Don't worry, the AI overview links to fallout.wiki... Seriously, it does, but I'm very much sarcastic when I say "don't worry".

Yeah the complete lack of paid parental leave for fathers upon the birth of a child in many otherwise progressive countries really rankles me - in NZ, if the mother qualifies for PPL, she can transfer some to the father. But if she doesn&#x

I'm a father, have had sole custody of my five children for 8 nearly 9 years. Both parents have the same responsibility to their kids, to do the absolute best for them, and we should fight back against outdated cultural norms that assu

If you really think that's the main cause, I'd be interested in your sources.

I expect their employers to go out of business because their business model is predicated on paying workers as little as possible and not investing in things that improve productivity per worker. If you think this will lead to large scale u

And for some strange reason, the person you're replying to is _not_ one of the highly paid executive remuneration consultancies. Gee, wonder why they only accept advice from people that tell them to give executives more money?

So you're comparing China "proper" to Europe "whatever that is" ...? Not exactly apples and apples mate.

I spotted the same thing, and there's never a source given. Allegedly his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather (or 15th great-grandfather for short) was totally Han, the

Your comment sent me to Wikipedia and this caught my eye [0], a Late Shang inscribed rhinoceros rib, which then deepened the wikihole [1], it's funny how even though I know of the Indian rhino and Sumatran rhino, it never occurred to m

Why not both? Seriously. The USA's current leadership cabal certainly appears to be dancing to the tune of several corrupt world leaders. Even when they contradict each other. Trump is threatening to bomb Oman? Trump is talking smack o

> “I fear for the day when a visitor's National Park experience is interrupted by being pulled over and held at gunpoint because a license plate reader misread their plate.” Yep, doesn't sound pissed off at all mate.
