    So people with XY chromosomes, but have a vagina because of Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome are what?

    Maybe you should grow the fuck up and realize not everything falls into neat the fairy tale categories that you learned in your first or second year of school.

    So instead of putting your foot down and force those companies to treat customers right, just give in to the fear and let them pass costs on to consumers anyway.

    That's how news works. Fortnite is new. And something old is being done with the new thing. That new combination makes it new.

    Maybe you, like every other Slashdotter it seems, are confusing "new" with "never happened before" or "not conceivable before".

    Irrelevant. As people here have argued, they have to push for what they want. And this is them doing it. Don't like them playing by your rules? Tough shit. You don't get to complain when your ruleset backfires on you.

    Women are pushing for what they want. They're just doing it through the courts. If you don't play fair, why should they play fair? Play fair, and women wouldn't have to go to the courts.

  6. What the fuck are you on about?

    Whatever the case may be, you'd still want to test whether we can grow something on the moon without it having to be in the actual lunar soil. If we can't even make anything grow in the most friendly conditions in that environment, then we have no hope of anything else.

    Failing at growing something in the lunar soil will help nothing if we can't grow something at all.

  7. It's a shame Slashdot considers this "insightful".

    When you plan to colonize space, you have to test all aspects, step-by-step. Imagine if the experiment was trying to grow plants on the lunar surface. The test fails. What would that prove? First, you have to eliminate the possibility that it's impossible to grow stuff on the moon even if given the best conditions possible.

    When people here troubleshoot problems and debug code, do you all jump to the extreme case and test nothing else? Or do you test to eliminate conditions as you go along in order to pinpoint exactly where the problems are?

    It's amazing how self-styled nerds throw all their intelligence out the window on this site.

    Chinese are unashamed about their shallowness. We don't have a filter when it comes to judging someone by their looks, their bling, and other superficial qualities.

    As a Chinese person living in the West, it's a shame to see Westerners not appreciating the modern culture they have about accepting people for on the kind of person they are.

  13. Surely, the invisible hand of the free market will solve this. Why, let people do what they want and magically they won't leave things lying around and getting in people's way, because free market.

  14. Just get over your irrational fear of regulations. If you don't trust the government you voted for to come up with reasonable regulation, maybe it's time you started looking at yourselves and who you vote for and why you vote (or, don't, in both cases). It's your own fucking fault if you vote based on a candidate's likeability rather than realability.

    So the idea that makeup is something forced on women by the evil patriarchy is both silly and very demeaning to women, casting them as so weak that they can't even make up their minds.

    Says the incel who thinks women are just obeying their animal natures:

    The reason they do this is that the male of the species is inherently attracted to women during their most fertile years. That's just the effects of evolution.

    Memorisation is a problem as it does not impart an understanding of the language

    Absolutely NO ONE is saying "memorize and do nothing else". It's a key learning tool and helps with other things to gain an understanding of the language. You start of rambling about extreme inflexibility because of its tone dependence:

    However the problem with Mandarin is its extreme inflexibility. The language is tone dependent which makes it incompatible with the way non-Mandarin speakers talk.

    Then go off on a completely unrelated tangent about syntax:

    The key is in the flexibility of English, English is a language that allows for a totally foreign syntax to be used and yet remains intelligible to the native speaker.

    What has syntax got to do with tone dependence? Have you even learnt Chinese? Chinese grammar is very flexible as to be almost non-existent. In fact, Chinese grammar is very close to English because both languages developed through transmission and absorption of different cultures.

    That kind of malleability that gave rise to Indian English, Spanglish, Chinglish and many others meant that it was easy for a person from a completely different language to learn English because they didn't need to learn a strict syntax to speak it.

    You don't need a strict "syntax" to speak Chinese. What the fuck are you on about? It sounds like you're just making up nonsense instead of actually looking at reality.

    And if you bothered to study any history, you'd know that Chinese influenced the development of languages around it - Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese. For the longest time, the educated classes of those civilizations spoke and wrote Chinese just as well as any native Chinese person.

    And surprise surprise, do you know what group that the French, Spanish and Italian languages belong to? Romance languages. All of those languages was derived from Latin, which is even stricter than those languages. The supposed difficulty of Latin hasn't stopped it from being spread.

    It's a wonder why so many supposedly "nerds" on this site seems to actually hate learning anything and are deathly afraid of learning something that is "difficult" on the surface.

    I grew up with people who learned with the "rules" and they can't spell worth a damn. You need to learn both the rules, and put work in to memorize.

    Memorization is easy, especially if you start young. And that's exactly what this plan is about.

    Memorization isn't that bad either, but Western education simultaneously loves and hates memorization and have forgotten how to teach memorization, but still assess students based on what amounts to memorization.

  21. I don't think that's true. I think they pretend not to believe, but they excuse themselves internally. They're allowed to have subsidies because they naturally deserve it, but everyone else must play by the rules.

  22. But you just argued my point. If they did believe in free market, they would argue against fossil fuel subsidies. But they support them because they know free markets don't actually work.

  23. Seems like conservatives don't actually have faith in the free market. If they really believed electric will fail, why intervene?
