The U.S. apparently hasn’t been starting enough wars lately.

“Research published in 2021 by Vescio showed that people who embrace a particular kind of traditional masculinity — women as well as men — were more likely to support Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections. Other studies have indicated that hostile attitudes toward women were associated with support for Trump in both presidential elections, as is the perception that the U.S. has grown “too soft and feminine.”

There is a negative correlation between education and support for Trump.

You also went to college presumably during COVID. So I’m sure that didn’t help.

Their response:

““Elon Musk wants to silence his critics so he can continue to give a megaphone to hate and misinformation while avoiding the consequences.” - CCDH CEO @Imi_Ahmed”

“We stand by our research and won’t be intimidated by Musk’s threats.”

Lol.

The idea that a minimum wage increase causes inflation is a Fox news fantasy, not real life.

“Historical data supports the stance that a minimum wage has had a minimal impact on how companies price their goods and does not materially cause inflation.”

It is difficult to detect and can cause debilitating chronic issues. Why on earth would you not support preventing this disease?

For python there’s jupityr. It’s mostly used as a lab notebook by data scientists and I’ve barely used it but I think it integrates notes and code. It looks like some people are trying to make it work for javascript.

It sounds like you’re taking the pregnant person out of the equation as a thought experiment and then stating that this clump of cells that has the potential to become a person should have rights of its own. Even then it’s a little hard to argue since “potential” is abstract. And what is the value of potential? It’s human, so does that give it rights? Does it get rights as soon as an egg is fertilized? Or does its rights grow as it starts getting more human-like? Why should this clump of cells have more rights than, say, a full-fledged penguin? I don’t think this thought experiment is very useful to anyone without a religious belief in the specialness of human embryos.

Yes but a mine can kill a real life person who can be injured or die which has a real world negative effect on society. A person having an abortion has no impact on society outside of some lame thought experiment. Have you read this famous essay about the morality of requiring someone to continue a pregnancy?

That is a little nitpicky. The article you linked says medical schools do have doctors take the hippocratic or similar oath. The relevant part from the hippocratic oath is pretty much what people think of when they think “do no harm”:

"I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous."
