There might be but keep in mind longer arms needs more force to drive and trans women generally don't have the testosterone to grow large muscles.

Also like all sport is unfair, it's inherently the point. When a tall, muscular, woman wins a swimming contest nobody is waiting in the wings to measure her serium testosterone level and determine whether it was legitimate. We accept that people have physiological variations, different economic opportunities, and different mental capacities. We are interested in exploring what a person can do within rough approximately fair bands of competition.

Trans people generally want to transition early, so there's not a huge amount of time for puberty growth or lack thereof (remember trans men dammit!) given proper support for most people. Even later transitioners don't seem to have any significant advantage, given the lack of winning they're doing. I suspect any advantage that may exist is massively, massively, dwarfed by being wealthy enough to hire competent coaches/take the time to train + good childhood for high likelihood of positive psychological coping with stress.

Trans people generally lose on both those fronts.

Find a sense engaging ritual and do it regularly.

For me it was having elaborate spice teas or herbal teas. I'd mix up batches and keep it in the office, when I needed some sanity taking the time to just focus on a damn good cup of tea helped me relax some.

A treat you enjoy, a stretching routine whatever you can do that is highly engaging would be a good choice. Force work out of your head even for 5 minutes. We aren't meant to work like a steam engine.

Problem: farming animals is inefficienct, cruel, expensive, and destroying the earth which gives us life life

Solution 1: learn to cook dhal

eww no veggies, I am 12 and refuse to eat them

solution 2: convince the arrogant fussy and cruel hedonist that rejected 1 to eat crickets?

solution 3: keep all of the horror of farming but make it marginally more efficient?

Mmm yay, pigs screaming in terror while they die in gas chambers makes me hungries.

I was like 12 but it was funny as shit. I think now a lot of the humour might fall flat now the zeitgeist has moved on but that storming of the beach against the teddybears still cracks me up remembering it.

Not just the USA. Here in Australia (which amusingly was seen as a weird totalitarian state in the usa?) our politicians dragged their feet, encouraged people to go out to large events, discouraged masks, insisted schools stay open because "children couldn't spread it" amongst other things.

Eventually we had action but it is still like the leading cause of death AFAIK so uhhh good job I suppose.

what?

I think that guy is an idiot because stuff like airbnb is so demonstrably bad it's had to be banned in places to help house people but the law doesn't seem related to ethics except accidentally to me?

Sometimes the law if aligned with ethics, e.g. don't kill people cause you get mad at them in traffic. Sometimes it's monsterous e.g. put peoples struggling with addiction in cages, force abused women back to their husbands, follow this racist order etc.

I don't think it's wrong to say we should be careful about what laws we follow.

Sure of course of course but umm have you seen software?

There are still windows xp computers on the internet.

It's not insurmountable, and of course I have no idea if/how this will roll out.

Just it seems to mess with a rather deep assumption we have about how computers operate when we develop software and threat models.

[-] insurgenRat@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

Maybe, it depends how it works.

Memory is often unencrypted and/or contains encryption keys. Many programs rely on the assumption that it's cleared on powerdown for security.

Depending on how this memory enters the long term state it seems that a lot of legacy software might become vulnerable to a really simple attack.

Pulling the plug might no longer be something that forces someone to engage in rubber hose analysis.

eeeyyyyy baby. Want sum fuck?

I am generally of pretty radical political leanings but holy shit hexbear is stupid.

Taking frustrations with the monsterous inequity and suffering of the current USA lead military hegemony to such a useless extreme that everyone who opposes the usa is an angle and anything that remotely aligns with the interests of the usa must be unredeemable evil.
