I was honestly floored by this move. Didn’t realize they could do something to make me love Terraria more

God I would kill for 2 real friends

I know two things. I really like to be right about stuff and if we’re going by the usual tests a majority of people are going to be near average intelligence.

So I’m most likely average and real smug about it.

I’m going door to door trying to gather pledges from all technology subscribers.

Will YOU downvote all Musk posts in this community until people post them in their proper place (c/enoughmuskspam)?

Is every vaguely prominent leader in Russia dumb as rocks? How did he think he’d get away with an attempted coup while leaving the dictator in power?

Did he expect to get points for being bad at a coup?

Now this is unpopular.

May god have mercy on your soul. LotR memes was one of the first communities to migrate over.

Not in humans, no! While in some animals sex determination is purely about X dosage (Drosophila), in humans the Y chromosome is actually sex-determining. In females the second X chromosome actually gets inactivated as a means of gene dosage compensation.

Not to nitpick but to me the title of this post is implying that XXY individuals are born female. Generally they’re born male.

What the comment is referring to is likely Swyer Syndrome, where the individual has an XY configuration but a dysfunctional gene in the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome. This means the embryo develops female anatomy and the resulting children tend to identify female, but they lack functional gonadal tissue. It’s estimated to occur at a rate of about 1 in a 100,000 females.

By the by, treatment for these individuals usually involves removing the dysfunctional gonadal tissue as it often becomes cancerous (which often gets misunderstood as “gender reassignment surgery”) and supplemental hormone replacement therapy. They would be affected too by any bans on hormone administration to kids often connected with trans people. One of the reasons why blanket bans should be a no-go regardless of how you feel about any other trans issue.

When you think about it, the difference between curling 5 lbs and 40 lbs is only 35 lbs.

You’re only one slightly malnourished toddler’s weight away.

While I totally agree that climate is a worldwide topic, not sure what you think the options are here…

If the majority of users submit and upvote US based stories, that’s what will appear in the community.

If the majority upvote more global stories, that’s what’ll appear.

The only other option I can think of would be adding a rule prohibiting US stories, but that feels like it’s going too far the other direction, no?

Oh god, the Nintendo DSi is actually retro now, huh
