One person had said If we are banning people who were born with a penis from women’s sports because they were born with an unfair advantage over other competitors, why aren’t we banning people over 6.5’ tall from the NBA?

Because womens sport divisions and leagues were specifically created because women physically cannot compete at the same level as men. Biologically they're built differently - they're not as strong, as fast, as tall, etc.

What you're saying is "why even have womens divisions at all?". If that's what you want then fair enough, but just know that it basically eliminates female athletes altogether apart from a few select sports like gymnastics.

No one is calling to BAN trans people from sport - just to have them compete with others of their SEX, not their self identified "gender identity". That's not a "hate crime", that's just fairness in sport.

The only exception to this is IMO ones that (I like)

Oh are we just making up quotes now? Fun! Why did you say this?

Because, again, it is about managing risk of turning into a newt.

No one is at risk of turning into a newt, witches aren't real! You silly billy!

If we stick to just what people actually said though, you'd see that I said that the ones you can trust to not keep logs and as such actually keep you safe from tracking are who you should use.

If you don’t trust the VPN you use then why do you even use a VPN?

Again - no one is doing any “stanning”. I never said don’t take precautions. One precaution is to thoroughly investigate the VPN company that you choose to use. The entire point of PIA is privacy. If they started lying not only would they get sued beyond belief, but they wouldn’t exist anymore.

You’re getting mixed up. Australia isn’t doing work for Israel - Israel is doing work for Australia.

Wow that’s really something of a reply lol. No one is “stanning” for anything. Who is defining themself by what they consume?

If you’ve got a steam deck then your best option by far is to just get a monitor or tv and hook the Steam Deck up to it. That’s the best option available to you, by far, while also being one of the cheapest.

You say you’ll be using the Steam Deck as a pc replacement……. So you already have a monitor/tv to hook it up to?

(I’m non-white in a white majority country)

Statistically you're more likely to kill a white person than one of them kill you btw.

I agree with the rest though - why wouldn't you just carry your phone? It has a bunch of useful features that you never know when you'll need. One of them is even to play music like OP wants!

[–] FreedomAdvocate 2 points 1 year ago

Get an iPod.....or your phone and just don't use it for anything other than music.....

You can do it through some of the Lemmy apps, like you could on reddit with RES and some of the apps. Just puts a tag next to peoples name whenever you see them in the app.

I think we collectively as a culture would need to agree not to tip

That's what I'm saying.

which isn’t going to happen.

Not with that attitude it won't!

A much easier way would be through legislation and forcing employers to pay fair wages.

Then you get into the other massive issues - define "fair". Who defines what is a fair wage? Is it just minimum wage enforcement? If you raise the minimum wage for servers then you have to raise it almost everywhere else, which will fuel massive inflation and job losses.

I don’t think customers would be inclined to tip someone making a fair wage.

But when you tip you have no idea what the servers wage is.

Also as someone else pointed out in here, some states tried to get rid of tipping by raising the minimum wage of these servers and they complained so much the government abandoned it.
