  • OK, so hold up. This isn’t testing if a woman is trans. This test also disqualifies cis women who have genetic conditions that give them masculine physical traits. This article gives examples of women’s gold medalists who are cis but would now be disqualified.

    We might have to replace the men’s and women’s categories with “open” and “two X chromosomes”. Cis and trans people of all genders might be surprised to find whether or not they qualify for the “two X chromosomes” category. Particularly effeminate cis men might qualify for “two X chromosomes”. This actually seems like a fair way to level the playing field, accomplishing what the current men’s and women’s divisions try to do.

    I am a little worried about the idea of disqualifying athletes for having beneficial genes. This could have implications beyond women’s sports, like being banned from basketball for being too tall.






  • There’s more evidence for Trump being the literal Antichrist than there is for him following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

    I asked Kagi’s LLM AI about this and here’s what it said:

    Whether there is more evidence for Donald Trump being the Antichrist than for him following the teachings of Jesus Christ is subjective and depends on the interpretation of biblical texts and the definition of “evidence.”

    Some argue that Trump fulfills biblical descriptions of the Antichrist, pointing to his political actions and public image 12. Others, including some Christians, dismiss the idea that Trump is the Antichrist 34. Some believe the Antichrist will appear as a supporter of Christianity 2. Conversely, some equate the unjust persecution of Trump to the crucifixion of Christ 5.

    The first letter of John refers to “many antichrists” 6. Some sources suggest that the idea of Trump as the Antichrist became more prominent during his presidency 7.







  • This is true. I’m sure Balatro addicts have pored over every line of LUA script in the game, and they would have spotted anything resembling a pity system. Balatro is unusual for not fudging the probabilities at all, and I just had to wrap my head around that. That one time my lucky cards triggered 7 times and didn’t give me any +mult and I died… that was just 7 honest misses in a row, which had a 21% chance of happening.

    I actually went back and tried Plasma Deck yesterday, Playing like I have a brain, I finally beat White Stake, made it to ante 12, and got the achievement for 100,000k in a single hand. I kept my options open and adapted to the upcoming boss blinds like I should, and I had a good run.


  • Always check the boss blind in the first shop of an ante so you can prep.

    That one is huge. Some boss blinds can wreck you if you don’t see them coming. If you spot a problematic boss blind early, you can use a shop or two to find a way to survive it. Be flexible.
