Oskari Lahtinen devised a scale for measuring 'critical social justice attitudes' (with items such as, 'If white people have on average a higher level of income than black people, it is because of racism'). The average scores by gender and academic field won't surprise you.

Studies like this consistently find extremely high heritability of autism. Will this overwhelming evidence that it is a *genetic condition* receive any coverage? Of course not, because we're distracted by microbiome nonsense...

I just kinda wanna point out that this stat only exists because filing for divorce is an administrative task, men just abandon the house when they want to leave

“Sonsuz cehennem” direkt absürt, gülünç bir konsept, sonsuz olmayan versiyonu da öyle de sonsuz daha gülünç. Tutarlı bir ahlaki çerçeveye sahip kimse de savunamıyor zaten biraz bastırdığınızda, en temel sosyal ve ahlaki yargılarımızla direkt ters düşüyor zira.
