[Thread] To demonstrate why it is insane to allow males to compete against girls in sports, here are the results from the 2019 Connecticut state championships. Miller and Yearwood, both males, came in first and second in the girls 55 meter dash. Third place was far behind.
Now here are the results from the boys meet. This is the field Yearwood and Miller should have competed against. They wouldn’t have even finished in the top 7, or close to it. These are mediocre male athletes who absolutely dominate the girls. Why? Because biology.
Another example. The 300 meter. Miller crushes the girls, finishing first by almost a full second (an eternity in a sprint). Now look at the boys. He would not have even sniffed 12th place. Wouldn’t have qualified for the finals at all, in fact.
It’s true that Miller and Yearwood only came in second, third, or fourth in some other races. But the point is that they were easily winning medals, and depriving girls of the same medals, despite being not very good runners by the standards of their biological sex.
No honest person can look at this and deny this obvious: males have inherent biological advantages in sports, and that doesn’t change just because a certain male “identifies as a girl.” His self identification in fact has no bearing whatsoever on the biological fact of the matter
Chelsea Mitchell worked and trained for years to become the top female sprinter in the state. But she finishes third behind two guys. If this is okay with you, please don’t pretend to care about women.

The fascinating thing about Qanon is that there was never any evidence of any kind to support it -- ever, at all. It was literally just a bad movie plot that some rando on the internet made up, and many people believed it out of hand, automatically, for no discernible reason.
Usually conspiracy theorists can hang their hat on a few lines of evidence. Taken out of context and misinterpreted, of course, but at least there's something there. With this, there's nothing. Just nothing at all. It's hard to even say people were "duped." I mean duped by what?
This was just a delusion that people walked right into, almost willingly, and adopted. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite like it.
Look, you can rant about the “the Republican Party” all you want, and blame them for not living up to their promises, but if you are exempting Trump from those criticisms then you’re as much of a gutless squish as the people you’re complaining about
The fact is that Trump ran as a “law and order” candidate but when rampaging mobs destroyed our city he spent most of them time tweeting the words “law and order” and bragging about the prison reform bill he worked on with Kim Kardashian.
He also supported the lockdowns after opposing them, and handed his government over to Fauci and Birx even while still whining about them on twitter and in Fox interviews.
For anyone too stupid to understand the point, the reason we are talking about the followers we're losing is because Twitter is quite obviously engaged in an unprecedented purge of accounts, or else is manipulating our accounts, and yet has not explained what they're doing or why
Here's how many followers I've lost over the past few days. It is entirely reasonable for me to be concerned about this and to want to know why this is happening.
I don't buy that all of these people are choosing to delete their accounts in protest or whatever. But if that's what's happening though, Twitter should just say so. Instead they issued a bullshit statement about "fluctuations" due to security measures.
Name a song where the cover is better than the original. I nominate "Hallelujah" (Buckley > Cohen) and "Me and Bobby McGee" (Joplin > Kristofferson).
This one is a little more obscure but this cover of John Prine is better than the original in my opinion. And I usually tend to prefer the Prine originals over the covers.
Another slightly more obscure nominee: Cowboy Junkies version of "Powderfinger" over the Neil Young original
Dems open congress with a prayer that ends “amen and awoman.” Amen is a Latin word that means “truly” or “so be it.” Awoman is a nonsense word that means nothing. Dems find a way to make everything stupid and nonsensical. Utter clowns, all of them.
I’m now being corrected that “amen” originated in Hebrew and then passed through Greek and Latin into English usage. I need to brush up on my etymology but the point is that the word is not gendered and this PC change is incoherent and absurd.
Can anyone interpret the first part of this? He says "We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God"... and who? It sounds like he says "Brahma," as in the Hindu god, but I can't be sure.
