Jobs was the fucking cracks. The reason why zoomers have no fucking idea where their files are on their computer are because of the shitty attitude instilled into iphones/ipods.

Artistic nudity allowed

Implied nudity prohibited

please update the text to indicate the accusations of antisemitism is from one of the israeli players and not due to the actual refusal to shake hands.

, Basketball Ireland said on social media that its players had decided to do away with the usual pre-match courtesies, linking the decision to earlier comments made by Israeli player Dor Saar.

In an interview published on Tuesday by the Israeli Basketball Association, Saar addressed the upcoming match with Ireland. “It’s known that they are quite antisemitic and it’s no secret, and maybe that’s why a strong game is expected,” she said. “We talk about it among ourselves. We know they don’t love us and we will leave everything on the field always and in this game especially.”

no-iron clothes have synthetics in them

most my clothing is 100% cotton, and I have never ironed once I left my parent's home.

Im amazed at how epic is fucking up their success with Fortnite and the unreal engine. Valve transformed the good will from HL into a fucking empire dominating pc gaming distribution, and it just kept the end user in mind just a bit but still tried all it could to make profit.

Epic can't stop fucking up the end users' rights and thus are getting beaten

Now :

This is marketable in certain demographics, but we've already met the diversity quota, so no thanks. Besides, we don't want it to be too "political" and lose our dependable fanbase.

I'm pretty sure some of the trans people here would enjoy having a trans crypt

Victim blaming. "She's a filthy bisexual pot buyer!" It wasn't even for her.

Clarifications and comments (some pre emptive)

Chess has a women's category to boost participation and spotlight female players.

Women can and do compete in the open category, which allows men and women. However, currently the highest rated women perform under the super closed "Super GM" level, so they participate in the tournaments that are less prestigious but fitting their rating. Male players like IM Eric Rosen also participate in such tournaments.

The best female player in history , Judit Polgar was 8th best in the world when taking both genders into account. There's nothing stopping women from reaching the elite level in open chess. She even participated in the candidates tournament which decides who gets to play against the world champion for the world champion title. Unfortunately she didn't perform too well, but it's not because of her gender, she was basically beaten 2-1 (plus draws) by a male competitor, just like the other contestants in the round she was eliminated.

At her peak she had 2735 Elo points, making her 55th highest rated person in the history of organized chess. This is higher than one of the actual challengers to the crown, Nigel short.

Regarding the rulings:

  1. No one is going to pretend to be a woman, in order to convert the person's identity with fide, they are required to have government issued paperwork saying they have transitioned. It's not worth it.

  2. it's funny that male to female transgender people are not regarded as women by this ruling, hence cannot participate in women's events, but female to male transgender people also forfeit their women's titles as they are not seen as women either. (To be fair, they can convert them to open titles, and get them back if they detransition officially)

So according to FIDE, transitioning from a man to a woman doesn't make you a woman, you are considered a man, but also, transitioning from a woman to a man makes you a man, so you are also not considered a woman.

Seems paradoxical. You'd think they'd pick one and stick to it.

Also: chess does have physical advantages, but they seem to be reletive and not competitive. Most high level players have some sports regimen as it helps increase cardiovascular efficiency, but size of competitor doesn't seem to matter as seen by David Bronstein and Mikhail Tal. Ian Nepomniatchschi intentionally lost weight for the world championship, and his ratings grew as a result.

Remember that whales are not necessarily more clever than humans even though their brains are huge in comparison.

if it's not against jews, it's just sparkling crimes against humanity

SHANGHAI, April 15 (Reuters) - Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday reassured Chinese students in Shanghai that they did not have to smoke cannabis if they studied in Germany and that Germany had legalised cannabis hoping that consumption would go down.

Scholz made the comments in response to a question from a student at Tongji University, who asked whether he would have to smoke cannabis if he studied in Germany, as the drug was not legal in China.

Germany passed legislation to legalise cannabis in February, allowing individuals and associations to grow and possess limited quantities of cannabis.

"We don't want more people to consume cannabis, we want fewer people to consume cannabis, we want there to be more public education about it," Scholz said.

"The answer is very simple: you don't have to smoke. But I do" Scholz said, before doing a fat bong rip, right there on the stage.

The chancellor, who is on a visit to China and will meet leaders in Beijing on Tuesday, said Germany wanted to bring cannabis "out of the grey area, and people into the green area".

Some 4 million people consumed cannabis in Germany in 2022, according to health ministry data.

I slightly edited it.
