The sexual division of labor among human foraging populations has typically been recognized as involving males as hunters and females as gatherers. Recent archeological research has questioned this paradigm with evidence that females hunted (and went to war) throughout the Homo sapiens lineage, though many of these authors...
I bet subsistence leads to a level of pragmatism we haven't seen on a societal level since. It takes a certain level of your needs being met to start making up rules.
If the best hunter in the tribe is a woman... Get to it, we all want to eat right?
There are a lot of communities that were created in the last week but never had any kind of interaction or their mods never started to post to attract people (they don’t even have rules or a description)....
Maybe you could post a little introduction/welcome text post on the communities you want spared.
As long as there was warning, that seems like a good way to spare small communities that haven't gotten off the ground while getting rid of squatters who aren't interacting at all.
I sort by all and new and have seen a fair amount of posts from bots bringing over content from Reddit. A lot of it doesn’t have much if any engagement on here and as far as I can tell even if there was it wouldn’t cross back and forth between the two platforms....
Historically smart money is, far away from large population centers. There's a reason the French monarchy was forced to stay in Paris during the revolution.
Other smart moves would probably be - lose the controversial defense minister, blame it all on him, put Prigozhin in a prestigious but far-away position, wind the war down slowly while trying to find a "Mission Accomplished" moment to try and cool things down with the west, etc.
Almost nobody in a position of power actually does the smart thing in these situations, though. So, my popcorn is ready today. 🍿
There have been too many different topics on this Wagner marches to Rsotov-on-don situation. I'd like to centralize discussion here. Lets post updates all in this thread....
"I'm a loyal follower of his majesty, it's the good king's advisors poisoning his mind!"
And then you ride that wave of legitimacy and popular policy (We're gonna stop sending your kids to die for no reason!) into, well, something. Either power, force a compromise, or a horrible death. Seems like that last one was coming from all sides so why not gamble?
Either way I do not believe this is some 4D chess move by Putin. He could leave Ukraine today, throw a parade claiming victory, and I imagine the average Russian would just be glad it's over.
Chicken grown from animal cells, not from slaughtered birds, can now be sold in the U.S. The Agriculture Department issued approvals Wednesday to California firms Upside Foods and Good Meat to sell the products, known as “lab-grown” or “cultivated” meat. The meat is grown in steel tanks, using cells that come from a...
I could see more of a chance to reach the average consumer, once these alternatives get cheaper. Just shifting the dietary Overton window could be huge.
I don't see anybody going vegan because of this, but it might help convince some people that you don't need meat in every meal of the day.

Never thought I would get emotional about losing an app
I was with Reddit for 12 years and bounced between Rif and Apollo, I am sad I am losing both
Do we have a problem with squatters?
