Fun fact: we know that the keeping of domesticated cats spread to England at least by the time of the Roman occupation, because we found a 2000 yr old roof tile there with a cat’s pawprint in it. It’s funny to imagine a clayworker 2000 yrs ago yelling at the cat to stay off his tiles lol.

astutemural@midwest.socialto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•2024 Election, If Only Men Voted.English102·7 days agoIt’s not misleading, that’s how the electoral college works lmao. 49% of votes could go to the second-place candidate and the first-place candidate could still win every single electoral vote. The system doesn’t care about people’s votes, only the electoral votes matter for presidential elections. The map shows exactly what it claims to show.
astutemural@midwest.socialto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•2024 Election, If Only Men Voted.English21·7 days agoRemember that the electoral college is not a direct vote. As long as there are more votes in a particular state for Candidate A over Candidate B, A will get all of that state’s votes. If this happens in every state, then A gets the entire nation’s votes without any representation of anyone who voted differently.
Also remember that anecdotal evidence is irrelevant on the scale we’re talking about.

astutemural@midwest.socialto AskUSA@discuss.online•What do you think minimum wage should be?English9·18 days agoMinimum services, not minimum wage.
Guarantee food, housing, healthcare, transport, etc to every person first. Then we can talk wages.
astutemural@midwest.socialto science@lemmy.world•Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should careEnglish306·20 days agoEverything you wrote is nonsense. Pointing at a process that often occurs - evolution - and then working backwards to claim that organisms must feel pain when they don’t reproduce is completely antilogical. Evolution may be caused by feelings of pain or suffering when otganisms don’t reproduce, or it could be something completely different. You are putting the effect before the cause.
Trying to do evolutionary psychoanalysis on something as cognitively complex as a human is practically guaranteed to give you wrong conclusions. What’s more, this sort of bullshit is part and parcel of a lot of bioessentialist rhetoric, so if I were you I would definitely consider revaluating a few things.

astutemural@midwest.socialtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Why would anyone want to parallel park. I'm going to bed.English21·20 days agoThat would just be several hundred square miles of parking lots with the occasional Denny’s. There are plenty of one-horse towns like that, please don’t fuck up our cities because you are obsessed with your car. We have to actually live here.

About 80% of their traffic is mopeds, and they park those things anywhere there is space, including sometimes in the lobby of the building they’re going to (most buildings are open-air anyway).
