Bigger faces as adults, due to e.g. much larger jaws iirc. Don't think head size at birth was much different, was it?

I've been pulling heads out of very stretched vaginas for the past week, and suspect there are biological reasons other than metabolism that larger head size is selected against.
This might go away if we got rid of the sexually antagonistic selection that's limiting larger hip sizes in women.

It was a delight to be on the other side of that tactic for a change
The natural gas "export ban" wasn't actually an export ban: it just gave a monopoly to the companies the US gov partnered with to build LNG terminal infrastructure. Very much a long term deep state project that started way back in the bush admin.
My suspicion is that someone made a few phone calls to the white house and got the order they wanted added to the auto pen queue. No need to bother Biden with the little details.

I'm pretty sure von Neumann could have quite easily taken over the world if he could have copied himself infinite times and perfectly coordinated all his clones through a hive mind.
Completely ignoring scaling of agents is weird.
Isn't that the ground-based homeworld game that came out a while back? The one they sandwiched into what could have been a cool desert planet salvage setting. Then again, knowing what the studio did with homeworld 3 it probably wouldn't have been...

Oh interesting, wikipedia listed him as "Anglicanism/Catholicism," which I just rounded off to popery of the "I just go for the incense, honest!" type
Very little to say other than that this is a lame low-effort post by his old standards. It hinges entirely on reading the word "does" to mean "accomplishes," not "carries out." Compare his absurd examples to:
"The purpose of a cancer ward is to match patients with oncologists and medical resources"
"The purpose of an army is to fight a war"
"The purpose of the San Francisco homelessness commission is to..."
Now, if there's a military that is manifestly unfit for fighting wars, employs more admirals than it has ships, and politicians alternate between saying "it's good to abolish militaries so we can't have wars" and "fuck, we want to go have a war but our military is incapable," you can say "the purpose of this military is what it does, which is not fighting wars."
Similarly if we had a cancer ward that had no patients and was only staffed by the physical therapist cousins of the director, its purpose would be nepotism, even though it has cancer in the mission statement and nobody has ever died of cancer there.
Scott used to be very careful with words and meanings to the point of pilpul, so I'm assuming this is intentionally playing stupid for dunking purposes. My least favorite "what does that even meaaaaan, I don't get it so you're weird lol" rhetorical trick.
Edit: and the follow-up engagement baiting on Twitter confirms it. He must be lose subscriber to resort to farming like this.

That's crazy. My biggest patch is 12 rows of 20 in a 12x12 bed. I didn't know you could double the density. How do you weed between them?

The only protestant currently on the supreme Court is Jackson, for example. And there were none at all for some years before her.
Imagine how easy it'd be to pick up a cute Chinese girlfriend at one of those. Just ask if she wants to come see your heat seeking missile.
Nah, the natives get to "partner" with some fishing megacorp the same way they do with casino management companies. Then they yoink e.g. all the Dungeness crabs, including the females and immature ones that the coast guard would board us with a swat team for taking.
Wait, really? I heard a five minute summary of the story and instantly assumed they were trotskyists, what with the whole "lenin betrayed the people's revolution" plot
Too much bad blood at this point. In the Pacific Northwest they destroyed our fishing industry while exempting "natives" from all the regs. In the northeast there's a similar story with cod and foreign fishing.
Same with logging and the spotted owls.
Republican boomers don't march next to atomwaffenfront or "put their white bodies on the line to protect brave young people doing Direct Action." The right doesn't have the organization or ideological discipline to use confused and wishy washy boomers as pawns.
When they con the elderly into sending them a bunch of money, it gets funneled to merch scammers rather than paying professional activists. You don't see leftist boomers buying AI generated commemorative trump collectible NFT digital-colloidal-silver coins like all the old Republicans are. They write checks to the ActBlue Progress Fund For Doing Progress that sends the money on to "Unicorn Riot", and it gets matched by a billionaire.
And you'll notice that old right wingers objectively haven't suddenly had their minds changed for them, so politics is obviously working rather differently on the two sides. There is no Republican activist group getting piles of cash to teach other activists how to "diagram systems of power for strategies of intervention"

I'm assuming the riffs on "who now remembers the genocide of the Armenians" is fully intentional? ;)
This is just a new round of elderly Dems imitating the radicalism of younger demos without really understanding it, as we saw with BLM. Most of the political (and entertainment) media boomer dems consume is designed to sanewash radical ideas into their existing worldview, using the "spectrum of allies" concept to activate and exploit them without requiring total ideological commitment.
The left is incredibly good at doing this, like with "abolish the police." They recruited grandmas who wanted attention, and kept them in their own separate unit with a command structure and propaganda line tuned specifically for using them as passive interference for militant units. They didn't have to be chanting "fry piggy fry" for them to be useful to the movement, they just had to be pushed one step to the left..
Coordinating this stuff is masterful work. The left can have a Quaker widows' group at protests with "Israel should be nicer!" banners, actively working alongside revcom Molotov throwers with "death to amerikkka glory to the martyrs" banners, and the people involved are so cleanly ideologically managed by their organizers that they don't even notice any contradictions in the different units' party lines.
A lot has been made of demands for "ideological purity" on the left, but imo this completely misses the mark. There is no "universal leftist consensus," and different groups are quite explicitly given different and conflicting party lines. What matters is following the line of your particular unit, because the purpose of ideology to the leftist isn't being true, but being useful for social control. That's the fundamental lesson of the critical theorists, if you actually read them, and why all their papers are about things like "overcoming student resistance to Change Narratives to nurture activism in the classroom."
I talk to quite a few "Daily Kos grandmas," and they're fascinating to listen to. They have no memory of what they used to believe or interest in what they may come to believe, only a sort of endless present of affirmation and social discipline crafted to maximize their donations to radical groups.
They don't actually "believe" in making Israel judenfrei from the river to the sea, just like they didn't actually believe in abolishing the police in 2020. But the echo chamber keeps them in that familiar permanent superposition on the topic, where they're actively pressured to avoid thinking beyond vague and shifting party lines.
One of the schism mods wrote something about being part of a Quaker team at some leftist protest that was a really interesting read, I'll see if I can find it. IIRC it was the "death to terfs" contingent that made her notice something was off.
I just looked at coomer.su to see what I've been missing, and apparently... Not much.
What's the deal? Most of these girls are like 7/10, are they just nailing the parasocial relationship to nail simp whales?
Like, top of the popular page is belle Daphne or whatever talking about speed running jigsaw puzzles in between bathtub selfies, which seems like irresistible autist-bait.

But it is very tiring to see people suddenly pop up acting like they're experts after months of low/no engagement, just because they suddenly have a stick they can hit people with.
I keep asking them tariff questions from last year and never get a response, because they never cared about tariffs until this week.

This is another one of those things I wish I could send a screenshot back in time.
Their recommendations are pretty bad, btw.
Wouldn't it be great if your kids could see a healthier, better version of grandma? No reason to wait until she's dead, just turn on AI grandma and avoid an awkward trip to the nursing home.
If she's lucky, maybe someone will remember to turn on grandma's "your family cares about you and comes to visit regularly" VR experience.
I think the future is going to be far more awful and dehumanizing than we can possibly imagine right now.
