Mildlypolite··on Rival weightlifter speaks out on transgender Hubbard's Olympic place
Let's frame the problem like this:if we accept Hubbard as participant in the women field, we should accept also women to men transgenders in the male field(who wouldn't stand a chance of qualifying ever) therefore it is clear we need a transgender category if we don't want to disqualify an entire field of transgender athletes.
Mildlypolite··on How and why I stopped buying new laptops
I think this topic is not very considered in the ambientalists field, so to speak. But it should be, we are talking about a mindset of continuous upgrades, be it a laptop, a smartphone, dresses, cars,bikes, etc This mindset has a huge environmental impact.

It has also another outcome: you never put the commitment it is required to master a tool if that tool changes constantly, which is 90% of what matters. I really hate this outcome.

Mildlypolite··on Il Maestro: Federico Fellini and the lost magic of cinema
I really can't understand how some of you can "suffer" through a Fellini's film. His films have always multiple levels, and there is always one funny dimension, a more philosophical level, the photography is always outstanding, there is a poetic level. Probably some of the Fellini's irony is lost in translation:his being funny is sometimes linked to the accent of some of the characters(I am Italian) . But you have to gloss over a lot of the beauty to find him boring.
Mildlypolite··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
I had Ibd for 10 years, did a microbiota transplant and, literally, the day after it was gone. I am not sure why this treatment is not being pushed for Ibd,bbut it was nothing short of miracolous.
