If the plants could just tell me what they want that would be great

Well… that, and one nucleus splitting in half wouldn‘t start a chain reaction in a cucumber, and therefore not release a macroscopically noticeable amount of energy.

Three searches later and I understand that ship here does not refer to a transport vessel

WHAT „IN ALL CAPS“? I CA’NT HEAR YOU!!1

ANYWAYS, I KNOW MFER‘S FROM THE PACK USE CAPS TO BE BETTER UNDERSTOOD, AS SOME MEMBERS ARE HARD OF HEARING!

Haha, a reference to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!

In the (anarchist) union I‘m in, we have neighborly get-togethers every month, where we talk about our life & work & just eat some food together. But it‘s really nice, there are people of different ages & different professions, so a lot of different perspectives.

But we want not just a piece of the cake, but the whole damn bakery!

There‘s a reasonable proposal for „en“, so you can just use that

The german language is not bound by the laws of some institute, you can just use whatever you like!*

It is good to find some joy in troubling times. But let‘s not do 100% escapism. With the right peers, we could fight climate change and enjoy furry art at the same time!

I‘m not particularly hyped about synthetic fuels, but the application to low-carbon cement seems important to me, if this is possible at the scale required

That depends: In a certain way, we are already 4D creatures, with three spatial and one time dimension. However, in these contexts it‘s often useful to only refer to spatial dimensions. The 4D creature then has 4 spatial dimensions, and shares our time dimension.

But maybe its four spatial dimensions are our three spatial dimensions plus our time, and its time is something else completely? Then, by rotating you, it could place your head at a different time than your feet. But that also breaks causality and stuff.

Is this post about gastritis? What are we uniting about here?

In particular when referring to humans, the definition of sex is ambiguous, as is the term “biological male”. And I think this problem is intrinsic: Gender and sex are complicated (with many different markers which may be congruent for many people, but are not for trans and intersex people), and the usefulness of categories depends on context. For example, in a dating context, gender might be a useful category. In a medical context, sex is not a useful category for trans and intersex people: It’s not sufficient information, and sometimes ambiguous.

I agree that it would be nice to have other words than for XY/XX chromosomes (or small vs large gametes), this would make the language more exact and inclusive. However, I (and others) dislike the term “biological male”, because I think it exists only to create a category that equates cis men with trans women. Even if we agree on defining “biological male” as a person having XY chromosomes, in a sports context this is an unhelpful category because there are large differences between XY cis men and XY trans women. When there is apparently so much concern for fairness and safety, why not ask the big questions: How can we make sports inclusive, safe and fun for everyone (including trans people!), regardless of genetics? Are sex or gender useful categories to separate competition — or are there other, more useful markers? (And maybe even: Are international competitions as we have them now a desirable system?)

Hej, I‘ve seen quite a few comments using weird expressions to refer to trans women here, so to clarify, a trans woman is not:

• a scientific male (trans women are scientifically women)
• a biologically born male (Biologically born? Yes. Male? No.)
• a biological male (as, usually, biological markers such as anatomy, hormone levels, chromosomes and behavior in trans women are ambiguous)

A trans woman is:

• a woman (female) who was assigned male at birth
• often, but not always, a person who has gone through testosterone puberty, but identifies as female

Just use the words trans woman and cis woman, it‘s concise, correct and respectful. I‘m not saying that there are no differences between trans women and cis women, but simply that trans women are women. If you disagree with that, go watch ContraPoints or PhilosophyTube.

Consequently, the international cricket council should call it the elite cis women‘s game from now on, that would just be consistent.

This sounds great, heard about it in a documentary previously. Although people are not building sustainably now, even though there are sustainable ways of building available. I guess the political will is missing… And I fear Myocrete will not become economically viable in the time frame that we have for tackling the climate crisis.
