6,000 crickets released directly in the audience. (I hope from multiple points.) This is glorious. 😁

Maybe you don’t mind if a cricket jumps on you. I’d shudder and shake it off, demonstrating my lack of courage and dexterity. A lot of people will scream, jump around, or run.

Picture these assholes attending their favorite panel at TransphobiaCon. A cricket jumps on someone, she brushes it away in disgust. Another just feels something caught in her hair. She bats at it, looks into it’s beady, insectoid eyes and screams. More screams. The Transphobe in Charge can’t hold the audience’s attention.

There is some sort of insect infestation. Are they harmful? They don’t know. But they have to cancel their homophobia speech because nobody wants to sit in a room with thousands of crickets.

This is straight out of an 80’s movie and I am here for it!

100% the first one, but absolutely hilarious in any case.

Yeah, that’s about what I’m thinking. A manned mission to Mars could be an interesting project for our kids or grandkids. Anyone talking about it in our lifetimes is just a grifter.

When it comes to sports there really is not any question any more. Again, I’m not a physician, but any given sports body can determine what a trans woman needs to do to compete on a level playing field with cis women.

This is best evidenced by the lack of trans women superstars. Despite the Daily Wire’s recent magnum opus, trans women compete and lose all the time in women’s sports, it’s only the transphobes who have a problem with them competing at all.

I love the aesthetic. I fully support Art Deco public transportation.

A bus designed by someone who absolutely hates public transportation is pretty funny though. “I wish these seats faced each other so I could sit knee to knee with a stranger.” -Nobody Ever

And there’s so little passenger space, they have a “luggage” compartment in the front. So I suppose I’m just supposed to put my bag there, out of my sight, then hope nobody takes it before I get off?

Can you think of any realistic benefit to a manned mission to Mars?

Bringing back samples would be an amazing feat, and that seems a worthwhile mission. Having a human onboard seems to complicate things far more than any data that would give us would be worth.

Lol. Can’t imagine why someone would call you transphobic for “lump in the trans with the disabled”. LMAO.

I regret being so polite earlier. ✌🏾

Happy Birthday!

Maybe

Granted, I think a human stomach is more difficult to traverse than a frog, and it’s more likely that it came in the back door. I’m just not willing to rule it out.

The signal to noise ratio is so low these days. There’s so much information out there but everyone wants to profit from you before you can get it. Even worse, the people with good information generally can’t buy as big a megaphone as the people who profit from lying to you.

Honestly, I think humans have been more likely to believe an easy lie than a hard truth all along, but it’s easier than ever these days.

I suspect it would be difficult to generate enough data to intentionally change a dataset. There are certainly little holes, like the glue pizza thing, but finding and exploiting them would be difficult and noticing you and blocking you as a data source would be easy.

Thank you for your reply. I don’t think we disagree that much, but I’m afraid we may be miscommunicating a bit.

What determines “biological sex”?

Chromosomes? Except someone with Androgen Insensitivity may have XY chromosomes, but physically appear to be female.

Genitalia? But we have intersex people with ambiguous genitalia

Testosterone? Caster Semanya

Full disclosure: this seems more your field than mine. I don’t think I’m educating you, just trying to clarify my point. It seems like you’re arguing against “There’s no such thing as assigned gender at birth”. What I’m saying that there is no objective way to categorize all humans into neat little sex boxes. Biological sex is a spectrum with most people either at the “male” point or the “female” point, but some examples everywhere in between.

I’m not going to form a solid opinion about someone with one tweet. I will certainly keep an eye out for more information.

(I don’t think using Lemmy profits this person? I don’t know. I care much more about supporting someone who may be transphobic than just knowing they exist.)

“Biological male” is a meaningless term generally used by transphobes. And the whole debate is transphobic on its face. Nobody cares about women’s sports at all, and now people jumping to"defend their sanctity" are just goofy.

I’m sorry, apparently I can’t read. I somehow glossed over that part. Thanks for the clarification.

I’m new here. I don’t really know anything about the Lemmy devs.

But…that tweet is not particularly transphobic? I’m going to take a hard look at anyone who uses the phrase “the transgender topic”. But if that’s the best proof that the Lemmy devs are transphobic, it’s not terribly convincing.

Not really sure how I misread the tweet.

A cab with no driver is just an incredibly expensive gender neutral toilet. I shudder to think what will be done in these if they ever exist.

Didn’t he say full self drive was two years away at least 5 years ago?

That’s not the same story?

By “How 2016 turned out” you mean the Democrats ran a conservative, establishment Democrat when literally everyone was saying we want change? Then she was beaten by an “outsider” and the Democrats went all ‘shocked Pikachu face’ and blamed progressives for their choices?

Dems think that we owe them our votes while they refuse to represent us. That is not democracy.
