Just have someone carry you around in their pockets, then throw you in the enemies eyes to temporarily blind them.

Butthurt C devs don’t want it replacing their language.

Trotskist.

Actually yeah, I think just about every so called communist state is what would be called a failed workers state by the non authoritarian socialists.

They were originally funded by the us to fight against Russia in the 80s iirc

Wow. It’s come full circle.

why not both?

I wouldn’t want to live in Turkey, but they do have good food.

I don’t hate the Europeans for having fair working conditions. I hate the rich assholes that make my home country such a shitty place to live and work in.

It’s time to emulate the french and set the place on fire if they don’t start treating us fair.

free speech also applies to lemmy servers. If the server doesn’t agree with most of what’s on your server, they can and should have the option to not associate with your server at all. This honestly sounds like a shit take elon would have made.

It’s Australia though. It does get pretty toasty in summer. It’s just not expected to get that toasty in winter.

Welcome to the space Olympics

But it seems to me that many many Ukranian citizens are actively fighting to ensure their survival and the survival of their nation, so by your own logic it should exist. If you don’t want to fight, that’s fine. Don’t fight. There should be no duty to fight, but if you love your country, and want your way of life to continue, you should fight against the invading forces who want to destroy your country and way of life.

I’m not the one who invaded Ukraine, but i support them fighting back against the aggressor.

would you rather just roll over and let russia take over?

Fuck the imperialist russian state. They had an invasion coming the moment they invaded and annexed crimea.

So what?

No, the rules are very clear. It’s just right wing nutcases making up shit just to stir up trouble. The rules are there, and they’ve been in place long before this particular Olympic event.

No you aren’t. You’re arguing about trans women athletes competing in the Olympics against cis women in a thread specifically about Imane.

so, the heart of your argument itself is sexist. Your argument is, basically, that a man is better than a woman at sports, just because he’s a man. Athletes at this level are insanely talented and fit. Some are even genetic anomalies, which explain why they can be so good at their sport. Simone biles is really small, which is why she’s so good at flipping.

A female boxer at this level would decimate a male boxer who isn’t genetically selected for and who hasn’t trained his whole life to get to that level. Being male doesn’t make one good at sports.

On the scale youre talking about, the government would be complicit in widescale corruption to rig a single event in an event where there’s no money involved for the winner, requiring several hundred people to be the athletes who might be good enough to go to the event, boatloads of money to train them, and even then, they might get one through the event if the athlete isn’t injured. All for what reward? A single relatively worthless gold medal?

I think you might have come full circle here. Being trans is her country is illegal. Why would such a country send a trans athlete? Because she isn’t trans.

You aren’t talking about trans athletes, you’re talking about a woman who won a sport, and was demonized for being trans, and she isn’t even trans. The right wing had to make this shit up just so they would have a boogie man to be scared of.
