There isn't much of a connection between being Israeli and being gay though. A quick check of the LGBTQ demographics[1] shows that actually Israelis are only a little over twice as likely to be gay vs. the US for example. > In a sam

My hot take is that IVF enables infertile couples to propagate their genes, which is bad in an evolutionary sense since it increases the population and decreases the fertility of the gene pool. Another way of putting it is, it increases the

The Romans weren't particularly antisemitic, unless you define antisemitic as "opposing Jewish interests." There was a lot of bad blood between them and the Jews in that sense. In one of the Jewish-Roman wars, Kitos War[1],

True, intelligence is not simple. But no matter how complex it is, the difference between an IQ of 100 and an IQ of 70 is undeniably a difference in intelligence. The difference between a society with an average IQ of 100 and a society with

That's not really apples to apples though. If we start bombing Indian reservations and trying to exterminate Native Americans, I'm pretty sure they would quite deliberately become a threat to American equivalents of this guy. (...

Nothing, just like there's nothing wrong with racist fanfics. The line should be drawn when someone rapes a child or hangs a black person.

This is exactly how I'm using Raindrop. Basically my bookmarking system is like a TODO list. These are highly valuable finds that are really, really relevant to me. How do you guys compare to Raindrop?

It has nice linking and macros, it is very painful when it comes to code blocks. It's also a bit weird that every paragraph is a bullet point. I prefer being able to write Markdown documents where not every paragraph is a bullet point.
