I do agree that people in the same sport will train the same muscles, but they normally start with a biological advantage in order to be good enough in the sport to start to train specifically for it to begin with. There are other things than height, such and foot/hand size, torso length, natural testosterone levels, how fast your body removed lactic acid, if you were born with a cardio-vascular issue, dozens of factors that affect your balance, and much more.

Someone with Ehlers-Danlos isn't likely to become a powerlifter.

  1. Trans men get the ability to compete with other men, I assume you mean trans women get to compete with other women.
  2. No one actually cares about women's sports until "the trans issue" comes up. This argument is just an excuse to try to harm trans people. Most people can't name a WNBA team, or name more than 5 female athletes.
  3. Biological differences is what professional sports are. That's why people who have similar builds seem to play the same sports.

The article says that cedar is being used "for grounding and protection", so at least some of it is bullshit.

I am also on team bar soap, but body wash isn't always "soap", it's sometimes a detergent.

Which is another reason why I am on team bar soap.

"Masculinity" isn't toxic on its own, "Toxic Masculinity" is a specific thing on its own.

It's using the measuring stick of being "masculine enough" or "enough of a man" to harm someone else.

Here's the link they probably tried to link:
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/the-dose-noise-health-1.6889724

It's from the same news source as the image they linked, and it contains the line "If you live in a big city in Canada, chances are you regularly hear noises that are harmful to your health."

But, I am suspect of this poster. That URL for the picture seems sketchy, and using a sentence from a 2-year-old news story is also odd as hell.

While opt-in polls cannot be assigned a margin of error

Basically, these numbers don't really count for anything.

Fuck the hellhole that is Alberta, but they don't have the most cases in Canada.

No, people like to pretend that using linux is hard for some reason.

It's not 2003 anymore.

People use them to make their generators power their homes, by adding power into an outlet.

So, whatever time of year power outages are likely to happen in this area.

I think that the points that DWS brings up are quite good.

If we ignore all of the "rights and freedoms" based arguments, "Why are we spending money to forcing people into treatment, when people who actually want to get into treatment can't, because of a lack of money?" is still quite damming of the program.

If someone wants to get clean, they are much more likely to actually stay clean than someone who was forced to. It's not a one-and-done process. If you don't have supports and tools set-up, relapse rates, even if you want to be clean, are quite high.

If the goal is to reduce the amount of drug users, putting the money to help people who want to be helped would go much further.
