  • Im gonna guess.

    Sport is a spectacle. At the highest levels of any given sport(usually)

    Women, if they cannot compete with men, will simply not exist in the highest levels of that sport.

    If women cannot be part of the highest levels of that sport, the sport cant make enough money to create leagues that can convince enough women to put significant amount of systems in place to train and produce the best women capable of playing that sport.

    Until we stop caring about only letting/finding/supporting/producing the best of the best, its an incredibly bad idea to ignore the many sport specific disadvantage biology plays in competition



  • I disagree in that people mean different things when they say “i could care less” and “i couldnt care less”

    “I couldnt care less” is pretty self contained and unambiguous when i hear people use it but “i could care less” not so much.

    My experience being my own, i could very well be mistaken though.

    So i think “its raining cats and dogs” is not a fair comparison. Perhaps its simply too soon and it will become as settled in the future…when enough people just give up on using it. Will wait and see

    !remind me 10 years


  • What are you on about mate? No one suggested letting people organize themselves, you control by allowing the seats you want to load first. Airlines already load specific sections at a time.

    If seats A and F are window seats just load that way and also load by zone, back of plane first makes most sense(depending if theres more than one door on the plane or not, most are at front because of how planes park at a gate)

    They already know who is travelling together so they can choose to let whatever seats they want first. Like load an entire group if they are taking up a whole row.

    Just seems like they do priority boarding as way to increase ticket price, but the actual boarding process often seems badly designed


  • I feel people just being lazy yet again. Not sure why its such a sin to be precise when speaking/communicating.

    Like how often is something that causes a problem turns out to be a simple misunderstanding.

    I think phrase “i could care less” is supposed to have an “as if” in front of it. It started making a lot more sense to me when i started thinking people forgot about the beginning of the phrase.

    “I could care less…” Still works if used the correct way ie "I could care less about this, so maybe stop making this so difficult?”

    Suppose you could even use it kinda of threateningly, like the Darth Vader line, “pray i do not alter it any further”




  • Ahhhh okay thanks friend!

    Edit: interesting wiki on it!

    Sojourn continued until 1996, when a difference in creative vision among the staff led to the project being forked into TorilMUD and Duris: Land of Bloodlust. Of the two, TorilMUD is regarded as the more direct inheritor of Sojourn’s legacy. Toril continued until 1998, when it became Sojourn 2, and underwent another rebirth in 2001 as Sojourn 3. Kris retired in 2003, and Sojourn 3 was reborn as TorilMUD, or as the old-time players refer to it, Toril 2. Throughout these rebirths, the areas and code continued to grow: there are currently 300 zones (with several more nearing completion), 16277 types of monsters/mobs, and 13753 different items.

    Many TorilMUD staff members were staff on Sojourn 3, Sojourn 2, and some are even from Toril 1, providing a degree of continuity. All Toril staff started as players on the MUD, giving them a great deal of personal experience with the game.





  • About 3 months ago on my way home picking up burgers for my bro and i. On a major route and this sketch pedo van (early 90s white ford econoline rusted out and ratty as hell) busts out of a side street, almost hitting one person, slams on their brakes, slides over 2 lanes into oncoming traffic passes me and 2 other people before cutting someone off as an oncoming car almost hit them head on, the. Makes a left hand turn on a red light at the next intersection.

    This could have been in a movie except somehow no accidents happened in my view. Fucking crazy.

    Besides that a few years ago at 3 lane traffic circle on one side of an overpass to our largest highway(settle down, its only 3 lanes each way!)hear someone absolutely gunning it over the overpass. Comes into view, brand new metallic blue BMW M3 goes the wrong way into the traffic circle (everyone stopped because we all heard it coming) loses control, spins like 480° almost hits the retaining wall in the middle of the circle then proceeds to gun it back over the overpass they came from.

    I blame drugs
