Yes, Spain!!!!

[Image descriptions: 1. Tweet by AJ+ @AJPlus [gold check verified] that says: Spain became the 1st country in Europe to offer paid menstrual leave, for 3-5 days. It also gave final approval to laws that: [bullet point] enshrine rights to abortion for people over 16 [bullet point] let trans people over 16 self-identify gender by simple declaration, one of the only places to do so [Attached to the Tweet is a photo of a group of people with trans flags gathered on the steps of a building with large stone columns.]

2. A headline from DW that says: “Spain passes laws on trans rights, abortion, menstrual leave – DW.” The visible part of the article says, “The new laws expand transgender rights and abortion access, as well as give workers paid menstrual leave. The approval comes ahead of…” \End descriptions]

"Why did Katara choose Aang over Zuko??"

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like “this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol” when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every “classical” looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

Ten: The War Doctor drops in with a wrinkled old grin-

Eleven: PARADOX!!!

Ten: You telling this story, or am I?

Eleven: I'm sorry, sandshoes, go on.

In most applications I think Bayesian reasoning is not that useful in everyday life, but I do think it would be pretty effective a strategy for like, planning the perfect murder. When people talk about committing the perfect murder they always come up with all this elaborate stuff like "oh we're gonna dissolve the body, blah blah", but the thing is, a ton of murderers don't get caught, and there are widely available statistics on every conceivable type of murder and just how likely it is to get solved. By going through all these statistics, you could not only plot a murder with a very low probability of getting caught, but get a quantitative estimate of just how likely you are to get caught and rationally weigh that against the expected pay off.

Someone should write a ratfic whodunit about this.
