It’s how dishwashers work: more cycles = more rinsing, then later rinse it all off.

You could do a quick pre-wash, then a long cycling of water, and lastly a rinse with clean water.

So this is how the furry subculture started

That cis women playing against trans women is unfair. As said above, the actual data proves that this is not the case. Of course it’s undeniably true that reactionary dudes (and maybe even women) feel like things are unfair, but the actual facts invalidate that feeling.

The discretized, simplified middle school biology you’re invoking here is simply not a precise enough model to depict reality.

Trans women aren’t “male” from a muscle development perspective, as they don’t have a male hormone profile lol.

Nah, that’s simply not true if you look at the actual data about how well trans athletes perform.

Both things can be true at the same time. E.g. people sometimes are worked up thinking about some strawman they are discussing against in their head. So when I don’t virtue signal enough that I’m on their team or at least not against entirely against every single thing they stand for, those people sometimes take a very clear and to the point thing I say or ask and misconstrue it into meaning some horrific, morally objectionable thing.

Like, when people say that burning kittens on BBQs is a huge problem that we need to band together against, and I reply that I doubt that this is a widespread enough or well enough organized phenomenon that banding together would be effective, they take it as me admitting that I’m pro kitten-burning.

Sure, I failed to coddle them and front my opinion with how abhorrent those kitten burners are, but also nothing I said implied that in the slightest. I just thought that didn’t need mentioning, why say something so obvious?

But you did insult. You asserted that living in a city isn’t a voluntary choice, therefore taking agency away from people who choose to live in a city.

You’re both pivoting (now you’re suddenly talking about production) and wrong. Cities produce cross pollination between minds. Art, science, philosophy. Cities are where the ideas for photovoltaics were seeded and developed. Cities are where most music genres emerged.

We live in a world where currently, the most popular alternative to city living is being a narrow-minded redneck who holds their gas guzzler as the ultimate expression of freedom. Anarchist communes in the countryside might be part of the solution, but I bet you that what’s going on in and around the city will also play a vital role.

Seems like you grew up in a very puritanical place.

Nudity is objectively neutral.

What an asinine take. I choose to live in a city because I can meet many different friends in many different interesting spots, where we can e.g. eat excellent iterations of different cuisines.

All without sitting my ass in a car and driving for an hour to meet a single couple that lives in some other hamlet. Or having to plan the exact amount of drinks and food to consume before the evening starts. And I can do that multiple times per week if I please.

You like living in the countryside, I get it. Don’t pretend that’s somehow objectively better lol

Ah, you’re “from US state” too?

Judging from how I completely missed that and read it as “right-wing” I just assume it’s autocorrect gone wrong with no editor spotting it either

If you read the article, you will see that two thirds (so also his voters) take the hush money trial seriously.

That wasn’t my question

What do you mean? Don’t you think transitioning to mostly renewables while coal and gas go down are good things?

Try reading the article. Coal went down drastically.

Until? The “hunter gatherer, then farmer” progression is a story, not reality. People sometimes did one in summer, the other in winter. Or gave up farming when they found nice herds.

Thank you!

Do you have a link without paywall?

Definitely. Who ever trusts conservatives to stick to their word about not doing a coalition with fascists?

This is AfD, our resident fascist clown party. At least we have a coalition based democracy, so it’s unlikely that they take over the less fascist “center”-right party.

Yeah, a measurement cup is half a pint. They are defined volumes
