@eddiegoerge2019@Sebastian_Hols@dilanesper If the odds were very slim that this issue would arise in the coming 6 years, I’d agree with you. But i think there’s at least a fair chance that one of the tens of thousands of people with XY chromosomes who are better at basketball than every woman will try to play in the WNBA
@Sebastian_Hols@dilanesper@eddiegoerge2019 Correct, it could be any one of many thousands of people who are not good enough to male professionals, but would be dominant female professionals should they transition.
@eddiegoerge2019@Sebastian_Hols@dilanesper It’s obviously a plausible scenario that could happen next year or in 10 years, but it’s gonna happen. Have a plan. Why wait for the shit to hit the fan?
@dilanesper@eddiegoerge2019 And anyway, it wouldn’t even need to be an ex-nba player. It could be someone who played 10 minutes a game for a men’s mid-major
@TheCriticalDri2@RantyAmyCurtis The phrase “slightly toned” is unfortunate, but his larger point stands. I think that’s the upper end of what is naturally achievable for most young man without being fanatical about training and diet.
@DavidOgbu17@MattWalshBlog Because the story is there for everyone to read and almost nobody does so unless it’s assigned in high school. So you need 10s of millions of people who don’t already care about the source material to make money. And those people don’t wanna root for a guy who massacres women
@KTMartin25@ivanmaldonadotx@justin_hart@MattWalshBlog The context of this entire tedious discussion is Walsh insisting that the film is woke, while his fellow conservatives saying that it’s not woke for Odysseus to have values that are more like what a Christian would have
@ZacharyAKlein@henrybenedict_X@justin_hart@MattWalshBlog Walsh is being a fool. Nobody, from the most woke to the most Christian, wants to see our hero tell his son to hack a bunch of women to bits after the fighting is over.
@MikeMitchNH@NateSilver538 I say this as a moderately risk averse guy myself. If you offered me $250K or a coin flip for $1 mill, i’d think really hard about it. $50K though? Easy decision
@MikeMitchNH@NateSilver538 But surely that’s not over 70% of Americans. I wonder if a nation can continue creating wealth for long when nearly 3/4 of the population is *that* risk averse
@orsenkart1@YouGov Your last sentence makes the rest of the point moot. And there is no limiting principle. Your logic also applies to $10K vs 50/50 at $1 mill. And $1K. And 10 bucks
@Thinker2nd@SwipeWright@nicholasb44 Buddy, it’s a college. What amount of time would the campus center need to remain a bloodbath in order to avoid arousing your suspicion?
@HannahBrites@DrDavidMiano This is such a bad comparison for 2 reasons:
1) Parks was a real historical figure whose picture we have all seen, not a myth from 3000 years ago
b) Parks’ entire story is about her skin color.
