Sexual assault and violence is the biblical explanation for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah according to more and more modern biblical scholars. The Christian's who hate the gays should instead direct their bible and politicians at Israeli soldiers and their government.
Don't trust Christians to interpret Jewish literature. They're still struggling with the "immaculate conception" of the "virgin" Mary. This was common enough that the rabbis weighed in and set the precedent for "technical virginity" (anal) that was later attributed to Catholics.
The residents of Sodom were directly offered Lot's virgin daughters, and they politely declined, preferring to sodomize the angels Lot was harboring. God glassed both cities because the city was full of degenerates that held nothing sacred.
Lot's daughters both raped him immediately after fleeing the city and nobody had anything to say about it, so rape cannot possibly be the offense the Sodomites were punished for.
Unfortunately that is how it works. A vote for the green party is simply a vote not cast for D and favors R; and a vote for a libertarian is a vote not for R, so it benefits D.
A solution is Ranked Choice Voting where you can say, "Green, and if they don't win, D (or whatever)."
Fwiw, I vote my conscience, not to win. Not the best for my political positions maybe, but I hope to send a signal to others that maybe something other than R/D is one day possible. But, yeah, RCV would help with that conundrum.
Forest Ecosystem and Watershed studies in South Carolina. You can't study that from the new location. Nor the invasive species and forest health in Michigan and Minnesota. No more Spotted Owl and Old-Growth Habitat Monitoring.
This is irreplaceable regional ecological knowledge, university partnerships, and long-term datasets that took decades to build.
Tom Schultz is the first Forest Service Chief overseeing this; first Chief ever hired from outside the agency's career ranks. He came from the private timber industry (Idaho Forest Group).
Instead of timber trade partnerships with Canada, we are preparing to gut our national forests. Call your reps and let them know what you think. Not sure what else we can do.
Being "technology" doesn’t make something interesting. A writeup of the author about their work would have been interesting, but they haven’t even published the code nor written anything about it.
Flagging is not the only strategy. At 7 hours It's already been pushed to page 7, rank 196 alongside posts from days ago. No one else will see it. Mission accomplished.
Was it flagged? I haven't seen that and was wondering why it isn't flagged yet. Reports of harsh realities aren't usually allowed to ruin the celebration of money-printing schemes here.
The lack of self awareness you display is impressive. Grade A troll or bot. As someone who sometimes misses things, I find it mildly interesting when someone is so confidently not on the same page as others. Good luck.
This is an interesting question. Neoteny is the preservation of juvenile features into adulthood and is a hallmark of domestication. Humans have been undergoing self-domestication so features like rounder faces and softer jaw lines are persisting past sexual maturity.
We _know_ the human brain is finishing its development in our early to mid twenties, maybe 10 years post puberty. This extra brain development likely needed for our advanced social and tool needs, and is a unique niche for humans. Our hidden brain development does make a difference. Other primates don't display this.
I assume you grew up in different circles than me. I have seen countless kids shrugged off growing up poor and around drug addiction. I have heard the rich shrug them off to boarding school sometimes.
