Should I be banned from women's sports? I mean I've been through a male puberty which according to your criteria would seem to make it an immediate no, but I'm also 5'6 and for various reasons likely have a lower than average bone density. Would I be competing with an 'unfair advantage'?

Then do we ban cis women who are tall or have a high bone density from women's sports? Do we allow trans women who don't have these advantages? Why single out trans people? If you judge that certain advantages are too much, why ban all trans people specifically?

I mean they just defederated from two of the biggest instances (including lemmy.world) and have the largest list of blocked instances of any instance

ITT: Awful linguistics takes

People writing of instead of 've is pretty well attested before Siri even existed so I doubt that has much to do with it

SearXNG personally

The other thing is that Discord search is god awful. There's absolutely no way to modify your search for better results, whether that's to require something to appear exactly as typed, or to exclude certain results, it's just you put in the words and hope you get the right thing. Sometimes that works out, but sometimes it will make the dumbest connections and render your search useless unless you want to trawl through pages of crap you don't want. Like I've found out that Discord considers the words universal, universe, and university to be the same...

Is it just me that has literally never heard anyone bring up the colour of bubbles irl? Like I've seen people talk about it on the internet from time to time but never in the real world.

To be honest I haven't played either

Hate it with a passion

Honestly I kind of like the long matches, but it definitely negatively affects how often I play. For Dota especially it feels like if I'm going to queue I have to be prepared for an hour long game, and while sometimes I actually like that, I'm not always feeling it.

 

So I found a book I'm looking to read on the Internet Archive after failing to find a PDF on libgen or anywhere else on a quick search, but while I could read it on the site, I find the interface annoying and I'd rather just use my PDF reader, but the book can only be borrowed for an hour at a time which means no use of the built-in download function. Is there a way to easily get a PDF of it by some other means?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I did try to find an answer but I ended up getting a lot of Reddit results on what ended up being privated subs so I figured I'd ask here.
