Or stronger notions of what body types are compatible with the gender role they perceive.

Edited to clarify it’s what they perceive as their gender role. Ie the sexist notion that “it’s the duty of a husband to be strong, and the duty of a wife to be dainty”

So if Mark (believed to be the oldest Gospel IIRC) was like 20 when Jesus died, and then ~100 years later his story was written down. He was writing it down when he was 120? Seems more likely that Mark’s 3rd generation students wrote it down after they realized that nobody had even second hand accounts of what had happened. Right? Mark had a mixture of first hand (things he saw) and second hand (things he heard about from people that saw them) accounts, his direct pupils had second & third hand accounts (things Mark told them, and they learned through correspondence with other Christian witnesses), but after 100 years those guys are dying too.

How do they compile all the teachings they’ve received? How much of what they were taught was Mark and how much was Jesus?

It seems like not a good way to get the message out…

Jesus died so that whosoever believeth in him shall not die but shall have ever lasting life… but don’t worry about like writing any of this down or anything for like 100 years. What does it mean to believe in him? I think that’s clear enough, we don’t need to elaborate.

Yeah I blocked him/ them after the mod insisted that Russia is a “down right democratic nation”, and then didn’t meaningfully engage with any of my followup/ clarifying questions.

That’s not a political view, that’s an alternate reality.

I’m actually opposed to banning the community though. I don’t want to give him the satisfaction. As you suggest, Just block it and get on with your life.

Totally.

I’m not sure it’s that simple. I think if you offered someone 150k to do the job, they’d do it for long enough to build some savings then quit and live off of that while they found something more fulfilling to do.

I think that really the only way to keep people in that job is for them to have terrible alternatives.

The job was to put a small piece of metal into a machine (brake press), push a button, and take the now slightly bent piece of metal out of the machine.

The metal is part of a hinge for something like a knee brace. The factory makes a bunch of metal components for different things but didn’t make the whole knee brace.

I guess the company could try to get a higher price for the part, or just say they don’t want that contract… but people need knee braces. So yeah, I don’t feel bad about selling them a robot. Some jobs are just better done by machines. The issue is wealth concentration.

Maybe a worker’s council could have found a way to make the job less bad.

So I work in industrial automation, and live in a high cost of living part of Canada.

Back around 2017 or so, companies said we were in a labor shortage. I sold a few robots to factories that couldn’t keep people in a few of their jobs (I’m thinking of two different small factories). These are tasks that are so boring that people lose their minds. The factories would hire someone and they’d quit after a week.

When the cost of continuously hiring new people became apparent, they bought robots.

I’m sure it wasn’t scaled or normalized at all. It’s global annual deaths.

It would be interesting to see what percentage of annual premature deaths they account for in countries with any deaths.

Ie lions and hippos are presumably a much large percentage of annual premature deaths in countries where there are any lion and hippo deaths, whereas mosquito deaths happen in many more countries, and homicides in basically all countries.

I’m actually quite shocked by the number of lion and hippo deaths.

I love to be pedantic so I’ll point out that it had to be 3 equal mutually perpendicular golden ratio rectangles

Are they being kind by dropping the matter?

I believe they are sincere that they just want this all to go away. It’s self interest though, not kindness.

Are they pretending to be strong when they know they don’t have a defamation case? Or did they include that to silence her?

I think what they are saying is “shut up or the lawyers will make a lot of money”.

I know a lawyer at Roper-Greyell. The firm specializes in defending/protecting companies around employment law. They probably also consult on best practices for companies to avoid suits.

They are a law firm, but they are LMG’s law firm. Note that we’re reading what LMG wants to share about the report, not the report itself.

It’s a legal strategy to say, “Investigators didn’t find anything seriously wrong, and we’re considering suing you for defamation”

A lot of the other replies to your comment read between the lines in some insightful ways. I would just like to also add that “claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated” means that the investigation didn’t find evidence. Not that the bullying/ harassment didn’t occur. It is kind of meaningless without knowing what information was looked at. What sorts of substantiation could reasonably be expected from the investigation?

It’s possible that the person making allegations has evidence that the investigators didn’t.

Does anyone have an analysis comparing the Fremen of Frank Herbert’s Dune to the the Aiel of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time?

It’s kinda hard to illustrate them taking turns picking the fruit and equitably sharing what they pick each time. What happens if a third person shows up. Or if one of these people is selling the apples for export to a prosperous country and the other is feeding the destitute in their village.

But you don’t need to know the co-ordinates of perfection to know which direction is better.

Lol

These are aspects of genocide not stages.

For example:

1 Discrimination can start before symbolization

2 The government doesn't need to create specific groups to perform actions

3 Genocide doesn't need to include extermination

Fantastic analysis

The person you asked your question of claims to be a biologist, but you dismiss the relevance of biology.

…basing on biology is clearly flawed…

It sounds like you might be more interested in an answer from a sociologist. Or are you asking the biologist to argue that basing it on biology is not flawed?

Using hydrogen doesn’t emit carbon. But the principal way hydrogen is produced is called steam reformation. It’s a process that turns methane (CH4) and water (2* H2O) into hydrogen (4* H2) and CO2 (i think, I’m not an expert). So all the carbon get emitted as co2. So it’s not better, and there are a bunch of inefficiencies too. (The reformation process itself, and transportation challenges, and leakage). But theoretically, it does centralize the emissions which would make them easier to sequester so there’s that.

I bought it on PSN for a similar price to play with my son on my ps5. Yes it’s overpriced but we’ve had fun.

I don’t think the KGB felt like the CIA were always ahead of them.

Aldrich Ames is an interesting character to read about for example.

Can a business transact with an animal?

If a crow puts a toonie in a vending machine, and manages to buy chips does it legally own the chips? Or can an agent of the business that runs the vending machine confiscate them and keep the money?
