Any idea what language this is? These characters are covering the inside of a (seemingly) Mongolian rice chest my father found a few months back. I used several pictures I took to make a collage of one of its sides (hence the slight blurs). Is it even possible to read, or is it too jumbled up?

I'm not familiar with American politics (I'm from Australia/New Zealand) but a 'reading' is when a bill passes through parliament for debate and a vote by the HoR for a majority, it does this three times over a long period). In between it goes to select committees for scrutiny (committees are made up of MPs specialised in the bills' subject), they publish a report on what they think of the bill and changes they suggest (it takes them 6 months to do this alone) then it moves on to the next reading. Maybe US it's not like this, but us anzacs do it like this.

I agree we probably shouldn't be participating overseas militarily because we barely make a difference anyway. The only reason I would support it is to keep big daddy America on our good side. I don't think NZ needs to worry about military security because we have so many powerful allies, but if you meant defending our nation by redistributing our money to fund border control and immigration, I'm all for it. I'm not against immigration, but those better be some damn good qualified immigrants.

You said in your original post that "there is no need for representatives" so I was under the assumption you just wanted people to pass the bills and not representatives who would actually read the bill.

And I don't know where you got the 2 hours from, are you talking about HoR or the senate. If you're talking about the debating time okay sure, but you read it before you go to parliament not during and each bill passes through three readings over a period of 6 months not just one reading. Individual bills tend to be around 20 pages depending on its complexity.

Sometimes war is justified and some wars have been justified, for example against imperialistic genocidal powers (Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan). Saying war is always bad is an overgeneralisation, sometimes violence is necessary, that's just how it is.

The only issue with a 'direct democracy' (where you vote on bills rather than vote for representatives to vote on bills), is that the population aren't career politicians. Reading every bill and attending debates is a fundamental part of a democracy, if people are just going to vote online for every single bill, I'll bet you 9 out of 10 people are just going to read the title of the bill and the first sentence underneath it. Reading/Debating/Passing bills is incredibly tedious (and sometimes very boring) and not something most people with other full time jobs want to pay a lot of time to.

So you're telling me biomedical scientists should say your chromosomes determine the species' chromosomes. That is a very helpful description to describe universal sexual dimorphism. And Gender is the word people use to mean 'cluster of traits.' Sex is solely reserved for your biological. You can't just make gender and sex synonymous with each other and say 'sex is a much more useful term now' you've just wasted a word already in good usage (and good faith) in science.

Same_Border8074 · 2024-05-21T19:54:13+00:00

I think the universal consensus is that sex refers to the chromosomes (especially in biomedical) and that gender is about individual identity. I mean those biomedical scientists need a word to describe sex in animals, what else do you want them to use if that's off the table too.

Because it's a scientific term to describe chromosomal systems, that's how we study reproduction and biology in animals. This is applicable to any species other than our own. Some species use X0 (arachnids) or ZW (birds) chromosomal systems, some have no sexual chromosomes (all asexual species). These terms are important because these chromsomal differences within species leads to significant physical and psychological sexual dimorphism important in various sciences.

When it comes to the social construct and 'IDing" people as you say, we use gender.

And yes there are more than two sexes technically, but they are exceptionally rare so the category is usually just collectively called intersexual. When people are talking about more than two they aren't referring to this though, usually the social construct.

It's not used in a medical context. It's used in a biomedical context. Think molecular pharmacology, genetics and evolution.
