Looking at DJT stock price and there was this paywalled article that starts off
‘The government ethics program is dead’ says former Office of Government Ethics director
Who wrote that book, what were their credentials, and on what evidence did they base their thesis?
You absolutely aren’t allowed to change what a poster wrote inside the quote marks (like changing a “can’t” to a “cannot”). You can add a hyphen at the end (which is understood here) or just quote the relevant portion of their post, not the entire thing. Or drop the last period.
Oh, there certainly will be. And it is we who shall be living through it for the next four years.
Here you go, read it for yourself. (Title was mixed up)
OK, so not a research paper or peer-reviewed scientific study, but an interesting hypothesis. It’s suggestion of what might have been, not definitive proof. Got it.
I mean, they do have a point that in the past (through today) researchers do have their own bias and tend to see other cultures through the lens of their own. On the other hand, hunter-gatherer bands were (based on the current survivors and the diversity of places like New Guinea) probably even more diverse culture-wise than modern people so really, I very much doubt they were all the same, or all “bonobo like”.
I’m sorry – I se that title and all I can think is that this is some crazy kind of duel that I would love to receive a challenge in.
“Sex at Dawn. Stand back to back, take zero paces, then turn and act.”
“What do we use? Dildo? Vibrators?”
“Challenger gets the choice of weapons. Bare hands.”
“Joke’s on you-I’ve been studying gymnastics and wrestling for years.”
And this is why one should always check titles before posting. My thanks.
One of the authors is a PhD (from a not particularly distinguished university), and the book makes footnoted comparisons of accepted, modern beliefs vs. what can be inferred from known hunter-gatherer societies and other primates.
The book is based on his dissertation, which I haven’t read because I probably wouldn’t follow it and I don’t care that much. I found the arguments pretty well laid out (with an obvious bias towards his thesis), but YMMV.
If the coup de grace is necessary, I shall administer it myself.
I knew Dawn. She was, um, unusual. One time in a bar, she went up to a guy, cussed at him for his T-Shirt, “I’m so horny the crack of dawn isn’t even safe”, and naturally, at the end of the evening, went home with him. Or the time she was bowling, turned to a friend and mused “I wonder if it’s possible to give head to a dog” (at which point every guy within earshot started barking).
Yeah, “sex at Dawn” has special meaning for me.
This is going to involve both Grace and Dawn? Oh boy.
Chimps and bonobos are each others’ closest relatives, and so humans are equally close to both. It’s like if your aunt has two children, you can’t say which of them is your closest cousin.
Welp, that’s Mortal Kombat ruined for me…
It’s even worse if you do a Babality instead of a Fatality, and still keep the “sex at dawn” aspect.
I’d been told that bonobos were closer to humans than chimps were, but a quick online search turns up stuff like this:

The bonobo genome compared with the chimpanzee and human genomes
from 2012, which shows that the degree of overlap is comparable, with difference so small that, if this were the results of, say, a political election, you’d call for a recount. I particularly like the Venn diagram of Segmental Duplications.
Fox News host says that, if Marco Rubio joins Trump’s cabinet, Desantis should appoint Hulk Hogan to replace him.
That seems more like a jab at Rubio than anything else.
Yeah, but given DeSantis’s perspective, lack of sense of humor, and overall intelligence, he may consider that advice worth taking.
