  • I will maybe get destroyed for this comment, as I have in the past, but oh well…

    The trans in sports topic shouldn’t be considered this binary issue that defines your political alignment or morals.

    It undeniably seems more complicated than some make it out to be. Use silly over exaggerated examples: if a man becomes a steroid popping powerlifter professionally, then decides to transition to being a woman, should he then be allowed to compete in women’s powerlifting competitions? Over exaggeration, but there’s a point isn’t there? I don’t really know, but it seems like in this thought experiment, she would easily beat out all other competitors. Insert any other sport where men dominate over women due to biology. Is this a bad way to think? If so, why? You made the example in swimming.

    I will forever support and vote politically to protect all minorities, including the LGBT community. I will always reject bigotry. But saying this is not a complicated issue, just doesn’t seem right. And questioning it in this way, doesn’t make me a bigot. Let trans athletes compete in any sport? Categorize them differently? I don’t know, Im not sure it’s that easy.

    At the end of the day, this stuff really is a distraction that creates infighting to shift focus away from more important things. The oligarchy likes this distraction because we’re not talking about how they’re exploiting all of us. This is the kind of thing where I say “I honestly don’t know, but why aren’t we taxing the billionaires?”





  • I’m one of the moderate fanboys and I love gpt5 and not having to switch models anymore, compared to before. So far, it’s pretty good about when to think longer and when to give quick answers.

    That being said, I don’t use it for anything other than STEM concepts and coding tasks. I have no idea what the complainers use it for.

    I did hear that people thought it had less “personality”. Funny, I did notice it got more concise in its answers. This was an improvement for me, but I’m using it as a tool, not a friend or therapist or something. To each their own.
