Whatever. It sucks ass is the point.

Misanthropy involves a negative evaluative attitude toward humanity that is based on humankind’s flaws. Misanthropes hold that these flaws characterize all or at least the greater majority of human beings. They claim that there is no easy way to rectify them short of a complete transformation of the dominant way of life.

I thought this was quite interesting. I think I agree very much with

there is no easy way to rectify them short of a complete transformation of the dominant way of life

but not so much with

these flaws characterize all or at least the greater majority of human beings

I just think these flaws characterize all or the greater majority of human beings that possess a relative amount of power. That’s the real problem. Or perhaps the real problem is that power itself transforms humans and gives them these flaws. I’m not sure if it’s the chicken or the egg, kind of thing.

It seems tangential, perhaps? Like, accepting the fact that nature is going to kick our asses eventually anyway, is what you’re getting at? Let me know if that’s what you were thinking. 🙂

Holy hell. That was out of a clear blue sky.

Take care, bud. 🩵

Yep, that is indeed exactly what I was asking. 👍 The ideology that humans should be exterminated.

Is there a name for the ideology that humans should be wiped from the planet for the benefit of the planet and the rest of the organisms on it?

Haha yeah. Love that guy btw.

Do your work for you, you say?

Or is this a hobby project?

You clearly are trying to imply something

I’m not trying to imply anything, no. Everything I wanted to express, I already have, in words, in these comments. Nothing to hide.

why not just woman-up and say it?

lol

The people whose job it is to decide already did and she qualified. What more is there to do, unless you think they need to look at it again because they got it wrong?

I’m not saying they got it wrong. This is a very ethically tricky question with a large gray area, considering the large protests and anger sent in both directions.

It’s very difficult to be morally/ethically objective in this matter because we don’t know exactly all the details of what it means, physiologically, to be trans, or non-binary, or whatever else. And especially when someone who might have a chromosome anomaly enters the picture, the gray zone expands. “Fairness” is extremely tricky now because of how we set up the binary-separate competitions of men and women, now that we finally know that gender can be very fluid.

Yes, you totally have no opinion on it whatsoever which is why you vague-posted a “just asking questions” type comment on here.

You are confusing “observation” and “opinion”. I have made an observation, that the boxers facing this person as opponents are themselves reacting to the unusual build and strength of this person, and I am also reacting to and observing the visual difference that I can readily see.

But I have no opinion on whether or not they should be able to compete against women, because I have next to no knowledge whatsoever on trans or non-binary physiology/psychology, or for other such LGBTQ+ people. It wouldn’t make sense to try to form an opinion based on nothing at all.

The only opinions that I have on this is that 1) respect comes above all, and that 2) sports should be played on equal terms. 🤷‍♂️ Whether or not (2) is achievable in this case, I have no idea. Maybe, maybe not. We probably will never know. At least not in our lifetime.

“just asking questions” type comment

I’m not asking any questions either, because I’m not really actually interested in boxing, nor in trying to actually figure out whether or not this person should be able to compete. That would be a huge undertaking, requiring lots of resources, if it’s even possible at all.

Thank you for joining in the discussion. I hope my stance is clearer now. 🤝

I’m not dog whistling. Red looks a lot stronger to me, with clearly bigger muscles, arms in flexion or not.

Red’s opponents have said “I’ve never been hit so hard”, as reported in the media.

There is clearly something going on here. I am saying that.

But what I’m not saying a word of is whether or not I think this person should be able to compete against women. That is not for me to decide. I also actually don’t have an opinion on the matter. That’s the doggone truth. 🤷‍♂️

We all make mistakes sometimes. No harm done. 🤝 Thank you.

I’M SO SOWWY 😭

I just don’t get it. 😔

Are you implying that I’m saying one of these women shouldn’t get to compete?

Lutris seems really cool. I couldn’t get it to work.

I’m on Arch and I tried both the native package as well as the Flatpak version. None of them worked. Something going wrong when installing some shit in an automated installer, I dunno. I wish I could find a good guide. I’m usually handy with these things but I don’t understand the error messages, so…

Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing the resource you followed to get PhysX to install on Linux?

Mmh. I’m not seeing what you’re seeing, I think. Looks strikingly different to me. Not radically different, just strikingly. 🤷‍♂️

Uh… Why are you calling my sensibilities “snowflake”?

I get that they’re in the same weight class, otherwise they wouldn’t be competing.

No I don’t want “shoulder classes”, what kind of suggestion is that? Do you think I’m making some kind of complaint here? I’m just saying that Red’s shoulders are much stronger than Blue’s. Relax.

Also strong arms 👍
