The problem is people are stupid, especially when it comes to the internet, and believe everything they read without actually checking to see if it's true or not.

Good rule of thumb: If you see something that seems too ridiculous to be true from either a verified account on Twitter or your crazy uncle on Facebook, it’s probably worth taking a step back

Both sides are so split that many things seem too ridiculous to be true on either side.

Generally you can't even compete if your numbers test out of the range of normalcy in just about any sporting event. I'm all for anyone and everyone having a platform to compete, but when you have a biological phenomenon like this, it becomes extremely tricky and you have to take into account the safety of fighters. The fact they are allowing this person to compete without disclosing any results is shady as hell and if anything it puts unnecessary criticism on the person who may simply just want to compete.

Allowing people like Fallon Fox or Lia Thomas to perform is on a completely different level of horse shit though. Especially Fallon Fox. Women are just biologically not bred for fighting at all and having Fallon Fox come in with male bone density and strength and literally cracking skulls is unacceptable.

Fair enough. I know fuckall about sports, so I'll leave that part of the debate to those that do. I still doubt it gave her much of an advantage based on what I've read of her previous fights.

And I agree. The genetics aspect is much more of an issue in that case. I'm all for trans rights, but there are some things that just don't translate well in that regard(sports being an obvious one).

Hence why you need to actually check shit instead of believing it. I can't tell you how many times I've been told some shit that sounded true, and I could totally believe, turned out to be a misquote, something taken out of context, or just a flat out lie. Doesn't matter who says what, I check it. Bunch of fucking idiots out there. Everyone has access to all the world's knowledge at their fingertips, but go ahead and believe what your cousin's nephew's friend said without verifying it.

Yeah. I mentioned this days ago, but I think most people generally agree about these things. The political divide really lies on the intent.

I’ll continue to insist that this place should not be where we go to bitch about the latest political culture battle when you can get that literally anywhere else including offline. Too much negativity.

I'd say true for the most part. But there is definitely a gray area of misinformation that is unverifiable and only allows room for speculation. If you're honest with yourself when going about absorbing information and using your best judgment without bias, that's all you can do.

[Slaughterhouserock]

The negativity is why I usually avoid politics. Just a bunch of he said/she said bullshit mostly.

I don't like the negativity politics brings. But we could all collectively change the dynamic somehow regarding negativity in politics by handling ourselves in a manner that puts typical political disagreements to shame.

Let’s aim for something easier first, like world peace.

is anyone interested at all to see alien: romulus?

[Slaughterhouserock]

is anyone interested at all to see alien: romulus?

I'll watch it, but I'm not particularly interested in it.

[Tiggnutz]

is anyone interested at all to see alien: romulus?

First time I saw one of those special popcorn buckets and really wanted it. I'm going more for that than the film. I've never seen an Alien film in theaters now that I think about it.

i think i saw resurrection in theaters, but i'm pretty sure that's the only one. and it's the worst of the original series.

[Tiggnutz]

I must have it

[zombie]

you may want to go before you see the movie, if those buckets are as popular as they were with deadpool. rhey may be sold out before you watch because people will go specifically to buy the buckets and not to watch the film.

[Tiggnutz]

That's good advice

[zombie]

why was i never informed that nathan fillion was cast to play guy gardner green lantern in next year's superman? booo to all of you! boooo!

[Jason]

I don't know who he is.
