Given the state of data harvesting I imagine purchasing a list of phone numbers associated with a given demographic is trivial.

I love winter. Cold, dark, and snowy are my jam. To be fair this may be an ingrained coping mechanism from growing up in Alaska.

I’m actually really surprised that males / females are born at close to 50 / 50.

A population in which births are overwhelmingly female means those who give birth to males have an advantage in passing down their genetic material. In your scenario a man will likely have more descendants than a woman, so genes that arise promoting male children would be favored. If you reverse the ratio and the population is overwhelmingly male then being female gives you an advantage and genes promoting female children would become favored. So you get a tug of war that balances out at roughly 50/50. This is known as Fischer’s principle.

One of my stranger experiences as a cashier was watching someone waiting to be checked out change their mind and start trying to abandon some ground beef among the candy bars at the checkout. Apparently handing it over to me didn’t occur to them. At least when I pointedly offered, “If you don’t want that I’ll take it.” they handed it over.

Thankfully no kids in the mix. I can imagine how that complicates things.

A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission alleges Donald Trump’s 2024 White House campaign and its related political committees engaged in a scheme to conceal who is being paid for much of the former president’s legal work in a possible violation of federal law.

Legal payments as in payments to lawyers not legal payments as in payments in accordance with the law.
