afraid_of_zombies, in What software do you wish that existed?

I want an app that makes people pass a sobriety test before calling/sms certain phone numbers.

I call it “don’t message them”

Phoonzang,

Or whenever using your credit card online. The pro version would be that it turns off functions successively depending on your BAC. At some point the only unblocked function would be to call a cab to go home.

rtxn, in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

Writing my letter of resignation, developing a Blender extension, and watching a streamer play Control (specifically the ashtray maze) for the first time.

TropicalDingdong, in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

Trying to get some code completed so I can justify flying to big island to hang out with friends tomorrow.

hitmyspot, in Seeking Perspectives: Trans Athletes in Women's Sports

There are a bunch of studies that show that there is minor map advantage on most (not all) measures for trans athletes a few years after transitioning with hormone therapy. Some trans people never go through puberty of their assigned sex at birth.

I used to be of the view that it wasn’t fair for someone who was amab to have an innate advantage over someone else who wasn’t. However, we should also consider where they would compete. Is it fair to have trans women compete against cis males who now have a similar, but more profound, advantage over them? Or are they now just excluded?

I’ve come to believe that all sports at the elite level are dominated by those with genetic and physical advantage, usually by luck. Trans people also for in that category, but it’s easier to pinpoint the why for them. All the rules of sport are arbitrary, anyway.

So, after consideration, I think we should have sports open to all that are (identify) as a particular gender. For sports that already categorise by physicality (boxing, weightlifting etc), I don’t think it would be problematic to consider their physicality too. For many sports there is no advantage anyway, after transition. And even if there was, isn’t the point of sports to have fun, to enjoy oneself and have pleasure. Only a rare few people compete at elite levels. Excluding trans people hurts far more.people than it helps.

Nihilism. And drugs I guess

Chakravanti,

Regular consumption via “addiction” or therapudic instables of irregular incidences you document changes and benefits of?

Bahnd, (edited )

Pretty much this…

Nietzsche, Camus, and a whole bucket of popcorn to watch it all.

doggle, in So is the US slipping into Civil War?

Living in Georgia rn, I’m pretty confident the state won’t be seriously attempting succession in the near future. The political will simply isn’t there.

It’s interesting that the fairly small group who want (or think they want) succession are forced to share a political party with the country’s most nationalist. I suspect any serious attempt at it now would further divide the Republican party.

Not the important part of this.

Ainiriand, in How do you cope with the state of the world today?

I just don’t read news and I try to focus on my own life instead. Try to put social media to minimum/

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, in What are some interesting thinking skills or strategies you've picked up from programming (or anywhere else, but try to stick to programming for now)

I’m good at breaking down problems into small chunks and not getting overwhelmed by a big project. Do I have the motivation to finish these tasks? That’s a different question.

Psythik, (edited ) in What is a niche interest or hobby you'd personally like to see represented more on Lemmy

Individual communities for every car in existence like reddit has. And an active bitcoin community that isn’t just a bot mirroring posts from reddit.

Edit: and a community for DJs.

rishado, in How do you cope with the state of the world today?

Honestly I dissociate, focus on myself and people I love, the world is a lost cause - probably won’t have kids

GBU_28, (edited ) in How do you cope with the state of the world today?

Log off. It’s that simple. Your stress will reduce linearly with reduced screen time

I was listening to a podcast about the scientists responsible of monitoring potentially world threatening asteroid collisions with the earth. They are constantly reminded that the whole world could blink out of existence in an instant. But they continue their job because that’s the part they have control over. I worry of the things I can change. Wether they being small or big and wether my impact is small or big. If I have no control over, I acknowledge it and move on.
