I’ve seen people with multiple kids get called an incel. I’ve seen multiracial people get called racist. The list goes on and on. Remember when people got “Nazi” keyed into their Teslas just because Elon Musk is the CEO?

I believe that all of these buzzwords have lost their meaning. People use them incorrectly. They call people them way too frequently. And honestly? I’m sick of it.

No Sarah, Joseph isn’t a pedophile supporter because he likes XYZ politician. Ryan isn’t racist because he’s proud of his culture. Yes, it’s possible to disagree with someone without being a bigot.

I see a lot of African American people (Subsaharan Africans) try to claim Egyptian history as their own. They will say Egyptians were African! We came from the Egyptians! I even see a lot of non-African people attempt to attribute Egyptian history to African Americans.

The truth is quite different. The most similar modern ethnic group to the ancient Egyptians according to DNA testing is the Coptic Christians. In other words, the Egyptians were closer to middle eastern people than to black people.

I took a class called “Introduction To Ancient Civilizations” and the teacher kept showing us Egyptian history and asking us how this demonstrates “black empowerment.” How is Egyptian history empowering when it’s not your history?

Anyways. Sorry to go on the tangent. No hate towards Subsaharan Africans either. You guys got your own history and accomplishments. My argument is just a criticism of historical inaccuracy, appropriation, and the intellectually illiterate.

They can range from beginner friendly to complex. Please include what level they are at. I’m trying to get started and relearn the basics. Thanks!

Studies suggest that people with higher body counts are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat on their partners, and more likely to be unhappy in relationships. For these reasons, I think it’s completely reasonable to want someone with a smaller body count.

Disclaimer: these might trends, but there are outliers. You can have a high body count and never get divorced, cheat, or be unhappy, and you can be a virgin and get divorced, cheat, and be unhappy.

I took a class in music theory years ago, and I remember learning about chord progressions and perfect 5ths. Why do certain noises (such as the ones I listed) sound pleasing to the human mind?

I’m interested in the neuroscience behind this question as that’s what my background is in. In my research, I keep trying to find the evolutionary science behind why humans evolved to like certain noises, but most of the theories are unconvincing to say the least.

Hey guys!

I am someone who’s very religious. I believe that Jews have the right to have a homeland, and that the role of the Jewish people is to be a “light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:6).

Whenever I argue with antisemites about topics relating to the Palestine-Israel conflict, AIPAC lobbying, or American involvement in the Iran conflict, I struggle to hold my ground.

How should I approach antisemitic debates? I am someone who strongly values data, so please share with me numbers! I want to hear all your talking points.

Why do actually conservative comments get downvoted so much on this subreddit? I saw someone say the government should ban abortions and it had 20 downvotes. I was under the impression conservatives were supposed to be in this subreddit. Am I missing something?

I am new to Reddit. So I am merely sharing my experience. I’ve had my account for a while (just to research random stuff), but only recently begun posting. What I have discovered is that Reddit doesn’t have free speech. Every other post I put up gets removed within 15 minutes.

I’ve noticed the algorithm on Reddit is primarily Liberal-leaning. The comments that are upvoted the most tend to be Liberal. The comments that get downvoted to oblivion tend to be more conservative or centralist.

I can’t help but compare my Reddit experience to that on X. While using X, I have found that the majority of posts boosted by the algorithm are right-wing in nature. However, there is still free speech. You can post anything and chances are it’ll stay up.

I wish Reddit was politically unbiased, because it is the best available forum. It has a plethora of amazing information every topic you can think of. But when everything is politically polarized, you just get kind of sick and tired of scrolling on the app. There needs to be a balance.

Hey everyone. Is there any Jewish admixture in this sample?

Why does any form of DHA and EPA supplementation induce brain fog for me? I read it could be due to rancid fish oil, so I changed brands and still have the same issue. Everything I’ve read on DHA suggests it should be helping brain function, not causing brain fog so I’m confused.
