- Comment on OP has a realization 1 week ago:
Seriously, you think building a world-separating spacetime bubble that can instantly travel lightyears away is believable, but that programming it to stay on a smooth predictable course along an orbital path is NOT believable?
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
I don't understand what you don't understand. It's in so many soups and recipes because people like it. Most people love chocolate, but there are a small number of people who hate it. Different people have different tastes. It could be genetic, it could be a bad association that built up in your formative years, or whatever.

- Comment on Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common? 2 weeks ago:
Eh, if you believe that god is omnipotent then it's not really hubristic to think that god can easily have a personal relationship with every living being, which includes you

If someone scripted my life then he needs a massive kick in the nuts

- Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it. 3 weeks ago:
This planet isn't in our solar system. We've found 6,053 exoplanets already, so it's a safe bet that there's lots more of them than you're aware of

- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 4 weeks ago:
I think it should be easy to identify when an account is being shared. For example if it's used from different ip addresses within a short amount of time
- Comment on Is there a word for when someone is not capable of, or doesn't try to understand verbal communication in a language, they are fluent in similar to functionally illiterate but for speech? 4 weeks ago:
If you can't understand a language then you aren't fluent in it.

It sounds like OP does want to get together with some of their family, they just don't know how to deal with that one individual
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 4 weeks ago:
Just politely say "I don't want to talk about that, let's talk about tv shows, what's your favorite comedy right now?" (Or whatever other mutually fun topic you want to talk about.) If he tries to keep talking about the topic just repeat that you're not gonna talk about that and offer a second new topic. If he still wants to keep talking about it say "alright I'm gonna go talk to someone else about a different topic, I'll catch you later", then walk away from him

Ope you're right

I think i can understand what you're saying. Unimportant sidenote, it's spelled carcass
- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 5 weeks ago:
I'm not vegan and I'm here to tell you that your argument isn't valid. Whoever invented a word doesn't get to permanently declare exactly what it means down to the tiniest detail. Words change meaning over time. I would guess that especially new words change over time. The word "awful" originally meant full of awe. The word "terrible" originally meant a thing caused terror.
It doesn't matter what the creator of the word thought.
- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 5 weeks ago:
It is going to be eaten no matter what. The chance of it being eaten is essentially 100%. So i can't see how that's part of the equation.

- Comment on Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments? 5 weeks ago:
I'm not sure i understand the cough thing, is it because that's what they would do as their biggest sign of upsetness?
- Comment on Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments? 5 weeks ago:
For me it depends on the type of yelling. If it looks like anyone might be in danger then I'm super activated, or if it's an adult yelling at a kid then I'm very upset, but if it's something like a boyfriend and girlfriend arguing about something juicy then I'm like oooo!

But that's exactly what i explained above. It's not that also using women's voices would've been harder, it's that doing so would've been a worse study design, as explained in my initial comment and in the quote from the paper that you copied here.
A good study narrows down factors to as few as possible.
