He did. But by a smaller margin than he won white men.

So, the shortage of men who aren't nazis is actually there. And I suspect that the nazi women are having little trouble dating.

People don’t go to Harvard to get an education. They go because their parents are elites and they want their kids to make connections with the kids of other elites.

Elites don't go to Harvard for an education. But the rest of their students are there for one. I know several people with degrees from Harvard who grew up middle class and are now teaching at other universities.

Science advances one funeral at a time -Max Plank

What he was saying is that we can discover all the new things we want, but the people who have respected and established careers who don't believe the new science tend to block/slow down it's acceptance and further application until they die, then science advances...

I think that's all of society, not just science though...

I've been welcomed in feminist spaces. Don't try to take center stage or make it about you and you'll be fine in the vast majority of them.

Unfortunately I've met a few.

I was a search and rescue mountaineer/EMT for a decade. There are bigots in the field. You get a lot of "conservatives" with military or law endorsement backgrounds.

Also, to take something like this down, you'd start from the top and rappel down to it. It's how they do most rescues on El Cap (or any cliff for that matter)

You're spot on about wisdom, but it's not like people in non combat jobs aren't there to support the mission of killing people the government wants killed. Just because they aren't holding the gun, it doesn't mean they aren't sharing responsibility for the bullet

I had a job that paid 2x/month 20 years ago. I think the one before that did the same, but... That was a long time ago and I'm not sure if I remember

It's a stretch, but you could say it's uplifting that other retail CEOs can see this and learn from it

And people who didn't vote for the lesser evil could have helped avoid the greater evil, but chose not to.

Do you have the numbers you ran 6 years ago? I'm not that organized.

I used to be one of the people that came to rescue, or recover, people who fell down cliffs. (I was a search and rescue mountaineer/EMT for a decade)

I was speaking from experience.

Your conjecture is not accurate.

Packs break, clothes rip, some stuff stops falling on a ledge that other stuff bounces off of and keeps falling, etc. rarely, but not unheard of, a body part will get caught up on something while the body is falling fast enough to rip that part off and keep falling...
