    (I assume by gender you mean sex or cisgender.) The problems facing the two sexes are different and the expectations of them are different, at least in many societies. The expectat…

    Simple question: Does Russia owning more of Ukraine further the interests of the United States, European states, and/or NATO?

    In a normal timeline, the way this was going to get hammered out was behind closed doors where very serious people from the State Department presented a spreadsheet of options for …

    Thank you for putting it this way. I watched people scam VCs with drone tech, and Theranos, and other things. Can people please do any amount of critical thinking around this sort …

    I highly doubt that the poster did anything other than try and conduct business with the tribe. Thievery is thievery--if it's okay on a small scale now, it must've been fine on a l…

    This sort of thing should be a good example to point to when people say "Why are there spending cuts coming to public broadcasts and media?".
