She looks nice.

Most board games are based on consensus.

Should it be probed?

Does this guy have a pro-Confederate ancestor?

1. We should cut funding to Israel.
2. We should not tariff Chinese EVs.
3. Marijuana should be legalized.
4. The war in Iraq was wrong (either of them).
5. A woman has a right to bodily autonomy.

This is why golfers should be able to carry assault rifles at golf courses and Trump rallies: they too should have a fighting chance against assassins.

wp:Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

Before 1776, women had a vote in several of the colonies in what would become the United States, but by 1807 every state constitution had denied women even limited suffrage.

​

(my bold)

Full women's suffrage continued in Wyoming after it became a state in 1890. Colorado granted partial voting rights that allowed women to vote in school board elections in 1893 and Idaho granted women suffrage in 1896. Beginning with Washington in 1910, seven more western states passed women's suffrage legislation, including California in 1911, Oregon, Arizona, and Kansas in 1912, Alaska Territory in 1913, and Montana and Nevada in 1914. All states that were successful in securing full voting rights for women before 1920 were located in the West.[13][25]

​

Much of the opposition to the amendment came from Southern Democrats; only two former Confederate states (Texas and Arkansas) and three border states voted for ratification,[42] with Kentucky and West Virginia not doing so until 1920.

​

(my bold)

Leser said the amendment "destroyed State autonomy" because it increased Maryland's electorate without the state's consent. The Supreme Court answered that the Nineteenth Amendment had similar wording to the Fifteenth Amendment, which had expanded state electorates without regard to race for more than fifty years by that time despite rejection by six states (including Maryland).[94][97]

​

(my bold)

After the U.S. presidential election in 1924, politicians realized the women's bloc they had feared did not actually exist and they did not need to cater to what they considered as "women's issues" after all.[105] The eventual appearance of an American women's voting bloc has been tracked to various dates, depending on the source, from the 1950s[106] to 1970.[107] Around 1980, a nationwide gender gap in voting had emerged, with women usually favoring the Democratic candidate in presidential elections.[108]

​

On the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, President Donald Trump posthumously pardoned Susan B. Anthony.[146]

​

however ...,

wp:Emma Goldman

In her essay "Woman Suffrage", she ridicules the idea that women's involvement would infuse the democratic state with a more just orientation: "As if women have not sold their votes, as if women politicians cannot be bought!"[182] She agreed with the suffragists' assertion that women are equal to men but disagreed that their participation alone would make the state more just. "To assume, therefore, that she would succeed in purifying something which is not susceptible of purification, is to credit her with supernatural powers."[183] Goldman was also critical of Zionism, which she saw as another failed experiment in state control.[184]

The legislation increases fines for violations of state water curtailment to as much as $10,000 per day, plus $2,500 for each acre-foot of water diverted. (An acre-foot is 325,851 gallons, or enough to cover one acre a foot deep.)

so less than a nickel per gallon, for the first acre-foot, and less than 2 pennies per gallon if it's 4 acre-foot?

I think I told a mod there that if I was un-banned I'd refrain about talking about TG issues in that community

I've heard nothing about it since.

There's at least some subreddits that I can speak more freely on about this issue, such as https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism and as a result I'll self-censor more here and speak more freely elsewhere.

Whatever my quibbles, FWIW, again, I don't see myself as transphobic. I neither hate, nor fear the TG. The DOI refers to the pursuit of happiness, and if TG'ism results in happiness for them, then good, they should pursue it. They have a right to it, and I feel free to defend that right. Indeed, skills in procedures in their therapies and surgeries might help humanity elsewhere. I don't have a problem with them reading books to children, and reading books to children is good for children. As a man, I'm largely indifferent to transwomen in women's sports (as I am of sports in general) and washrooms, and pretty well fear nothing from transmen as usurpers of my masculinity (such as it is). Pronouns? The nice thing about English is that the 1st and 2nd person pronouns are already gender neutral, and while I don't like the singular "they" (and its variants), it's because I like specificity in plurality and not because I oppose gender neutrality. Indeed, I occasionally use the neologism wt:thon. There are some transwomen whose videos I enjoy greatly, such as ContraPoints, the one in Philosophy Tube, and Jessie Gender (the one who talks a lot about Star Trek). Most critics of TG I see on YouTube have their own flaws. I'm not a fan of JK Rowling, though I never was into Harry Potter. As for Germaine Greer, while she had/has made her contributions over the decades, she isn't the last word on feminism (I don't think anyone is). If I "get fooled" by a TW thinking thon is a ciswoman, I don't get mad, I metaphorically tip my hat at thons effort, such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu-t3tqDyAY . Well done, Ms Cain!

