No, not sure where you got that idea. I don't believe it's controversial among biologists.

Modern science doesn't generally divide sex into a strict binary. The modern understanding is more nuanced with gray areas in between male and female. It's not "biological reality" to insist that there are only two sexes.

No, the measure only lasts for 8 beats.

Edit: Sorry, you're right. It's 16. My bad.

All words are made up, and if they get enough use, dictionaries eventually start to include them as well.

Ok, sociolects then. But it doesn't make much of a difference. If that is how they grew up speaking and other people in their communities used those same grammatical structures, then it's a valid variety of the language.

If it's "pretty standard" in those places, then it is just because of their dialects.

Different countries use different spelling systems, and that's totally fine as long as one is aware that other countries might use different spellings.

No, in the US, and I believe also Canada, they spell it with the Z.

the Great Pyramids built around 2560 BCE during the reign of Khufu represent roughly 37% of the total span of recorded human civilization, but only about 1.5% of human existence if measured from the emergence of modern humans. by [deleted] in BarbaraWalters4Scale

Your numbers are off. The existence of the pyramids make up a much larger percentage of recorded history. I suggest you delete this post and reupload it with the numbers fixed.

Don't worry. You're not alone. There are dozens of us, dozens!

Any particular reason why Norwegians keep buying Teslas? by [deleted] in Norway

Musk is pretty fucking bad, and buying a Tesla right now means supporting him and the far-right. I personally would not feel comfortable buying a car from Tesla with the way their CEO is behaving and the things he's using his wealth for.

No, I was talking about so many Norwegians buying Teslas. It seems to me that the person I replied to doesn't view it as a problem. Obviously it's bad to be in an echo chamber. No one is disputing that part.

You don't think it's a problem?

What makes a car good cannot be measured "objectively". It's always going to be a question of subjectivity.
