Was learning about the requirements it be a baker in Germany - something like 3 years of school to work at a bakery, 6 years to own one. Crazy.

Sounds like an easy bread pudding :)

The common name comes from the Romans, who ate them as a delicacy.

First paragraph.

I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word “Unsubscribe”.

The bachelor fridges are fine in communities not designed entirely for cars.

There is the doomerism timeline. “Well, it’s too late now, no reason to change anything now!”.

Doomerism is just an evolution of binary thinking.

Not just transphobic: Intersex-phobic and libelous

Your mindset is that kids are somehow encapsulated and isolated property and not full individuals who are lacking any real agency, who will grow up as member of the community to the quality that their upbringing allowed them.

Spending money on ensuring children have healthy and safe childhoods is both the easiest moral and easiest social financial decision of all time.

Children cannot decide to be alive, they cannot decide the environment they are in, they cannot decide their parents, or make any reasonable effort to change those circumstances. It doesn’t matter what decisions their parents make or made, we still have a choice to either let those without agency suffer or not.

Beyond that, if you have the moral backbone of some worm, then think about this: children who grow up financially secure result in adults who are simply more productive and less costly than those who are not. To the point where an adult who had that security during childhood will easily contribute far more than it cost for that security. They are already earning their keep.

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.

You will be ASSimulated?

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.

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.

Meh, maybe 10% of a single generation at most know how to use computers. Technically savvy millenials vastly overestimate how technically savvy other millenials are.

I’m American and I don’t think anyone in my social circle would blow their nose at the dinner table. Yours might just be gross.
