I'm sure there's a term for the mathematical process involved, but yeah, generally speaking if you managed to make it to puberty, you were probably going to hit 60+. But there was a lot of infant mortality bringing the average down.

Yes, but most people don't really think that way when they hear preindustrial life expectancy numbers which is why I think it would be better with the vaccine issue to talk about how it reduced infant and childhood mortality since that's where the biggest difference was made.

We are witnessing a narrative not seen since the “I’m getting divorced and having a custody battle” arc or the “my kids are going to college and I can’t handle being alone” series. I’m waiting for him to imply they start a relationship.

My immune system is very good and got me through COVID and that's why I gave it extra help against variants by then getting vaccinated. I'm only really now no longer wheezing, a year after.

Also that Neanderthal article noted if you died as adult you were less likely to be buried in a burial mound and hence your remains would never be fossilized/found. An example being if your cause of death was Saber tooth tiger related your remains would be scattered all over.

Why do chuds who don't even live in New York state care about Cuomo resigning?? When the news about him resigning broke my Trumpy coworker came up to me and was like "Did you hear the news?? Cuomo is resigning!!" And I was like "Okay but we don't live in New York like who gives a gently caress?" And they just gave me a very slightly sour expression and went off to tell somebody else the Good News.

It doesn't matter that his replacement will probably be similar to him politically (or maybe even more left), and they don't actually give a poo poo about the women he harassed or the elderly people he put at risk (except as tools to attack him), all they care about is he's a Dem and now he isn't governor anymore, take that!

Hope you'll forgive the scroll. Haven't posted Dan Lietha since December where I linked a bunch of his new comic Truth Jabs. I tried not to post literally every one he did since then, but he's a lot more political on this comic than AfterEden.  Dec 26, 2020  Jan 1  Jan 7  Jan 15  Jan 28  Feb 5  Feb 12  Feb 26  Mar 3   Mar 11  Mar 24   Apr 14 gently caress off with this fake concern, Dan.  Apr 21. How's that 'taking care of the earth' thing going?  May 5  May 29. lol.  June 9  June 18   July 7 And bonus poo poo from his Ready to Reason series which is made for an organization called the Biblical Science Institute which tries to push bunk science like the idea that the speed of light was much faster in the past and so the universe is still only 6000 years old.

Tried to look up that quote, and it sure appears on a lot of anit-choice websites. Sanger wrote that, but in the context of "Don't let anyone misinterpret me in a way that makes them think I want to exterminate African-Americans".

Because the media pushed him as the Reasonable Adult in the Room as a contrast to Trump. Sure, he was really bad about covid but at least he pretended to care about it! (while making decisions that killed a lot of people anyways)

“Jesus was NOT about accumulating wealth! He would also never support free health care.” I guess he needed the anti-lgbt panel to allow for the cognitive dissonance.
