Race does have a biological basis, it's just not what everyone thinks it is. Race is not a useful way of characterizing human biological diversity, because diversity is greater within races than between races. Race is a very fast and loose concept similar to species classification actually, but it can be a useful delineation in population studies.

I'm fairly certain folx is only used to save characters on Twitter. I never got the impression it was supposed to be a gender neutral substitute for folks.

Everyone in Europe complains that China set it's own higher emission standards (because they are a developing nation) but they will still wreck the West in climate mitigation tbqh

The entire continent of Africa produces 3% of global carbon emissions. Carbon production is basically exponentially associated with wealth. Making the top 1000 wealthy individuals live at the carbon emission level of the next wealthiest 1% would reduce carbon emissions more than the entire continent of Africa.

If they really care about environmental destruction, they should support wealth redistribution.

I made my best post ever there "Capitalism is bad and here's why" where I posted as a feudal lord. Only time in my life I'd ever been able to organically use "subenfeoffment" and the comment section was alive with real discussion about medieval history and the origins of capitalism. It was truly a golden era of posting. And all my favorite shitposts are vanished like so many tears in the rain.

I still do this while I'm waiting for my pasta to cook, because I'm hungry and want snack.

Damn, communism really is when no iPhone. These guys look my grandpa trying to use their phones.

Nuts hang at different heights so you don't fuck them up when you are walking or sitting down.

I've gotten completely around this problem by getting testicular cancer and having only one nut. My cock looks like a pistol.

Tire shops for some reason.

Very roughly. They're not really at comparable stages in their spread, and the predictive power of clinical studies are not great. What we know for sure, is the Delta virus is a more transmissible mutant, which is basically what one would expect given the literature about variants. But dominant variants also trend towards having medium virulence too as that is the optimized evolutionary strategy. So it's unlikely that any of these dominant variants will develop into super killer strains.

33,000 confirmed cases. 233 hospitalizations. 42 deaths. 12 fully vaccinated. 12 fully vaccinated people of 33,000 dying is not a cause for huge alarm.

Obviously I'm not saying that the Delta variant shouldn't be a major cause for concern, but your chances are extremely good if you've gotten the vaccine.

My friend is a UPS driver and he said he would come home from delivering boxes to deliver boxes in Death Stranding. It was that good.

I'll be the guy in this thread I guess, but Apple just has better OS's. iOS has a way better UI than any android I've had. iMessage allows me to keep my American phone contacts while my mobile contract is paused and I'm living in Europe. Native and seamless device integration and iCloud.

MacBooks are also better and last longer than any Windows laptop I've ever had. And they run a native Unix system so I don't have to run my terminal through Putty to login to my school's remote server cluster and submit computation jobs. The UI is also miles better than Windows, although the gap has closed a fair bit admittedly since Windows switched away from their dumb app scheme from Windows 8. Macbook track pad hits completely different as well. I would never buy an apple desktop though, but as far self contained electronics go, apple products have always been better for me. And the price premium comes out in the wash basically over the lifetime of the device.

Like all these companies suck ass ethically. Google, microsoft, and Apple are all operating on a completely different tier of evil tbh. So as long as you need to have these things, you might as well just go with what you prefer. But acting like we're enlightened for whichever OS and machine we prefer is the real boomer mindset, not having a preference for Apple over Android or Windows.

Yeah Foxconn operates in the Special Economic Zones. If China shut them down though, the liberal media would also say it's bad.

Yeah it's called the gay uncle hypothesis. Which is a great name for a hypothesis btw

Pretend I'm your book, baby

I called them out as tailists and they said actually fighting for gay rights was commandism, because it talks down to imperialized workers that don't support gay rights.

Yeah, I went over there a few minutes ago, because I hate myself and someone posted an article about Lysenko and they're saying the gene is a "metaphysical concept."

No it's even dumber. They think homosexuality can't be biological because if it was it would immediately die out because gay people don't reproduce.

I actually agree. I was just being snarky. I wish these people were feds honestly because then they wouldn't be actually representative of a large portion of so-called communists that are in fact incredibly regressive conservatives.
