If you look at who is doing the work it'll give you a clue.

Most of them were international students who'd recently graduated or other newcomers working their first job in Canada.

Getting a job when your first language isn't English is hard. It's also hard when all of your references might not speak English, are half a world away, and you don't really have a "network" in Canada. You might be willing to put up with a lot of shit in order to have some work history in Canada.

I do agree that people in the same sport will train the same muscles, but they normally start with a biological advantage in order to be good enough in the sport to start to train specifically for it to begin with. There are other things than height, such and foot/hand size, torso length, natural testosterone levels, how fast your body removed lactic acid, if you were born with a cardio-vascular issue, dozens of factors that affect your balance, and much more.

Someone with Ehlers-Danlos isn't likely to become a powerlifter.

  1. Trans men get the ability to compete with other men, I assume you mean trans women get to compete with other women.
  2. No one actually cares about women's sports until "the trans issue" comes up. This argument is just an excuse to try to harm trans people. Most people can't name a WNBA team, or name more than 5 female athletes.
  3. Biological differences is what professional sports are. That's why people who have similar builds seem to play the same sports.

The article says that cedar is being used "for grounding and protection", so at least some of it is bullshit.

I am also on team bar soap, but body wash isn't always "soap", it's sometimes a detergent.

Which is another reason why I am on team bar soap.

"Masculinity" isn't toxic on its own, "Toxic Masculinity" is a specific thing on its own.

It's using the measuring stick of being "masculine enough" or "enough of a man" to harm someone else.

"Lemmy" doesn't ban people, but certain instances might.

aka, if I get banned from Lemmy.world, I am not banned from Lemmy, just from lemmy.world.

Here's the link they probably tried to link:
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/the-dose-noise-health-1.6889724

It's from the same news source as the image they linked, and it contains the line "If you live in a big city in Canada, chances are you regularly hear noises that are harmful to your health."

But, I am suspect of this poster. That URL for the picture seems sketchy, and using a sentence from a 2-year-old news story is also odd as hell.

While opt-in polls cannot be assigned a margin of error

Basically, these numbers don't really count for anything.

Fuck the hellhole that is Alberta, but they don't have the most cases in Canada.

Everything we do is kinda shitty and bad. My shirt was bought from a mega corp that kills local economies, a sweat shop or child labour was probably involved at some point, the cotton in it might have been farmed using slave labour, I could go on, but we both know that the clothing industry is shitty all the way down. I can't go to work naked or grow my own cotton, so I try to be less-bad in other ways. I choose to eat in a way that’s less-bad for the environment, and doesn't directly profit from killing animals.