To any TG reading this, I readily admit to much ignorance. Don't take my words to heart if they bother you: they are merely the thoughts of a pseudonymous member of a few internet sites such as Lemmy. I intend no offense and wish you well and success in your expression.

I suppose it depends what they play.

e.g. Fleetwood Mac's Tusk: https://vimeo.com/9545833#t=1m58s (somewhat cued)

I'm decreasing my posting on reddit because of Lemmy, and I resent reddit having about 10 of my accounts suspended (none of them troll, gaming the system, or otherwise bad accounts, and most I haven't used) for no reason.

I also want to get back to posting on wikis, such as my 2 Miraheze ones, Wikicommons, Wikipedia, Wikiversity wikidebates, and Wiktionary (mostly ELs to WP and eventually others), and RationalWiki.

rw:Reddit

wv:Category:Wikidebates

some I made in this post: "What is a woman?" https://lemmy.world/post/18941154

and a few of my comments there remain.

I was being a bit sarcastic about political correctness and transcritical—which on most of reddit and Lemmy seems to be transphobic.

​

I wouldn't regard this parodist as a woman.

I'm still a redittor,

and on reddit, I sometimes link to Lemmy.

It might be interesting how some in the list might deal with police. 😁🙂

Maybe she will join Lemmy.

https://lemmy.world/c/politicalmemes

I doubt her joining reddit will make it worse.

why reddit is better:

• reddit has polls (even if it's only up to 6 choices, and <8 days)

• reddit currently has more users, and thus more people to interact with

• I kinda like karma pints.

• my pro-Green Party/Jill Stein posts aren't visible to most redittors, and thus aren't as much downvoted, if at all

• I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo

​

why Lemmy is better:

• no ads, not run by a corporation

• It's federated.

• as one respondent already said ITT: more cozy

• my Vimeo, niconico, Archive, Wikicommons, and the very rare PeerTube posts look no worse than my YouTube posts—though with most posts, one can't see as many thumbnails.

​

why Miraheze is better:

• no ads, not run by a corporation

• I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo, Archive, niconico, Wikicommons, and Miraheze Commons (on a few of the wikis at least)

• Files in Wikicommons can be transcluded.

• I like the wiki format (at least their and WMF wiki formats) best.

​

why WMF projects are better:

• no ads, not run by a corporation

• Wikipedia is one of the most visited website on the internet; I enjoy categorizing files on Wikicommons; I like the structures of Wikiversity's wikidebates.

​

I'm also thinking of posting in RationalWiki next year.

I've been banned from one community here already.

that it's (currently) much less popular than reddit.

When I joined reddit, it was at least a year—probably 3 years—before I was banned from a subreddit—r/AskReddit. I've been here little more than a year and I've not only been banned from a notable community here, but when I asked to be unbanned—once, then letting perhaps a few weeks pass, then twice—I got no reply.

​

(and I'm not going to ask a 3rd time, but will simply create a [community-I-was-banned-from]2.)

which is kind of why you get 11 choices. 😁🙂

Yes, and despite the hyperventilating about crime in the US by America's political right, the murder rate has fallen these past few decades.

Nonetheless, there are risks.

You yourself might stride South Central LA, Bronx, Detroit, the nation's capital, et al, with confidence, and probably incur no harm, but unless you think any of these would increase the risk to your personal safety while you walk the 10 miles, maybe you want to choose one.

in preference to those listed?

The just-the-torso was in T-1.

In T-2, the terminator got beaten by the T-1000, including being impaled and losing an arm.

As they are randomly selected, the Americans could be proportionate to American demographics; but if you wish, we can make all of the Americans of East Asian descent, except for the short guys, who will be all white and of Northern European descent. Does that make you happy?

Do they have to follow my directions?

They want to get you through safely, if only for the $10 000.

I suppose if any of the 24 can't make it, they can stay behind.

But Musk can only be part of the leadership if he wins cage matches with 10 other randomly chosen billionaires, and beats 20 random women (each best of 3) in chess, 20 random women in poker, and 20 random women in billiards (8-ball, snooker, and carom: best of the 3).

I tend towards green.

1a. maintain the old one.

2b. buy before 2027.

3c. buy out-of-state.

4d. knowing how new electric appliances are expensive and flawed, maybe get restored ones.

5e. some solar water heaters use electricity only for the pump.

We might need professional thinkers to give comments.

FWIW, I use neither the word "versus" or "and" in the question. 😁🙂

(but I should touch up the body and add some commas)

Black people didn't initiate wars in Iraq, Vietnam, the Holocaust, or Gaza.

The GDP of American blacks probably exceeds many European countries.

Probably millions of blacks have Phds.

so noted. Thanks. 🙂
