Is it gender, or is it sex, that matters? This is exactly the point, that it is sex that matters, and specific ruling for intersex conditions also matters.


eh, the article didn't seem to clearly define the differences and I find it boring. People should do whatever they want with their lives and their own genitals. Just don't cheat at sport or pretend that Laurel Hubbard -- who was a modestly good lifter as a man (like... good for a hobby level?) but went to the olympics as an (old for the sport) woman had any business in the olympics. And that Laurel didn't steal a spot from an actual woman who deserved to be there.


Segregation by sex is not arbitrary, and segration by weight isn't either (even if the actual values of the implementation are).

But, anyhow, the thing you're looking for is the "open" format that already exists in other competitions like chess, where there's an open category and then any specific categories.

Ironically, in dance competitions (specially swing dancing at least), the open category is done the newbies, and higher levels have other more speciallized categories: advanced, invitational, ...


Not sure I fully understood what you meant by 'the open category is done'?

Also, from the categories that you mentioned, do you compete in West Coast Swing?


Isn't literally this, but unironically, what dem supporters are doing in the least voted comments here?

Why try to make it as if it was the "opposite side" doing it while I'm reading it?


Because practical measurable result of republican policies are comparably systematically bad.

But, the way pundits and journalists write about it makes, the way discpurse goes systematically pretends literal opposite of reality.


Because Trump is an exception due to his abuse of executive power.

Nothing more consistently ironic than accusations of “TDS” from people who don’t actually have anything at all to actually say.


They have no words to defend his behavior, so they flip the table, and accuse anyone criticizing it of mental illness.


Biden was hated so much that large groups of people chanted "Let's go Brandon" (fuck Joe Biden) in public. There is video evidence of this.

No Democrat politician has ever stated that Republicans have a mental illness for hating Joe Biden. Nor have they come up with a phrase similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome to describe it.

This is why I don't like "both sides" people. Overall Republican voters and their representatives are worse people.


Nothing wrong with being close friends with Epstein? The post about Obama's is just a funny joke?


Are we seriously still doing the TDS meme in this, the Year of Our Lord 2026?

At this point even his own people know he's a psychopath. "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is just another term for "being right all along."


I don't understand what your point is when comparing how similar policies helped general population prosperity in less-well-off countries to the USA you say only benefiting the wealthy.

What should I be getting out of your argument? Asking in good faith.

For example, that there's more to it than that simple rule, or that once a certain level of general population prosperity is reached it stops working, or that impoverished populations have a culture that better benefits from such policies... ?


It's complex; there's no simple answer. Why did China's workers, for example, benefit enormously while US workers did not?

I don't know. It might have been good luck: outsourcing low-wage labor will of course benefit low-wage workers in other countries, and China's workers happened to be the beneficiaries. Maybe China's government, with a strong motivation to transform its economy from widespread and deep poverty (at the time, much poorer than anyone in wealthy nations), designed their trade policy to achieve that result. (People will also give simplistic answers that serve their ideologies, which I'm not addressing.)

The US's and China's policies were necessarily different: One country was outsourcing low-wage work (hopefully replacing it with higher-wage work) and the other was trying to get as much low-wage work as possible. One was exporting and the other importing.

My main, general point was that unless US policy is designed specifically to benefit X, it won't. Often leaders try to smooth over difficulties by claiming some second-order or third-order effect will benefit X, but that doesn't happen. In this case, X was US workers, and the policy was designed specifically to benefit corporations (afaik).


>I don't understand what your point is when comparing how similar policies helped general population prosperity in less-well-off countries to the USA you say only benefiting the wealthy.

Not him but I'd say it suppresses wage bargaining power in the USA or in this case Europe.


The Artist Formerly Known as Prince


Prince changed his name because a corporation had refused to give him control over the work he created, and wouldn't let him release work under the name that he was born with. (Sort of the template for "Taylor's Version" decades later.) And he then used a logo that became the most successful personal logo of all time, not a mishmash of design-by-committee.

So, basically the _opposite_ of an incoherent brand based around training on content that was gathered from creators without consent, being foisted onto employees who didn't ask for it, with an ugly logo that nobody will ever remember.


Moral: don't come for Prince or Anil will come for you :)


So it is indeed true that it is only Micro when it is Soft!


The way you paint it feels akin to the people going back rural or even to the middle of the forest, but in the digital scape which has the possibility of being seen just following a (sometimes quite esoteric) URI.


I know that's a tongue-in-cheek joke, but just in case I'm fond of the plugin unhook.


This is both an operative and healthy take, thank you for sharing.


I'm open to and interested in the thesis and discourse this website supposedly offers, but the medium forcefully expels me.

Perhaps there could be a static 1.0 version we can read or listen to?

edit: Okay, I get it now. It's an automatic aggregator! Only the style auto-change is egregious then, but the actual webapp is great!

another edit, sorry: The call-to-action button should be at the top, not the bottom. On mobile you have to scroll to see it and it can be missed.
