The common name comes from the Romans, who ate them as a delicacy.

First paragraph.

I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word "Unsubscribe".

My process:

  1. Cut in half
  2. Remove core
  3. Cut in quarters
  4. Peel.

If only sex was as simple as a selection of gametes. There is a wide range of chromosomal, hormonal, genitalia, and physiological variation in human sex characteristics, and it is much more common than you think. And that is ignoring much more subtle variation and overlap between the sexes - cognitive, emotional, psychological - that are just as much a part of the natural variation of human sex as any other.

And before you come back with an argument about some rhetoric about "conditions" or what ever - all of evolution starts as a rare variation that becomes common in a certain population. Certain eye colors are nearly the same rarity.

Finally, there are plenty of animals that have individuals that do not reproduce. Examples are naked mole rats. We aren't a eusocial species, but it isn't to say we don't have some very early characteristics of it.

Yeah, let's not hyperanalyze bike sustainability. If you are riding a bike for commuting, you are drastically more sustainable than if you chose to drive. There isn't any strong reason to try to muddy the victory.

Money. Donate. There isn't a near term world where money won't matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.

That's also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.

I mean, you can say the same about every form of entertainment. Music? Majority is crap. Movies? Crap. Sports? Crap. Books? Crap. Video games? Crap.

IMO guaranteed child welfare (including universal lunch) is 100% consistent with any major political idealogy that is internally consistent.

Libertarianism? The whole basis is the personal choice, autonomy, and the ethics of consent. Children fundamentally cannot consent. They still, however, individual agents. They simply are in a state where social order defines their outcome. As society, we must then take this to maximize their outcomes and ultimately their personal liberty - when they reach an age where they can operate with it.

Therefore, we have to choose between depriving others of a relatively small resource, or depriving children of a major resource: the nature of their ability to participate with full autonomy and personal liberty.

The choice, in my opinion, is very clear.

This is a proportional interpretation. The cost of data storage has absolutely plumetted since, say, 1990.

It still doesn't really make much sense in a world where the vast majority of things are replicated. The only things that would give them worth are things that cannot be replicated:

  • Specific real estate
  • Experiences
  • Favors?
