Even then would be pretty recent considering human history, and I have a feeling that like you said that’s very narrowed down through both region and religion.
Though funnily enough I grew up (middle school and high school) with kids from 2 different Mormon families as two of my closest friends, and knew kids from 2 others. Each of those 4 families had a minimum of 5 kids, and each one of those kids as far as I know, both guys and girls, got married by 23.
But it was normal in Europe to be betrothed as young as 5, and married at 12 or 13 for centuries.
If you go to the east, Akbar the Great was married off at 9.

People throughout history have been married way younger.
It’s only a very recent phenomenon in 90% of the world that people don’t get married by 22. Even go back to the 80s and 90s which weren’t that long ago - getting married under 25 was exceptionally common
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 week ago:
Yes that’s exactly what was happening

Im not trying to be mean or anything, but how active and how healthy were you eating at that time?

Honestly there second someone starts talking during a game I just go and mute them. 99.9% of the time it’s really annoying. Once in a while you get someone who actually knows what they’re doing and talking about, isn’t a dick, and actually gives good advice or help. But that happens so rarely it’s not worth it

Universally got trashed but I honestly enjoyed it and still do on a rewatch

Actually no there isn’t. Black voters voted in majority for kamala. Even Latinos voted majority for kamala. She lost some percentage points with those groups, but by far and away white men and women voted for Trump, not for kamalcanif your only recourse in each election year is to hope you get enough black and brown voters to win you the eldtion, then maybe don’t alienate all those voters and tell them their concerns don’t matter for a year before the election.

With sexism and racism I feel at least that’s a good place to have a conversation with your kid and show them why exactly it is wrong though uk?

I would be worried about disease first, but if it’s your own cells maybe there’s less chance? Prions are terrifying
My second question would be taste
If there’s no disease and it tastes good then fuck yeah all in

It is definitely also steps and supplements in addition to dehydration
- Comment on Kids 4 months ago:
First off, weird to point out that they’re “age appropriate”
If your kid reads above the age level and understands it that’s generally a good thing
Number two I don’t get why this is such a weird concept on how to explain things to a child. Seems pretty normal and “age appropriate”

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suite is it
- Comment on Oregonian driving 4 months ago:
I commute 5 hours a day for work, and have to go in 3 times a week. I take the train now, but still have to drive 25 min to the train station. Taking the train takes exactly the same time as driving to my job. Which by itself is ridiculous. Up until recently, the option of taking the train in was not available. So I spent 5 hours in my car. The price difference between moving closer to work Vs living where I am right now is almost 2.5k a month. I don’t get paid enough to pay 48 to 52k a year in rent. I work in cancer research. The jobs are in the city, not outside. So I don’t have a choice, because every company that does what I do is in the city, and doesn’t do remote work.
I have a feeling you don’t really understand how things work for people sometimes

Again, go pick up a history book. Glad to be blocked by a racist and a fool
- Comment on the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth 4 months ago:
Yet ignore the entire part where I talk about the non Christian world. And advancements before Christianity advent, which is not attributing that to Muslims. Do you have some reading comprehension issues?
- Comment on the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth 4 months ago:
Pretty sure Persia, India, and China all had great empires and knowledge well before Christianity was even a little sperm cell in the Judean god’s sac but sure
Which btw most of foundational mathematics was created in the Eastern and Persian world, not by Christians. And it was from there that the Greeks got their knowledge. To the point Pythagoras was not the one who created or realized the Pythagorean theorem, it was just named after him because of the western world. And that was a couple thousand years before Christianity existed.
The literal word Algebra comes from Al Jebra and his works.
So yeah you’re just racist and misinformed.
- Comment on the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth 4 months ago:
What does that have to do with anything lmao
King Leopold murdered ten million Congolese. The British empire 100 million Indians. The dutch started the slave trade.
- Comment on the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth 4 months ago:
I hope you’re just really misinformed and not just really racist but you should take a quick stroll to your local library, buy a few history books and look around.
Christianity has been far more brutal and repressive for a lot longer than pretty much every other religion out there.

They actually literally did. That was a huge part of the crusades.

Honestly I’m not conservative in any sense, but I think raw milk is better for you and tastes better. I’ve been drinking it since I was in high school and I’m much older now.
We boil the milk, use the fat to make butter and ghee, and use it to make yogurt as well.
I’ve drank the milk raw enough times and never had a problem as well though usually we do boil it before.
Less chemicals, preservatives, pasteurization in general leads to a healthier gut

That’s why you add caps to rent and interest as well, so that that basic income legitimately does go into people’s pockets and therefore the rest of the thinking
- Comment on I notice Indians speaking English tend to speak very fast. Are the Indian languages simply spoken faster? 9 months ago:
Fairly nonsense If anything I’d say it’s the other way around – there are lots of words in Hindi/Malayalam that you need 5 or 6 English words to describe
