@DeepExplorer649 @cremieuxrecueil Records get lost .Especially when cities suffer earthquakes, tsunamis, fire-bombing etc

@cremieuxrecueil "in some cases, they never existed" How is it possible for people who never existed to be registered in the first place?

After a supposedly 111-year-old man was found to have been dead since 81 and unreported so his daughter could keep collecting his pension checks, Japanese authorities began investigating the country's oldest old. They found a mess.

@PavlosProkopeas @FromKulak Nope- we can cross the road wherever we want , buy a proper drink at 18, don't have Home Owners Associations, and don't get shot as often as some folks that I could mention . Or run over quite so often.

@FromKulak Everything is illegal in the UK except purchasing a mortgage and, under very tight control, a pint.

Chemistry Youtube is weird because half of it is Americans pyromaniacs are like "Buy these two ingredients at the hardware store, they don't even ask for ID, then buy this basically ready made detonator at the gunstore... The whole thing should take half an hour including driving time and cost you $10 and reliably take out a hardened government building if you shape the charge with these mixed size baking bowls". Whereas then you get to like genuine chemistry and hobbyists youtube in like Canada or the UK... And its like "So we need this to do [perfectly normal thing], but that's illegal because it can be used in explosives, so we need this instead as a precursor to make it ourselves, but that's illegal for the same reason, which usually we'd create it with this third precusor, but that's also illegal.... So today I'm going to be showing you how to use forced air electrolysis to generate pure nitric-acid, and how to derive raw ammonium from common bleach by using a series of centrifuges made from old ceiling fans, all without detonating your house or killing yourself with clorine gas.... just like the 1880s German Chemist Hans Von DiesHorriblyStein, who was posthumously awarded the then new Nobel-Prize. And this is the simplest way I've found to fertilize my greenhouse reliably enough to grow blueberries year-round."

@FromKulak This is the origin of the saying " pour encourager les autres"- attributed , I believe , to Voltaire.

In 1757 The Royal Navy did the unheard of... They shot one of their own Admirals. Why?! It was not for Treason, treachery, or debauching the king's daughter Nor was it one of the daily fiascos America now suffers He had failed to do his Upmost...👇anarchonomicon.com/p/never-excuse…

@cremieuxrecueil Interesting. Wonder if this applies to Muslim cultures or other religions that require abstinence from alcohol

Neat! Although people with higher IQs do tend to drink more, they're less likely to be alcohol abusers. There's a practically linear negative relationship between genetically predicted IQ and the risk of alcohol use disorder:

@HazelAppleyard_ done

Like this tweet if you think tr&ns women are men. Go on. Dare you. No one will know. 😉

@TERs_are_EVIL @jo_bartosch I thought Ms Bartosch's comments seemed reasonable and measured . But I would like to understand your perspective . Please could you explain to me what a gender identity actually is ? Thanks

Here is the witness statement for #RachelMeade's court case. The accusation of 'transphobia' was in part b/c she shared one of my articles. Delighted she won, here's what I said- sharing for others to use as its a potted 'why sex matters' explainer.

@MsMartha15 No- Antisemites like you are Nazis.

Zionists are Nazis. Show me the difference.
