Ice Station is sitting on my bookshelf and I think you’re severely underestimating nerds who enjoy over the top action.

New chess grandmaster strat just dropped

My school’s bus, which was used only for sporting events and trips, was an actual prison bus. It still had restraint attachment points and the bars on the windows.

It was brilliant for psyching out the other football teams.

The issue with Vista was almost solely the lack of driver support for anything.

Vista caused a lot of vendors to slowly but surely start updating drivers for their products and enabled Windows 7 to have a much smoother launch.

Really Win7 stands on the shoulders of Vista.

That was my shoplifting tactic when I was a kid.

Well not the backseat part, I hid chocolates in my bike helmet and always bought something like a drink.

All the idiots that didn’t buy anything got caught instantly.

Teaching children about all the contraception options they won’t be able to access in the future seems weird and ineffective.

Congrats you just realised the mygov ID is being slowly but surely pushed towards being mandatory for access to any online services.

They perceive they are losing out because of the economy. Look at the places that vote red; they have all lost manufacturing and gone backwards in standard of living.

No the demographics of voters are very real and the Kamala campaign spent virtually no time convincing cis white males that their lives would be better under Kamala.

Virtually everyone votes out of self interest. Trying to convince people to vote out of altruism while they perceive they will be losing out isn’t going to work.

Surely the polarisation of politics, in part due to painting cis white men as colonising evil bastards at every opportunity, has nothing to do with the current state of politics.

I didn’t say sex was a spectrum

It helps if you read and comprehend the comment chain to understand what is being discussed before you jump in with ‘I didn’t say that’ when I never claimed you did.

I don’t see why it’s so hard for you to actually read the comment chain. It is right there. You can re-read it at any time.

You can’t believe people would be angry that someone illegally kept an animal an forced it to perform for his own profit?

You must be really unfamiliar with the history of animals in circus performances.

One that was being kept illegally? Probably worth a fine

The newer vaccine is far less painful and even then, there’s not much that’s as bad as rabies.

You want to avoid rabies harder than anything other than being immolated… and really that still might be preferable because it is faster.

I think I was fairly clear, it is a binary system that has some rare exceptions.

Saying sex is a binary is saying there are only males and only females.

In healthy examples of mammals where development has occurred normally this is true.

This whole ‘its a spectrum’ argument is like saying humans aren’t bipedal, there’s a spectrum because some people are born without legs! It doesn’t make any sense.

That doesn’t mean that society should refuse to accept, include and support people born without the ability to walk.

their existence proves that sex isn’t just a binary.

This argument has always struck me as odd as in virtually every other discussion we would accept that the exception ‘proves the rule’.

Humans have two hands, except when they don’t due to something impacting fetal development.

Humans have two kidneys, except when they don’t due to an error in fetal development or as a result of disease or injury.

There’s diversity to sex that requires a more complicated scheme to account for everybody.

Or just let the exceptions be exceptions with no social stigma rather than refusing to recognise that the vast majority of humans, and mammals, can be accurately identified as one of two distinct sexes.

You still haven’t admitted the claim they came from some rocks is bullshit. You just keep dodging like the terminally online redditor you really are.

Seriously turn the computer and phone off and go touch some grass.

Seriously? Punching down because I pointed out how unscientific claims should not be repeated as if they hold any weight?

Maybe just accept that they have a belief that doesn’t make sense, since it isn’t hurting anyone.

No. Treating idiotic claims as if they had any merit because you see them as harmless is dangerous. All misinformation is harmful.

Unlike the racist

I know this is super difficult for you to comprehend because of how terminally online you are but I never disputed that Hancock is a racist. That isn’t even an argument that is happening outside of your head.

I know you’re the most terminally online person on lemmy (and second is a distant place) but get some perspective please. I suggest you touch grass.

I like how you continue to dodge the fact the indigenous peoples claims they come from a fucking rock is ridiculous when I have already agreed that Hancock is a con man.

So it’s bullshit, which granted it is pretty harmless, but it’s still bullshit when discussing the origins of people.

It doesn’t deserve to be repeated in an article about someone denying science. That claim also denies science (and common sense).
