As it happens, there kind of is a non-coincidental connection, apart from the obvious 'I was no longer a butchery clerk and needed to make money'. As an engineer I can afford to buy meat substitutes. I can afford veganism, or

fascinatingly, I have done this! Was vegetarian, went so far as to take a job as a clerk at an ethical butchery. I eventually went vegan (and returned to engineering again) but I have the deepest respect for those who work with meat but tre

Evidence from someone who has experience with particular medical condition, who has been living with it for years, is not 'ancedotal', it is local knowledge. It might not be accurate, but it's often a good place to begin actu

As a trans woman, I agree this needs more study, and I have experienced something similar. And I'd like to have a word with whoever downvoted this.

Unlikely. Alcohol is just sugar that no longer tastes sweet, as far as your glucose levels are concerned, and meanwhile can destroy your life and health in lots of other ways. There is no Latteholics Anonymous.

No such conflation occurred ~ for a conflation, I would need to have said, "being an actor just is being a sex worker." Words mean things. What you are uncomfortable with is adjacency, and it points to internal work you need to

many women actors ("actresses"?! 1995 called) and models are indeed sex workers. The term "sex worker" is in fact a term of art engineered in part specifically to capture this reality. I encourage you to read up about se

This point could have been phrased better, but I concur. This just eliminated a solid gig for a whole lot of women. Unbanning sex toys was a big step forward, but creating morality bylaws will inevitably result in, eg, women engineers (like

You fail to understand selection pressure. AMP is necessary now for a competitive ranking. This is not a small matter. Moving up or down a single space in search engine results can be the difference between a successful startup and washing

HN, HN, HN. This is a climate change denialist blog. I am not a scientist and cannot effectively assess Zharkova's claims directly, but I can't help but notice the sidebar (pasted below). About 4 out of every 5 links are basically

that sounds fantastic! fwiw I came to a similar solution but it came in the form of a battery powered eraser and a big pad of paper. erasure is the problem, not marking. a good soft graphite pencil and an electric eraser is my whiteboard ^^

the comments on this post -- the apologia, the denials, the profusion of fine distinctions -- is a damning and powerful body of evidence for the claim presented. Congrats, HN. You played yourself.
