It’s not about bad tactics it’s about bad targets.

That tweet is almost as bad as people who bring up the paradox of tolerance. Morals have always and will always be relative to who’s alive at the time. Dril is just speaking power to truth, since their morals are winning for now.

It’s a shame because society needs examples of institutions that represent values as important as free speech. If we want to move forward we have to tolerate nazi speeches as long as they obey the law. When institutions like that disappear

You introduce a lot of complexity when you change the boundaries. Straight to microservices is almost always premature optimization. You'll know pretty quick when it is needed.

Isn’t 0 a very pro vaccine sub and 1 linking to a Twitter called “voices for vaccines”? I only bring this up because their arguments didn’t really address anything (and it’s an observational study, so there’s not too much to talk about) but

What does being bred have to do with the pattern of genetics influencing behavior? Are you saying there aren’t enough differences in human genetics to allow us to group them in a meaningful way?

I'm not sure how to account for darker skin _may_ be less attractive to humans on a genetic level. It's a question science can't answer, so I don't know how we could control for it. i.e, it could be the truth that the li

No. Genetics shape how the individual responds to the environment. Just because you can change the environment and get different results doesn't mean it's not due to genetics.

Changing the meaning of words (i.e, reducing stigma) never works. It's a practice used by authoritarians to get what they want fast because it's cheap and relatively easy. I'm curious what the GP was told that makes them thin

Don't our genes dictate how we interact with the environment? I'm not sure how it could be anything but. That being said, yes, we can change our environment and see changes in measured intelligence. A person with a head is smarter

Men and women share fundamentally different genetic configurations which makes it seem illogical to me. What makes it seem logical to you?

You think it's equal? That seems so statistically unlikely I could only describe it as a miracle.

I’m all for normalizing emotional injury if we can come up with a consistent framework for identifying it (same as a broken ankle). We currently lack the technical ability to understand emotion in an objective way. As it stands, people use

No matter what system we propose it can’t handle human greed and abuses of power. Bad actors ruin everything. We need to figure out how to build high trust societies with a shared culture. There’s a reason large corporations are pushing div

Yes, people who were wronged and are still alive should be compensated. Punishing the son for the sins of the father is not healthy for society nor fair.

For whatever reason people think we live in a democracy and not an oligarchy. I guess it’s in the oligarchs best interest to keep that facade up.

Reading that is wild…does he think he’ll be able to bear the burdens his wife couldn’t? He’s trying to change himself for his partner when he needs to find a different partner. He comes off as having lost all respect and confidence in himse

Definitely this. The writer (and many commenters here) are missing a very important distinction. Changing yourself is good and healthy but only when you want to. Changing for somebody else is toxic and will not work. Marriage is a partnersh

We should be able to weight the cost of saving those lives vs the harm caused to those who would otherwise be fine. If we don’t have those numbers I don’t think we can define what worked and what didn’t. Just looking at raw lives saved (esp

Are we able to construct experiments to test this? I’m not sure how that’s possible given the confounds we don’t have the ability to control for (genetics being a huge one). Looking at group level statistics can’t provide a definitive answe

Yes, being tall and assertive is more common among males. What point are you trying to make?

The responses you got are borderline religious. Pro union people need to acknowledge and be up front about the cons of a union. It’s just another entity with power over a group of people and suffers from the same pros and cons. It’s not a p

Likewise. I used to have chronic back pain sitting. Consistent deadlifting seems to have fixed that.
