Given that they don’t do the same events, that wouldn’t make sense. Though I would like to watch the dudes on beam.

In related news, the 2020 Olympic Women’s Beach Volleyball team released the first image of their new uniforms:

What’s wrong with you? Fuck off.

I don’t understand. Pull out of funding... ? Can someone explain?

I like how you started the sentence with “I don’t know anything about...” And finished with summing up everyone living there with 1 sentence. Way to go!

How about you just cut it out with your attempts at trolling/using race to further your bullshit agenda? Honestly, you’re exhausting, and, quite frankly, a boor.

20 years in veterinary medicine here, and can confirm!

As someone who has stuck his foot in his mouth on this site before, I empathize. But you owned it and apologized; not much more you can do. It will blow over.

If you had read literally any other of my replies to people, you’d see that I’m just a fucking ill informed moron. I fucked up, what do you want me to say. I’ve apologized to several people who have taken insult to my comment and I accept that it was really dumb. I’m not a bright man.

This isn’t okay, and I don’t know why it has two stars. There’s plenty to criticize about Melania. There’s no need to mention ethnicity or make slurs about sex workers.

I don’t think you understand how persistently threatening a lot of cis-male behaviour is for women and gay men (and straight men too, if they don’t buy into this BS coding). You are essentially making the ‘boys will be boys’ excuse with the knock it off stuff, which is not acceptable. These guys should be sat down and…

She does. I just ran to the Root before my head exploded. Thank Meghan.

You’re probably thinking of Eastern Slavs (e.g., Ukrainians). Serbs are southern Slavs. Some of them could “pass” for white in the US. A lot of them resemble Turks. Some Turks could also pass as white. They aren’t, though.

This shit is old. It’s just the latest iteration of the stew of white-dude libertarianism, half-baked evo-psych and quarter-baked genetic determinism that was spouted on HN five years ago, Slashdot 15 years ago and Usenet boards 25 years ago. It was embarrassing when it showed up in Eric Raymond’s “Sex Tips For Geeks”…

That’s it mate. Come the revolution, you’ll be first against the wall bop-bop-bop!

I’m fine with this. I used to work for a urologist, and it’s a pretty simple procedure, easier recovery than the comparable female surgery, and easier to check that sterility has been achieved (jizz in cup, look under scope, hope not to see any swimmers). If the recovery is made even easier by camaraderie in the…

And when is someone going to tell him that putting a word like sick in quotes is actually implying the opposite meaning, not emphasizing it.

OT, but would you guys mind covering Maryam Mirzakhani’s death? She was the first woman to win the Fields Medal (which Jez covered 3 years ago), basically the highest honor in math, and died at 40 of cancer today.

You should use a word other than “child”, maybe teen? There’s a difference. You make it sound like people are saying it’s OK to sleep with 7 year olds. Things aren’t so black and white.

Roman Polanski drugged and raped a girl who said no. If you can’t see the difference between a girl who said no and one who wanted to have sex— which I’m pretty sure was a thing even in the 70s, and which is not at all the same as “she didn’t complain afterward” — good luck to you.
