  • sometimes we get lost in the sauce

  • Pretty sure thats the point tho, there are often multiple different explanations for each mystery. So having a diverse group of archeologists is beneficial to get as many theories as possible.

    So the 'gotcha' by the professor probs isnt a 'this is definitely the only explanation', it's just to have the students question their biases and seek diverse opinions.

  • Women’s Institute will no longer accept trans women as members from April

    Jump

  • Well not overnight obviously, I'm sure it has to go through a board of directors and have a vote for it. My comment may have come off a bit more flippant then intended tbh. But I'm not aware of any legal reason they can't go that route though, but I'm not in the UK so ¯(ツ)/¯

    I did find this, which I think is relevant. https://the-icm.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/CC363.pdf

  • Women’s Institute will no longer accept trans women as members from April

    Jump

  • What legal reasons? They're not legally bound to only accept cis women, its just one of their own rules. They don't have to go through the courts, they can change their bylaws to include trans women. Or whatever verbiage they need.

    Unless I'm missing something, they have no legal obligation to keep the same bylaws as an organization. Then there's no basis for a terf to sue.

    ETA: whoop, missed this part of the article apparently;

    Green said the organisation wanted trans women to remain “part of the WI family” and that from April it would launch new “sisterhood groups”, open to all, which would be “a place where we will recognise transgender women as women and explore what it is to be a woman in the 21st century."

    So if that's possible, then it seems absurd that the main organization could be at risk of legal action

  • Who do the ACAB rules apply to?

    Jump

  • Kinda, but the big difference is being a man is an identity and not a choice, while being a cop is entirely an intentional choice.

    So we should be empathetic to the perspective and struggles of women while trying not to demonize men as an identity.

    Found it. Kinda tempted to try it as a trans woman, HRT typically lowers the number of random erection. Wonder if there's any, or what 'AndroAge" it thinks I am

  • Yeah a bunch of maga think that's an insult, and not just evidence of their cruelty and ignorance.

  • Donald Trump Is Reportedly Considering Commuting Diddy’s Sentence This Week

    Jump

  • I doubt it's trump being smart, but... since the 2016 election, his support from young black men has doubled. That might have something to do with him pardoning Lil Wayne, Kodak Black(pedo rapist pos), and NBA YoungBoy. He probably has some advisors picking people to pardon that will boost his abysmal reputation among certain minorities.

    And it gets him the attention and headlines that he so desperately craves.

  • A 2020 academic study with a sample size of 372 respondents found that 40 percent of transgender people had attempted suicide. It found that interpersonal microaggressions and emotional neglect by family members were the leading contributors to the attempts.

    Similarly, in 2016, the National Transgender Discrimination Survey found that 41 percent of 6,450 respondents said they had previously attempted suicide. By comparison, the CDC found that in 2020, 0.36 percent of the population had attempted suicide.

    According to a 2022 survey by The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ suicide prevention organization, nearly 1 in 5 young people who identified as transgender or non-binary have attempted suicide.

    Meanwhile, a 2018 study of more than 120,000 children age 11 to 19 found that 41.8 percent of non-binary adolescents—those who do not identify as definitively male or female—had attempted suicide

  • I really like Tidal, feels similar to Spotify at a similar or lower cost, surprisingly wide music selection, decent music discovery and suggestions, offline download and hifi audio, etc.

  • Federal agents shoot woman they say 'boxed in' authorities on Chicago's South Side

  • Is this... is this a headline that doesn't use a passive voice to describe people being shot by cops? Good on them

  • Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice.

    That Richard Stallman?

    (I know he has since changed his views, the 'allergic to PR' part just seemed to be a bit of an understatement. Not trying to start an argument, just thought that was funny)

  • The Worst Person You Know Made a Great Point; Asmongold Asks Elon Musk To Prove Legitimacy of His ‘Path of Exile 2’ Account

  • The craziest part of that article is

    Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company's (...) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).

    So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn't see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.

    I shouldn't be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.
