We actually don’t know if distance is quantised- while distances smaller than the Planck length don’t make any sense with our current understanding of physics, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the quantum of distance.

I don’t know to what extent this just me noticing this more, but is there a significant rise in pro-socialism and pro-communism content over the past few years in direct response to the increasingly obvious failures of the capitalist system?

Downvoting because no “rule” :(

I take umbrage with the idea that gravity is necessarily quantisable- for all we know, it can’t be quantised.

You’re absolutely right, I completely missed the part where he began screaming 😅

There’s also a significant portion of people who are spending money on things like Labubus and other luxuries because they have no optimism for the future, and would rather just spend their money on having fun instead of saving up for retirement or a home.

The podcast Let’s Learn Everything did an episode on this- the answer is that most fields of study under biology have different definitions based on their needs - there’s about 20 or so definitions in use currently.

*you leave grandpa and grandma out of this!

You can’t use the acts as evidence for this, since they’re internally inconsistent versus the other gospels and the Pauline epistles. Current scholarship clearly puts the blame on the Romans. This is backed up by Pontius Pilate being well known for being a brutal ruler, and not one who cared much for Jewish sensibilities.

This is almost certainly not true. There is no way Romance would cede such an important aspect of governance to the Jews, not to mention most scholarship having converged on the idea that Jesus was killed by the Romans for changing their sovereignty (claiming to be the King of the Jews).

Absolutely, there’s a lot more to it than just the genitals, but to be fair, everyone has a large number of differences from the mean- I’ve met bio women with very deep voices, with unflattering figures, who’ve experienced misogyny, etc.

Apart from the genitals, everything a trans person had that might differentiate them from a cis person can still be present in a cis person.
