The worst is when a language formally has a disambiguating word but then speakers all just decide to not use it.

When talking about a group but only one individual of the group is present you can still use y'all.

My feed is currently like 2 people, plus a bunch of dead accounts from people who dipped their toe in but didn’t stay.

For me a lot of those toe dippers were subsequently found to have settled on BlueSky.

Thank you! I've been asking that question for years and you're the first to provide an example. Point conceded.

Not asshole.

There is no such subtype.

Why are you expanding the age range beyond what you quoted? Seems like a bad faith tactic. Try harder next time.

At an incidence of 2 for every 100,000 getting surgery, I have to assume that between the individual, their parents, and the doctors involved there was some concerning factor that pushed the surgical intervention into something more than simply treating the emotional/mental body dysmorphia. And I'm not so pompous as to try and inject myself into that process on their behalf.

a bunch of people didn’t show up and fucking vote .. and Bernie lost

It's obnoxious how often that's why the conservatives win.

The other candidates gradually stepped aside to allow Hillary to run. The big one being Joe Biden not running as it was her “turn”, allegedly after the deal between the Clintons and the Obamas.

Apologies, but I can't tell if you're trying to supplement my point or pose an answer to my question.

Which state's primary votes did the DNC alter or override to give Hillary the nomination by popular vote instead for Bernie?

Society ain't happy with plastic surgeries performed on children

Which statistically isn't a thing that's happening and I've never heard anyone argue in favor of.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/gender-affirming-surgeries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/

The study found no gender-affirming surgeries performed on TGD youth ages 12 and younger in 2019. This was expected, the researchers said, as current international guidelines do not suggest any medical or surgical intervention for TGD individuals prior to puberty. For teens ages 15 to 17 and adults ages 18 and older, the rate of undergoing gender-affirming surgery with a TGD-related diagnosis was 2.1 per 100,000 and 5.3 per 100,000, respectively. A majority of these surgeries were chest surgeries.

Houston rugby fans are in for a treat as the Houston SaberCats and CW39 Houston have announced a new partnership to bring Major League Rugby games to local TV screens. This collaboration will broadcast 14 home and away games, starting with the SaberCats’ 2025 season in February.

 

Three rounds of selections were undertaken with a total of 22 players selected. All 11 returning franchises took part though Chicago did not select any players, trading their first-round pick to Anthem. ARC was also acquired the second overall pick in a three-team exchange that saw LA receiving salary cap considerations and DC’s first round pick, and further cap considerations going to Old Glory.

 

You love to see it.

Data obtained by Just Security sheds light on exactly why Richer's filing concerned Arizona Republicans so much.

Overall, registered Republicans represented 37 percent of the voters affected by the glitch, while registered Democrats made up 27 percent and unaffiliated voters represented 29 percent.

Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes tells Just Security that the GOP's reversal on this issue shows how little they care for actually maintaining election integrity.

The Dallas Jackals have informed the league that they will not participate in the 2025 competition. They are continuing to evaluate a controlling interest transfer which will not be complete in time for them to plan for and compete in 2025. MLR will continue to work with Dallas leadership on transition plans in the days and weeks ahead.

Our focus is on the team, its players and planning for another successful MLR season in 2025. An announcement about the player dispersal process will be shared soon.

 

I've had some individuals that are involved contact me, or vetting rumors right now. So it's not exactly written in stone, but all indications are that Dallas will not be coming back in MLR 2025. They're trying to figure out that situation now.
...
From what I gather, this was just a, it was a bad situation in that the owners of the MLR were careful about accepting a new ownership group. And this ownership group in Dallas ticks all the boxes. They have cash, they have wealth, they're in sports, they're in sports entertainment, and then they just got tired of it.

DALLAS – Major League Rugby, the premier professional rugby league in North America, announced the results of the 2024 MLR College Draft on The Rugby Network on Wednesday.

The draft consisted of three rounds of 12 picks each, totaling 36 selections by MLR franchises.

The 2024 MLR College Draft was the fifth in league history, featuring the deepest talent pool to date. St. Mary’s College of California saw six players drafted, the most in this year’s draft, while a total of 22 schools were represented with selections.

Anthem RC selected Erich Storti with the first pick. Storti joins Rick Rose (Miami, 2023), Sam Golla (Dallas, 2022), Eric Naposki (Dallas, 2021), and Conner Mooneyham (Dallas, 2020) as the first overall players to be taken in the draft.

MLR uses a “Draft and Follow” approach where rights to drafted players will be assigned following the MLR College Draft. Teams may activate those rights at any point until the mid-point of the next competitive MLR season after the player is eligible to play in the MLR. Drafting teams may sign those players or trade player rights with other MLR teams.

The league hosted its first MLR College draft in 2020, which saw 24 players selected across two rounds, but commensurate with the growth of the league, the draft has grown into its current form today.

Lately when I forced to login to FaceBook they will sent a WhatsApp message to my phone number, even though I don't use WhatsApp. I'd like to see if there is really an account with my number. I tried going to the web client but it seems to be requiring to pair with a device app.

Just came across this flautist using guitar pedals and it's pretty freaking awesome.

I tried to post the MP4 itself but I'm getting a "too many frames" error and can't seem to find any guidelines on video file upload limits.
