@WomenPostingLs This is not an L. She took the initiative and made the first move, a risk that's usually left to men. She then assured him that it was okay to reject her. If the genders were reversed, would you call it an L?

@gonz0651 @WomenPostingLs Fair enough. I don't see it that way. If you ask out someone you like and they reject you, you're better off that if you hadn't taken the shot. You have gained information and will never regret not taking the chance. You also top up your rejection resistance.

@MonicaGandhi9 In person schooling is not essential at all. There are abundant counterexamples: home educated people like myself who did well in further education despite missing out on school as a child. What's essential is unsupervised free play with other children. School is unnecessary.

I've been seeing more of this sentiment: "If you can't win a live debate, you are wrong." I would say your likelihood of 'winning' a live debate has almost no correlation with the truth of your views. Where 'winning' is appearing to come off better to the avg viewer.

@ScepticalDoctor The NHS recommendation to eat lean mince, tuna, eggs etc. goes very much against the claims of plant based diet proponents. I'm not 100% sure who is correct here, but my instinct is that these suggestions are a compromise to appeal to carnists rather than evidence based.

Gastropods don't have a brain. They have ganglia: small clusters of neurons. So a brain is unnecessary for sentience, and ganglia can be sufficient. Oysters have ganglia too. There is no reason to think that oysters are less likely to be sentient than other animals.
