I’m actually really surprised that males / females are born at close to 50 / 50.

A population in which births are overwhelmingly female means those who give birth to males have an advantage in passing down their genetic material. In your scenario a man will likely have more descendants than a woman, so genes that arise promoting male children would be favored. If you reverse the ratio and the population is overwhelmingly male then being female gives you an advantage and genes promoting female children would become favored. So you get a tug of war that balances out at roughly 50/50. This is known as Fischer’s principle.

From a recent vacation:

That is my preferred breakfast. I prepare it the night before in a glass to allow the bottom layer tons of time to soften like you say but then I mix it all just before eating. I tend to use kefir since if I want fil I’ve gotta make it myself but as you say anything similar gets the job done.

If I was writing a fanfic sequel to the old testament I would call it the new testament and say that Judas was paid 30 silver.

It makes me think of how Mormons will point to such connections between the Book of Mormon and the Bible as proof. You’d expect such connections both if it was what the faithful narrative claims it to be or if it was a creation pulled from a hat that was attempting to reference what came before.

Meijer and Walmart store brands of cheap ass white bread are 22 slices, Kroger is 21, and for a name brand example Sunbeam is 22. Nicer bread like Pepperidge Farm or Brownberry/Oroweat tends to be in the range of 16 slices per loaf (baring the thin sliced stuff) though.

Indeed. I can grab a loaf of cheap white bread from my local grocery store for under $2 which is cut into 22 slices.

I was so sad when I once stumbled on a limited run stout on tap and they served it ice cold in a heavy frosted mug.

Why didn’t the mom research the law and see the rape exception?

Miss. Code § 41-41-45 requires a formal charge of rape by law enforcement for the exception to be applicable. If you read on to the Time article linked at the end of the Daily Beast article the mother claims to have been unaware of the rape to begin with. Even if charges could, as a matter of procedure, be filed against a John Doe to satisfy the requirement you still have to convince law enforcement to file those charges. Just informing a doctor that the pregnancy was the result of rape is insufficient to satisfy the exception.

Now you might be thinking, “Well, Mom didn’t know but the kid knew what happened to her.” I point to this from the Time article:

Regina hadn’t yet explained to her daughter how a baby is made, because she didn’t think Ashley was old enough to understand. “They need to be kids,” Regina says. She doesn’t think Ashley even realized that what happened to her could lead to a pregnancy.

It is unsurprising that she might lack the understanding and foresight required to be her own advocate on this issue.

I’m using Liftoff but you can do it with the website too. The option shows up on the sidebar of the sub on Lemmy and on the drop down menu on Kbin (the circle with the slash).

I’ve started blocking shit posting subs. Nothing against a good shit post but it cleans up my feed without having to resort to subscribed.
