“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

If it's a crime, do not fire them, lock them up in pris-

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the actions "treason" and has initiated criminal proceedings.

Cis guy here. Based mod.

 

This article picks apart a bunch of biases by the researchers of a given paper. The object of study was the differences in behavior between a group of autistic people and a group of non-autistic people when choosing between prioritizing value for oneself or value for the community.

I recommend reading the paper itself too. If that is, understandably, too much for you, I suggest you go for the introduction, the conclusion, and the segments mentioned in the article.

Google:

Roughly around 86% of people in Sweden speak English. The level of English spoken in Scandinavia is high

This is the one time where you're entitled to assume that the foreigner you're speaking to can speak English, anon.

By the looks of things, one or more mods decided to delete all comments in the thread. I don't think that's something that should never be done, but it should require enough transparency to disclosing the reasons.

What the hell happened to the comments in the other thread?

 

On the eve of WWII, Paris hosted the 1937 Expo, and the USSR and Nazi Germany had their exhibitions placed on front of each other.

The German pavillon was crowned by an eagle holding a swastika, symbolizing the authocratic nature of the regime, while the Soviet one had a man and a woman standing together and holding a hammer and sickle, with both pavillons ultimately appearing to be opposing each other.

Neither of them could have asked for a better vehicle to represent the narratives they were constructing for their own governments.
