  1. Are we concerned about tension in the Middle East now? I’ll believe it when I see it. Iran doesn’t actually want war with Israel and the US
  2. (Seriously both sides but) Aren’t most currencies linked/dependent on the USD, especially the Euro? To some extent, don’t we export inflation? Won’t monetary policy in the US impact the rest of the world, especially the western world?
  3. I don’t know shit about that particular case, but I know that a spiked volleyball can cause whiplash and brain injury without any obvious immediate symptoms. The brain interprets sensor data (think eyes, ears) and can essentially forget how to do it due to even mild injury. You then get stuck in a negative feedback/migraine loop that only prescription medication and gradual eye/vestibular PT can break and cure, respectively. My wife spent 6 months suffering ignorant (but specialized) doctors before we found a young neurologist who just happened to know a PT that specialized in this… all due to a spiked (then deflected) volleyball. Women are more susceptible to this sort of brain injury than men.
  4. Ignoring that testosterone level isn’t correlated with skill, wouldn’t leagues like the WNBA inevitably become dominated by relatively low-T men? Imagine the ratings the LTNBA would pull. I don’t see how mass, frequent, testosterone testing in order to divide humans into tiers of athletes is feasible, justifiable, or economically viable. We painfully evolved to today’s systems that works for 99% of participants. I suspect the correct way to include trans athletes is MUCH closer to what we’re currently doing than what you’re proposing, but only time will tell.
  5. I think the issue is that there simply isn’t a solution that’s simultaneously ‘fair’ to biological females and transitioned females. This has been discussed for several years now and I’ve yet to see any brilliant idea. One group or the other justifiably feels wronged. I have no idea what the answer is, but I don’t think it’s fair to have every record ever set by biological females inevitably beaten and buried by transitioned females.
  6. Is this like a housing with an o-ring or a self fusing plastic film? Sounds clever.
  7. Only diehards know what went down with the border bill. The right and fox viewers were convinced that border bill was going to make “terrible Biden and RINO border policies permanent” … they just can’t see anything Trump says or does for what it is. “Independents” aren’t paying enough attention to have any idea so there’s no telling what they’re thinking on immigration. Regardless, it’s encouraging to me that this anti trans sports shit is the issue that Cruz thinks resonates.
  8. Thank you, I refreshed and it was still all fucked. Was afraid it was MY AIDS
  9. There’s a house around the corner sporting a TRUMP: NO MORE BULLSHIT flag that just seems so ironic. How deep is the echo chamber where that makes any sense at all. Our neighborhood is full of children too, so it’s just so classy.
  10. Should go with the tried and true: DONALD TRUMP IS NOT OUR STANDARD
