Care to share sources for any of these claims?

I assume by “the trans athlete in swimming” you’re referring to Lia Thomas. Here’s an excerpt from her Wikipedia page:

In March 2022, Thomas became the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I national championship in any sport after winning the women’s 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:33.24; Olympic silver medalist Emma Weyant was second with a time 1.75 seconds behind Thomas.

1.75 seconds is hardly “30 seconds” as you claim. Note that this is the only event she won, no one seems to care that she also placed last in the 100 freestyle event, or that even in the event that she won she was over 9 seconds slower than the women’s record for 500 yard-freestyle.

As for the MMA fighter, after a quick search I’ll assume you’re talking about Fallon Fox? It’s true she did injure one of her opponents, Tamikka Brents. I don’t know much about MMA, but seeing as it’s a sport where people punch and kick each other violently, I’d assume injuries happen.

Let’s assume she did have an advantage as a result of going through male puberty as a teen. Where do we draw the line in regulating biological advantage in sports?

Caster Semenya, a runner who was assigned female at birth and has lived her entire life as a woman, has higher levels of testosterone than the average cis woman. Should she be banned from competing?

Michael Phelps, a cis man with many Olympic medals in swimming, has an unusually large wingspan, double-jointed ankles, and produces around half the lactic acid of an average person, all of which gives him a biological advantage. Should we rescind his medals?

Why is “unfair biological advantage” in sports only brought up in the case of trans women (or in the case of Caster Selenga, gender non-conforming women who are mistakenly assumed to be trans?)

All companies using this shit software should be barred from being landlord and the province should take over

Everything that is necessary for survival (food, water, and shelter at a minimum) should be a public good and not managed by profit-seeking individuals or corporations.

It’s worked fine for me across three different addresses. The link I shared in my previous comment also has info on how to report if it doesn’t get respected, as the other commenter suggested.

FYI, you can just slap a note on your mailbox saying “No unaddressed mail” and you’ll stop receiving the vast majority of junkmail.

Here’s a link to Canada Post’s website with more info.

I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a “regular coffee”.

Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn’t parse “regular coffee” as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply “coffee”!

I honestly don’t even know why it annoys me this much.

I used to do social media for a small theatre company. I would have adored this rather than constantly fighting with the atrocity that is Meta Business Suite.

Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular “they” is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!

Singular “they” actually predates singular “you”.

0, badass is not something I’ve ever felt, nor particularly strived for.

I’m more of a goodie-two-shoes people pleaser type.

I really wish the Greens would push the Libs hard on electoral reform. It’s wildly undemocratic that we have a riding (Riverview) where the Cons won with ~39% of the vote, when the Libs had ~34% and the Greens had ~25%.

I’m glad David Coon kept his seat

Same, he and Megan Mitton in Tantramar are excellent MLAs and we sorely need voices other than Lib or PC in the legislature.

I’m sad for Green candidate Kevin Arseneau who lost his seat in Kent North, he was a very dynamic speaker in Fredericton.

I hope the remaining Green caucus pushes hard for electoral reform; the Lib majority tonight was won more off of Higg’s failures than by the actual Liberal platform. As always in NB elections, we voted a government out rather than voting one in. I wish that would change, but it won’t as long as we have first-past-the-post.

I’m not thrilled by a Liberal majority, but I must admit I prefer the Libs’ tendency of inaction to the Cons active destruction when it comes to policies near to my heart, including healthcare, education, linguistic rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and our relationship with First Nations.

I don’t dare put any hope in them to move our province forward, but at least they won’t be as active in making NB worse as the past Conservative government was.

I am i mean 😅 which is simultaneously hilarious take my shift on August after bullshit about it with and you want to be nice to you comes across as an avid beer drinker I’d be down to hang out with me you’re automatically turn on von when not on home network remotely through it with and you want to be nice to you know you can be a fan of this is the tipping culture I want to be nice to you know.

This tweet honestly recontextualised the song enough for me to appreciate it.

I was reading, thinking “this is definitely New Brunswick” before recognizing your username :P

I’m originally from Bathurst, hotboxing a Honda Civic in the McDonald’s parking lot was essentially a rite of passage.

Sidenote: the culture of driving stoned and/or drunk is so crazy prevalent around here. I was pretty reckless as a teenager, thankfully I now know better but a lot of people I knew back then never grew out of it.

The background of all my devices is a gradient version of the bisexual flag, so I guess that’d be my fav gradient!

I live in a city with a pretty high rate of bicycle theft (I actually had a bike stolen a couple years ago).

Now, whenever I leave my bike somewhere, I always put two different types of locks (a U-lock and a chain lock) and never leave it outside overnight.

Kubernetes can also be known as K8s

So many posts at /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world make a lot more sense to me now, thanks!

I’m legitimately afraid at the idea of my parents growing old at the same time our healthcare system is falling apart. I can’t help but feel I will see them (and others) needlessly suffer due to lack of availability and affordability of healthcare sooner than later.

This reminds me of turning a sphere inside out.

I love weird theoretical stuff like this that seems to have no practical, real world applications.
