Wow, the PO Box analogy is the best, most simple way I've ever seen anyone explain 2FA. Thanks, I'm stealing that for when I need to explain it to my tech-illiterate family members for the umpteen millionth time :')

Honestly, I am unoffended by that dynamic in my house. Our difference isn't as great - my 5'5" to his 6'2" - but I just laugh and tell him to move when he tries to scrunch down to get things, and I sigh loudly and stare at him while stretching my arm up if I don't want to climb for high things. We're goofy like that, though, neither of us take it seriously and he teases me right back.

Holy shit

I knew the dude was a cunt but fucking wow

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm talking about the change in the regulating body now allowing the teams, or at least the countries sponsoring them, to make their own choices. It used to be that the regulating body enforced skimpy bikinis, and now they don't. That's progress. Individual teams using that choice to be shitty in no way undermines that progress. Less people being forced to do or wear things against their will, better judgement, or desire is always better, even if there's still progress to be made.

And this is tangential and I don't really wish to get into an argument over it, but I have to point out that the logic of "well they knew what they were getting into so they by default consented to it" is really fucking terrible logic. Here, make the choice between being objectified so you can continue competing, or give up your dreams to maintain your dignity! What the fuck kind of choice is that? That's coercion hiding behind choice. That's one step below "have sex with me or you're fired". Fuck that noise.

The commenter I replied to said, "when there isn't a choice, it's repression". This goes the other way, too. When the volleyball teams didn't have the choice to cover up because the regulating body enforced "less than 10cm coverage" - which is a fact, this is a thing they did until recently - it's just as bad. No woman should be forced to wear more or less clothing than they want. My comment was specifically in reference to the change in rules by the governing body allowing teams to come to their own decisions regarding appropriate uniform. Will some teams enforce regulations that are also bad? Yes, but progress is progress. A smaller group of people being forced to follow shitty regulations is always better than a huge group of people being forced to follow shitty regulations. That individual teams do not allow choice in no way undermines the progress of the regulating body.

Ok but like, how is it any better to force them to wear skimpy bikinis they don't want to wear? Is it not better for the regulating body to offer choice to everyone, rather than enforcing coverage or non-coverage that will inevitably upset someone?

Wow, I didn't realize my hopes could be so quickly dashed with just two words.

Is this some kind of couch fucking joke I'm not hillbilly enough to get?

At the moment, it's moreso that these are already existing medical dispensaries that have been cleared to sell recreational starting tomorrow, which is almost all of them (we don't have that many in the state right now, anyway - I think around 130 at this point, many very recently opened). They're still, as far as I'm aware, setting up the process for a rec-only selling license, so it remains to be seen how quickly we will reach saturation. Prices will remain high here for quite some time, though, I think - probably until it's federally legal to sell cannabis across state lines. Our growing system is kind of shit and I don't see that changing soon.

Peanut butter honey toast is the best goddamn snack

I am literally eating it right now as I type this and could not be happier

I think it's something to do with the fact that they're accessing a lemmy community from Mastodon.

Although even in single player, what's the point of gaming, if you don't get to discuss it with most of your friends

... The point is to... play... the game? I have exactly two current games that I play or talk about with friends. The others are all single player games that I play solely for the enjoyment of playing the damn game. Like, what do you mean, what's the point? This view is utterly baffling, just play it?
