  • Stingless bees from the Amazon granted legal rights in world first

    Jump

  • I read the article but it doesn't specify what are "legal rights"? They obviously can't sue. They can't go to jail. I guess you could "deport" them but isn't that on the receiving country rather they accept them?

    If it's simply "you can't kill them or destroy their habitat" there are lots of examples of that.

    Not against the bees, we should work to have more bees worldwide but this headline means nothing and doesn't even offer an explanation in the article.

  • While I support people to find what ever relationship makes them happy, choosing a relationship type based on "that other group must suck" sounds like a horrible way to be.

    You want to be in a poly bi relationship great, go do you. But being like "I choose this because the others must be worst." seems toxic and hurtful.

  • I've been considering just making a spam email vs my regular email. I know there are "temporary" email services but they don't always apply. For example you are at a store and the say "you get a 5% if you give your email" and you want to use one of those one time emails what are you supposed to do? Stand there, take out your phone, "one sec, let me just spin up a email address to give you".

    Thinking of just creating a email account on say hotmail(just for the lols) and direct everything likely to spam me there. There is the argument "they will still track you and sell your data to advertisers who will send spam to that account". Yeah but 1.why do I care if I never check the account? 2. If I use Hotmail all it will do is cause increase cost to Microsoft so double win?

  • In a lot of places a parent working is basically pointless if they pay for childcare. A daycare near me was 600 a week. And that was only from 330(after school got out) to 600. If you work 9-5 but school gets out at 330 about 15 dollars per hour of your pay goes to daycare. If you make less than 20 an hour is that even worth working?

  • The state is making a list of transgender Texans. It’s using driver’s licenses to help

    Jump

  • While I support trans rights and think this list should never of been made, I'm shocked it's only 110 people in all of Texas.

    I would of figured the number would be atleast 10s of thousands.

    Even so though, who cares what another decides to call themselves? I don't mean that negatively. I mean if Jimmy now wants to be called Jenny... K. It doesn't affect me at all. All it does is make Jenny happy so why not call them that? If Sophia wants to Tom, my bank account doesn't change, my housing situation doesn't change, my job doesn't change.

    I will say I don't really understand why people want to change their gender. To me gender is meaningless. If you are a guy who wants to wear a skirt and blouse go for it. If you are a girl who wants to play football or dnd go for it. Rather your license says f or m shouldn't matter but if it makes you happy for some reason it should say whatever you want. If you are thinking of bathrooms... Don't make a mess in the bathroom and it shouldn't matter. If you piss/shit on the floor or attack other people in the bathroom you are an asshole, doesn't matter if you have a penis or vagina, you're an asshole. If it does matter, you better have separate male and female bathrooms in your home. Only reason gender should be important is in certain Healthcare situations but to my understanding that's "sex" and not gender. I'm not a doctor but I believe certain medical procedures need to be done differently, like I believe(saying believe because I heard it before but don't know it and don't trust my memory) anesthesia affects women less then men so their dosages should be higher. Now that I think about though, I wonder how hrt would affect that.

  • Room temperature IQ is a far bigger insult in Europe than America.

    Jump

  • I sometimes wonder what the kids iq would be... He is 12 physically but I would put at 3 max mentally. Not saying anything negative but being honest.

    He can use the bathroom but can't put his underwear on. He knocks on the door till someone comes put his underwear back on.

    Eating a bowl of cereal is 50/50 if he can do it himself.

    He likes watching blues clues, Thomas and friends, paw patrol. He yells the answer to most questions but I don't know if he knows the answer or just knows they say this so I should say that.

    He is severely autistic and epileptic among other problems. He is sweet and loving but how to measure what his actual intelligence I have no idea.

  • You are sorta right but missing the idea of inheritance. A man in Kentucky with enough resources to move probably didn't live in a trailer park or likely didn't go to public school. He was raised with a tutor and in "that house" in the town.

    Moving doesn't make you a better person but if you have the means your child is not growing up in that culture, maybe Kentucky but not in a trailer...

  • True, as I think about it, it may be an inverse parabolic function. Low wealth is lots of kids(need help to survive) , sustainable wealth low kids(I can support myself but no more) , high wealth high kids(I'm so great my genes must be passed on and I have the means to do so) ...

  • How does being wealthy cause low birth rates? Maybe the other way (less population causes concentration of wealth or maybe I'm so busy making money I don't have time to make babies) but I don't see wealth causing low birth.

    Are you saying people are thinking "look at this 6 figure bank account, we shouldn't have any children, we just need to increase it to 7"

  • I was almost killed by police years ago. I worked for a it company who was contracted to a credit union to basically be their it department. They were opening a new branch. I was there doing the final preparations as the grand opening was the next morning. Everything was done, I told the vp/cto/cfo who was my main contact that I would be back the next day but everything should be set so I was calling it a day. I had a notebook with passwords, ip addresses, etc. Which I left behind by accident. I walked out the door and there was 6 cop cars in a semi circle, cops behind their car doors, guns pointed at me, screaming "get down with your hands above your head". I'm not a fool so I got on the ground. Luckily the vp saw I left my notebook and walked out to give it to me before I drove off. He walked out and got same screaming. He basically gave them his name and titles and we were brought into the building and found the CEO.

    Turns out they installed a security system and the security company tested the system to ensure it was working. They forgot to inform the cops that it was a test. The best part was I was there when the cops gave essentially a ticket for false report to the ceo, I forget the cost but it was in the tens of thousands. The ceo took the ticket "thank you officer" and without missing a beat just turned to the guy from the security company "and this is for you". No question, no negotiation, just like you fucked up and I'm not covering it.
