@Buffalox @Cephalotrocity conscription is immoral. If a cause is right and just you should be able to find volunteers. If you can't find volunteers perhaps you should rethink your mission.

@Megaman_EXE Maybe I didn't explain myself well. Most enjoyers of sport prefer to watch the best athletes. This is nearly always men. That's really the only reason that separate women's leagues ever got created. Many major sports, MLB, NFL, NHL, etc. don't actually have any particular requirements among gender, but the people who do want to see women participate have needed to create separate women's leagues for hockey, football, etc. because women haven't been able to compete at men's levels. And I say it's easy to understand because looking at numbers of ticket sales and television viewing make it pretty clear that far fewer people are interested in watching women's sports.

Some claim that its about exposure and marketing and not a true preference of sports fans, but even in more equal playing fields, like Crickets' "The Hundred" (English francise limited over Francise League) where every side has a women's and men's team and ever game is a double header in which both women and men play on the same date at the same location with the same ticket, 3 hours before the other, nearly half the audience doesn't get there until near the men's game starts (originally they actually had some times the men went first and sometimes the women went first and when men's game where first the attendance during the women's match was even worse). Similarly, the Olympics, which is fairly equally promoted, attendance at men's competitions is much higher with only a few exceptions, such as gymnastics and figure skating. Some claim equestrienne is the best Olympic sport as it's the only one where men and women compete as individual athletes directly against each other (of course others say it's the worst claiming the horse not the athlete is the one doing all the work).

@Megaman_EXE @alyaza I mean its pretty easy to understand, most people don't want to watch women's sports. This past year with women's basketball is the first time that's moved the neddle at all, and that is mostly about racists who wanted to watch the "great white hope" Catlin Clark.

@GeekFTW can you add Alt Text for picture description as I can't tell what this is supposed to represent.

@P4ulin_Kbana I'm a good parent. The kids are with us all the time, if they were doing something they weren't supposed to I'd know. Honestly, I tink I'd rather they be doing something nuferious than watching annoying kids videos, alas they prefer to watch the later too often watching other kids play scream and play with toys that we already bought that they never play with.

@cupcakezealot why is WWE paying them? Usually the broadcasters pays the content creator. Did I miss something?

@GeekFTW sounds good, I just wonder if there will be anything new that us smarks don't already know.

@GeekFTW when I first started following lucha CMLL was awful, but they seem to have really improved as of late. Certainly brining in more Gringos, which may be my bias showing.

@LEVI TPM is f'n annoying. Remember when back in the day the Free Software movement was actually about sharing everything, including getting people to not use passwords.

 

I have #Openkey-chain installed on my #Android phone and use it with #fairmail for sending #PGP #encrypted #email. For the life of me I can figure out how to import it into my #webmail client, #horde, for using it there. I have an option to import #key, but I don't know how to actually get the key into a place that I can import it. Any #help? @android @android
I feel like I should know this
