HIV: the homosexual cancer, Reagan, lesbian role during the early epidemic, modern advancements and chronification of an otherwise deadly disease, hope: u=u and the Berlin patient.

Because before editing it was drawing wrong conclusions from the data. If you torture data long enough it will confess to anything.

Sorry but if Indigenous people are like a 3% of the total population and that table shows absolute numbers, you have the per capita calculation very wrong.

It's not a new dating trend, it's a new name for something old that apparently news outlets want to make trendy and will follow the steps of "flexitarian".

If your way of making money makes you really fear people will be mad at you, you should be asking yourself what's wrong with your way of making money. That is, if you care. But if you don't care don't whine.

It's a mixed bag. I didn't know the channel so I went for something I'm familiar with. Some expressions are really well documented, and the voice is a native speaker, but they make him read a tale at the end that has a couple of clear machine translation flaws.

I don't follow, what's your proposal for them?

That looks like an extension of the handicap principle, which is quite blindly accepted (like the alpha males thing) but has not a lot of evidence.

There is some real signaling that looks kinda handicappy, like the ancient Chinese growing long fingernails: at first sight it was detrimental to their ability to do manual work. But it actually isn't because they didn't need to do manual work. That's different in my opinion from botching one's face, as they see the procedures as an improvement over the alternative of looking their actual age. They are fleeing from the wrinkles, and that face is a consequence, not a goal.
