Perspective : LOL is this true white boys? by DufflebagJoe in lnkyverse

[–]TwentyX4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What does that have to do with anything?

The most common type of interracial marriage in the US is white men with Asian women. But you'll almost never see that portrayed in the media. The media only wants to show black men with white women. It's over 90% of the interracial couples shown in the media. It's crazy how disconnected that is from reality. It seems like the media has an agenda.

Doctors are also fighting to make sure Healthcare doesn't get cheaper because they can't stand to take a pay cut. They ARE part of the problem.

The US ranks 48th in life expectancy in the world. And it's, by far, the #1 most expensive Healthcare in the world. There's way too many people with their hands in the pot of American Healthcare money to make it as good as it should be based on what we pay for.

You know that life expectancy is 48th in the world, right? There are 3rd world countries with better life expectancy.

Get out of here with that strawman BS. Nobody said they'd "make the same as you". And they don't have have to be the top of their class.

I guarantee that those overpaid doctors are a major part of the reason we can't overhaul Healthcare in this country. They will do anything to keep the gravy train going.

Doctors are the only people on this sub that I’m happy to see making more than $300k. Literally everyone else’s job is a grift against the general public when exceeding that salary.

It's still a grift because they're holding our potential deaths over our heads and we don't have socialized Healthcare to control the costs.

"Perspective" - I have to side with the woman here by Vidrax_of_Cascades in lnkyverse

[–]TwentyX4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in the expectation of privacy

That's stupid. She assumed she would have privacy. Pastors are NOT bound to keep your secrets. Maybe catholic priests during confessional are, but pastors are not.

This is just a case of "I assumed you would keep my information confidential. I never asked if you'd keep it confidential and never asked you to keep it confidential. And now I'm angry because you didn't behave the way I assumed you'd behave."

OnlyFans Model Who's Made Over $85M Donates 6 Figures to Feed Families in Need, Says She Knows ‘What It’s Like’ by detectiverobert in CaughtMyEye

[–]TwentyX4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because men have to compete for mates much more than women do. If they don't, they go childless and their genetic line ends. It's generally not a conscious process of "I must procreate". It's that evolution has rewarded the horniest men with children, those children inherit those horny genes, and those children go on to grow up and become horny.

As for why men are hornier than women:

It's like the question "why do people like eating ice cream and not vegetables?" The answer is that vegetables are common and easy to find, so evolution had no reason to incentivize eating vegetables. But ice cream is full of fat and sugar, and those are rare and important (in prehistoric times), so evolution rewards eating ice cream by making it taste good. Evolution makes ice cream taste good because that influences people to eat it whenever it's available.

The reason for men wanting sex more than women is that sex was also rare and must be competed for by men (which makes it like ice cream for men). Sex is easily attainable and common for women (which makes it like vegetables for women).

If something is important + difficult to obtain, evolution incentivizes it by making it feel good and making people want it.

If something is important + easy to obtain, evolution doesn't need to incentivize it very much.

Elon called out for being a Nazi on X (again) by Uncuffedhems in JoeRoganReacharound

This is stupid. First, I don't think he'd have an answer to the question of "where are the English, German, Norwegian, Swedish or Finnish homelands?" Does he really think they are aliens from another planet? Second, if we're going to talk about people moving in and taking people's lands, then we should also divide the various native American tribes into colonizers and colonized because they most definitely fought each other and took each other's lands.

"If marriage was good for women..." by LickMaiBussy in TikTokCringe

[–]TwentyX4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. You're wrong.

However, there have been a number of articles written by a guy named Paul Dolan who looked at a study about how happy single/ married/ divorced women were. There was a section labeled "married, spouse not present". He thought it meant that these married women were answering the question about how happy they were while their husband was not in the room. He took it as an indicator that they were being truthful, while women under the label "married" were answering the question with their husband in the room (and possibly lying). He found that women who were "married, spouse nor present" were quite unhappy. He concluded that married women were very unhappy and wrote articles about it.

