I think we should let men into all female sports. This would clearly demonstrate equality.
I think we should abolish professional level competitive sports because they're stupid and create idols/celebrities which we don't need more of. Local stuff is okay. And the stakes are low enough that I would think the trans athletes issue wouldn't matter as much there. Especially for team sports like baseball where they're just one person.

It literally takes more effort to continue be an asshole and to deliberately misgender someone than it is to just address someone as they want you to.
I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or think you're countering something I said. But it depends on if your brain perceives them as their claimed gender or not. If it doesn't, I have to tread carefully. Usually if you apologize when corrected it's fine though.
But yeah I usually don't see much reason to cause additional vitriol. Unless they're Chris-chan.

It literally doesn't take any effort to use the sex labels that have been used for 80 thousand years to describe the sexes that existed for 2 billion years.
Two sexes: 2 billion years. Two genders in language: 80k years. Neo-pronouns: 10 years.
2 billion years? Life on earth was pretty based.
IDK, religion is pretty cringe, ngl

Trump rally in Selma, NC was good. He was 10 minutes late and spoke a little over an hour. His bangs flapped in the wind only a little bit at first then settled down. When it was over he danced his way out to throngs of cheering supporters. He always hints about running again and they're getting stronger each time. Yes, please do, please save us.
I have a super dumb question, Why are US officials smugly admitting that the US is lying and using propaganda to preempt Russian propaganda??
Twits: We are lying all the time, sp we are winning the propaganda war. We have never seen this level of propaganda in the US like under Joe Biden's administration.

DUMBSHIT IF HE WON'T SHUT HIS FUCKING MOUTH I'LL GO INTO HIS ROOM AND KNOCK OVER HIS CUP OF WATER, BUT HE'LL SAY I KNOCKED IT OVER LIKE LAST TIME AFTER HE KNOCKED IT OVER!!!
"Great Yao was an Emperor both humane and virtuous. Under his rule, the citizens of China were both obedient and harmonious. They looked up to their Emperor and treated him as respectfully as they did their own parents. Yao, however, had grown old, and decided to request his military and civilian cabinet ministers to select a wise and worthy successor, so that he could hand down the duty of ruling all of China to him. The Emperor's advisors told him, "There is a devoted filial son at Li Mountain named Shun. Although his family does not get along, he still treats them with a proper attitude of respect and affection. His father, Gu Sou, is unreasonable, and harsh. His step-mother is petty by nature, and constantly abuses and scolds her son. Shun's step-brother, Xiang, is arrogant and lazy. He is jealous of his older brother and wants to do him in. Living in such a family, Shun manages to not resent them; he behaves as a devoted son and brother should."
The ministers told the Emperor, "When his family scolds or beats him, he doesn't bear a grudge or strike back. He simply runs out into the fields where no one can see him and cries to himself. You can find this boy plowing the fields every day, and doing the planting and weeding. His father and brother never lend a hand. Shun's devotion to filial respect does, however, inspire the heavens and the earth to respond. How do we know this is true? The elephants come down from the mountains to plow the furrows for this young man; in the Spring you can see them line up and use their tusks to dig the earth. In the Summer the crows and magpies flock down to pull up the weeds with their beaks. Nature itself approves of his righteous attitude, especially in the face of hardship, as in the case of his impossible family situation."
Hearing about Shun's filial conduct inspired Emperor Yao to dispatch nine of his sons to assist Shun with the farming work. He instructed his daughters, named E Huang and Nü Ying to serve Shun as his wives. The Emperor put the young man through years of training and testing, and when he felt satisfied with his capabilities, he bestowed the throne of Emperor on him, and retired from the duties of ruling China. Under Shun's guidance, the people of China prospered. Following his virtuous influence, all creatures enjoyed peace and happiness. Such were the manifold benefits of a proper attitude of filial respect.
A verse in his honor says,
Elephants in file plow the fields in spring. Little birds in flocks come weed the summer grass. Following Emperor Yau, he took the Dragon Throne. His filial conduct touched the hearts of creatures under heaven."

I think the last American non-art-film I really considered watching that wasn't on a date or similar was probably Incredibles 2. And I didn't watch it in the end.
The first Incredibles movie was really, really good, though.
Now that they're everywhere I'm too jaded for 3d cg movies.

Superman series writer Tom Taylor said the evolution of this new Superman is keeping with the values the character has always represented -- and, importantly, reflects the experiences of many comic fans. [www.cnn.com] https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/11/entertainmen...-cec/index.html
"Superman's symbol has always stood for hope, for truth and for justice," Taylor said in a statement. "Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics."
What was the last thing you thought?, read deed by path.
