I love this comic so much! It changed my perspective about alot of things when I found it. (will update regularly)

If you think about it, abortion is actually pretty trad. There's this meme that abortion is the modern woman's sin, yet, it was a normal practice in the past.

>The Stoics believed the fetus to be plantlike in nature, and not an animal until the moment of birth, when it finally breathed air. They therefore found abortion morally acceptable.[19][39]

>Aristotle wrote that, "[T]he line between lawful and unlawful abortion will be marked by the fact of having sensation and being alive."[40] Before that point was reached, Aristotle did not regard abortion as the killing of something human.

>In the Roman Republic and Principate, abortion was punished only when it violated the father's right to make decisions about rearing his offspring.[18]: 3  The Stoics did not view the fetus as a person, and the Romans did not punish abortion as homicide.

The Christian world generally condemned this act but did not really punish it harshly.
>But church councils, such as those of Elvira and Ancyra, which were called to specify the legal groundwork for Christian communities, outlined penalties only for those women who committed abortion after a sexual crime such as adultery or prostitution.
>Several historians have written that prior to the 19th century most Catholic authors did not regard termination of pregnancy before "quickening" or "ensoulment" as an abortion.

Fast forward to modernity:

>Social attitudes towards abortion shifted in the context of a backlash against the women's rights movement.

Since there's too much talk about moids in our boards, I decided that I should do my part and contribute something non-moid related. So I'm making this thread about science, maths are included as well of course. I personally think that the soft sciences are actually closer to the humanities than to the hard sciences, but in the spirit of avoiding a flame war, I'll try to avoid this point as much as I can from now on.

You can ask questions and discuss stuff about science here, I'll try to answer whatever I can and perhaps attempt to guide posters in the right direction if I'm not familiar with the topic. I'm a physicist by training but I have a basic understanding of general chemistry, geology and biology as well. I know the most about astrophysics and meteorology/climate stuff, I'm OK at mechanics, thermodynamics and quantum physics and not so great at electromagnetism, relativity and maths in general (as in, compared to a mathematician, for a physicist I'm average at maths). Sorry if that came off as a bit pedantic, I just wanted to let you know the kind of stuff I'm more likely to give good answers to.

So yeah, ask away!

I just fell asleep 3 hours ago I hate the feeling of waking up after afternoon nap

My dad wants me to start a food business with him. I'm a NEET, never been employed, and since I plan to get into the food industry in some way I've brought up the idea myself before, but it's always seemed like something out of my depth. As tempting as it is I think it's ultimately a bad idea. I seem to be putting far more thought than my dad is into the danger of ending up in my 30s saddled by the debt of a failed business in my 20s. He says all these things like "we won't fail if we plan ahead properly and make sure to be clever about it" and how he had a small company twenty years ago selling photographs to publishers, as if that's anything to do with the skills required to run a food company. He brushes off the idea of what we'll do if the business fails with "we just have to not fail in the first place".
It's annoying how I'm the one in the position of shutting down my 50 year old father's crazy overly-optimistic ideas, isn't that the opposite of how it usually goes?

I know politics are not allowed here but I've really disturbed and morally gutted by whats going on and have been trying to make sense of this tragedy for two months now and the more I read about it the less sense any of it makes.
Why a girl's elementary school? why do they hate girls so bad. I look at pictures of the children and cry sometimes.

Any nonas learning languages? I'm learning Latin right now.

Do you have any dumbass hypotheticals you like to think about

I know some rich people have huge ass properties and sometimes a lot of them. There's no way they're all perfectly surveiled all the time… So what if you managed to get into one of these and just squat. They're probably always more or less stocked, utilities paid for, and also you get some fun stealth playtime whenever the owners come over.

Or maybe one of those fallout shelters rich people supposedly have.