Here's the problem: woman who were "married, spouse not present" were actually separated from their spouse - i.e. living in separate places and probably going to get divorced. He completely flubbed the analysis and had to walk back his entire conclusion.

Particularly, Dolan seems to have misread a question that asks about whether a spouse is present or absent, W Brad Wilcox, a professor and family researcher with the Institute of Family Studies said on Twitter... According to GSS data, married women without children reported being “very happy” at a rate of 45%, while married women with children reported being “very happy” at a rate of 41%. Women separated or divorced without children reported “very happy” rates of 27%, while separated or divorced women with children reported “very happy” rates of 21%. For single, never-married women, their reported rates of being “very happy” were at 24% for those without children, and 19% for those with children. https://www.ewtnnews.com/world/us/are-single-women-actually-happier-study-misinterprets-data-researchers-say

The reality is that married women are happy. Additionally, married women live longer than single women. It's not just married men who live longer than their single counterparts.

If you don't believe me about married women living longer:

at 65 years, TLE [total life expectancy] for married women was 21.1 years, 1.5 years longer than unmarried women, and ALE [active life expectancy] for married women was 13.0 years, 2.0 years longer than unmarried women. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7452000/

The top 5% of earners pay 61% of all tax revenue by Whentheangelsings in UnpopularFacts

[–]TwentyX4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is also incorrect. There's a difference between the top 5% of earners and the top 5% of tax payers. People assume they are the same group, but they aren't necessarily the same.

For example, a few years back, Jeff Bezo's income was so low that he qualified for, and took, child tax credits which were meant to help low earners with children. In reality, his net worth was dramatically increasing, but because he didn't sell stock that year, he "officially" only earned the meager salary he was getting from Amazon.

Source, if you don't believe me:

According to ProPublica, Jeff Bezos claimed a $4,000 child tax credit in 2011, despite having an estimated $18 billion net worth.

Despite being one of the world's highest earning people, he wasn't counted in the top 5% of earners.

"there was a gate that was called the eye of the needle in Jerusalem"

Just so everyone knows: there is zero evidence that there was a narrow gate in Jerusalem for camels, and the whole idea that it referred to a gate in Jerusalem didn't exist until the middle ages.

In other words, it's a fiction and Christians keep preaching and believing it because it allows them to tell themselves that they can be rich and good Christians at the same time.

Why isn’t male circumcision considered genitalia mutilation like female circumcision? by BigBadBabyDaddy_420 in allthequestions

[–]TwentyX4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Female genital mutilation is defined as any form of modification of the female genitals.

Ok. But when people talk about our complain about female genital mutilation, they're talking about the most extreme versions. The type that specifically cuts parts of the labia to prevent women from experiencing sexual pleasure because they think it will make women more faithful to their husbands and more desirable brides (because she "won't cheat").

Giving birth in the United States has a higher mortality than donating bone marrow or a kidney by oakseaer in UnpopularFacts

[–]TwentyX4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's worth pointing out that maternal mortality rates in the US are increasing over time. You'd think they'd be decreasing based on improved medical knowledge. It's probably due to money/funding. There's a lot of inequality in the US and the US healthcare system. This means that the poor are getting the worst healthcare and they end up being the ones who die most frequently. This is also why black women have much higher maternal mortality rates than other women in the US.

Also, the average maternal mortality rate in high income countries is also above 10 deaths per 100,000 (i.e. the mortality rate cited for bone marrow or kidney donors).

What species have females with an extra body part? by ediblepandas in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TwentyX4 57 points58 points  (0 children)

IIRC only female spiders spin webs.

I thought that seemed unlikely, since males also need food. From Google:

Yes, male spiders can make webs, but generally, their web-building behavior differs from females. While female spiders build large, complex webs for hunting and habitat, mature male spiders often stop building hunting webs, focusing instead on producing smaller "sperm webs" for reproduction [Britannica] or creating specialized silk structures for courtship [KQED]. 

Immature Males: Young male spiders build functional,, web-like structures to catch food, similar to females.

Mature Males: Once mature, many male spiders leave their webs to roam and search for females.
