she did not get disqualified due to testosterone levels, see my other comment

she wasn’t even disqualified for having high T. they disqualified her first and then did tests and later announced that she supposedly had XY chromosomes, which I don’t believe. I recommend reading through these sources and watching the official statement from the IOC spokesperson (time code added so you don’t have to watch the whole video):

I personally believe that IBA was butthurt about her beating a Russian boxer or got bribed into disqualifying her, and then made up the gender test bullshit to justify it. now the transphobes used this opportunity to pretend to care about women’s sports and attack trans people, even though imane khelif is definitely 100% not trans:

EDIT: the livestream i linked to was taken down. i looked on their youtube channel and theres a video with only the relevant part. you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/D4HiUIX9o00?si=UWz3uqCDXBhg98cI

EDIT EDIT: nvm I’m stupid, I fucked up the link lmao. here is the working link to the Livestream: https://youtube.com/live/QxeIRI2Qcag?t=1912

if you actually read and watched the statements from the IOC you would know that khelif was not disqualified by the IBA for having high testosterone (they never did a testosterone test) and instead decided to disqualify her first and then look for a reason and accused her of having XY chromosomes, which I personally don’t believe.

you’re the exception.

that’s because they’re not the same people. no matter what you do, people get upset. do what you think is right

they have considered it. we’re not supposed to go to another country, they want us to go to the afterlife

a greek poet. “sappho and her friend” makes fun of straight people pretending that an obviously homosexual relationship is just a friendship

lmao

if they decide that treating the “transgendereds” like people is “harmful to children” then it’ll be banned.

rokos basilisk is the most stupidest thing and I hate it so much. it’s so obviously just plain wrong. it’s just wrong. it’s not even an interpretation thing. most stupidest and insane and useless idea ever.

edit: I’m still mad at that one YouTuber that did a video about rokos basilisk pretending it made even a little bit of sense.

reminds me of that bear from inside job

nope! bitcoins aren’t fungible anymore. you can track all bitcoins across the entire blockchain, any bitcoins involved in illegal activity are “dirty” and not accepted by exchanges. “virgin” bitcoins are worth more than “used” bitcoins. they aren’t truly fungible anymore.

true, but right now it’s mostly done through a third party. the argument I’ve heard from nft fans is that nfts would allow you to skip that step

btw fun fact, all bitcoins are NFTs

well the one advantage would be that you aren’t relying on some company to keep the servers running. I’m not a fan of NFTs, me struggling to come up with any uses for them should be a sign of that.

e

NFTs aren’t links

the larger context sizes specifically are what I’m fascinated by. imagine running an LLM locally and feeding it all your data. appointments, relationships, notes whatever. you could also connect it to smart Home devices. I really need to get my hands on a GPU with 16 gigs of vram

Im not saying everyone should understand it, I just think the ratio of understanding to hatred is a bit skewed. you should at least know what something is before passionately hating it.

I’ve heard some people talk about how NFTs could maybe be used to replace concert tickets and stuff like that somehow I think? not sure what advantages that would have. maybe NFTs could be used as a less invasive sort of DRM?
