Trans athletes have definitely won some competitions. The news were sometimes difficult to miss.

But that's really the thing. Sometimes it feels like there's no problem before a trans athlete wins. Like how many competitions have transgender athletes taken part in throughout modern history? Thousands? And how many have they won? A handful?

I mean, almost nobody talked about this before the inevitable happened: A trans person happened to win a competition and it gained media attention. And when we consider that the Olympics has allowed transgender athletes to compete within their gender since 2003...

I don't use any Meta products and I've deleted any accounts I had on them. This includes the ones mentioned, Oculus (I have the CV1 headset but wouldn't be able to use it that easily anyway due to switching to Linux) and WhatsApp.

To think humans cause such pain to other sentient beings due to hubris...

So am I understanding you correctly? When I develop open-source software and put it on GitHub, the license, which GitHub offers you to set, is actually irrelevant because since the code is on a public website, it's somehow automatically public domain?

Thank you for your efforts, Peter Poopshit.

I actually don't know since I ran it before the API changes. It may be limited now that API usage is limited, depending on how it works.

Be sure to edit them before deletion in case it gets restored. There's been reports of that happening.

You're correct! Katakana is indeed used to write loan words. There are of course other use cases like names of animal species (e.g. you can write 狐 or キツネ for fox, and 兎 or ウサギ for rabbit) but generally that's where you see them.

And yes, kanji was used prior to kana and the earlier versions of kana looked a lot more like kanji, but just got simplified as time went on.

Oh, and the word you were looking for is "radicals" for the components. c:

I think the point here is that anything that can be indexed by search engines or archival crawlers would be better, so not Matrix either. Forums, for example. Like what happens if the Discord community gets deleted due to whatever circumstances? All of that gathered knowledge will be just gone with no way to recover or search for it.

I've been getting back into the groove of making artwork, which is all nice. My goal is to start a webcomic this year. c:

In other domains, what started out as a joke is becoming a full mod for Terraria: One that adds more cactus weapons apart from the basic cactus sword. :D I've never made mods for Terraria so it's a simultaneous learning process.
