So if you really think about it, threatening them at guillotine-point into dismantling as a class is really just best for everybody.

Also, relevant Wikipedia: Puyi

Let's steel man your argument and say you're 100% correct. Throwing away your vote or not voting is still morally better than voting for someone who won't commit to not enabling a genocide.

And that's assuming your predicate is correct, which it's not.

Does Baldur's Gate 3 count as a turn based RPG?

I think she's going to win

Maybe, but we've seen this before. No one thought he'd win the first time but pollsters strongly undercounted his supporters, who didn't respond to polls to begin with. Liberal arrogance played its role too, of course, as it usually does.

Pretty much all but the libertarian party. Turns out if enough people vote for a candidate they get elected. Weird huh?

Fun fact: The United States actually has more than 2 parties

Considering the inability of Buffalo police to exert the self-control needed to keep themselves from cracking the skull of a senior citizen I'm sure this will go great.

It's a valid and valuable question and for my part I actually regret grouping genetic with familial in my wording as a social family can be just as or more important than genetic family, something any of us but particularly those of us with shitty genetic family members can relate to.

That being said I think anthropology as a field can be as valuable as it can be ethical, so essentially the information from it can only be valuable if it comes from no contact or unintrusive contact. I think the toughest question is how to make that contact unintrusive though.

Is it just me or does the Marriott 'M' look like two towers falling over?

I thought clan implied genetic/familial relation whereas tribe implied purely social relation but that's just me, who is not an anthropologist.

 

You know what thread I'm talking about.

Edit: Sorry, I saw so many fellow bears there that I assumed everyone knew about it. Since there's been a few requests, here's the link.

 

Was reading about The Offspring due to this post here: https://lemmy.ml/post/2628198

As I read their Wikipedia page I noticed that Dexter Holland (lead singer) has a PhD in Molecular Biology. Then I remembered that Greg Gaffin (lead singer) of Bad Religion has a PhD in Zoology.

Is this a trend in Punk Rock or am I noticing a freak coincidence? If not punk rock, is there any genre that stands out in its number of highly educated artists?

 

For me it's Planetina. While the whole episode was as chaotic as any episode, I felt that her arc through the episode was extremely deep for such a brief appearance, rife with symbolism and philosophy.

 

Even if we're subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they've managed to overwhelm my feed.

I tend to like the volunteer-read audiobooks on librivox and recently was curious about their Sherlock Holmes books (never read or listened to before), but I'm wondering what else is out there and popular in the community.
