Autism diagnosis does not really focus on social interactions. Difficulties in social interaction are a side effect but it is not how they diagnose the condition.

Most (like 90% or more) autistic people are low functioning. But they are completely invisible to people like you. When you hear the word you think of the border line cases that fa…

For the record no real feminist would publish this horseshit. It is one thing to advocate for better conditions for sex workers. It is another thing entirely to pimp young girls on…

The argument holds no water and it is pretty disgusting of this uber-for-porn pimp to pretend he is doing good. Porn is like weed. If you want to consume it ethically you need to v…

Yes in some ideal environment a sex worker and a pimp could have a mutually beneficial relationship. But that is not why pimping is looked down upon. And you made no honest attempt…

The author is trying to hijack contemporary moral outrage against legitimate cases of sexism to try to legitimize a pimp business.

They are literal pimps doing literal pimp work: recruiting young girls, connecting them with clients, and taking a cut of the profit, while keeping control of the whole business. I…

The article is not about sex workers but about virtual pimps and it is not advocating for sex workers but for the pimp's business. Big difference.

Looks like the porn industry is bankrolling a PR campaign to legitimize their business. It is particularly amusing to see them pretend they are feminists when in truth practically …

Don't buy drugs off the street or promote their use.

I have the same exact problem! I wanted to delete my account, just in case, but I cannot login. I haven't used Paypal in over 10 years. Their "service" is really not needed anymore…

I calculated fuel savings if I owned an EV. I did it for Germany. The fuel savings are basically negligible (it was about 200 Euros per year). This is due to high electricity price…

It's a psychology thing. People feel less if they are sharing a road with somebody who is sitting way higher than them. Also big cars feel (and probably are) safer (for the occupan…

You are right that you also have to include taxes, but you also have to account for the fact that taxes are dependent on income and coverage is always guaranteed. So it is not the …

That's no secret, ... that's exactly how it is supposed to work.

The "online" part is the inherent problem because suddenly every user has access to 10,000 other users, which creates problems for both sides. When you have people meeting irl, the…

>I think the main problem is that the prime selection criterion for most women is not looks. Says who? The men who do best with women are the most physically attractive. No other d…

You can make persuasive arguments that might not appeal to the scientifically literate rationalist, but will appeal to the somebody who is just using very crude heuristics and migh…

I see scientists who put themselves in the public sphere behaving like this mostly. They double down on the science, when people are questioning the whole institution rather than w…

The "anti-science" crowds are all about trust. They aren't anti-science per se. Education as it is currently done won't really help much because it is not focused on what are actua…

To me the electric bit is the least interesting aspect. Going with a cabin-less design is an ... interesting business strategy. What's the farmer to do when the tractor makes an er…

I use wolframalpha and convert everything to millilitres and grams as appropriate. Most times you don't even need to distinguish between volume and weight because wolframalpha also…

>The absence of these regulations will create room for businesses who would vet investments for you at different risk levels. Those already exist and are called managed funds. The …

Americans won't know this history. They also don't know that weak countries prefer to remain neutral rather than join NATO. Joining NATO also makes you a target. US tried hard to g…
