You are delusional both about Musk and conservatives.

Absolutely, My kitchen scale remains accurate and can use the same battery for years.

IMO 99% of Phallus claims are infantile amateur psychology. To call something that grows naturally, and isn’t even man made a Phallus symbol is particularly weird.

Xmas trees are originally a northern European solstice or Yule tradition. Because there was very little green in the winter.
Probably it was to celebrate the end of the days getting shorter, and a sort of marking of a new year, and to be reminded of the greener more pleasant seasons.I have no idea where you have the idea from, that it should be a Phallus symbol?

Really? You are asking this?
When I search “shoehorn” literally the first hit is a steel shoehorn. - Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I don’t understand this? We try to only have Christian non LGBT teachers and teaching material, why isn’t it working? /s
- Comment on Explain why the US bail system is not insane 1 month ago:
Logically it favors the rich, just like every other aspect of society.
So I guess it’s no more insane than so many other aspects of society, like how Musk can get paid more by Tesla than every single worker working there. - Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 2 months ago:

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
Remember in 2016 there were LGBT for Trump?
It was absolutely insane!! No it doesn’t make sense, but there are always a percentage that are delusional, and sometimes they manage to convince others.
Probably there are people who actually believe they don’t deserve equal rights, this can be indoctrinated through religion, and religiousness in USA is VERY high.
There are probably also people who don’t see themselves as part of one of the groups even if they clearly are.
Remember the MAGA woman who was extremely surprised when her husband was expelled because he was an illegal alien? That’s how stupid people can be!
Because it’s “all the others” not “me” they think. - Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
That doesn’t seem realistic. I don’t see how you can vote for Trump 2024, and claim to be a moderate.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
Yes I agree, but only because they are a capitalists first and a human beings second.
They love him because they are morons, who don’t know they are engaging in self harm.
It’s sad that people of power, like for instance Elon Musk and the people behind Fox are so stupid they can’t see they are digging their own graves. - Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
USA as a society is mentally ill, where sociopathy is often seen as a virtue. For instance denying poor people health care and food, denying pregnant women with potentially lethal complications the right to abortion. Allowing (white) people to kill (black) people without reason based on stand your ground rules. Refusing stricter gun rules despite countless school shootings.
The list of sociopathy permeating US society goes on and on.
Now I know that despite this, about half the population see the problems. The other half, somehow confuse Trump’s sociopathy with strength, and admire him for it. Yes this is how it is in USA, sociopathy is widely admired, people want Trump to hurt people, the poor, emigrants, people of color, LGBT. Many Americans want all these people to suffer, for no other reason than their mere existence. Somehow this is OK to even extend to women in general too.If you are a normal well functioning person, it’s near impossible to grasp that hate can be this widespread, and Trump is fueling it, and before him Republicans have been fueling it for decades.
This makes all the hateful illegal stuff Trump does nearly irrelevant, people simply don’t care, they just want to see the people they hate burn. It’s not that Trump isn’t called out at times, it’s just that it doesn’t really make a difference.

- Comment on How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news? 2 months ago:
You are 100% right, the downvote must be some creationist.
- Comment on How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news? 2 months ago:
It’s a thing that evolved among humans over millions of years. Men evolved bigger stronger muscles, because women are more vulnerable during pregnancy, and infants need their mother to survive.
Making men more available for the more dangerous task of protection and hunting.
So by the numbers, we evolved those roles, because it improved chances of survival for the group.
Males are more aggressive, because it actually help the group to survive short term attacks and hunting for food, and women are cautious because that helps infants and the group survive long term.
It all boils down to survival of our ancestors. - Comment on How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news? 2 months ago:
Yes obviously there are women serial killers too, I never claimed there isn’t, I just claimed women are less prone to violence, which is a damned hard statistical fact.

The thing with serial killing, is that it is very difficult to hide.
Some of the hardest cases can be for instance a nurse at a hospital killing in a way that appear natural.
But even that gets detected quicker than you would think, because while 1 killing can be a fluke death, already at 2 killings, it can throw off the statistics and cause an investigation. With 3 it’s almost impossible the incidents can’t be tracked back to the person who did it.
An other situation can be a woman who kill their husband for inheritance, and then does it a second time. That second time is usually enough for alarm bells to sound for families of the deceased. Resulting in more thorough police investigations.Obviously it can happen they get away with it, but I’m confident by far the most serial killers are caught, because it’s insanely difficult to hide multiple killings.

it’s impossible to know why more serials are men
I disagree, it’s part of a pattern where men are generally more violent than women.
For all we know, the numbers could be the same, and women are just better at getting away with it.
No this is NOT a possibility, since serial killers are generally caught.

This is not just modern age, this is how it has been for as long as our knowledge reach back.
Some say testosterone makes men more aggressive, but the problem is that the difference in aggressive behavior can be observed before sexual hormones kick in.
Another possibility could be social structures.
This article says there are 2 theories:
www.ox.ac.uk/news/science-blog/roots-aggressionOne being male competition for reproduction, and the other social.
Problem is IMO, that it doesn’t swing with behavioral studies of children, that to me seem to exclude both as the fundamental course for higher male aggression and tendency towards violence.
Seems to me it goes deeper, yes we do have competition for reproduction, but so do women, and women can be quite competitive and aggressive about it too, but generally in a less violent way.A third possibility that may have a play, is that in a society where mankind consisted of minor nomadic groups, the men had a role of protecting the group, while women protected the children.
This role for the male, needs the male to be less prone to fear of consequences of violence, giving the ability to confront danger, where women protecting the children were probably more prone to evade danger.So yes you could say it’s based on a social role, but that role is not learned, it’s a genetically encoded social role.
Now there is a curiosity in that women have actually become MORE prone to violence for the past 50 years. And the above hypothesis does not explain that.As I see it, there must be new factors playing a role that did not exist previously. I suspect it’s an increase of hormone like chemicals in the environment.

There would be 2 fewer extreme MAGA judges in supreme court.
The same level of MAGA corruption would not have been possible.
January 6 would never have happened.
Trump would not have the same legitimacy and platform to constantly scream his MAGA hate message.
Trump would likely have been judged much sooner for the crimes that were revealed during his first campaign. So he might actually have been in prison by now. - Comment on Stay Mad 4 months ago:
Just because you are still voting Biden, doesn’t mean you don’t care.
It just means you still don’t want the raving malignant narcissist Trump.
Any somewhat normal person would be the obvious choice over Trump. Any person who is not clearly a traitor to USA and Democracy would be preferable to Trump. - Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
This is why I as a multi billionaire believe we need to work on plan B on Mars.
I know that won’t help the billions of people left on Earth, but at least they can die peacefully, knowing that the richest people will have a chance.

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
Yeah no reason to go to the moon if we can’t visit other planets yet. That’s the kind of logic you are arguing.
The vegan argument is to not contribute to animal suffering, you can’t control what other people do.
And avoiding suffering doesn’t help because there will still be suffering is about as stupid as it gets.
