  • So I listened to the entire video. The person in the video could have started with a 3 minute outline because that was about all the meaningful content. That said, I did listen to the entire thing. And the kicker was right at the end. If there was someone who was genetically male, born male, and made the personal decision to present as female … and that person wanted to play high school basketball and was way better than all the girls, the person in the video would have them “move up” to the next level. The next level is the boys team. Which is exactly what I started with in my argument above. The only problem we come to is it is really hard to define who is the “best” at basketball and so it’ll always be a subjective opinion. This may be a problem if the person in question is way better than the girls but not very good compared to the members of the boys team. Why move up when you’ll only sit the bench? Better argue discrimination and a failure to accommodate. The problem isn’t solved at all.


















  • I wouldn’t consider a country that cannot manage its own power supply “successful.” I suspect the US would be more willing to help if Cuba stopped being a one-party authoritarian state that sides with America’s geopolitical enemies, namely Russia.

    Edit: Yes, Texas sucks as a country. They aren’t one but would be a failed nation if they tried. They aren’t even a very good US state as far as states go. Your Texas argument just supports my statement above even harder.

    Edit 2: Cuban grid operators are blaming an influx of air conditioning units (residential & business) as being the stressor that brought down the grid. This story does not jive well with those here arguing the problem is US trade policy regarding the island nation. Cuba did not run out of oil. It can get equipment to operate the grid. Heck, Turkey send Cuba seven mobile power plants to assist the grid. None of it is working because Cuba has a serious brain drain issue. Educated people leave Cuba. The grid likely failed because the people keeping it running left the country.
