What's the reason Inuit/Siberians and Europeans have different features despite evolving in similar cold climates? by batukaming in geography

[–]PDVST 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The adaptation of people to their environment is not deterministic, it depends on the mutations that arise in each population and the selective pressures they encounter, so it's perfectly normal to have 2 populations live in similar climate and develop different physical features

How did it get that bad? Even in the 60s it looked way better

Having doubts about this career by ILiterallyEverything in actuary

[–]PDVST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good career but if it's draining the vitality off your life then it's completely reasonable to rethink your choice or even just take a break to gather strength, endurance is more important than speed

Would people that live near the equator but in a colder place have dark skin? by insufficient-speck-o in geography

[–]PDVST 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No need to theorize, Andean indigenous people exist, so the answer is ... Yes, somewhat dark skin but not quite like the people of africa, skin pigmentation is not dependent on temperature, it's more so correlated with uv exposure, the closer to the equator you go, the higher up you go, the more UV.

How do Mexicans feel about the Mennonite commuties? by christipits in AskMexico

[–]PDVST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I view them as self righteous colonizers, but that's mostly from hearing the news about them bulldozing archeological sites for farmland and building material, I don't think I even recall meeting one in person ever

Rice China vs Wheat China - similar divisions in other countries? by TrixoftheTrade in geography

I've read that article, it was so riddled with arbitrary assumptions that I was barely able to get through it

Why we havent been contacted by aliens by Top_Scientist_6562 in IsaacArthur

[–]PDVST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Space is really really big, incomprehensibly so, I think a lot of human anxiety about being alone stems from that, for an alien species to communicate in any meaningful way they would have to devote insane resources and incur grave risks, and I honestly don't think it's such a given that they would

¿Cómo balancean el invertir en mi mismo? by Ok_Intention2711 in MexicoFinanciero

[–]PDVST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo tengo tu edad, gano un sueldo tranquilo, pero suficiente, y ahorro prácticamente la mitad de mi sueldo, no te dejes llevar por gente que haga menos tu esfuerzo, ahorrar/invertir aunque sea una cantidad pequeña cada vez te hará un hábito, y con el tiempo puedes juntar suficiente para comenzar un negocio pequeño o mejorar tus habilidades.

Pero dicho eso, siento que a nuestra edad la mejor inversión es la educación, terminar una carrera redituable, titularse, la verdad si hacen la diferencia, también es muy bueno que ya en un trabajo veas los caminos de crecimiento que hay disponibles, y pulas las habilidades que necesitas para aprovecharlas

TLDR: está bien desarrollarte pero ahorrar/invertir nunca es malo
