Vivaldi mail requires you to be an “active community member” in the Vivaldi community
Shit, didn't know. Thanks for pointing that out.
Vivaldi Mail beats Proton and Tuta because Vivaldi strongly opposes cryptocurrencies / pyramid schemes, the others support it.
I'm sorry you feel that way. To avoid ambiguity, I'm criticizing your argument, not you as a person.
What do you mean “skill against skill”?
Like your boxing example.
On lichess.org new accounts gets the average Elo rating from where they can work their way up or down. In sports one can simply go to a club and start off with the beginners or where they or a coach think they could manage and work their way up.
Another way of interpreting your comment is dismissing differences and simply making people all compete against each other. This would obviously exclude all women from most sports so you’d have to be a pretty committed misogynist to think that was preferable to gendered sports.
This wouldn't be misogynist but bullying because heavyweight men/women would beat up featherweight men/women too.
It's always there, but that doesn't mean one constantly hears it. I'm listening to music a lot, so then I don't hear it. When I skateboard or do any other sports I don't hear it, et cetera. Only when it's quiet I sometimes become aware of it, but because of habituation I usually unconsciously ignore it just as quickly. It does happen that sometimes in bed I keep focusing on it to the point it annoys me, but fortunately that's rare. Not being able to experience absolute silence in a forest anymore disappoints me though; c'est la vie.
That being said, I'm probably in the camp of people whose condition is mild. It must indeed be horrible for people whose tinnitus overpowers all other sounds.
False, because "you're wrong but I won't tell you why" is not a valid argument and a useless contribution.
“It is better either to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.” ―Pythagoras (570–496 BC)
Gender segregation shouldn't be done in anything as far as I know. Just pit skill against skill.
In the grand scheme of things, from an ethical point of view, they're worth nothing as they don't contribute anything of true value to societal change. In other words, pure entertainment, bread and circuses.
“Soccer is a gentlemen sport played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.”
While I'd enjoy playing soccer myself, the competitive scene is completely bereft of soul; a front for gambling and advertising. It's despicable and unethical that professional soccer players earn as much as they do.
I wish I could ride my bike like a Scythed Chariot and destroy all these death machines that have the gall to ride on the bike path.
I mean fuck! I hate cars and pretentious drivers so goddamn much. The only thing they have to do to accelerate is push a pedal once with less effort than moving a feather of a newborn chick, yet they for some reason consistently claim the right of way, or get it by law even. Topsy-turvy society.
“I reduced the insolent crowd of carriages which cumber our streets, for this luxury of speed destroys its own aim; a pedestrian makes more headway than a hundred conveyances jammed end to end along the twists and turns of the Sacred Way.” ―Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)
