I think the abundance of trans women (≈ women who were raised as boys) is proof the social conditioning the only factor in why there aren't more women in STEM fields. Women love this shit just as much as men, but they're actively steered away from it.

(Yes, women face other challenges beyond lack of exposure, but I think all of them can be traced back to social factors as well, such as how men are conditioned to treat women.)

Same. But I'm not expecting them to come for me, or if they do, I expect it to be late enough in the process that's I'll know to expect it. The odds of any particular individual being among the first of their cohort to be attacked are very low.

I'm trying to find ways to think bigger, though, because doing nothing while waiting for them to get around to me isn't the legacy I want to leave.

What's the elevator pitch for Wilson being terrible? All I really remember about him is the League of Nations and some limited involvement in WWI.

Too bad I spent much of my childhood down the street from a private airstrip!

Sorry, we get the Harlan Ellison and of civilization, not the Iain M Banks version.

It's not complete, though, and most people will only recognize in retrospect that it was happening at all. Kind of like how people are with genocides, now that I think of it.

I think the idea is that you have to build a monstrously strong deck to progress.

Soon, I bet. But you're pretty much guaranteed to die if you do, so people have to be really desperate.

I'm an American and I'm here to tell you that Americans who say shit like that are just pretending to care about free speech, if they even understand what "free speech" actually means. They're fascists trying to defend fascism while using the idea of free speech as a way to avoid admitting that's what they're doing.

Oh, just because he said "Heil Hitler" that makes him a Nazi? https://youtu.be/zvgZtdmyKlI

You clearly have no idea who has guns, or why they have them, or what their actual stances on gun regulation are. But you're quick to heap scorn on people you don't understand based on stereotypes, and you're quick to make demands of them. You've done a great job convincing me your opinions are worthless.

You seem to be under the impression that gun owners are a monolith. There are lots of leftist gun owners you never see because they keep it on the down low.
