I’m frankly more concerned about the 62% who would buy that vile brew under some circumstances.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have COVID-19, but I’m having a hell of a time getting over garden-variety bronchitis, and that makes me nervous about my chances when it does come calling. A cold virus that bounced off other people went straight into my lungs, which is the common denominator of the unlucky 2% of COVID-19…

Doctors wear face masks during surgery so that their mouth germs won’t get into the patient’s open wound. Not to protect themselves from airborne viruses. If they’re dealing with patients with certain dangerous contagious diseases, they wear filter mask or respirators so that they won’t get sick. A simple face mask…

If Warren does nothing else but destroy Bloomberg's candidacy, she will have performed a great service to the country. 

And the flight attendant's threatening response was worse. The airline needs to fire that person ASAP.

Pretty furious that there are still people saying that the woman was in the wrong for that seat incident. First of all, she did have a disability (fused neck), but besides that, she paid for and selected a seat that reclines. She’s allowed to use it, full stop. If you’re mad, be mad at the airline that keeps squeezing…

I posted this upthread...I howled.  

I saw someone on twitter say “You’re not even the boogeywoman of the view”

Besides being a horrible thing to say, you know what else isn’t a great strategy? Letting the “middle of the country” know that you think they’re a bunch of prejudiced yokels who can’t handle the nuances of something like trans issues.

So basically Mighty Ducks, but basketball?

Doesn't Ben Affleck have a movie coming up where his character is an alcoholic that fucks up and recovers because he has a basketball team to coach? How much of this introspection is for show? He will always be Nick Dunne from Gone Girl to me. 

I disagree, and I have heard the argument first hand that that is indeed the case and way of thinking. Unfortunately trans contemporary rhetoric is closer to empty absolutist propaganda that doesnt leave any room for nuance. So when the average person hears a transwoman speak it is almost always the rhetoric that a…

Yes, they are. Everytime you equate your lived experience as the same as theirs and claim you're no different, you're stealing the hard earned life of being a female at birth. Fuck off

Marginalizing biological women in favor of trans athletes isn’t helping women.  

Pretty much every woman’s weight lifting record has been shattered definitively by biological males now, which leaves little hope for any woman to ever come near it.

Or it could become the new steroid use. Except calling it out would be unacceptable because it would be transphobic. So you have a group of people who are purposely cheating while also being called stunning and brave for their choices. Sports like to preach fairness but when it comes down to a lot of individual…

Sure -

How come you never hear about Boys complaining about trans athletes beating them. Maybe it is because they don’t since they are disadvantaged by being biologically female for their entire life until their gender change and thus don’t get the phical development of biological males.

Yeah, it was clearly in reference to the interview. This shouldn’t be a thing. It’s kinda depressing that people are so hot for the take-down that they will totally disregard, like, basic syntax.

My thoughts as well. Although he probably could’ve worded differently. I think his intent wasn’t to be inappropriate, but to flatter.
