You can't point to a difference and say it's (directly) caused by chromosomes or the SRY gene or hormones, whatever. Brain differences increase with age, suggesting that they may be more to do with socialisation than genetics. Does this evidence prove that women should be treated differently or is it evidence that women are, in fact, treated differently?
What depresses turnout, when the choices are so dismal, is telling people that all the warning signs mean nothing. It's not so much forgetting about 2016 as absolutely refusing to learn the lessons of 2016. I don't get it, I just don't get it.
Hey everyone else. Trump has a real prospect of winning. The Dems are, at best, useless but you're going to have to hold your nose and vote: just make sure you have a plan for holding their feet to the fire afterwards.
Anyone who wants to avoid Trump winning the election really needs to stop demanding complacency from the Dems. They need people to hold their noses and vote and all they can do is reassure everyone it's in the bag. Have they just forgotten 2016 or something?
Of course. Apart from all the many things you can say about the creativity and fun of 'the' ADHD brain, the absent-minded professor is a lesser known ADHD archetype. That kind of single-minded focus might not always be healthy for the individual but, for pushing back the frontiers of knowledge, it does come in handy.
We have shepherd's pie (lamb) and cottage pie (beef) and fisherman's pie (fish). They're all constructed in much the same way but the name refers to the contents.
It's just a misunderstanding and it's not important but there is a real non-obsolete reason these dishes have the names they have.
Nothing wrong with living with your folks for any reason at all. But if they won't let you contribute fully to the household expenses, put that extra cash into a savings account so that you have a deposit when you need it and so that you get used to having a real-world level of disposable income.
In the meantime, make sure you pull your weight at home. I used to have my dad on the phone in tears every week because my brother was living with him but barely even speaking in passing. If you're living with them, you must make sure they're getting your help and your company in return. It needs to be a good arrangement for all of you.
Because they're not relevant to the point I was addressing. How is that not obvious?
I have elsewhere said that she should face justice here. There has been no trial, no accounting for what she did and why, and no opportunity for the Yazedi she was complicit in enslaving to have their say about it.
You're not wrong about the nukes. You're wrong about Israel not needing support from the US to continue existing in its current form, which is the point I addressed.
In the early decades, they flirted with the USSR to keep the US onside. The nuclear threat now performs at least some of the same blackmail. But the blackmail is necessary because this is a tiny country keeping millions of people under brutal occupation. It is not physically possible for Israel to have the Occupation without bucketloads of funding from a superpower.
A country of less than 9.5 million people cannot afford to fund the occupation and blockade of 5.5 million Palestinians alone, still less make all the weapons required.
a housing shortage gives little reason to improve your shit hole century old terraced house you’ve rented out for 3k a month
At least in places where rents are £3k per month (implying a house price of £600k), owner-occupiers (and the mythical responsible landlord) can actually get the work done knowing they'll get it back when they sell. On a £100k terrace oop north (£500 rent per month), house prices can't rise enough to cover the cost of £10-15k spent on insulation.
There are a lot of terrible properties in London because the economy has renters over a barrel. But there are a lot of terrible properties elsewhere because London has the rest of the country over a barrel.
Are you charging for your performances?
