Billionaires lost their fear of publicly supporting fascism.

Don’t worry, the reunion tour is in 35cmy

Both were massive empires. Makes sense that imperialism would put selective pressure on language. Historically you’re either limited in words by space on a paper or what can be easily repeated by messengers.

The cult leaders are evangelical pastors. They’ll find a new guy because it’s profitable. They will herd their sheep to a new wolf.

The exploitative business types will follow for the same reasons. They only worship profit and trump literally gives them your tax money, cuts their taxes, and curates the courts to their interests.

To get estrogen/change state registered gender. Latent hate from an older generation of senior medical people. It was explqined to me over a year ago so i can’t remember specific details.

I use the site daily. Being able to download FREE CAD models in one click, nominal dimensions for nearly everything, and linked compatible components makes design so much simpler. I can swap a screw out in my assemblies in seconds. Other online hardware catalogs just don’t compare. It’s the perfect first draft resource.

If McMaster ever goes down it’s going to take twice as long to do any design.

No. It’s common not to get surgery.

Yup. Changing gender also requires sterilization in Norway. It’s fucked.

Yeah, but also you can see some countries scoring lower due to trans rights where queer couples have equivalent rights to het. No “map” is going to take all the nuance. But your point is valid. Reducing to a number obscures things and it’s worth little in terms of reliable, actionable info.

Oh yeah I think it was a translation issue. Translators have trouble with conjugation and synonyms. But the result is the same.

The first one you learned or became fluent in. For example, it’s often English for USA people or Spanish for Spanish people, or Japanese for Japanese people

Often also called mother tongue or primary language.

Otherwise, it can be the one you are most comfortable with or default to.

It’s hard enough to express this in a first language

Even then it’s safer than playing with rocks it seems.

It’s hell. But at least you can dial boot the damn thing.

Also significant politics within the field preventing integrated approaches to control. It’s possible we could target specific species of mosquito that are vectors for deadly disease, with the intent of eradicating the disease by suppressing the vector. It would be the greatest collective undertaking of human kind. We’d have to shelf things like international borders and profits.

We’re stuck with being annoyed in any case.

Also ticks.

“Gary, they don’t have anuses. Seriously man, are you ok?”

Do you think if humans ever achieve interstellar flight and discover a less technologically advanced species that we’ll just show them how to use big stick to move big rock and then fly away smug af and high fiving?

My 100% BS conjectures are:

• to save energy versus committing the dream to long term memory

• to facilitate childhood/adolescent development, as object permanence is learned you need the external world to be the consistent one. You can’t waste energy learning to adapt to the worlds in your dreams in later childhood.

• as adults dream amnesia can help avoid relived or newly generated trauma incurred as the begin processes your external experience.

Idk, there’s lots of possible benefits. In not about to do the research paper deep dive. But the wild part is that dreaming developed and the mechanism for not remembering the dreams also developed and there was a selective pressure for that to be the case.

Don’t be so hyperbolic
