I'm really good at palming coins and doing variations of disappearing coin tricks. Suck at any other form of slight-of-hand but I can make a coin-sized object look like it vanished with remarkable ease and smoothness.

BTW I went and read through the studies someone sent me in that thread and turns out the graphs from those studies show that trans women are more similar to cis men than to cis women in all metrics.
Which of the studies said that?
Because I've been reading through them myself and all I'm getting is stuff like:
This which says:
Results In this cohort of athletes, TW had similar testosterone concentration (TW 0.7±0.5 nmol/L, CW 0.9±0.4 nmol/), higher oestrogen (TW 742.4±801.9 pmol/L, CW 336.0±266.3 pmol/L, p=0.045), higher absolute handgrip strength (TW 40.7±6.8 kg, CW 34.2±3.7 kg, p=0.01), lower forced expiratory volume in 1 s:forced vital capacity ratio (TW 0.83±0.07, CW 0.88±0.04, p=0.04), lower relative jump height (TW 0.7±0.2 cm/kg; CW 1.0±0.2 cm/kg, p<0.001) and lower relative V̇O2max (TW 45.1±13.3 mL/kg/min/, CW 54.1±6.0 mL/kg/min, p<0.001) compared with CW athletes. TM had similar testosterone concentration (TM 20.5±5.8 nmol/L, CM 24.8±12.3 nmol/L), lower absolute hand grip strength (TM 38.8±7.5 kg, CM 45.7±6.9 kg, p=0.03) and lower absolute V̇O2max (TM 3635±644 mL/min, CM 4467±641 mL/min p=0.002) than CM.
And this Which says:
Key Findings Key Biomedical Findings Biological data are severely limited, and often methodologically flawed. There is limited evidence regarding the impact of testosterone suppression (through, for example, gender-affirming hormone therapy or surgical gonad removal) on transgender women athletes’ performance. Available evidence indicates trans women who have undergone testosterone suppression have no clear biological advantages over cis women in elite sport.
Both of which were cited in the articles OP linked.
This is the exact opposite of your claim.
That there's a type of cucumber bush that makes pathetically small humans?
C'mon Wales, score some goals!
Edit: not looking good...
Edit: 43-0? The fuck happened out there? Rugby's the nearest this country has to a state religion and we fucking suck at it!
TIL, baby gherkins aren't their own thing but rather gherkin cucumbers that are picked (and then pickled) earlier. All these years I just thought there was a typa cucumber bush that made pathetically small fruit.
Oh shit! Does that wizard have a gun?
Individualist nonsense. If we work together to use one hand to hold the sky aloft, we can use the other to beat the meat.
Easy game, don't bother playing liberal instead prep for the inevitable civil war:
Nab the interior ministry and anything else defence related, militarise the reichsbanner, purge rightists in reichswehr and police, ally with communists, shore up union support, form the iron front (but swerve it away from anti-communism), and just coup Hitler the moment he takes office. The most useful foreign relations thing you can do is training with Austrian socialists (no anarchists nor USSR for some reason). When the civil war popped off I had the police and military helping the communists crush nazi skull while the unions' general strike paralysed the state.
The game seems to treat this as the worst out of potential ways to prevent Nazi Germany which is cringe on its half.
The bluestones in Stonehenge come from West Wales. Instead of quarrying stone from near the monument, they dragged these huge blocks from ~278km away. Likewise, the altar stone comes from ~700km away in North-East Scotland. It must've been very important for the ancient Britons to've used these specific rocks for some reason, but their religious practices were conveyed via a now extinct oral tradition so no-one knows exactly why they did it.
I don't know what that means.
What I'm saying is that there's insufficient force and direction for a shampoo bottle to penetrate just from falling onto it.
Anything that is inserted into the rectum has to be eased through the rectal sphincter. Now, there are ways to make the insertion easier such as using lubrication or taking poppers but there's still gonna sufficient resistance that it's not gonna happen without the person making it happen.
On that note, I've been reading through an English translation of All Quiet on the Western Front, and it tries to bridge the gap by swapping out German slang from the time for rough English equivalents.
Only it was translated in the 80's, so the people who translated it are operating on, like, media portrayals of ww1 British slang and laying it on way too thick.
It makes for an incredibly weird tone 'cos you have all these German farmers talking like overly stereotypical tommies, asking doctors if their injuries are "blighty ones", etc.
