I think the number of women and doctors who would both agree to say, in week 38, to randomly decide to do an abortion is basically zero




Then there should be no harm in outlawing it, right?

it’s worth noting we’re a small, selected minority group everywhere in the country except for two towns, the larger of which is less than 10,000 people




Ave Maria is one, but what's the second?

It’s fascinating to consider: if Lucas hadn’t made Star Wars would he have continued making movies like this for thirty years instead?




Probably not, since he couldn't continue making Star Wars for thirty years either.

And I suppose that this is further exacerbated by the decline in birth rates: if military families aren't having as many sons (or, in this brave new world, daughters) as they used to, even among the ones that do encourage their kids to join there aren't as many potential recruits.

Are we going to see the far right attempt to form an alliance with the left in the hopes that their shared antisemitism will be sufficient to gain political power?




No, the two groups have diametrically opposed positions on domestic policy questions and their convergence on a single foreign policy issue isn't going to be enough to bridge that gap. You may see their congresscritters vote the same way on Israel-related bills, but there won't be greater cooperation beyond that. This is a case where the enemy of your enemy is your enemy's enemy, no more, no less.

It's the duty of a scientist to think deeply about the things he writes about. People will assume that, because he is a scientist, he has in fact thought deeply about the subjects of the papers he publishes. Scientists who don't think deeply about their areas of study need to be discouraged from being scientists, lest they use their institution's prestige to convince people of things that aren't true.

Is it really a huge strain on a $26 trillion economy to build some more prisons, especially considering the gain in rehabilitating urban centres? Combating two great powers on the other side of the world is easy - but laying down some cement and cubicles is hard? Or if prisons are too hard, they could try caning. Singapore knows a lot about running safe cities and combating drugs, the US should try copying their notes.




Those things are extremely hard, harder than going to the Moon, not because of resource constraints, but because of political opposition.

I can imagine a future in which science shall have passed from the combative to the dogmatic stage, and shall have gained such catholic acceptance that it shall take control of life, and condemn at once with instant execution what now is left for nature to destroy. But we are far from such a future...




I found this bit to be particularly prescient. Much control over our lives has indeed been taken by those who proclaim a sort of scientific dogma, all while the combativeness that kept science honest and producing useful theories is fading. The future he dreamed about is here, right now.

They didn't ban the flag as such, they banned it on government buildings.




Which makes it the same type of ban as Florida's "book bans", which didn't actually ban any books, merely removed them from certain government buildings.

Then again, you also have to show that you are willing to part with some plata.




They have shown that already, which is why the company is as big as it is/was and why the boycott is hurting as much as it is (if they hadn't been spending money, the boycott would have no effect).

They use what are essentially bendy metal poles. The blades aren't rigid, and they're not even blades, since they don't have a cutting edge. Instead, there's a sensor at the tip that sends an electrical signal when it hits an opponent.

Globohomo is a pithy shortening of "Global Homogenization", in other words:




You can count on the locals drinking the same beverages, eating the same food, watching the same TV, dressing up in same fashion trends and living in same houses as you do.

As will happen to all of us, as will happen to every cause we hold dear.




This is why you should dedicate your life to causes that have survived for thousands of years, such as Catholicism or shipbuilding, since the longer a thing has existed, the more likely it is to continue to exist.

something which has no effect on the modal user




Blind people can't use the official app and rely on third-party apps, which are getting killed by the API changes. So there's an ableism angle to this, which makes lots of people upset about the changes even if they aren't blind.




AND no effect on the stereotypical powermod who's there to defend Cathedral talking points.




Many mods, including those on /r/AskHistorians, rely on third-party apps to do moderation. AskHistorians in particular has a reputation for high-quality modding, which makes the prospect of losing concerning to average users too.

I mostly watch YouTube on mobile, where it's already more trouble than it's worth to try to get around the ads.
