile to them. It's not easy to stay in a hobby/profession where you aren't respected and everyone gives you the cold shoulder.

The fact that biological women can and do perform at mens levels proves it's a social exclusion, not a biological one.

It's kind of why men are lower in numbers in women's hobbies/professions. Except that it isn't necessary exclusion by women but mocking by other men and having their masculinity challenged.

There are plenty of men who are great at sewing, design, cooking, and even child rearing who are cis hetero men. Only in the last 15 or 20 years has it became more acceptable for men to have baking as a hobby. Before then, cooking was women's work. Most men could barely use a microwave and would brag at their incompetence in the kitchen as an indicator of their masculinity.

I know it all gets so old so fast but these things still occur. Think of all the men who might be amazing seamstress or clothing designers. Or maybe could come up with new tasty foods to eat. Yet our society says they aren't real men if they venture out into these areas. And often they are mockes mostly by other men but even women are part of the problem and are known to mock men or ask them "are you gay or something?" When they tell you they love knitting in their free time.

How is knitting related to sexual preferences? I don't know but many people seem to think it is.

These gender role trends take a long time to change. And take specific interventions to change them. They don't change on their own.

Gordon Ramsey probably had a big role in changing the baking one. As crazy as that sounds. ( And other male chiefs and cooks on TV. )

Yeah your point about genetics proves my point.

Genetic Sex isn't binary in the first place.

That's why trying to make hard rules based on chromosomes or what genital parts are visible is invalid.

It's important to remember that all these activities we say are "for men" or "for women". Were invented long long after sexes existed and even 40,000-50,000 years or more after humans evolved into who we are today.

(estimate based on unknown age of humans).

I mean chess. Making clothes. Knitting. Archery even.

How could humans possibly evolve so that one sex is good at those things and the other isn't. ?

That's just silly. It's much more likely we are all cognitively capable and have similar dexterity with variations in genetics accounting for differences between individuals. Not between sexes.

Obviously some physical strength differences. Men have upper body strength and women have lower body for carrying babies.

But that's almost all of the difference there is. Just those related to reproduction.

I always thought I must have a weird voice or something because the text to speech has also never worked well for me. I was playing No Man's Sky game. Multiplayer game. and talking to another player. And it has an auto voice to text thing that displays on the screen. I guess so people can participate in the conversation via typing. I know they also had tried to make a universal translator for players. Which was not working great last time i tried it.

But it's been a few years

ANYWAY

Chat was happening in a place where multiple other players were able to see or join the conversation.

This time I was verbally chatting with some guy about mission steps and it was showing me saying the weirdest shit and it read like I was hitting on him. It wasn't even close to what I was actually saying.

I pointed it out mid convo like. "Dude did you see what the text is showing I said?"

We had a laugh about it but honestly it was a bit awkward though I knew the guy well enough we could laugh it off. Other people reading it (you can only listen in if you are connected with a mic) probably were thinking I was trying to hook up with this dude.

Im a woman player so the last thing I want is to make it look like I'm chatting up male players and open for business. 🤦

I've just never got it to work for me. And I'm deeply untrusting of it for causing me problems.

I swear I talk normal with minimum accent. Idk.

There are like 10 trans athletes in the u.s.

Most are in sports that wouldn't be dependent on gender. Like billiards. Archery.

Also I saw recently a bonafide xx chromosome woman beat all the men in a strong competition.

Something a lot of people don't know is that trans women often have partial bottom surgery. Removal of testicles. And they take female hormones.

They might have male bone structure but they no longer get the male hormones that increase their muscle mass.

I acknowledge it's a complex issue with different arguments to be had.

But it's really important to note this is literally a handful of people. A handful.

And it's not like trans women are beating the cis women at everything.

They aren't.

There doesn't really seem to be any advantage beyond what a cis woman with good athletic genes also has.

Most trans women aren't athletic. So it's not even that they all have this matched advantage.

