Footage of Resetera during the Iran attack announcement.

Why didn't he announce all the countries that mobilised to shoot the drones down?

Current headlines show everything that is wrong in the west today and these journos should all be in jail

"Israel fears second strike"
"Iran deals powerful blow"
"Israeli economy under pressure"
"Muh muh muh gaza muh muh free palestine"
etc. etc.

The headlines should be focused on the interceptions and the big victory against evil.  

"RONALD REAGAN WOULD BE PROUD - WE SHOT THEM OUT OF SPACE"
"OPERATION MAVERICK, F35 WINS THE DAY IN HEROIC DEFENSE OF HOLY LAND"
"IRON DOME STRONG AS STEEL"

Footage of Resetera during the Iran attack announcement.

And this is why it's hard to vibe with the pro-palestine side. So much for "ceasefire now" btw.

It's actually worse than that because at least with right-wing glory porn, it's incredibly obvious and is almost always so bad that it turns into an unintentional comedy.

A political film that chooses to be vague and centrist is far worse than an overtly right-wing film.

This actually goes back to Marxism. "Ideology" in Marxism isn't the way we use it colloquially, it means something more like imputed religious beliefs rather than true personal belief structure, and exists as part of the superstructure and stems from the class you were born into. So you may think your "ideology" is that you support liberalism or capitalism or whatever, it can be anything, but it's actually you trying to justify maintaining your class in power. Engels also suggested that science is part of ideology, not just stuff like philosophy or politics.

You can see how this was translated into the idea that there needs to be a woman science and Black science or non-Western science. And so on. Also Lysenkoism (again!) and all the other instances where communists, even internationally, rejected things because the Soviet Communist Party rejected them.

There were a number of fervent Western Marxists, Max Eastman and Sidney Hook come to mind, who eventually had to abandon it in part because this idea was so absurd and they couldn't understand why it didn't apply to Marxism. (The conceit is that Marxism is an ideology-free science that uncovers the true forces of History that determine everything which Marx received in a divine vision.) Nor could they accept the idea that Marxism couldn't be self-critical. Even as he was nearing being assassinated Trotsky spent a lot of time writing to these types of people insisting they support the Soviet Union and Marxism 100% even as they reject Stalin. Even though Stalin wasn't really altering Lenin too much. (There's an argument, Hook I think is one who pushed it, that Lenin corrupted Marxism and made it totalitarian while Marxism was democratic. I don't really buy this though I can see the argument, I think Marx made the totalitarian nature clear enough. Lenin to me seems to be more logically extrapolating how bringing it about actually would work. Marx was more like George insisting the show be about nothing, you don't do anything the revolution will just come because it's guaranteed by History. Lenin didn't want to wait.)

So much of this "critical" Marxism then becomes about uncovering the "real beliefs" of your opponents since that's all that matters. It's entirely valid to dismiss them as bougies or liberals or CENTRISTS or whatever. You just assert the "real reason" they're saying something and assert a bunch of negative psychological reasons and call it a day. No one can push back against this because the presumption in the premises is that nobody but Marxists is actually arguing in good faith, they're all arguing on behalf of their class interests and desire for maintaining their power.

You can see why I bring this up in relation to ResetERA.com, they may not exactly be Marxists but the left was so dominated by Marxism for so long that just being steeped in the culture means picking up a lot of the presumptions and premises to operate from especially since the "radical" part has never truly purged any of it. Also how it sounds exactly like the Church and how the Devil operates.

This is explored in memetic theory where a meme complex will have things like "Only this thing is true, so reject all other things" and "Tell everyone about this thing" to insulate 'carriers' against other concepts while propagating the original concept and - unsurprisingly, given the original coining of the idea was an atheistic response to religion - was initially examining the spread and adoption of religion, but also applies to other exclusionary ideologies. It is also not surprising that there is an inherent need to control expression ('speech'), as speech is the primary method of communicating ideas.

I am under no illusion that scientific evidence will be much good against a position that always primarily rooted in bigotry, but the more we know about this topic, and the more hard evidence there is, the easier it will be to clearly mark such behaviour as the bigoted bullshit that it is.

Yeah! Just like with the Cass report, right?

[HaughtyFrank]

Unsurprisingly there are several advantages alongside the disadvantages:

Transgender women were found to have advantages in other respects, including, inevitably, height and weight, as well as lower-body power and handgrip strength.

Hold the fuck up, suddenly its okay to admit they have some advantages, even putting an "unsurprisingly" there? People have been dogpiled and banned for suggesting there's any advantage

THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED!

