Many people do, but not everyone. Religious people especially tend not to cohabitate before marriage, as that would be considered a sin.

No, that's the point of a dog whistle. Those in the know understand, and they don't want outsiders to notice. One of the best ways to combat these people is to let everyone in on their "secret" codes, so we can see exactly who is putting their hat in with the Nazis.

No, he was saying that she "put out a statement" about her racial identity.

He dodged every question and shoehorned in "the border" for all of them.

That's the way we do things lads, we're making shit up as we wish!

Every one of those companies would probably be doing better without his involvement, so that might be a positive for them...

Probably not an issue with the bot itself, but just FYI, it appears the spoiler tags don't work on Boost.

It's Zelensky, but they were confused because "Z" has become a symbol of the Russian forces invading Ukraine.

"It remains unclear what standards Khelif and Lin Yu Ting of Taiwan failed last year to lead to the disqualifications.

The IOC, which is overseeing the boxing competition in Paris, does not test for gender, and there never has been evidence that either Khelif or Lin had XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone. They have competed for years, including at the Tokyo Olympics and several world championships."

So, none of that is true. She may have high testosterone (which isn't even confirmed), but none of what you said follows. That isn't even how that works.

There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it's basically because they don't see her as attractive, and that's definitely a major component of it.

What it comes down to is that they're so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the GOP still tries to run Trump even after he's dead.

 

Garak asserts to Bashir that the Repetitive Epic is the finest form of Cardassian literature. I was wondering, is there any real-life literature that could be considered a "repetitive epic" in the same vein as "The Neverending Sacrifice?"

 

It has occurred to me that Vulcan must have some form of sex industry to handle those going through Pon Farr who aren't currently married or otherwise involved. Otherwise, they'd have constant issues with violence from those suffering the "blood fever" whose spouse was far away, or had died, or for some other reason had no one to mate with.

Given Vulcan attitudes towards sex, it's probably kept out of sight, and is only "officially" available to those experiencing their "Seven Year Itch," but it has to exist, right?

 

In Voyager's transporter room, there is an alcove on the side, and embedded in the wall is what appears to be a small transporter pad. I don't believe anyone is ever shown interacting with this, so there's no definitive explanation for what it is. Assuming it is what it appears to be, what would be the purpose of a very small transporter like this?
