The problem with the Phelps example you give, is that people see men’s and women’s sports categories as two sides of a coin. In reality, the men’s division, in most (but not all) sports is another way of saying “the top division of human competitors”. When you look at it in this reality, Phelps having an extreme…

You can say that again. 

They are tested in many sports. On top of that, your argument makes no sense. Men’s sports, in the overwhelming majority of sports, are the best athletes on the planet at that sport. Because of this, there is no need to police genetic variation to a large degree, because there’s no higher plane. They are still humans,…

This is the distinction. The men’s division, in most sports (ultra marathon comes to mind where sex, at this time, seems to not impact results, at least not significantly, though I could be wrong) is the defacto top division. Genetic variation at that level that makes you an outlier just means you’re the best, because…

Planes have internet now! Or at least free entertainment options viewed right on your own device. 

Yeah, no. Auto trader has Pacificas in my area for $33k, before the $7500 rebate. Also a model s and a minivan are completely different vehicle types. Also the Pacifica has an ICE, so it's actually usable for long trips and cold weather. But thanks for the heads up!

Man, not only do rentals overseas have manual options, but their base-level shitcans come with two-tone paint!

Maybe because they’re great cars and journalists want their readers to know this? But no, you’re right, it’s probably a low-stakes conspiracy. 

So how about the charging system? Do you charge using a normal cord, or a larger one? How long does it take to get to full? 

I have a 2012 Caravan, and typically don’t buy new cars. I am VERY interested in the new Pacific Hybrid, specifically for the reasons you list. We put a lot of miles on the van now, but it’s almost all short round trips. Most of our gas-consuming needs would be eliminated, and the longer trips or roadtrips are still…

I had a Cavalier of the same vintage, body style and color. I loved that awful piece of junk. 

40 pounds is not insignificant. Maybe just do that for a host of beneficial reasons. You can do it! 

I never started drinking either. However, giving up sweets would be very difficult for me. 

It’d be a hell of a fight, that’s for sure. 

Are you surprised great players get more leeway?

Alright, that he was undersized for a power forward, I’ll allow it. 

(reads list, nods head, gets to Charles Barkley, does spit-take)

I’mma name some guys who are/were awesome and look like they shouldn’t be:

I think the behind the plate, and even moreso, the umpire cam, would quell those who think these dudes aren’t on the same level of freak as basketball and football when it comes to the athletic spectrum. Their ability to read and react to nearly impossible to perceive pitches is about as close a human can come to…

Found the person who didn’t play Rookies/Peewees/Babe Ruth/Little League as a kid.
