Well then, saying European monarchies is a problem is disingenuous if nepotism is a global problem providing outsized political power.

For many people, who dont like cooking, having a partner that is happy to cook something special for them every day is heaven.

It is normal for a Kennedy to walk into a political position, though. Maga just magnifies the problem. They didn't create it.

Yes, and I was adding to the conversion, more addressing the poster above you.

However to limp all of Europe as one entity of monarchies and Israeli influence is disingenuous. Misguided at best, propaganda at worst.

Israel is abusing its relationship and historical persecution of Jews to allow them to persecute others, including with genocide. They are (quietly) expanding into Lebanon while people are looking elsewhere. The ceasefire in Gaza still kills Palestinians with frequent Israeli actions.

The whole war seems to be at their behest and the involvement of Iran is directly linked to their bombing of Iran 2 years ago. However, Iran is also the supporter of much of he resistance against their genocidal actions. As it was mainly carried out in a terrorist/guerrilla type fashion, Israel's view os that they have no choice but to act. It's obviously concerning that no government in the west seems concerned that they claim valid cause to have violent relations with every neighbour.

They shriek about nuke development while not being a party to nuclear disarmament treaties and having their own nukes. It's disingenuous but works for propaganda purposes. They claim the un is biased and lacks authority, glossing over the fact that the creation of Israel was via un processes.

In the case of Europe, the monarchies that are mentioned don't hold power and are mostly ceremonial. As an Irish person, I'm completely against the idea of inherited authority and wealth of nations, but the USA seems to give more authority to their ordained families. Look at the head of healthcare. If he wasn't a Kennedy, do you think a former heroin addict vaccine conspiracy theorist who thinks autistic people should be in work camps would be a potential leader in any other country?

My feeling is that if there was an unfair advantage due to hormones or genetics, or would seem unfair to peak athletes. However, there appears to be none or minimal. It seems that most elite athletes have genetic or other advantages is some way, as you alluded to with racial differences.

However, that aside, when we look at the purpose of sport, fun, exercise, community, human achievement; the exclusion of trans people undermines that and disappoints far more people. So for me, it's a no brainer. Inclusivity wins out as that's what protects the most kids (and people) from harm.

Lol, no they don't. Some do, but many don't.

For games like golf, up until relatively recently, women weren't even allowed to be club members.

Let's not rewrite history.

You mean Spain and Sweden that pushed to recognise genocide and Palestinian statehood? That kind of power? Germany has deep guilt about WW2. Israel has outsized influence but not the owned politicians like in the USA.

The first beer of a planned giant session where everyonein a friend group is meeting up for a fun weekend together, usually in a different place, maybe around a purpose like see a game.

We have the opposite rule. I'd someone cook they are not on the hook for any cleaning. Obviously, you should be cleaning some stuff as you go, but if you make the effort to cook something more special, you shouldn't be punished for it with more chores.

Maybe he's moonwalking.

Or telling someone stupid to be more clever, as the case may be.

In what way do you think Bitcoin adoption has increased? I still don't see it's use for transfers nor as a safe value store. It's used as an investment strategy, yes, but not based on any fundamentals apart from market sentiment.

I don't know if the value drop this time is permanent. What o know is that I don't foresee Bitcoin being a replacement for global currencies. I think the digital euro has more of a chance of that happening.

Bitcoins value increase from mining is what made it popular. That is no longer the case. The hope is that as mining ceases it becomes non inflationary as the number is finite.

That whole proposition is based on Bitcoin being the primary store of value. If the rest of the world continues to have currencies which are inflationary, then the price of Bitcoin will represent its value in dollar terms, as it does now. So as the dollar depreceates, the value of Bitcoin in dollar terms should rise. No different to how the equivalent euro or gold does now. So it's not a magical hedge.
