The whole trans sports thing came up but fortunately they're not super confrontational so I just rattled off some stats, the line about how no one cared about women's sports before this and if you really care that much about fairness you gotta ban people like Michael Phelps too. They stopped after that, for now anyways.

Not sure who it's from but there's a new talking point about food not being as nutritious as it used to be but in like a conspiratorial way not cus the soil is degrading from industrial agriculture way.

More nutritious food is now more expensive due to corporate price gouging disguised as inflation, resulting in getting less nutrition for the same cost (or even more).

Oh yeah but not that kind of conspiracy. They meant it more in a Q adjacent way.

That's not a conspiracy, veggies are bred for speed of growth and shelf stability, not flavor or nutrition. Compare an heirloom garden grown tomato to a super market one. Everybody should be taking a multivitamin.

I suppose it depends on your definition of conspiracy but yeah it's to decrease turnover time.

Impressive that you've memorized stats and can dunk with them

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but regardless, just the one about athletic performance being statistically equivalent for trans women (or maybe even worse) after 2 years of HRT as cis women. And the most important one about the lack of trans women dominating women's sports (either in total or as a percentage of trans athletes), which one would expect to happen if there were a real advantage.

Not being sarcastic! It's actually impressive.
