Her trans daughter made the volleyball team. Then an armed officer showed up.
  • I think you put it quite well, and did so in a respectful way.

    The way I put it is to the effect of who's "rights" are more important - the one who identified as a girl, or the entire team who is?

    I've been hauled over the coals in here and reddit because I believe we need to take a step back and consider if we allow it, and when we do (because we should) how can we do so in a fair way? We had this issue back with the LGBTQ rights, and before then with racial integration, and women integration, and looking back they were and should have always been clear cut "yes". The issue with this one is that its not just the individual freedom to play, but what advantages would they have above the other players and their freedom to play in a fair competition? Does what I feel and think I am, and the right to do so, overrule what you are?

  • Israel says it killed another high-ranking Hezbollah official. Here’s the latest
  • Their attacks are disproportionate, cause significant civilian casualties and while I've said that Israel can defend itself and not everything they do is a war crime, I've got nothing to defend these recent ones (target apt blocks, different story with the pagers).

    Saying that, shit they are going through their targets quickly. Don't even think the US managed this with the taliban.

  • Auckland regional fuel tax looking to be scrapped

    Look, we need the money and fuel is bloody expensive, but I believe we are adding another problem to the next generation and regressing further.

    The tax sucks, but the benefits were worth it.

    does this new years feel subdued to anyone else, even after taking the weather into account?

    Like the whole country is just exhausted

    opinion: The NZ dream and culture has made us fall behind as a country.

    Don't know the best way to put this but ill try.

    As much as I love this country, we have fallen soo far behind. I don't want to get to political, but I think Labour tried to fix it in one way, now Nat will try the other. Neither will work in the time they have.

    We always prided ourselves on our past accomplishments- women vote, Hillary, Rutherford, Nuclear Free, Maori Batallion - and what we are as a country - massive dairy producers, amazing tourist destination, friendly people. But we have dwelled on it too long and got complacent. Our desire to repeat our past success has made us miss opportunities that require years of investment, and meant we are now in a cultural and economic hole that will be increasingly difficult, expensive and time consuming to get ourselves out from.

    We have a tiny population and limited housing in an empty country where people have limited desire and finances for kids. Massive farms that produce income for a few overseas investors or historic families. Massively increasing inflation and cost of living due to our long supply chains and small industry base, especially compared to overseas. Falling education at a time we needs teachers, medical persons, engineers and tradies... unis are slashing courses, councils are running out of money, and overseas investors will funnel more out of the country.

    I just want others thoughts around this - I have multiple ideas and theories, but I want to hear from you all.

    How do you build a sense of teamwork and collaboration with remote teams, that do not use computers as a part of their daily work?

    cross posting from reddit - any coders happy to put in some leg work?

    Hi all,

    Reddit refugee here. I've been following hfy for a number of years and am invested quite heavily in a number of stories. I usually read on mobile on my lunch break, but with rif going and the shocking app it's replaced with I can no longer do so - just log in via computer every week or so to catch up.

    What I am interested in is seeing if any coders here are able to make a bot that pulls ongoing stories from r/hfy when they are updated (first contact, TFTR.etc) and ask the authors if they are ok with it being automatically posted to lemmy as well?
