I can't unsee it anymore. It really does look like one.

Sport is such an unfair world, trying to find equality and justice in it is futile. We don't want kids taking growth hormones to boost their chances of making it into the NBA. But that also means we crush the dream of plenty of people. Athletes with asthma can't use their inhaler under certain circumstances. A few years ago an UFC fighter with Asthma got his win overturned because he used an inhaler inbetween rounds.

There was a huge discussion about allowing prosthetics in "regular" competition. Turned out at the time that proshetics weren't advanced enough to give an advantage. But I think we all know that this is only a matter of time. And eventually a hard ruling needs to be made that dictates in which direction sport goes.

Banning athletes who take as many hormones, hormone blockers, and other mediaction as transwomen usually take is 100% something that needs to happen. Especially considering that in certain leagues the usage of these substances is the only reason that transwomen are allowed to compete. That feels against the spirit of sport and TUEs. But untill more data exist, I doubt a useful ruling can be made.

What I don't like about the whole discussion is going for the "They aren't real women" argument. That feels degrading and hurtful for everyone involved. I don't want cis or transwomen to have to undergo inspections to determine their gender.

Absolute Armut ist gegeben wenn durch die Armut das physische Überleben gefährdet wird. Sprich, man kann sich Nahrung, Unterkunft, und Kleidung nicht mehr leisten. Für die ist es egal wieviele Millionäre im Land sind.

Relative Armut herrscht wenn die Grundbedürfnisse zwar gedeckt sind aber die Leute von der üblichen Lebensweise ausgeschlossen sind.

In Deutschland gibts kaum noch absolute Armut, von daher wird relative Armut als "Armut" bezeichnet. Und der Autor von dem Artikel mag das nicht weil keine Ahnung. Er will dass wir nur absolute Armut als Armut bezeichnen. Keine Ahnung was sein Plan für relative Armut ist. Vermutlich ist ihm das egal und die Leute sollen froh sein dass sie nicht in absoluter Armut leben.

You miss the point of the discussion. The discussion is about how Fahrenheit relate to how humans interact with numbers and relate that number to temperature based on how that temperature feels.

I am not saying Celsius is arbirtray, I am saying that 40 being really hot is a weird number for most humans to associate with "hottest weather you are somewhat likely experience". Of course if you grew up with Celsius it feels second nature. But for someone who isn't familiar with either Celsius or Fahrenheit, the 0 - 100 could be way more intutive. Fahrenheit still fails at this because the numbers between 0-100 don't really add up with what's intuitive.

That's why I said the original argument of "Fahrenheit is how humans feel" doesn't work.

Auf dem Characterbogen gibts ein Feld für "Am Körper" und eins für "Im Gepäck". Alles was am Körper getragen wird kann mehr oder weniger frei gezogen werded und der Spieler kann sich aussuchen welche davon er benutzten will. Alles was im Gepäck ist muss erst rausgekramt werden und das würde 1 Runde dauern.

Der Nachteil zuviele Waffen am Körper zu tragen ist, man kann die nicht alle auf einmal abwerfen. Beispiel, der Spieler fällt ins Wasser und geht unter weil seine Ausrüstung zu schwer ist. Er kann den ganzen Rucksack auf einmal abwerfen. Aber wenn er dann noch 2 Schwerter am Gürtel trägt, 2 Dolche in jeden Schuh und und und hat, dann kann er nur eins pro Runde abwerfen.

Zweihändige Waffen müss in der Hand getragen werden. Spielt aber eher ne Rolle um festzustellen ob die Hand frei ist oder nicht. Die Waffe kann man jederzeit fallen lassen, aber dann kann man sie erst wieder verwenden wenn man sie aufhebt. Für alle anderen Waffen gibts eigentlich immer ne art von Holster oder Scheide. Selbst für Bögen gibts ja Hüfthalter.

