  • Have you heard of the Rohingya genocide? Buddhists absolutely do fucked up shit.

    I would agree with you that not all religion is bad. But singling out Christianity and Islam as the exclusively bad ones is absurd. All religions have some really important things to teach us philosophically, but at the same time, pretty much every religion has been used to justify some pretty bad atrocities.

  • ...that's not what secondary sex characteristic means. As the article you linked says, that just means physical characteristics unrelated to the reproductive system that differ between the sexes. Some of the other examples given include the Adam's apple in men and longer arms relative to height in women. While some of these things can be sexually attractive or related to sexual attractiveness in some way, certainly we don't societally put them in the same sexual category as women's breasts.

  • I don't like her views on pseudomedicine, and there was some troubling reporting on how she's verbally abusive to staff, but on basically every important political issue she's better than most mainline Democrats. The soundbites and debates definitely made her sound weird but on 1-1 interviews she seemed fairly well-spoken and with admirable ideals and moral consistency. When most politicians on both sides of the aisle are supporting crackdowns on migrants, tariffs on renewable technologies, and genocide, it definitely seems to me that some weirdness isn't really the top priority here. At the very least she was the best candidate, policy-wise, on the 2024 Dem primary ballot.

  • I see this a lot in car-dependent cities... the street entrance is closed and you have to go through the parking lot, which just sucks especially if the neighborhood is otherwise walkable.

  • If you don't want people driving who aren't in a mental state where they should be driving, then you need good viable alternatives to driving. Otherwise people will continue to suck it up and drive when they are tired, sick, stressed, had a single beer, etc.

  • shrimp colour drama

    Jump

  • The way mantis shrimp see is nonetheless super cool and interesting. They likely have no conception of 2D color at all, and can only sense the 12 different colors in general. Furthermore, only the midband of their eyes see color, when the eyes are moving and scanning for prey, they don't see color at all, which probably helps offload mental load for their small brains. Once they do see something, they then stop moving their eyes to determine the color of what they're looking at.

    Also, mantis shrimp have 6 more photoreceptors in addition to the 12 colored ones, to detect polarized light. They likely see them the same way that they see color, so they probably don't consider them anything different than wavelength which is what we interpret as color.

    Ed Yong's An Immense World has a section on this and I'd highly recommend it. The ways animals sense and perceive the world are often so different for ours and it's so fascinating.
