Meh. It’s getting a lot of hate here, but I think it works well in casual short term planning. Context (July) - > precision (15).

If I want to communicate the day in the current month, I just say the day, no month.

You do realize “ban TikTok” was originally a Trump initiative right?

One, there isn’t some governing body for the term “Tankie”.

Second, the definition of Tankie means supporting China and Russia (TODAY RUSSIA) only because of their authoritarian policies, regardless if it is anywhere adjacent to actual communism or not.

For example, many Tankies will support any action Russia takes (which we’ve seen with Ukraine) if it opposes “the west”. And no one can argue that modern Russia is even kind of communistic.

Not just transphobic: Intersex-phobic and libelous

If only sex was as simple as a selection of gametes. There is a wide range of chromosomal, hormonal, genitalia, and physiological variation in human sex characteristics, and it is much more common than you think. And that is ignoring much more subtle variation and overlap between the sexes - cognitive, emotional, psychological - that are just as much a part of the natural variation of human sex as any other.

And before you come back with an argument about some rhetoric about “conditions” or what ever - all of evolution starts as a rare variation that becomes common in a certain population. Certain eye colors are nearly the same rarity.

Finally, there are plenty of animals that have individuals that do not reproduce. Examples are naked mole rats. We aren’t a eusocial species, but it isn’t to say we don’t have some very early characteristics of it.

There are definitely financial incentives, they are just underground now. Which is worse in every way.

*It is definitely not too late to mitigate a ton of suffering. *

I’ve said it elsewhere: environmental nihilism is deeply unethical. There is a ton we can do to minimize damage and restore the environment.

No they don’t. They don’t understand that industry emits carbon because we consume their products.

Tax collecting and tax paying are two different things.

IRRC, tax collectors had a lot of power and not enough oversight.
