  • So I do believe there is a significant and even growing misogynist/ child-bride/patriarchal-women-as-breeders-every-man-deserves-at-least-one element among Republican policy makers. But, I think the majority of Republican voters aren't looking at the specific intent of these bills and simply think it will never happen to their daughter because fill in the blank superiority complex, and that's what really pisses me off. Evidence of a well-fortified barrier to empathy.

  • This is what I've heard, that basically if we were stomped back to single celled life today, evolution would not have time to bring back visible plants and animals before the earth became uninhabitable. So there's no starting over. I admit it kind of depresses me.

  • I remember that and tried to find him, but it looks like there are whole law firms doing it now. Probably worth it if you have a good backlog of records. Also, now that I think of it, the guy I remember did spam faxes, which were outlawed before do not call. He worked on other people's behalf, too, pocketing some of the payout.

  • I see it all the time I think, but maybe my standards are low. Often what I see the traffic isn't quite equal in both lanes, so it's not abab, but people see the guy ahead find a space and they pick a space behind the next car and so on. It's there more to it? Like if someone doesn't get it, you just continue the zipper behind them, right?

  • It allows the city to suspend a landlord’s rental license if police answer four or more “nuisance” calls in a year. Before that, a landlord can be fined up to $500. This is in the city from this article, but across the us apparently there are lots of different limits and definitions of nuisance. In general I don't want landlords making health and financial decisions for the elderly.

  • this article describes the law more completely.

    the city gave landlords weekly reports over five years revealing personal medical information of renters who received multiple emergency calls to their homes.

    In at least 780 cases, the city also shared details about mental health crises and even how people had tried to kill themselves,

  • Ok, the article is written badly, but the source is not much better, at least the intro you can read for free.

    I propose that Machiavellianism is positively related to environmental activism. Forming alliances and leadership are likely effective strategies in the context of environmental activism, which involves convincing other people to change their environmental attitudes and behaviors

    So like, the dysfunctional extreme of a behavior is positively correlated with the high end of a normal functional behavior. Is that news?

    No comparison with activism for other causes. The author still strongly supports environmental activism.

    Also it was literally a questionnaire given to a few hundred people in one town in Germany. It's hard to believe people are wasting their time peer reviewing this high school science fair level stuff.

  • We have a 2013 Leaf. Cost us $8k seven years ago, battery's as good as it ever was, great around town or commuter for a 50 mile round trip commute (longer without defrost the whole way). Seriously the most fun car I've driven since our old manual bmw. The newer ones have bigger batteries if you drive more each day.
