If only sex was as simple as a selection of gametes. There is a wide range of chromosomal, hormonal, genitalia, and physiological variation in human sex characteristics, and it is much more common than you think. And that is ignoring much more subtle variation and overlap between the sexes - cognitive, emotional, psychological - that are just as much a part of the natural variation of human sex as any other.
And before you come back with an argument about some rhetoric about "conditions" or what ever - all of evolution starts as a rare variation that becomes common in a certain population. Certain eye colors are nearly the same rarity.
Finally, there are plenty of animals that have individuals that do not reproduce. Examples are naked mole rats. We aren't a eusocial species, but it isn't to say we don't have some very early characteristics of it.
The "free speech absolutist" at it again!
Yeah, let's not hyperanalyze bike sustainability. If you are riding a bike for commuting, you are drastically more sustainable than if you chose to drive. There isn't any strong reason to try to muddy the victory.
Soybeans are an excellent crop for increasing protein, and one we know well. Malnutrition is a huge issue in Afghanistan - cultural considerations are fundamentally a secondary issue to starving children.
And please, take some time to expand on what filth the US was teaching girls. Let me guess, anything non-religous that teaches them that they have more value beyong their sex and ability to produce children?
And please, describe how the Taliban has successfully reimplemented any liberal, STEM, or non-religous instruction.
I will have to downvote because of the misinformation on the eye of the needle claim. That is almost certainly false - there really isn't any evidence of this and the theory seems to come from the middle ages.
Similarly, camel probably means camel, not cable (as a popular theory suggests).
Here is a video that discusses the theories.
Please edit to qualify the claim about the eye of the needle.
Yes, because the study design does not prove causation.
Yeah, this is something many climate advocates say - that it is better to keep the car you have - but I don't think this is backed up by data at all. It's very clear that that EVs are able to save more carbon emissions than in a fairly short period than you would save by not continuing to drive an ICE vehicle, with manufacturing included.
If we were going to have a simple rule, replacing all ICE vehicles today with EVs will be far better for the climate than keeping them.
Money. Donate. There isn't a near term world where money won't matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.
I think you just redefined a marriage. The function of marriage legally is all those "legal affairs".
That's also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.
Things that have been improving:
- Global poverty rate (going down)
- Global average lifespan (going up)
- Global literacy rate (going up)
- Global internet access (going up)
- Global infant mortality and maternal mortality (going down)
The reality is, most of the world by many metrics is getting better over time. There are things that threaten this (climate change and increasing authorititarianism) and it has slowed, but overall we are still generally positive trajectory wise. In fact, I would say that in most metrics that matter, we are improving.
Limited visibility, limited comprehension, limited attention, and limited risk aversion.
My guess is that the vending machine is not owned by whoever put this up and the operator indicated they will be by to empty it.
It is definitely picking up very quickly currently. Far more common in the last couple years than before.
I can put my credit card number in any transaction directly, and so can anyone else. Digital payment can provide a random one time card number (at the expense of privacy, admittedly). Physical cards are absolutely not safer.
