Lol I think this is the locked thread on r/movies right? So there's only like 40 comments but they all have thousands of points.

Some of the endnotes inserted by Progress’s Stalinist editors in editions up to and including the last editions in the 1970s are fraught with polemics aimed at prejudicing the reader against this or that Bolshevik or revolutionary who, since Lenin’s death, had fallen out of favor with the current leadership of the USSR at the time the notes were inserted. Wherever possible, we have deleted, corrected, or toned down these polemics. In addition, we have added our own notes where appropriate, integrating them into the whole of the endnotes for each document.

Wow yeah that's pretty ridiculous. They claim to be archivists and yet they're clearly editors.

You're right that Americans are under-educated in those areas. However, China has something like a hundred "big cities" (let's say roughly Philadelphia-sized). Only a real geography buff would be able to identify all of them! If Americans knew just ten of them, that would be great.

Free Ryukyu! Revolution of our time!

Aw man that sucks

When you start talking about height and hand size, I think you're getting lost in the sauce. Basketball already favors abnormally tall people anyway, but no one is trying to ban Yao Ming from the sport for being 229 cm (7'6").

The issue of transgender athletes was basically resolved several years ago when the IOC decided on two years of feminizing hormones before transgender women could compete in the female category. But due to the re-emergence of the anti-queer culture war, sports federations are re-litigating the issue and throwing science out the door.

Since men have been getting support and funding for over a century in sports and games like this, you end up with them dominating the field. Women's categories bring in more female players that otherwise wouldn't have a chance if the entire game was open only. But on the other hand, this enables concern-trolling over "transgender invasion". It's also applied questionably to sports that maybe don't need this such as in the case of Zhang Shan & Olympic skeet shooting. It can reinforce gender stereotypes. Finally, I'd say it's frustratingly slow at leveling the playing field.

I am a more qualified journalist than Saskia O'Donoghue it seems.

Biden still owes us $600 from his campaign promise lol

Not really news. Of course soldiers are going to say nationalistic things.

Sadly I can't find a single news article that discusses likely jury bias. In fact, most articles are just carbon copies of each other
