The theory proposes that hunting was a major driver of human evolution and that men carried this activity out to the exclusion of women. It holds that human ancestors had a division of labor, rooted in biological differences between males and females, in which males evolved to hunt and provide and females tended to children and domestic duties. It assumes that males are physically superior to females and that pregnancy and child-rearing reduce or eliminate a female's ability to hunt.

Oh boy, what a load of bullshit to start an article that may very well have a solid point. I lost all interest in reading at this paragraph.

"It holds" - as if there was only one theory - and everyone who believes that men were mostly hunters and women mostly gatherers would be guilty of the assumptions mentioned thereafter.

I, for one, only ever heard that due to men mostly hunting (because women were busy with children), men evolved to have a better perception of moving images e.g. small movements of prey in hiding, and women evolved to have a better perception of details of inanimate objects (e.g. finding things to forage). And that explanation - while not necessarily correct - made sense, and is in no way the sexist bullshit that the article insinuates.

The author of that article is not doing feminism a favor by basically alleging "all who believe men evolved to hunt and women to gather are chauvinists".

he’ll vote for Trump but he’s not a True Believer.

If you support fascists, you are a fascist. Period.

And you felt like responding to me instead of the previous poster whose insecurities led him to lash out like that? Right on, nothing wrong with your brain, keep living your life just like that...

Can you guess which tags I have over your username?

"triggers my insecurities"?

That is indeed the way it appears that the west is viewing this conflict. A great way to make extort a lot of money from taxpayers for "not enough to live but too much to die" support for Ukraine, and it's perverse that the powers that be don't even blink at sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainians for that.

And come to think of it - a shorter conflict would also mean less Russian lives lost.

Capitalism is murderous. :(

and you're a little cutiepie who needs a hug. smooch

How weak is your position if the only "argument" you have is pretending to quote something that you invented yourself?

Boo fucking hoo, you were wrong and come crying here about "tankies"? You are the exact same, just on the opposite side of the political spectrum. Get some self awareness. NATO is a bunch of warmongers who managed to get Putin to do the greatest PR coup for them just as they were losing significance - and now they could be important because at this moment Russian regime is the greater evil. But instead they do fuck all in helping Ukraine to a decisive victor, proving again that those shitstains just want to prolongue the conflict to line the pockets of their buddies in the military industrial complex. Disgusting fucks, all of them!

*nucular. It's (pronounced) nucular :D

Interesting read but I'd argue a fish is a concept by characteristics, not considered a biological classification. Much like mammals.

Fish: has scales and fins and a swim bladder and gills. Sharks are not easy to classify as fish, and whales certainly are not.

Again, thanks for the article, it was interesting to read indeed.

I was thinking figuratively of the UK as a person, and of persons as bipeds...

Because the amount of organizations needing data backups / protection far exceeds the amount of available qualified IT personnel. So instead of training themselves, they hire morons who say "sure I can do your IT"

german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook… Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.

While this is true for me(*) - partially, it's not a fear, it's a certainty that my data is not secure anywhere online - I would be positively surprised (but kind of doubt that) if younger people actually think consciously about their online privacy.

* never had myspace, deleted all my facebook posts, comments, contacts & then account in 2012 when they changed the terms & conditions to own everything you upload - and before then I had never used my real last name there

Wenn Deutsche messerstechen, ist das okay. Aber wehe, es ist ein braunhäutiger Mensch, dann kommt die Höcke-Gestapo um die Ecke. /s

ah right - forgot UK still has one foot in the medieval ;) thanks for the clarification!

Thank you for the summary! I found myself in OP. I am eating mostly vegan, and I have a cat, and I believe people who force a vegan (or even vegetarian) diet on their cats need mental help.

CPS is? City Prosecutor ... ??

as to 1) - that's judged differently in Germany - in part to protect victims of domestic violence who will often "change their mind and not want to" press charges after filing an initial report.

2. in that case, yes - but again, if it's a criminal offense, the victim has an obligation to testify, even if they have no interest

3. I have no idea how the funding of our judicial branch looks like atm

Assuming the only evidence for physical assault isn't just the victims statements (but even then), I feel that both crimes are currently being ignored.

To go back to the example of Germany: If you accuse someone of a crime (directed against your physical well-being or property) here, towards authorities (e.g. police) and then say "but I don't want to press charges", that no longer matters - they are obliged to record a report of a potential criminal offense and leave it to a judge to decide on how to proceed.

I guess I should have clarified in my original comment that I was exaggerating - obviously, C++ doesn't get as bad as python, not even into the same ballpark.

My emphasis was on "don't use C++ like you would python" because that's not good advice imo.