In der Regel benutzten Spieler aber auch höchstens 2 bis 3 Waffen. Eine für Fernkampf und eine für Nahkampf. Kaum jemand benutzt nen Bogen und ne Schleuder, spielt also sehr selten ne Rolle wo die Schleuder wirklich ist.

No, Celsius doesn't make more sense in regard to how humans feel. It just feels more intuitive to us because we are used to the numbers. But if you try to explain the scala to someone the numbers feel entirely arbitrary with no real reason behind it. Why is 40 the really hot? 40 is such a weird number for humans.

0 being cold, 100 being hot makes sense, anyone can grasp that concept. But the inbetween steps of Fahrenheit make no sense. It isn't intuitive, it only makes sense if you are used to them. A intuitive scala would be:

0 - cold, you need proper winter clothes 25 - chilly, you need a light jacket 50 - room temperature 75 - getting uncomfortably hot 100 - too hot, heatstroke is a real danger

It only makes sense if you grow up with Fahrenheit. Otherwise Fahrenheit isn't how humans feels since most of us have no concept what these number mean.

If I would just go with 0 - cold 100 - hot I would assume 50 - perfect. But 50 is still chilly. 70-80 feels like it should be getting hot but that's the most comfortable temperature.

Hier in Österreich ist das schon so. Karfreitag is kein Feiertag mehr dafür hat man 1 Urlaubstag extra. Man muss den 3 Monate I'm vorraus bekannt geben aber der Arbeitgeber darf ihn nicht ablehnen.

Changing the design of a beloved character was always met with criticism and skepticism. When James Bond was made blonde by casting Daniel Craig there was as much of an uproar amongst the fan base as when Ariel was made black.

If a movie is good, people will accept the design changes, if the movie is bad people will blame the design changes. And some people just never get over the design changes and will refuse to give it a chance.

The discussion is just a bit more heated because of the current social and political climate. But that's mostly by people who don't even care about the movie and just use the topic to stir the pot.

I don't like this kind of ambition. It can only fail. BG3 was already big enough. Just make a game in similar scope and everything would be fine.

Phrases like:

I think there is some tech that we don't have yet,

And I don't know what the specs are on the next gen [of gaming systems] yet, but I hope that it's going to bring us closer.

Are very discouraging. And this easily could become the next Star Citizen.

No, there is too much content for that nowadays. YouTube has over 3 million new videos each day. Facebook, TikTok, Instagram also has ridiculous amounts of new posts every day. Browsing Reddit on New was a terrible experience on r/all or even many of the bigger subs. Even on the fediverse sorting by new is not enjoyable. You are swarmed with reposts, and content that's entirely uninteresting to you.

It works in smaller communities but there it isn't really necessary. You usually have an overview of all the content anyhow and it doesn't matter how it's ordered.

Any social media that plans on scaling up needs a more advanced system.

Da gehts nicht um ein goldenseal Paradis zu finden. Es geht darum dass Deutschland nicht viel mehr bietet als andere Länder Aber das Gehalt geringer ist.

Vor 10-20 Jahren hatte Deutschland zumindest noch wesentliche vorteile die ein geringeres Gehalt akzeptabel gemacht hatten. Aber die AfD gewinnt Jahr für Jahr an Stimmen. Sozialleistungen, Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, Umweltschutz, etc. fallen alle kurz. Und dann gibts halt keinen wirklichen Grund länger in Deutschland zu bleiben. Weil wenn man schon in ner schelchten Gesamtsituation leben muss, dann lieber mit mehr Geld.

Beispiel Krankenpflege, in Deutschland bekommt man rund 35,000 Euro im Jahr. Australien und Kanada zaheln rund 50,000 Euro, Dänemark zahlt 80,000 Euro und die USA noch mehr. USA sind das einzige Land wo das höhere Gehalt vielleicht nicht die Lebenserwartungen wert sind. Aber solange Trump nicht gewinnt gitbs selbst dort genug Staaten wo es noch akzeptabel ist.
