Modern Mongolia, perhaps. The Golden Horde of Genghis Khan was not so tolerant!

May I ask where you live?

I’m in a college town. State College, PA. Yes, it’s affluent enough to make home ownership unattainable for most. Even amongst the non-students in the area, financially independent young women simply don’t exist.

I own a yoga studio downtown and so I must admit that I talk to a fair amount of young women, albeit in a professional setting.

What’s weird about my observation? Do you know many young women who are financially independent?

Why are you upset about it?

State College, PA

I don’t know a single young woman (under 40) who is not financially dependent on a man, despite my wider-than-most social circles.

Also please don’t look at it

Yes. We’ll be ruled by a minority (Christian nationalists) because we think that downvoting on social media is sufficient participation in politics.

But isn’t this just democracy in action? The mandate of the people? If a majority vote for these principles then it must become the law of land.

The fact of the matter is that the fanatical Christians want results more than the left does. While we’re on here, uselessly upvoting and downvoting, they’re organizing their communities to achieve real world results. And except for a few notable characters, they’re playing by the rules of the game.

What part of this illegal?

There is nothing more speculative than evolutionary psychology.

My family has been doing this for several generations. My race is so ambiguous and I love it because I can jive with so many ethnic groups.

I’m 38 years old and I think I’ve read a “What We Know About Lucy Is Wrong” article every year.

It’s not surprising, of course, because this is the entirety of the fossil.

What are some of the harmful things that he’s attached his name to? I’m out of the loop…

I was just reading about how, in the middle ages in both Europe and in the Islamic nations, scientists required a patron who would sponsor their lifestyle and their experiments. There were hardly any universities at the time, except for Baghdad’s House of Wisdom, and so scientific pursuits were very individual, haphazard and financially dependent on whichever lord or caliphate who found your research interesting enough to pay for it.

Come on down to Penn State, my friend, where most research is absolutely dominated by military contracts and conservative philanthropists. I have a few friends who have transferred to other universities for this reason only.

One historian described him as an “anxiety-ridden nerd”.

TIL that Charles Darwin hated everybody and everything!

Is dark matter still a thing?
