No, it’s very different. We’re not talking about 90%+ of women, we’re talking about the women who previously held records, who now can no longer compete because we’ve expanded the definition of “woman” to include anyone who claims to be one

To put this another way: any argument that boils down to “the free market will solve it” is complete bullshit because it doesn’t account for these people.

I agree that it's the banks but do you have any evidence to support your claims that it's the christian right?

You know that's not what swatting is right? It's when you call the police and falsely claim that someone is raping children in their basement or some other horrible crime so that a group of men with guns show up and arrest them. I

My understanding is that the payment processors hold the power here. https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-mastercards-new-porn-rules... CESTA/FOSTA definitely plays a part, but why would mastercard wait until 2021 to make

Do they? More crimes means a lower solved crime rate, which looks reflects poorly on the city's leadership.

It's important to remember that this was in the past. The FBI, as well as every other three-letter-agency, are the good guys now, and they are totally ashamed of doing those things. They're definitely not doing anything like t

Another brilliant move in the game of "let's only allow US approved opinions while claiming to be unbiased." Next up we'll be allowed to deadname russian trans people!

It's insane to me that people don't think this way. The mainstream US media, in perfect lockstep with the gov, told us all that iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and then we found out it was a complete fabrication. And most of

I give a shit, and with all the talk of how dangerous misinformation is, it seems like a lot of people should. At least, that is what we’re told. I can kind of understand the notion that it’s meant to boost morale, but the idea that western

Thank you for saying this. I really can't stand the "west good, everyone else bad" arrogance I see here sometimes. Western rulers lie to their people too! As an exercise, search for "the ghost of kyiv" and then try

Could you elaborate? Is this just something you noticed, or are you referring to some publicly available metric?

It’s not just clickbait though. If the US wants a war, chances are most mainstream news organizations will all agree. If the US wants to expand the surveillance state, most mainstream news will tell us why it’s necessary. If the US wants to

I have tinnitus and I can see it too. Tinnitus is a constant ringing in one or both ears. Constant, as in it is always there. There is no true silence anymore, because the ringing is always there. There is also no cure, and really no cert

Have you used them though? I have two steam controllers and the "mouse circles" are pretty finicky. I'm sure the pads on the deck will be better, but I still doubt they will be precise enough for a game like factorio. I hope

I think this is why it just rubs me the wrong way. I think twitter is an awful medium for anything substantial, so if I were her, I would have written a blog post or something instead. I'm also aware that twitter is probably better for
