- Comment on Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid? 3 days ago:
(Academic) education is not intelligence, and certainly not wisdom.
The worst part is this education doesn’t protect you from falling for certain loopy ideas. Critical reasoning is a skill and like all skills it needs to be learnt and maintained.

“Help, we are being attacked”
“Stop fighting!”
“Watch out, there’s a bus coming!”
“Leave me alone, leave me alone!”
“Are you proud of working for ICE? Do you go to bed proud of what you do?”

There are absolutely good reasons to yell at people.
Seriously, what kind of performative crap is saying things like “it’s never right to yell at anyone”?
I can’t seriously think you either believe or have thought this through.

It’s like you didn’t read the message and understand the context.

That really doesn’t appear to be what people are describing

How many of you are also trying to mindfully disengage from our phones, just pause for thought every time you pick it up?

Gemini was kind of entertaining, but I would go as far as calling it “good”.
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 5 weeks ago:
Ah yes, great book. The film is fun but completely fails to adapt the point of the book.

Physicist Education is amazing and one of their most catchy songs.
I didn’t think one really needs to recommend any in particular to demonstrate their musical ability, they are all complex and impressive. And good! the technicality serves the music, not the other way round.

Yeah, “edible”. Kinda how small stones are also edible.

What’s not to love about cow secretions mixed with boiled down (and filtered, don’t worry!), tendons, hooves and eyelashes?

- Comment on Ska ftw 3 months ago:
AAA and Link80 are very much not “the most ska”, they are very hardcore leanleaning ska, which is really a few steps too farfar from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.

I think one theory is that it was central Asian horse-riding societies who started carrying milk on horseback, in saddlebags made out of animal bladders. The motion of the riding and the rennet left in the bladders churned the milk and turned it into cheese.
I remember also reading on a science magazine’s site this possibility that the first cheese made by humans was more of yeast-based preparation, without animal milk, but i can’t find the article mentioning that anymore.

Wtf, no, if you distribute you get the same result:
2 + 5(8 - 5) =
2 + (5 × 8) + (5 × -5) =
2 + (40) + (-25) =
2 + 40 - 25 = 2 + 15 = 17

The panic felt by some sad men at the idea of failing some shittily defined masculinity test and the ways enterprising grifters cultivate and exploit that for influence and gain. Yay.

“Here” is in this situation.
It sounded like you were saying the UK is not a “civilised country”.
Otherwise not sure what your point was.

There are no biological races in humanity. Nothing that can be compared to dogs for instance. On top of that “white” as a biological marker to define a group makes as much sense as “tall” or “small hands”, ie: none.
We humans are pretty varied lot, people have wanted to create categories for ages and have done so, but those are social categories.

That looks like a great reinterpretation of the character. Thanks for pointing this out!

Absolutely this. This is crucial to resisting fascism in its various forms: dehumanising is an extremely dangerous slope and used to prepare people to accept unacceptable things.
TERFs are people. Nazis are people. Murderers and rapists are people. Fans of Asmongold are people.
It may be hard to accept, and tempting to dehumanise, but please don’t.

Porn is filmed in a controlled environment
Controlled by whom? For whose benefit?
This bit, on which a lot of the argument hinges, seems rather rose-tinted. An alarming number of women report being coerced into doing more than they agreed to, once on set.
