“Get Off My Lawn”: 35 Boomer Opinions That People Actually Agree With

I agree with you, Lost Panda, and your idea is good. But this should only be true for those sports, where the body physics are important. We could start mixing things up in areas, where strength, endurance or body shape doesn't influence the outcome.

I agree. There should be three tiers in sporting competitions; male, female and trans.

I'm not sure 'options' is a helpful word. Maybe 'possibilities' ?

All you transphobes make me crazy. This isn't a real issue, but if you want, we already have a method to make things "fair," and that method is to divide athletes up into height and weigh classes. If you're interested in fairness, do that. But it's not about fairness. You all still want to see the 6'4" basket ball player dunk on the 5'6" kid and the 300lb football player tackle the 160lb kid. What is is about is excluding trans people because you don't know any trans people

When you are on testosterone blocker, your bone density goes down, your muscle mass goes down, your strength goes down. Do more scientific research on real science journals, not blogs.

Yours, maybe, but not to elite female athletes. It also spills over into changing rooms and other female safe spaces.

It also illustrates the height of narrcism and hypocracy around this fabricated movement.

Fallon Fox, MMA....went from being a nobody at the bottom of the heap, to literally BREAKING A FEMALE OPPONENTS SKULL. Lia Thomas went from being ranked 554th in the 200m freestyle as a male, to being ranked somewhere between 5th and 1st depending on the event. If you actually bothered to do any research, you'd see that on average, men ranked somewhere between 200th and 600th in mens division(depending on the event) will still beat out the number one female RECORD, not current athlete, RECORD. Um....yeah, self identify was a thing, and there are numerous video's on youtube in which a man, attempting to highlight the absurdity, self identified as female and proceeded to set a new record. There's a reason that men and women don't compete in the same division, and it has nothing to do with discrimination, hatred or whatever dismissive nonsense word gets thrown around to silence sanity.

Delusional take. You see you cant just use wishful thinking to make into reality how roid abuse is bad but essentially the same thing with trans enhanced bodies is not. All because you wanna be the good activist highly moral savior. And get those pats on the back from a cult for spreading delusions. Go ask an actual trans person what goes on when they do transition... Go ask one just any random one if it makes sense for the ppl who just identity as trans and get into sports. You would be surprised... People in general are disgusted by the false savior complex mentality of those like you...

Fascists need to rally their base around hatreds of vulnerable minority groups.

yes, transistor radios in the sixties and seventies, boom boxes in the eighties, this has always been a thing

How dare you! With the cost of tickets being what they are, I’m going to finish d**n phone call.

The effect wanes over time, with about 1/3rd of people removing the app after one month, and over 2/3rd removing it after three months. The estimated attrition rate for loyalty app consumers is about 40% per month on average. The percentage of loss of sales from app-related reasons is negligible, literally does not register in any statistics in any meaningful way, while the positive impact of loyalty apps is estimated in +72% in purchase frequency and 15-20% higher average spending, that wildly surpass the cost of the discounts provided.

Quite the contrary. Most studies show how loyalty apps on average lead to higher purchase frequency, better customer retention and more returning customers. They are proven to have a positive impact on customer satisfaction because they allow tailored discounts, leading to the perception of overall lower prices and better deal accessibility even when it's not actually the case with the store in general.

Then... don't? There are alternatives, many of them completely free. If you don't think something is worth the price you pay for it then don't buy it.

Yes, and... Books still have their many benefits (including face-smacking lol), AND public libraries offer so much more than books!

That's me, every night.

"This is not a book to be set aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force" - Dorothy Parker, iirc

Where as i sleep a bit better knowing that i'm not perpetuating the continued strain on the dwindling resources of a dying planet because "mmm book smell" I'm an avid reader. For the past 35 years i've read between 1-4 books, every single week of my life. Before i moved to europe, my collection was in the thousands of physical books....but couldn't very well bring all of those on a 7000 mile trip. So they got donated....my collection rebuilt with ebooks, that live on an 20x80mm M.2 drive, in a file server that is accessible from anywhere on whatever device i have in my hand at any given moment.

Providing it electronically is not only more sanitary but they can update the prices whenever they want

Not everything....but ya know, can't pretend they didn't have a negative impact on...oh lets see, the housing market, the pointless d**g war, healthcare, mental health care (never forget, Reagan started his campaign to close state run mental health hospitals when he was governor, and part of his campaign rhetoric was his commitment to see that dream through on a national level. He did it, and yay , right?) Outsourcing of manufacturing began in the late 60's, knowledge services in the 1970's. Um...lets see, the environment! Carter put solar panels on the white house in the 70's, Ronald took them down as soon as he was elected, climate science was buried with the blessing of the government in pursuit of the almighty dollar....and then of course there's the fact that senior citizens, exert undue influence when it comes to elections! Yes, that's also a failure of the younger generations, but it still leaves the elderly baring more responsibility for electing fox news rejects to office.

Not everything, but there are reasonable arguments for how they are, at least in part, to blame for a lot of things.
