How is it an oversimplification? Affirmative action states that your requirements for getting into college change depending on your race.

You could say that it was good enough

And yet when people talk about negative ways to express and enforce feminitity, they never seem to use the phrase "toxic femininity".

So by your logic, if I order a human driven taxi, and the driver does something illegal, I should be arrested along with him? Obviously assumming I didn't threaten and/or bribe him to do that illegal action.

I don't understand, the whole point of studying a virus in a lab is to gather data on it.

Well, maybe the reason why those men didn't want to complete college is because they don't have the same support that women do (or at least, that's what they percieve).

If the meta-RCT shows that RCTs are efficacious, then RCT's are effective. But, if the meta-RCT shows that RCTs are not efficacious, that means the meta-RCT, which is also an RCT, cannot be trusted, which means that RCTs are still effective.

I don't think the U.S. government has the right to force a company to operate in another country.

Yeah, but that's also been the case for thousands of years.

> When my girlfriend texts me when I'm out with my AirPods, I think we'd both like me to hear her message in her actual voice rather than Siri's

And then you can use voice to text to text her back, and she can hear it in your voice! It's just like a phone call from 30 years ago, but one that requires infinitely more processing power!

Yeah, but human females can have more kids during that 15 year window, so that reduces the risk somewhat.

But you still end up with the problem where your caste determines your privilege; the only difference is which caste benefits. Wouldn't it be better to work toward a system where the caste has no impact on your opportunities?

Regarding TurboTax, I'm pretty sure the clients want the software to work slower; there are times when the software just pauses and says something like "Checking over to make sure we found all deductions", even though obviously all of that work has already been done.

Doesn't "neat" just mean without ice?

We don't need an alternative. I've never understood why we need to go through security to board an airplane, but not to board a train.

*Carmella, not Carmine, lol. Carmine is another mob boss.

Yes, due to quantum physics, the end products of comubstion weigh slightly less than the starting products. But this change is so minisqule that you can basically ignore it.

> This is unfortunately yet another gendered imposition, with women feeling like they have to adhere to a beauty standard that comes from the male gaze.

Beauty standards are set and enforced by both men and women. A lot of women dress up to impress other women, not just men.

> Most women in prostitution are from marginalized backgrounds and many are trafficked. Where is their freedom?

The exact same problem applies to migrant farm workers, but nobody is proposing to solve it by making farming illegal.

> Where does it say they were not allowed?

The first couple of paragraphs talk ad nauseum about how hard it was for women to become spies.

Positions of weakness are also predominantly held by men: the prison and the homeless populations are overwhelmingly male.

Algae isn't an experimental food; plenty of rich people eat sushi, for example.

> the name was picked for the movie because the letters are shifted by one from "IBM."

Actually, the IBM/HAL thing is just a coincidence, according to both Kubrick and Clarke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_9000#Origin_of_name
