Cousins really aren't that genetically similar. Many won't share any DNA at all. Even assuming that expressing recessive traits would reduce IQ, the occasional cousin marriage would not be enough. You would need generations of cousin breeding between the same handful of families for that to happen.
I don't know if the "pink tax" is real or not, but you're under the false assumption people are rational consumers. They aren't and are easily exploited. That's why marketing is a massive industry.
Do you think he's being manipulated? Do you really believe that? Do 19 year olds not understand the implications of a sexual relationship or is that you just think their relationship is "yucky"?
I'm not interested in "combatting" the truth. It is clearly true men, on average, are more violent than women. It is also true that violent men are still a small minority of men.
Exactly. If people were to just change their time preference, 9 times out of 10 they can make their way out of poverty. All you need to do is save up a bit and invest, but people are lazy and want things now, so they try to ise socialism to steal from people who were smarter and invested properly. I'm glad I'm not the only one who understands this.
The right/left divide makes perfect semse if you actually study political philosophy or history. It's about equality vs inequality. At the right end you have feudalism and at the left end you have communism. Fascism is actually very similar to feudalism but obviously more contemporary. Fascist rhetoric concentrates on the need for strong leadership, obedience (though they will call it "unity"), and meritocracy.
It's very clearly defined as a political philosophy advocating state control of the economy, state enforcement of social moral values, single party, and ethnic nationalism.
The focus of the research is different. One was looking at the psychological and social effects of child birth and rearing on women at different ages, thr other was looking at the genetic effects on children caused by the father's age. I don't really see any bias.
I think you're just cherry picking. There is plenty of evidence that shows that older woman have more issues during pregnancy that might adversely affect the child
First, it's normal to be a virgin at 17, don't fret about it. Also everyone feels awkward going in to new groups, that doesn't make you socially awkward or anything. this also doesn't belong in this section. check out the side bar and if you have more questions ask in /r/askseddit
Hypersexualizing isn't sexism. Men in video games are depicted as buff, macho, grunts. This doesn't make videogames sexist against men, why would it then be sexist against women? Now if there was a video game revolving around beating women senseless there might be a problem. Edit: I am talking about something completely unrelated. Forgive my late night ramblings
Upwards of 220 volts administered -- the average amount of electricity used to run a home. that is so incredibly wrong I can't take the rest of the article seriously.
I find that hair style is a good indicator of age for women. I don't really know what to look for, I can just tell by her hair. Not extremely accurate, but pretty good.
Im new at this myself but when I find the conversation dying down I ask random questions that pop into my mind. things like "If you could take one drug and experience no ill effects, what would it be?" "Whats your favorite vegetable?" "have you ever (insert fun and interesting activity that I have done in the past here) ?" just whatever comes to mind. Sometimes ill tell them a riddle.
Im going to try to be as direct as possible, as I think thats my greatest weakness. I can hold a conversation with girls just fine, but I have a lot of trouble escalating beyond friendly small talk. figured I would document my results for science.
