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”.

There is a very distinct double standard when it comes to the candidates and what the media and citizens focus on. Kamala has to be flawless and Trump gets a “Trump will be Trump” attitude.

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.

Pascals wager is more about belief in any effectively omnipotent being who is threatening you. I agree with OP that Rokos basilisk is a form, or at least in the same family, of the wager.

If anything, it strengthens one of my key arguments against the wager - there are an infinite number of potential God’s with different conditions on why they will punish. Picking out any particular god to follow for any reason is simply nonsense.

Not just transphobic: Intersex-phobic and libelous

Not sure how you are defining nepotism here.

Eggs in a basket

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.

1. Cut in half
2. Remove core
3. Cut in quarters
4. Peel.

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?

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.
