@LudditeHacker @kitten_beloved It’s my understanding they have in fact had substantial Bantu admixture over the past centuries.

At k = 2, you get Africans and everyone else
K = 3 gives you Africans, Europeans and Asians
At k = 4 amerindians pop out
At k = 5 you discover melanesians
You can keep going into smaller subdivisions, there's no obvious stopping point

If humans used the same metrics they use for every other animal there would be 3-6 different human sub species but because thats not politically correct they lie and say there is only 1.

@Bozartian Peter Green and Fitzgerald are both great. I appreciate Green’s because it has footnotes.

Hektor’s reward being eternal glory? “Still, I would not / die without delivering a stroke, / or die ingloriously, but in some action / memorable to men in days to come.”
And how does the poem end? “So they performed / the funeral rites of Hektor, tamer of horses.”

Virtues the Greeks respected: selfishness, trickery, lying. Virtues the Greeks did not respect: nobility, piety, patriotism. Hector and Agammemnon had the latter virtues, and Homer made sure to show you their rewards.

@RyanGirdusky A plurality of German voters of course say their favored government is a Union-AfD coalition.
English
@RyanGirdusky Things get really interesting if AfD ever polls around 32 percent which is probably the absolute most they ever will. Because in that scenario, it’s quite possible that they would also need Die Linke to be part of a coalition.
English
This is just a bomb for Union and allying with Green and Socialists would basically say to voters they’re no longer even a center-right party

@pegobry_en Considering all of my ancestors have lived in blue for hundreds of years, I suppose I would have to go down with the ship.

Obviously red and it’s not close (though there are lots of wonderful parts in blue)
Wisconsin First@wiscofirst
This is a litmus test: in which hypothetical country would you rather live? I’d personally rather live in blue.

@RNolan96194 @vanikehuman He’s not a serf, Wat Tyler was a roofer.

@vanikehuman The least convincing part is Andrew Garfield looking like a 14th century serf

@virkokka @LFauexProd Why would God be the same as a book character
English
@wealdgenga @LFauexProd Why not, he allowed plenty other shit in the books.
English
@wealdgenga @LFauexProd You say that but there’s Christian testaments saying they went to hell

@wealdgenga @LFauexProd If I was an all knowing god I'd give people a sneak peak of hell because it would be funny

@RichardHanania I go to a T6 law school. 50 percent of my class gets accommodations on our final yet we are all graded on a strict curve against each other.
English
Just over a decade ago, 1% of LSATs were taken under disability accommodations.
By 2023, it was 11%.
Disability accommodations are killing the ability of standardized tests to be a force for merit. We're now rewarding liars and cheats. richardhanania.com/p/how-federal-…

@glowehwurm @bizlet7 What does this change? His mother is a track star?
English
@bizlet7 Not a real photo
It's AI
His father is at every single one of his matches and most of his family is now also and the cameras show them, so if you watched the matches you'd know the people on the photo are not real
This is actual young Haaland with his family

Eugenics is real. Elite athletes should not marry the cheerleader but the track star.

@ebarcuzzi @mattyglesias The reason that America is so much richer is due in large party to our tax policy. America is running away from Europe by every economic indicator. They should imitate us, not the other way around.
English
@mattyglesias USA is so much richer that we really could have it all with less sacrifice. Gdp per capita almost 50% higher than Sweden.
English
A Nordic-style tax structure would tax the rich much more heavily than the United States but also define “the rich” much more broadly.

@Noahpinion @kar_nels downtown Chicago is gigantic compared to almost every other city in the country?
English
@kar_nels Not a real city tho, more of a suburban sprawl with one small museum-like downtown
English
Correct.
America has one (1) real city, and this chart shows why.
