This “mathematician” saying that the gender binary is some “western colonialist framework”, I have a challenge for him. He should visit West Africa and randomly talk to common folk about the wonders of transgenderism. Maybe that experience would bring him back to reality.🤣

A pet peeve I kinda have are parents who swear around their kids.
Many underestimate how much kids imbibe (consciously and subconsciously) what their parents do around them (consciously and subconsciously) - often to our peril.

I have an opinion which many will probably not like.
Being obese and eating unhealthy is a choice. Healthy food is very affordable.
I think there simply is a laziness factor at play. It’s easier to eat processed food than to spend time preparing meals.

The fact Milei spends a solid 5 min first attack and pointing out the philosophical roots of what turned his once great nation into a basket case before basically de-regulating the economy in one bang is for the history books and shows the power of the bully pulpit.
Javier Milei just gave a speech announcing massive deregulation of the economy in Argentina.
I liked how he opened the speech: condemning the philosophy that led Argentina to the situation it’s in today.

The crisis is deeper than that. It’s the number of kids not being raised by two parents. Social science conclusively shows that such is detrimental to the development of kids. When 70% of mugging in a city like Washington DC are done by under-18’s, we have a big problem.

I’ve always found it interesting that many of these types (who also tend to support foolish laws like this) who use almost every hour awake bitching about “racism” are oblivious to the use of minimum wage laws to price out black folk from Jim Crow USA to arpetheid South Africa.
It's the racist history of minimum wage for me.
