You're adding parameters to say that women don't have as much endurance as men. Have a race in which everyone has to run the same speed and see how long they can do it. That is true endurance. You can't add parameters and say it's a true test of a single one.

The fastest marathon time for men is 2 hours 1 minute and for women it is 2 hours 14 minutes.

"Fastest" does not mean the best endurance. You would be looking at the "longest".

That's a ton of assumption and reductionism. This is frankly insulting. Your primary argument that endurance is meaningless only makes me think that it comes from many current popular sports that rely on fastest speeds rather than what the article was actually trying to convey. Women in the past could have and did hunt, especially given that many in several different cultures were buried with hunting weapons, and the article used the scientific nature of a woman's body to prove her endurance. Just because you discount endurance completely doesn't mean the rest of society is so closed minded.

Better doesn't always equal faster.

Better can equal going further.

Better can equal being more efficient.

Efficient means using less calories to do the same thing.

Yep, I use the end of a butter knife. You're fighting the pressure that built up rather than how tight the lid is screwed.

My dad's medical bills were over $100,000 in his first year of cancer alone. He had liver cancer which is generally hard to beat and by the time they found it, his liver was 1/3 cancer. It permeated throughout his liver and they couldn't cut it out. Chemo and radiation were the only options. He had so many drugs costing thousands of dollars each. He had a team of doctors, one for each organ system, including the oncologists. The last year or two, he spent more time in the hospital than out of it. That's no way anyone could afford that without obscene wealth.

God, the infighting. Maga really can't stand anyone who's not them.

Did you pay attention to the last four years at all???

People will stop consuming meat if dunno. meatpacking plants are full of COVID19 sickness and no one packs any meat.

That's not about prices being too high. It's about people being too sick to do the work...

There must always be as much profit as possible no matter who suffers*

[–] dragonflyteaparty@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (6 children)

I honestly don't get it. Why do prices have to go up even if wages don't? It seems like some people say that some kind of inflation is absolutely necessary no matter what.

Started posting this on a different account in a different instance that died. Is Wednesday WIP day? If not, I'm sorry and will delete the post.

 
 
 

I used rainbow yarn and added pink claws and horns because the rainbow skein just didn't have a very good pink.
