If you've been alive for more than 30 seconds, it's not just anecdotal. But to appease the challenge, anyways: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2020/demo/p60-269.pdf There's a massive imbalance between custodial fathers and custodial mothers. Even worse is the imbalance in child support negligence.

Can we please just admit that there are normal biological/social/economic/perceived/identity differences between men and women? That's not to say all of those differences are good or desirable, or that they are without variation, but can we at least recognize the state of our world without shunning those with different viewpoints?

Turns out there's a lot of historical context. Also, whether it was God or Satan who influenced David is somewhat ambiguous thanks to quirks in translation.

I display a clock at work that I proudly label as "Standard Time" year-round. Screw daylight stealings.

For those of us still naive ... Why does Lemmy say "Ubuntu bad" now?

I think it would depend on the books.

Isn't that the whole argument for banning some books and not others?

The daytime is basically our employer's time anyway, I'd rather not waste any more precious daylight on that part of the day.

I feel like this strikes at the heart of the whole DST vs. ST argument. As I mentioned in a sibling thread, it boils down to how much control we have over our own schedules. Instead of a mutualistic relationship, we've sold our souls to our employers. Shifting to permanent DST may be a temporary solution, but if we can't figure out a way to form healthy relationships and boundaries with work/school/etc, even those gains will eventually get optimized away from us.

This truly makes me sad. The Gardener museum is a gem that helps make Boston a wonderful place to live. If anything, these are the kinds of beautiful places that make dense urban areas, which are objectively better for the climate, more attractive to live in.

As much as I'd love to believe you're right, I can't rule out "sheer ignorance" from the equation... I've talked to climate activists who were truly detached from reality. For instance, one thought the only use of "nuclear" was in context to weapons, seemingly ignorant of it's peaceful uses for energy.

This reads a lot like the Indiana Pi Bill. Granted, that one never passed, but it's a pretty old story: politicians think they know better than experts.

There are only two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery.

Martin Fowler has a pretty good collection of these.

...or the cost of unethical behavior is greater than the cost of ethical behavior. In either case, we can't rely on the "ethical behavior" of any organization without changing the rules of the game.
