There is a good amount of evidence, much of it studied, (and much from the transgender community, but not just there) that there is -something- inherent in gender psychology besides hormones. What it is no one knows, but there are clear exa

I didn't read the actual study, but from the article they are basing this on the amygdala size being bigger but the male brain also just overall being bigger. My question is: What rules out the bigger size itself (irregardless of overa

Libreboot is just a more strict about freedom coreboot from what I understand. As in it is literally a fork/derivative of coreboot.

Everywhere i've worked that has actually cared about hours meant 8 when they said 8. My current job (as stupid as I think it is) requires me to be at work and not on lunch for 8 hours a day.

And truthfully, it is going to depend on the person to at least some extent as well. IMO, anything that doesn't include being at work as part of your actual job duties should have no number of required work hours. You either get enough

Common Lisp for all of my hobby programming. Edit: Well not all of it. I'm also learning rust and scheme in my free time.

I was under the impression it was usually lower taxes (partially selection bias due to it being lower for myself). As the other commenter points it, it is complicated and sometimes lower/sometimes higher to file jointly. Interestingly,

You may take the stance that we need less children due to overpopulation problems. Either way though, people having kids is what continues America's and humanity's existence. This is the whole idea behind lower tax brackets for ma

GNUs is notoriously hard to figure out how to config (though once I got it configured I've never had to mess it up again) but is the primary email client for people who want to directly grab their email in emacs instead of using a thir

How is it holding anyone hostage? How does someone posting opinions on reddit, twitter, or whatever harm you in any way? Unless they are harassing you about it (in which case first step is to block them), I don't see how this is a prob

I don't see the article's point as a good one. Unless they are literally calling for people to take action and kill/harass/otherwise harm people I see no reason to "censor" them. From what I've seen, most

What if all the major places of discourse ban your speech? Isn't that basically the same as the government doing so? Sure, it doesn't violate the constitution but it still is a serious issue.

One of the big problems here though is thing like twitter's recent behavior(I'm using twitter as an example but other sites do it too). You can say something hateful, disrespectful, and even threatening to/about a white perso

Technically you are 100% correct. They are definitely within their rights, as are twitter and facebook. The problem is that we've got a de facto (as opposed to de jure) "censorship" system going on where people with undesired

How would you see that? It isn't the real world where you could see less people around or something.

Mine certainly doesn't. I use an official CM build for my phone and I still had to root it if I wanted that (which I did). Then, barring exploits of which I'm sure there are many, I have to approve each app that wants root access.

Note that I dropped the word married here in my proposal. It would be a civil union, not marriage. In any case, the legal advantages are things that make it easier to live together permanently. As far as I'm concerned, if we moved to m

Why are you focusing on taxes? Current government marriage is too tied to religion anyway. Make all government "marriages" be civil unions, no tax breaks but all the legal advantages such as sharing insurance and not having to tes