Just some

Just like how some women have it.

It's not really predicted by being trans, is my point.

Who wants to bet trump says he's going to cut funding unless they comply? His whole play book is extortion.

It's true you can pry open the the cover. So that's limited security. But cars have been putting filters things in the line for years to keep hoses out and potatos or whatever else people might try to put down there.

Of course there are ways to get past these (I assume). But I don't know how.

I was told by someone who used to steal gas, that these are common in cars now. That it's very hard to get a hose into the tank.

Easier to steal out of motorcycles (without locking caps) and lawnmowers.

I just messaged a mechanic friend of mine to see what he says. I'll report back.

So something that happens a lot in history is there is this yoyo effect of extremism.

Once one extremist is in power who inevitably fucks everyone, the people want an extremist on the other side.

Unfortunately it's usually the exact same kind of person. The people think it will be different but it won't.

Example. The French revolution begot Napoleon.

Lenin and subsequently Vyacheslav Molotov begot Joseph Stalin and now Putin.

It doesn't always go bad like those two examples. But it's a product of how angry people get and how they want an extremist to punish the people who are responsible for disaster.

I myself feel like I want this.

I want the next president to hold so many people accountable.

What kind of person would that be ?

It's a slippery slope. We could get a self righteous narcissist or someone who just wants justice.

It might be hard to tell which way someone is. (I'm sure I would know but I mean for the masses. Remember, many votes for Trump in the first place though I do believe there was election tampering tbh). Still.

I think Tucker and mtg are the bad versions. And I worry that they might win over people for their vocal opposition and promises of accountability.

It would be their best chance of moving up ranks to make that stance.

Stock market makes no sense and is a scam.

Inside trading is rampant and I'm pretty sure the stock market is why everything is going to shit. I mean. It's a big part of the capitalism machine.

I helped out a random stranger the other day. Not gonna tell the long story but He kept saying God must have guided me and God must be looking out for me too.

I didn't want to get into with him but No bro. I helped you because I saw you needed help. And figured I was in a position to do so. I had some extra time that day and just happened to be where you were.

Wasn't God.

I help people when I can because why not ? The relief on someone's face is enough payment. Plus I feel guilty when I don't help when I can. Not from fear of damnation but my empathy requires I do something.

Strangers have helped me in the past. I know how much of a difference that can make.

It's just frustrating to have your own "good" behaviors constantly assumed to be caused by God.

No. I chose to help. Me. No one else was involved. Isn't that a better lesson anyway? That there are people who help from a place of support rather than fear of judgement. ? Or some divine force ?

Who knows how many saints were just atheists showing some common decency and empathy.

Yeah I do the same. Plus I'm prone to a double space which auto capitalizes the next Letter. So now I just delete the period and keep the capital letter. So people know I'm real.

Human production has increased many times over.

I'm so tired of hearing we need more young people to support the retired.

No. There is plenty of money from the huge increases in production thanks to all that technology.

It's just that :

1. The workers aren't getting any of the profits from their increased productivity and subsequently, the government isn't getting the taxes from it.

2. The government isn't taxing the billionaires who are hoarding the money that would be more than enough to cover the expenses.

Both are part of the problem but the 2nd one is the biggest.

We were promised that we would all be working less since production is so efficient now.

And yet we work more and more. Even though profit margins keep increasing.

If things were balanced, the average person would be working less and be living more comfortably.

He's kind of a mild celebrity of the community.

I thought it would be fun to give him a shout out

Cake day. But it's Lemmy. Chicken egg symbol shows on 1 day old accounts next to user name.

Pretty sure it's mostly Latino women doing underpaid caregiving for rich white people now.

The important thing to note is AI is trained on real images. Which means grok is full of child and adult pornography.

Where did they scrap all that cp from ?

Honestly it all sounds like they just need some better lawyers and a non trump judge. And they have a right to request a trial by jury

We ain't acquaintances, bro

Ok that tracks then
