Without the sun, we never would have existed. Can something that didn't exist be dead? I think no. Silly sun, narcissistic asshole and bad at logic.

Sports at the top level already are dominated by rich kids. Wealth is actually more likely to lead to athletic advantages than being a trans woman.

Hmm, this link might be dead. Search for "Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport - Transgender Women Athletes and Elite Sport" and it should pop up.

As opposed to your source which is..... "Trust me bro."

They asked for your source, not why theirs was wrong. You still haven't provided one.

No, I want you to provide a source that says Go was invented in Korea. I also checked Wikipedia, and several other sites about Go, because you made me curious, since I had always heard it was invented in China.

Everything I've seen has said it was invented in China.

It is now, but you used to get a free one each day, iirc. So while this is definitely cringe, there's a chance, depending on when it happened (if it happened), that it's slightly less than max cringe.

Edit: I looked closer, this is apparently from 2016, you still got free super likes back then.

I mentioned this further down the thread, but Scrubs is full of micro aggressions.

I mean, pretty much the very first joke in the series is JD asking Turk if he's allowed to say the N word.

There's an episode where the theme is whether Turk is black.

As for trans-specific problems, Todd advertises his website with the T slur in it on his T-shirt one episode.

He's also a prime example of bi-erasure as when he "comes out," nobody says bi the whole episode, and it's like the whole cast can't conceive of someone liking both men and women. Not to mention the bi stereotype that we're all sexual deviants and overly promiscuous.

Frankly, I could go on for a while. Scrubs was fine for its time. It does not hold up well. Shame because it was my favorite show for a very long time. But I'm glad society has grown.
