"Gay uncle hypothosis" people that don't reproduce increase the likely hood of children surviving, by providing resources to those they love that do reproduce.

Vigilante justice only feels nice when you agree with the Vigilante. The curse of internet bubbles is that people feel like everyone agrees. Bubbles build extreme values and a lack of understanding of other peoples values.

You become right. Others become bootlickers.

Why would the act of going home change the legality? Or intent?

If i take a $20 bill and hand it to a stranger in front of witnesses and say, "Here you go, this is a gift."

If in 5 mins, I snatch that bill back and walk away. That's legal? Because he didn't touch his house first, and I never had intent to give a gift?

I don't think Eugenics or racist is the correct ideas to use here. Less population just means smaller. Not a specific phenotype of human needs to be culled from existance. Just a smaller population.

All biological systems have population limits, and lots of evidence points that humans have passed those limits by quite a bit. Normally, there would be a population collapse due to food scarcity, but humans are capable of pushing those limits with agurcultural science. That doesn't mean that there are not huge determental effects on the world as a whole for there being an never ending exponential growth of people.

The stories are just the evolution of the fables of gods walking the earth as men. Comics and fables have some pretty deep meanings. Yes, they are unrealistic. But they are not nonsense.

Intresting paper. It is not the conclusive evidence that you think it is. It's ok, reading science is hard.

Paper concluded that the vegan diet did not seem to have adverse effects, but they had a very small sample size and the expiriment went on for a very short duration.

And then they site scientific papers that disagree with their findings. So there definitely is science out there that disagrees with the vegan diet being ok.

I mean if they wanted it to be effective, the Germans shouldn't have designed it with holes in the first place.

This is evaprotive cooling tech. These things have existed for 1000s of years. They are called zeer pots.

The water evaporates through the outter clay pot and the latent heat of vaporization causes the water to cool drastically. Same exact principle as an air-conditioning unit, but it's not a closed system, so you have to add more water. And waters energy from vaporization isn't as good as a refrigerant. And it'll only work well in a dry environment.

I have to say without condoning it, his hate speeches have brought him hate. I'm honestly surprised this is the first attempt.

It's interesting times to hear of an assassination attempt and no one I've talked to Republican or Democrat is shocked. It just fits Trumps style of politics.

I lived in Phoenix Arizona where 52 C was the peak of the summer heat. I'm not sure how one would have a regular life without AC. Sleeping in that type of heat is very hard.

I had a truck with no AC and driving around with the windows open was like opening a convection oven door and letting the fan blow on you.

I saw something speculating jews shot space lasers to start forest fires. Luckily, I understand speculation isn't fact.

Why Genocide? That word gets thrown around a lot. Might feel good to say, but words have meanings.

Why not say it is a deliberate and largely coordinated program of institunalized emotional abuse? Or similar language. Using the wrong emotionally charged word makes an argument fall flat.
