No they didn't. "Juggalo face makeup is better at throwing off facial recognition software than intentional methods." There's your headline. God I'm so tired of intentionally-misleading headlines. Clickbait nonsense

Let's look at some actual numbers without the hype. "91% of potentially recyclable plastic ends up in landfills, or worse, in oceans." So right there, no ratio. How much goes into the landfill and how much into the ocean? Bec

Your moral argument assumes we can undo thousands upon thousands of years of selective breeding. We can't. I've raised chickens since I was a kid. We kept males and females. When the chickens stopped laying, we ate them too. This

"The notion that women might shovel snow with less risk is an intriguing one that just might make a good study." Is it really sexist to just point out the obvious answer? Women have their men go out and shovel the snow.
