Can we take a moment to appreciate the very real possibility that the Soviet space program of the 50s would have been able to land a lunar probe better than the current Russian program?

(Obligatory /s, space is hard and shit goes wrong sometimes)

We should really have another name other than “think tank” because I’m not convinced there’s a lot of thinking going on here.

Suggestions?

The admin note there was pretty hilarious.

“We’re being censored because big instances defederated from us!” Bitch you can still scream your shit into whatever instances that still want to share the cesspool with you.

This is the real world equivalent of shouting into a megaphone outside a bar and claiming censorship when they close their doors to shut out the noise.

This is an obvious exaggeration, but I can’t help but feel like we’re witnessing a death match between American democracy and the Republican Party.

Poor missionaries. Teenagers are far too young to be involved in something like this. Even the victims are perpetrators in Mormonism

Could you link to said reputable polls? Just for the sake of being thorough

Good. Here’s hoping for a swift trial.

Now this is unpopular.

May god have mercy on your soul. LotR memes was one of the first communities to migrate over.

Not to nitpick but to me the title of this post is implying that XXY individuals are born female. Generally they’re born male.

What the comment is referring to is likely Swyer Syndrome, where the individual has an XY configuration but a dysfunctional gene in the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome. This means the embryo develops female anatomy and the resulting children tend to identify female, but they lack functional gonadal tissue. It’s estimated to occur at a rate of about 1 in a 100,000 females.

By the by, treatment for these individuals usually involves removing the dysfunctional gonadal tissue as it often becomes cancerous (which often gets misunderstood as “gender reassignment surgery”) and supplemental hormone replacement therapy. They would be affected too by any bans on hormone administration to kids often connected with trans people. One of the reasons why blanket bans should be a no-go regardless of how you feel about any other trans issue.

When you’re losing to a friend in a video game so you call him a racial slur 😎

When you think about it, the difference between curling 5 lbs and 40 lbs is only 35 lbs.

You’re only one slightly malnourished toddler’s weight away.
