This is why this debate is stupid. The people having it are arguing against people who have actually played sport their whole lives. I watched an 8th grade travel team decimate what I thought was our very good team. They had a kid show up that was over 6 (in 8th fucking grade) that could play above the rim. He was unstoppable. That kid would easily be a starter in the WNBA and would smash Griner back to Russia. Get 15 or so of those kids and put them up against any WNBA team you want to put together and they’d win handily.
That’s the point. Trans-women athletes are essentially testosterone doping. They’ve got more muscle mass, and a heavier bone structure. That doesn’t go away after the transition. The British Journal of Sports Medicine confirmed that.
In non-competitive leagues, I could care less…everyone can play with everyone…it’s fine. When you’re talking about the Olympics and college sports where the girls have trained their whole lives for a given event only to be beat out by someone who got to take the equivalent of human growth hormones and testosterone is unfair.
Now, what did we see in reality?
We saw a middling to low level male power lifter make the Olympics at 43. That’s insane.
Britney Griner is definitely worse than all of those 550 men.
You understand the WNBA all stars would be beat handily by an 8th grade all star team right? It wouldn’t be close.
Is roller derby a real sport?
It’s the NASCAR of women’s sport.
It’s a reasonable assumption. But hell…I think even a bucket of pizza rolls is still slightly healthier for you than a super sized value meal.
I don’t disagree with you. But I think even the the most unholy compulsive eater will do a little better if they can get away from fast foods.
That’s about the same as half a fairly modest frozen pizza and a soda.
Had to look that up. So…Totino’s party pizza (which I eat every once in a while if I’m being a total slob)…It’s 700 calories for the whole thing, plus throw in a 16oz pepsi and you’re still at only 900 calories. (Which I only drink diet these days)
It doesn’t sound like a big difference, but that’s still usually 100-300 calories less than fast food. They’re both shit for you, but if you get to the brass tacks, those 100-200 calories per meal add up quickly.
That’s 20 extra minutes of light exercise per meal.
(The other thing…I looked up the cheap frozen dinners…they’re surprisingly not bad. Banquet, which you can get for 1-2$ usually, is only 400 calories. The higher priced ones (“Big Man”) things are only 600-700. Again, terrible food, but still healthier and cheaper than McDonald’s)
Anyway…the point…It’d be hard for me to make something as unhealthy as McDonald’s at home. I’ve done it (Eggs Benedict for example), but it took a lot of work.
I can’t fathom what I have at home that’s worse for me than a 1200 calorie value meal.
I’d really have to go out of my way to make something that calorie dense and still edible.
According to the law, it is. (Even without castle doctrine a random stranger trying to gain entry into your house is usually grounds for self defense).
If the kid didn’t open the door, then I agree with you. But even the kid admitted to at least grabbing the handle of the door. I’d personally never do that at stranger’s or even an acquaintance’s house.
From a moral standpoint, please don’t try to walk into stranger’s houses uninvited.
To me the key point was did the kid open the door? I’ve seen conflicting reports about it.
Also, I hate HOAs as much as anyone, but I have no idea how they are involved in this one.
That’s the plan. He just needs to cash out first.
Every HR department ever says that exact same thing. Even while the company is burning down and past bankruptcy.
Edit: For example, the fortune 50 I worked for insisted the same thing. Even when faced with industry data…they’d insist the Glassdoor and Indeed numbers were fake.
I left and got a 90% raise. That’s not a joke number.
You’re actually getting applicants at 80k? That’s nuts. Last I checked fresh outs were clearing 100k.
I wonder how much Walmart paid for that lawsuit.
You can’t make a stand and ignore the realities of the world around you. Competition for work is a very valid concern if you’re about to strike.
I just don’t get what the end game is for this. Let’s say all of gen Z quits tomorrow over this. All of tech will simply move to Brazil, Eastern Europe, and India.
Since there’s really no social safety net, and we don’t give a fuck about the homeless…they do what exactly?
For example…the fortune 50 I worked at for a while has enough money to stop selling all their products and still be solvent for about a century at their current spend.
If they faced a general strike, they can hold out for generations. How long can the average American hold out for?
This general audience of this site feels like 15-25…they don’t realize the kind of power the big players have.
Keep aspiring…meanwhile India is chomping at the bit to get this job, they’ll do it for pennies on the dollar, and depending on the worker, they’ll be fucking good at it.
I won’t work for a company that scores less than 4. (Depending on the size, but that’s generally the shit hole threshold)

That’s kind of my point…they have no idea what the risks are. I don’t really even think this is a shitty corporate thing. When I do a background check and something like this comes up, I’m not hiring this person. What if she publicly humiliates my company, or my team, or one of my teammates.
You can publicly humiliate me, I’m too old to give a shit.
This will come up on social background checks for the rest of her life. No one is going to risk a hire like that. Especially for something like sales where sales people are a dime a dozen.
Eh…I’m all the words according to Lemmy. The crowd here seems to all be 13-22 year old ultra liberals. I’m liberal, just not hardcore bleeding edge jump of the left cliff liberal.
