@AndreasSch35929 @mariashriver Shortly after Gerald Ford took office, Congress wanted to name a Courthouse and Federal Office Building after him. Ford vetoed the bill. He said he was deeply honored, but that naming a building after a sitting President would be a bad precedent to establish.

@AndreasSch35929 @mariashriver This is generally true in the Middle East as well. Assad ion Syria and Saddam Hussein in Iraq were exceptions. Not the kind of company you'd want to be in.

@FareedZakaria Your analysis of California in general may be right, bit Republican candidates finished well simply because there were fewer of them. Overall split between votes for Democrats vs. Republican very much in line with the CA partisan percentages.

@robbysoave You might live in different bubbles

@anilkseth @StuartHameroff Good for you!

@LeprechaunVI @radical80sNFT @historyinmemes Indeed. Also, as far as I can see, there was no "article." Just the tweet with the photo.

@dinahgirl88 @NateSilver538 @rpyers You might say that but polls don't show that.

@ThomasSKidd @BradWilcoxIFS @unherd @davidnbass @FamStudies "...Is that because marriage produces happiness or because unhappy people tend to be difficult to live with or because they sort out of the marriage market and on and on or all of the above?""

@ThomasSKidd @BradWilcoxIFS @unherd @davidnbass @FamStudies From the paper: "The usual caveats about causal inference should be kept in mind All of them – mutual and reverse causality, omitted variables, selection, etc. – apply to most every comparison you will see. For example, married people are happier than unmarried...."

@HenMazzig I'd encourage people to actually read the piece:

Opinion | The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians - The New York Times

It has many more than two sources, including many victims spoken to directly. Your tweet grossly mispresents it.

@jayvanbavel ...when men make twice as much, the difference is there. When income is equal, women appear to still think a partner with resources is more important than men do. But when women make 2x as much, men don't value resources more than women, as you'd expect if gender didn't matter.

[R N @ron2718]

@jayvanbavel Just glancing at the graphs, they seem more consistent with the idea that both an innate sex difference in finding resources attractive and non-gendered preference for a partner with more resources are both at work. When men make twice as much...

@Duncanldah0 @pickover He said in his tweet that before he conceived of the idea it was not known if ANY undulating squares existed.

@r0cketpocket @Eleassar679 @anishmoonka Anyone attacking you for your post is a real jerk.

@LaatoSamuli @jayvanbavel Read the paper.

[R N @ron2718]

@JonosTake @NateSilver538 Different meaning of rational. Here it simply means given your ends, recognizing reality and how to manipulate to achieve your ends. It says nothing about whether those ends are good or bad.

@96f20P_JRoToole @jayvanbavel Really, you ought to bother to look at the questions. Anyone who has read them and read your comments can see that you haven't.

[R N @ron2718]

@96f20P_JRoToole @jayvanbavel The question of what open-mindedness means is discussed at length in the paper, which is linked to. The exact questions from the open-mindedness scale are given. Be open-minded enough to at least have a look.