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Study limitations
The limitations of this study primarily relate to its cross-sectional design, making it challenging to establish causation or examine if the performance of athletes changes as a result of undergoing GAHT. Longitudinal studies are needed to examine how GAHT, and other factors impact athletes’ physiology and performance
over time. Additionally, the composition of the study cohort may not fully represent the diversity of athletes in elite sports from worldwide populations. Athletes from various sporting disciplines and performance levels were included, and the athlete training intensity was self-reported. Therefore, the results may
suffer from selection and recall bias.

The results may not apply to all levels or ages of athletes, specifically as this research did not include any adolescent athletes competing at the national
or international level. The athletes participating in the present study represented a variety of different sports, and this would have undoubtedly impacted the results of the study as different sports stress different training and sports modalities. Exercise type, intensity and duration all have an impact on physiological
responses and overall laboratory performance metrics.

The subgroups of sports that emerged were also too dissimilar to allow meaningful subgroup analysis. The complexity and difficulty of this area of activity means that while this study provides a starting point for understanding the complex physiology in GAHT and athletic performance, this study does not provide
evidence that is sufficient to influence policy for either inclusion or exclusion. However, this is the first study to assess laboratorybased measures of performance in transgender athletes, and this opens up interesting avenues for replication and extension into the longitudinal effects of GAHT on athletic performance.

Future research should include more extensive and diverse samples to enhance the generalisability of findings or smaller, more specific cohorts to hone in on a particular sports discipline. However, such studies may be complex due to the low numbers of transgender athletes. The recruitment method of this study also provided a limitation as social media advertising was used rather than recruitment from a clinical provider. Social media recruitment leaves this study open to sample bias as social media advertising, although great for recruiting hard-to-reach participants for observational studies, does not represent a clinical population in 86% of comparisons.

As the participants were not recruited from a clinic, this also means that the gender-affirming treatment of the transgender athletes was not controlled. For example, different testosterone suppression methods have different efficacies, and future studies should consider differences in the prescribed GAHT to participants.

Lastly, the participants were not screened by a clinician before participation, and any medical conditions were self-reported in the physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q). This method of medical reporting leaves the data open to selfreporting bias, which can mislead descriptive statistics and causal inferences as participants’ cognitive processes, such as social desirability, can alter participants’ responses. Therefore, it is recommended to use a clinic to screen and recruit participants to avoid such bias in a longitudinal study of transgender athlete sports performance.

I think everyone should know this. And this is how cool she is. Sydney Sweeney came in that week being like, "Everyone, please make fun of my boobs." I think she said, "Give America what they want," and we did that. At that point I went, "She's the real deal. She is here to stay. She gets it. She has it." I'm very grateful to her.

Meowdi gras lore drop 

For example, the mild androgen insensitivity syndrome I was born with meant that decades before I even started HRT, I never developed anywhere close to the muscle strength levels commonly associated with AMAB people; despite at one time working extremely hard to do so. Cis female schoolmates used to routinely beat me in arm wrestling. For that matter, there was hardly a sport I attempted to compete in growing up where I wasn't hopelessly outclassed by everyone else, irrespective of gender. These days, after ten years on HRT, I can't even do a single rep curling 10lb, despite how physically active I am. (Even my XXY bestie, whose Klinefelter's syndrome proved a similar handicap to her muscular development, is stronger than I am.)

Singe but 2 situationships.

First is a girl I met on a dating app. We go on dates, do 'other' things but we're not exclusive. Just like each others company.

Second is an escort I used to visit regularly. We became actual friends and it's turned into the same as above. And it's free now.

Love it. Curious why very few of the top posters on the site ever reply to these threads. Like if you took the top 10% of posters it would be what, 95% forever alone? A bunch of fat autist fucks calling themselves lesbians that never touched a real girl, and likely to never happen.

I'm Mae. I'm 34 and very introverted. I love to discuss video games so I figured this might be a good place to do that at. I mostly game on Xbox, but I do play some Switch (mostly Pokemon and indie games) and some Steam stuff. I never play online or with other people. Hope this place turns out to be as friendly as it seems

So many people seem to not agree with that from the many comments in this thread alone. We get it, you have it out for this film

I have it out for pathetic centrist dipshits like Alex Garland who think "both sides are the same" and we "need to stop being so polarized"

Your view of what the movie is saying is irrelevant, because Garland has made it quite clear in his numerous interviews it's a pathetic centrist riding the fence movie too cowardly to say anything or relevance.

You want to know why "the fascist" president in Civil War would come to power? People like Alex Garland.

Lifetime of being single so far. To be honest it does bother and depress me to various degrees depending on the day and mood, but I keep hitting various mental barriers in doing something about it. Last time I tried dating (around a decade ago, time sure flies) I could never figure out how to progress further from just talking and it fizzled out every time. It kinda sucks being quite a hermit and content with my own company otherwise but still yearning companionship and having a feeling of missing out, despite not being sure if that even is for me.
