When you have 17 planners with 8 pages written in and constant sense of panic over a workload that is never done it's def beyond the "lol I can't pay attention sometimes too" crowd. Some people just don't know what it's actually like to be neurospicy.

Woman here, and genuinely, I don't know what's right.

I can recognise that m>f after puberty gives someone a strength advantage but at the same time it's hard enough having to transition without feeling even more marginalised by being banned from sports.

Maybe there needs to be just a women's and open category to recognise the strength handicap that cis women have for certain activities and allow anyone to compete in open, but then there's the challenge of prize money, viewers etc etc between the two that also needs to be managed appropriately.

At the end of the day, someone isn't going to be happy and for that there is no good solution, but we need to be doing our best for cis and trans athletes to make sure everyone has a chance to compete in the sports they live.

Chess? Banning trans competitors is fucking idiotic and the chess federation can fuck right off with that implied notion of women being less capable.

Absolutely. Menstrual blood is its own beast altogether. I often found that the mucus heavy days was a real blocker to actual absorbsion and often there would be a still dry but slimy tampon removed at some points.

100%

There's a reason that the judicial system is beyond reasonable doubt and it's to minimise the number of innocent people convicted.

Countless innocent people are nailed to the wall by the court of opinion because they "look guilty" and it's awful.

If I could fit five days work into two days and have it fly under the radar, I'd do exactly the same.

If you stop trying to vocalise the words in your head you can really break away from the the time limit and just fly through text.

This is what I do when I'm reading academic papers for writing reports to see if the content is what I need.

Takes a few seconds to scan it, take the understanding and made a decision on if it's worthwhile or not.

There's also websites where you can drop text and it will train you to read this way.

I'm the opposite end of that bell curve. Trained relentlessly for years and my 10k is still almost an hour and 20.

Is this because they got slagged off by CGP Gray?

Try the Bobiverse books by Dennis E Taylor. They were my next step after the Martian and we're pretty good.

I also tried out a nice series by Nick Jones following a time traveller called Joseph Bridgeman which was decent, though it does deviate from alone in space to more loner.

During the Reddit protest I got a professional certification. It's amazing what you can do when you're not doomscrolling...
