  • The stage task was absolute cinema

  • Thank you kindly

  • first of all, this disagreements just focuses on the ‘birth’ part, which is not the main part of my original statement. Replace ‘place of birth’ with ‘place of education’ or ‘origins’ and you got the same result.

    Fair enough.

    last, being born male can also comes with innate disadvantages (less tolerance to pain, less flexibility) and acquired disadvantages (less elegance, more competition), not even including the hardship of being trans in our societies and the impacts of transition treatments. ‘Male chromosomes advantages’ mostly are strength and endurance, which are not the only factor in sports.

    So you do acknowledge that there are innate differences between males and females, although you prefer to focus on the disadvantages rather than the advantages.

    Plus most of the factors that disadvantage women in sports come from social background rather than biological ones.

    I would agree with that statement. But that still means that if you equalized the social differences, the biological ones would remain. Although it would be a much smaller discrepancy, it still wouldn't be an even playing field. It's just unfair, and that bothers me.

    And in the end, we cannot observe an overwhelming winrate in favor of trans athletes.

    This isn't a topic where the statistics are helpful whatsoever. The sample size is way too small, and there isn't any control group, so the relative performance of transgender athletes could be significantly affected by any number of variables aside from their transgender status.

  • Yes that does look like vote manipulation. Thank you for notifying us. Those accounts will be banned.

  • You could disassociate with Dessalines by stopping using Lemmy. But you choose not to. Why do you continue to associate yourself with Dessalines by using Lemmy?

    Perhaps because your association with Dessalines is motivated by something completely tangential to his political stances? Then you ought to understand that the same is likely true for Nutomic.

    You're holding people to an impossible standard that you yourself are unable to live up to.

  • Do you ever let the kids play games with butt scooters like these? If not I would highly recommend adding them to your curriculum. Those things were the bomb

  • Everything exists on a spectrum. You're choosing to see things in black and white, but that doesn't correspond to reality. I am absolutely certain that you hold political views that many other people would characterize as unacceptable and unethical. However, I also recognize that even though you may be wrong about certain things, that doesn't completely erase your value as a human being. I can only hope that you someday come to understand this fact.

  • I am being condescending because I consider your perspective to be naive and short sighted.

    You're a person who makes judgments about others based on hearsay and attacks them without even doing a bare minimum of research to validate whether the rumors you heard were true. You're a person who is more than happy to calumniate others for little to no reason while being oblivious to your own flaws.

    In my view, users who believe the world revolves around them and relentlessly attack and shame anyone who doesn't accept their version of reality are a much bigger obstacle to the growth of Lemmy than the tankie reputation. Many tankies fit that description, but so do many non-tankies, such as yourself in this case.

    As someone who possesses open-mindedness and empathy, it's incredibly frustrating to watch so many lemmings act so self-righteous and judgmental towards each other, while pretending their own shit doesn't stink. I'm trying to help contribute and build towards a diverse and healthy online forum for open intellectual discussion, but it seems that the vast majority of people are too immature to realize such a goal.

  • Depending on the sport it can have. Come and try to beat some of the old ones of my town to a game of Pétanque, i guarantee you being born in France would help you.

    If someone was born in France but then moved to another country as an infant and grew up somewhere else, they wouldn't have any advantage at Petanque as a result of being born in France. Thus we can easily observe that the location of birth is not a significant factor in determining ability, but rather the socialization that occurs as a young person can be a factor. We can use the birth location as an imperfect proxy for making assumptions about developmental experiences, but it's not a direct influence.

    In contrast, if someone were born with an XY genotype (male) and socialized as a female from birth, that person would still possess inherent athletic advantages over females. Biological sex has a direct influence over the physical characteristics of an organism.

    It's not a slight difference, it's a fundamental difference that makes your comparison flawed.

  • I am not supporting the Dessalines or his degenerate tankies. I use Windows, that doesn’t mean I “support” Microsoft.

    I understand that. Similarly, just because Nutomic is working with Dessalines to code an open source software project doesn't imply that they share the exact same beliefs.

    I don't get how your analogy relates to this discussion. I'm not sure what it is that you think you're fighting against, but I disagree with your aggressive and judgmental approach. It seems to me that you are provoking unecessary conflict against the wrong people.

  • Evidently, you’re in the wrong with everyone disagreeing with you.

    Flawless logic.

    Is it allowed for people to express disagreement on this community or does everyone always have to agree with you?

  • The geographic location of someone's birthplace has no inherent relevance to their athletic ability.

    Biological sex has a major influence on athletic ability.

    Apples to oranges.

  • I've seen it. I don't agree that it was a transphobic statement.

    I couldn’t find anything about him being a tankie but I didn’t look for very long.

    And yet you're happy to assume anyway. Seems like an unfair and biased judgment on your part.

  • Sure, I understand that. Which is part of the reason I'm skeptical of tankie accusations, because building open source software doesn't seem like the actions of a tankie. The structure of Lemmy is decentralized and grassroots, while tankies tend to support and advocate for centralized and authoritarian structures. So it's kind of the opposite of the purported beliefs of tankies.

  • Nutomic clearly has no issue with this (because if he did, he wouldn’t be working with that degenerate). He also has no issue constant support for russian propaganda demonstrated by his co-admin of ML.

    I don't agree with this assumption. By that logic, one could argue that anyone who uses Lemmy has no issue with those positions (because if we did, we wouldn't be supporting the project of that "degenerate"). Sometimes in life we are forced to accept imperfect allies in order to accomplish our goals.

  • If he is a tankie, then post the evidence. If he is transphobic, post the evidence.

    I don't agree with either of those assertions. To me, this post borders on harassment.
