Wernher Von Braun in programming socks is something I wasn't anticipating to think about today.

Any trans person trying to get to the states right now needs to strongly reconsider.

Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?

[kamenlady@lemmy.world]

Don't be shy, it's time to start shaking smh your head out loud.

[theneverfox@pawb.social]

You want us to name all 10?

[cocopanda@futurology.today]

Name any 10 female athletes in College athletics. If you are so concerned with Trans athletes. Thats what I mean. Not saying you don’t respect trans athletes.

[protoknuckles@lemmy.world]

Yeah, sadly. I love this country, but people have to be safe.

Reminder: not only was Rubio the first Trump 2.0/Musk 1.0 nominee to be confirmed, it was UNANIMOUS WITH NO ABSTENTIONS 🤬

I wonder how this could work in practice if someone has an updated passport. It's almost like it's a catch-22, if you put your birth sex on the visa application, it's denied because it doesn't match your passport, but if you put the sex from your passport, you are banned for fraud.

But what about Hitler in a Playboy bunny suit?

I feel like I've stagnated career/life wise enough that I'm not particularly desirable enough to get that kind of offer though. I don't speak a second language and my skill set is at best higher tier tech support

[theneverfox@pawb.social]

I was joking that there's literally about 10 trans athletes in college sports out of a couple hundred thousand total, it's crazy how much of a non-issue it really is

[woodscientist@sh.itjust.works]

Any trans person trying to immigrate to the US right now should be rejected on psychological grounds. Not that being trans makes one mentally deficient. But being a trans person trying to come IN to the US right now really suggests some serious judgment or mental health issues.

[yetanotheruser@discuss.tchncs.de]

I'm genuinely confused how college sports is so big in the US.

Who in their right mind besides parents and maybe friends gives a flying fuck about sports tournaments of amateur young adults?

[legopika@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I'm sure that's intended unfortunately

[fredselfish@lemmy.world]

You claiming even Bernie Sanders confirmed him?

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

He's by far the most qualified candidate of his picks. Which shows just how awful the rest are.

[knightly@pawb.social]

Apply anyway, the worst they can say is no.

[greenknight23@lemmy.world]

I get it, it's tasteless, but I get it.

[kautau@lemmy.world]

Yes
