I’m super not tech savvy and I had zero problems installing Mint recently. There’s instructions online for getting the install media set up (I used a flash drive), and once you have that it’s just following an install wizard really. The hardest part is backing up everything important before you switch.

No I’m genuinely trying to understand. So he’s bad because he’s not actually a leftist, I can follow that. But the alternative was Cuomo, is he worse than that?

Out of curiosity, are you expecting him to make life worse for people? Was there a better option to vote for? I’ve seen more ml outrage against him than I’ve seen from you guys over the entire Republican party.

Unfortunately, the requirements for the program are ridiculously severe. It’s super hard to get allowed, especially when you’re under 50 or only have mental health issues. We really just need UBI so people aren’t required to struggle to work to get by.

Sorry, it’s not worth having baby’s first “what is a trans person” conversation with you, which would be clearly needed before delving into the nitty gritty. Take that pass! Go somewhere else.

So the effort trans women put in to compete doesn’t count for anything, people just decide to transition to win sporting events, and trans women are men with a different body. Wow, you really hit the trifecta of shit takes.

Exactly my point. Thanks for illustrating it.

Let me ask you a question in turn. How many trans women are placing well in sports? Numbers, percentages, whatever you’ve got. How many cis women have had their rightful first place stolen by someone who’s just naturally better by merit of how they were born?

In answer to your question, transition does a lot, more than you would expect. It’s pretty statistically clear that the residual effects of going through the wrong puberty haven’t caused a physical ability imbalance that renders competition unfair. We haven’t seen any such thing play out, unless you consider any trans woman placing ever as inherently unfair and stealing results from cis women.

I want to know where this outrage was for Michael Phelps. We didn’t see legislation passed to deperson Andre the Giant. There are huge biological differences between people, and some people have an advantage in sport by merit of how their body works. There’s never outrage against gifted men.

Women have to suffer the brunt of this line of attack. Many cis women, for some reason especially women of color, get attacked as men if they have elevated testosterone, chromosomal abnormalities, or many other random biological quirks that someone doesn’t think is fair. Imane Khalif, a cis woman, gets attacked for not being a woman. Lin Yu Ting gets attacked for not being a woman. Caster Semenya gets attacked for not being a woman.

This trans panic in sports is not about fairness. Nobody making these decisions are doing so to create a balanced competition. This is sexism and transphobia being used to police women to ensure they’re feminine enough to appear on the world stage.

Apparently, since you never did. Do I just need to use small words for you, so you can understand what’s being discussed?

I thought you did research. Must have been too hard for you.

No.

Do some fucking research then.

Don’t bother. You have no idea what you’re talking about. The advantage you assume exists doesn’t. There’s no deluge of trans people overtaking cis people at any sport.

You’re fear mongering about shit you don’t understand remotely. Shut the fuck up.

They don’t give a fuck about fair competition so that’s irrelevant. This is just bigotry.

Probably don’t talk about people’s transitions if you have no clue what you’re talking about. Thanks!

How did you take this footage of me at work

How about mtg gameplay, video game speedruns, beat battles, and vtubers? That’s pretty much all I use YouTube for these days, but I’d love to drop it completely.

I’ll take mine with extra sauce

My memory is terrible too, but I pretty much only use those phrases when I’m 100% sure I do recall. The rest of the time I feel like it isn’t worth speaking up at all.

I liked the emoji for ironic shitposting, but I guess I should use something else stupid instead at this point, huh
