Real would be acknowledging that only women get pregnant, yet here we are.

Well, listen, as Eleanor Roosevelt has said, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." I think it incredibly disingenuous to equate a literal debate about appropriate medical terminology around childbirth to anyth

It is quite a stretch to refer to using the word "woman" to describe someone who is pregnant as treating trans males like shit.

You're conflating coin count with their relative size. This is not the main pattern in either BTC or ETH.

Start my data science career in a 2nd- (or 3rd-)tier midwestern city instead of the same job in the company's NYC office. I have a lot more competitive advantage, real estate, and discretionary income (adjusted for purchasing power par

Well, it's annoying for you. "Others" is a bit of a stretch.

I am not sure what is more laughable, the contention that in the past, "science [was] filled with the right people with the right motivations in the right subculture" or that the problem is the admission of minorities (who, by the

As has been stated voluminously elsewhere in this comment section, and better by others than my attempt here: we have a (quasi-?)democratic apparatus and constitutional framework that governs our country's use of this power. Does China

And the ability for government/regulatory oversight.

by p0pcult 4y ago
Interesting point, but if the goal is a balkanized internet, and the means is exploiting xenophobia, doesn't that implicity prove that China is adept enough at using TikTok to stoke racial animus to justify the shutting down of TikTok?

Cambridge Analytica, while problematic, isn't a government, which makes your analogy extremely weak. Cambridge Analytica, while problematic, doesn't have control over FB/its algorithm, which makes your analogy extremely weak.

Compelling news story, but is there a less-tabloid source? In my cursory Googling, I haven't been able to find anything. Murdoch-owned media is pretty low in my trustworthiness/objectivity rankings.

You're talking about rape. I am talking about books. You seem to implicitly claim that one causes the other, or makes it more likely. I dispute that claim. Stop conflating books with rape. As for armed militias: https://w

I am just pointing out that the age of onset of sexual activity is a distribution, and that nothing nefarious needs to happen to make it so, even at the tail ends. While I would not want my kids (who are older than 4th grade) to be sexuall
