I did not worry every second that I allegedly am about to to live in an authoritarian state.

What are you talking about?

I’m not American, but that was fun to watch. I had my popcorn and everything. It felt like I’m watching Cartman debate Wendy or something.

Do you really believe someone who is still undecided going into last night’s debate is a reasonable person?

It’s not just about president it’s about party. Someone might not like Trump. But at the same time dislike democratic policies and democrats as a party.

So now the have to decide. Do they go against Republicans due to their candidate? Hearing Kamala debate him might convince them that yeah… ok. They’re not THAT bad… at least they (democrats) are better than him (Trump)

Unfortunately, I’ve had plenty of conversations here with people who think exactly this.

So yes, there are people who literally think this.

Not about that. They have some misguided notion that Russia stands for some imaginary form of communism that is the answer to everything.

And everything bad in the world is because of Capitalism. And also, everything west of Russia is “The west” and the entire “the west” is one entity.

It’s a .ml community. What did you expect?

All you have is trying to insult me because you think I’m white. Pathetic. I’m not American. I’m not part of your little race war. Don’t include me in it.

If you never comment, and only vote, it’s not going to doxx you. Your account can be assumed to live in a certain city. That’s it. Please tell me how that is used to dox someone. “Shit they know I live in Frome, I’m done for!”

But now you bringing up posting local pictures. Which is so far from “just voting”. That’s not your voting doxxing you. That’s you posting local pictures doxxing you.

You really didn’t think your argument through did you?

How very American of you. Me disclosing my ethnicity to you would do a lot more on the way of doxxing than any voting pattern ever could. Don’t you think?

How exactly do you imagine “never commenting, but showing votes” might dox someone?

My home adress is not on display here. Imagine if pigs had wings. Imagine living on Mars upside down. And how long is a rope?

I don’t mind because I don’t care who knows what posts and comments I vote for. I’m more than happy to stand up for what I think and why I think so.

Worst case. I get banned from .ml communities for seeing through the blatant ccp propaganda. No loss there.

As you wish, and probably a good idea;

Voting on lemmy is not private because anyone who wants to find out. Can. Be it moderators, adminis, or users on federated sites that simply show it for everyone.

You don’t. You never have. Voting already is not private

Its already not private

Are people really ok with this?

What are you gonna do about it?

No one would be forced to buy a license from Ford. IF they decide it has to be on every car, and it’s that specific system, they would have to buy it out from Ford.

But legislation like that doesn’t happen over night. It’s planned several years in advance so everyone has time to implement it.

But if that’s what you’re worries about. I suggest you vote for whomever is opposed to it. And if no one is opposed. I suggest you protest.

What is it you want to achieve in this discussion? I know that there is no rule against women playing in the NBA if that’s what you’re asking.

If Brittney Griner is so good that she’s better than NBA players, I’m sure NBA teams would be contracting her instead of WNBA. Good for her. Probably make more money too.

What’s the point you want to make? The WNBA has made a call that it’s cool for her to compete there. I don’t know what you want me to say? It’s a different case in a different sport.

I’m sure the appropriate league will make their determination based on the information available to them.

I don’t see the point in debating a made up scenario of yours where the only information available is the one you’re imagining.

I’m simply informing you that the IBA (International Boxing Association) does do genetic testing. And this woman have been excluded as a result. It has already happened. The debate of which is slightly higher level than the other is pointless and irrelevant

As per what I think. I think women’s sport was created to promote sports for women and boost their participation. And also to give them an equal playingfield. due to men (who are genetically different), often have a physical advantage because of it.

If a woman, have these genetic traits that give men their physical advantages (and I’m speaking in broad, general terms). I can understand if there is a debate about allowing her to compete with other women that doesn’t. It is after all one of the two reasons women’s sports were created in the first place.

It’s an absolute win win.

1. If they patent it, no one else can use the same system in the same way. So it’s contained to Ford.

2. If they don’t end up using it. It’s simply a safeguard that no one else can either.

3. If they do end up using it, people will shy away from Ford, making the roads safer for everyone.

As I said. Win win. This is fantastic news.

They already do genetic testing on the highest level of competition. She’s been excluded by IBA because of it.
