If it were properly and thoroughly demonstrated that one race was more intelligent than another then of course it would create a lot of serious problem (a clear justification for stupid racism) but it ought not to be censored. Having said that, it absolutely has NOT been demonstrated. Most testing has been biased towards the kind of intelligence…[Read more]

Pope…do you have tits?

Because our brain is processing different stimuli and thoughts from different moments all at different moments there isn’t one clear “now” in your brain but a fuzzy fog of “now” that covers multiple miliseconds from the past until “now” making it a hazy “consciousness” of “the present”. As Reg pointed out, the planck time is extremely short…[Read more]

And there are people who experienced the big crunch and are feeling a little stuck!

Beagles are so obsessed with food I swear they would sit intently and wait all day long for the chance to get food they like. They are also absolute vacuum cleaners. I’m not exaggerating when I say if we dropped some food on the floor that we’d leave it there cause we knew “snoopy” would find it in no time. He would also scavenge the entire house…[Read more]

Whenever we had steak, my beagle would stand in front of us and salivate for an hour as we ate. He would stand perfectly still and stare at us with murderous eyes with a drool hanging out of his mouth that would get longer and longer.  You could not distract him with anything else (he knew he was going to get the leftover bones). When I was a kid…[Read more]

Canada doesn’t have an NHS. They have 13 provincial and territorial systems (with notable differences). Canada has a fraction of the population that the US has. Even if they had private medicine there would still be ads for Canadians to go to American hospitals to try some treatments because a smaller country couldn’t possibly offer them all.…[Read more]

Better to Suavez qui peut, avoid spreading misery, enjoy what’s possible, and assure those who are born that I did try to warn others before them.

That was the most incoherent rant you’ve made yet. Debt is irrelevant. Centralised medicine is CHEAPER that private medicine. The taxes levied are cheaper than the money put towards private in…[Read more]

While the mind is a legitimate area of study, the “experts” are novices at best and scratch deep enough, many of those “experts” think that they themselves need help.

Wow. So you are a knowledge denier. It must be really wonderful to be able to dismiss anything you don’t like and generate excuses to explain away shit that conflicts with your wo…[Read more]

Encoginator, I don’t personally know this, psychologists and sociologist know this through comprehensive studies. For example when HR specialists are given resumés with non-ethnic sounding gender neutral names, the most qualified person is selected. If it is clearly a woman’s name or an ethnic sounding name, they are less likely to be selected.…[Read more]

I’m not saying in your particular case that racism is the problem. What I am saying is that when cashiers can or choose to be selective about when they card people, and they disproportionately do so towards marginalised people…then that IS bigotry in action. It happens subconsciously every day. There are tons of studies which show these…[Read more]

No, you have not come with a valid argument.

Ugh Jesus Christ give me a bloody break. Anti-health care crusaders are some of the most stubborn and wilfully ignorant people to debate with.

The cashier is racist if they disproportionately ask for ID from marginalised people and irregularly or little from non-marginalised people. And that does happen. It’s easy to not notice and a lot of people don’t notice.

Unseen I had said the article is only half serious. Having said that, it is half serious so you might not want to just discard everything in it just because you don’t like it.

Yeah I’m certainly very fortunate to still have my parents both alive. It will certainly eclipse losing my best friend “snoopy” when I was younger.
