The glaring hole in the argument is that people who say that ancient humans "lived" only 40 years are wrong and mix up several basic concepts.

The most important one is "lifespan (longevity) vs average life expectancy". Ancient humans lived more or less the same number of years we do now. But deaths at birth and infancy were a lot higher, which is brings the average expectancy down by so much compared to now.

So no, having children in their teens didn't have anything to do with "seeing them grow up because we'll be dead by age 40".

If you're inclined, I recommend that you all watch Megyn Kelly's interview with Steve Bannon yesterday on Rumble.

It doesn't matter what you think about the election, the Corporate State regime, or a specific candidate. It's happening anyway and it's a lot of fun to follow and dissect.

Same applies to Bannon. He's obviously a brilliant political strategy mind, and if you watch the interview through that lens, you can see how the guy just can't help himself and even though he's basically out of the game (for now?), he goes on Kelly's program to push, push and push whatever messages and slogans he has already concocted in his mind.

I don't know what BNPL is but the second graph does not truly reflect what's going on in Spain, it may be that right now adjustable rate mortgages are a minority, but as a whole, they are more than half of the total.

The farmers signed the deal and the politicians will be voted in again. We get what we deserve collectively.

Shame on the farmers who signed the deal with the "center of right" communists in power.

A literal liberal, that is someone who wants free markets amd private property as derived from the non-aggression principle and the absolute right to oneself, yes, obviously.

Socialist progressives, who believe the State is a morally legitimate economic and social actor with the role to "redistribute" private property and "provide public services", not so much.

If they want to fool themselves either believing they are leftists while supporting an inherently anti-State technology, or by believing they can turn Bitcoin into a pro-State technology, that entirely a "they" problem, not a Bitcoin problem or a liberalism problem.

It's incredible, reading the dissenting opinion, how it's all really right there, perfectly spelled out:

"Congress knows that it does not — in fact cannot — write perfectly complete regulatory statutes," she wrote. "It knows that those statutes will inevitably contain ambiguities that some other actor will have to resolve, and gaps that some other actor will have to fill. And it would usually prefer that actor to be the responsible agency, not a court."

That's right, you dumb bitch. So DON'T write them in the first place.

Same reason people do not actually understand that taxation is theft yes, but more accurately, it's slavery.

US population in

1940: 131 M

1950: 151 M

1960: 160 M

1970: 203 M

1980: 226 M

1990: 249 M

2000: 281 M

2010: 309 M

2020: 331 M

plus all the illegal residents at each corresponding moment.

Has the construction of homes consistently kept up with this 250% inflation of the population? In Western Europe, that's basically the problem -- population inflation vs unfree markets that do not allow homes to be built where they are demanded.

I guess the Democrats needed this to finally put forward whoever they've gotten ready to replace the old man. There are multiple advantages, one of which is that whoever it is, doesn't have to do this debate anymore. The old boy took the bullet for him/her.

Of all my anti-Trump American friends and acquaintances, the fiercest ones are the life-long 50 year old and up Republicans. They're by far the most brainwashed and pro-status quo, and as a consequence the most anti-Orange man.

THAT WAS THE BIGGEST LIE

I just watched the snippet about Biden's 6-handicap and Trump's "HM-MM, NEVER" and I'm having a heart attack and an aneurysm while farting through my nose laughing,

In this case I'm sure she's glad no one will actually remember, while she has actually gotten the cash.

I see it's for small parcels, kind of Takkyubin style I guess. So trains aren't good for that.

The article says the 23 billion cost would be for a 300 mile tunnel, which in my opinion makes no sense whatsoever. Such a tunnel is impossible to make, and if it were possible it'd cost orders of magnitude more than $23 B. But I could see a tube or similar device running parallel to the shinkansen and radial last mile delivery by truck/hand from the stations along the way.

Anyway I think that Japan's social specificity makes it the perfect place to deploy driverless trucks and that's what will happen in the end.

People need to be aware of the website first. I know about it and check it, and still keep forgetting it exists.

I didn't think so xD

I think you wouldn't have any problem if you brought your own boat over here. What you may not be able to do is rent one locally. Although I am certain many British tourists and residents do, so I don't know. You don't have any sort of piece of paper that says you "can" handle a boat, at all?

Are we ready to have "the conversation" about Assange's politics, now that he is free?

I have been unequivocal all these years (before he was put in jail, all the way back when Sweden fabricated the sexual accusations against him in the first place) in my outrage and support to him.

But to me it's one of those cases in which a libertarian simply applies the golden rule that freedom is for those whose opinions one opposes, first and foremost.
