How dare you metal man? Are you now saying that women are illogical and illiterate and don’t read left to right in English like men do??!! And how sexist of you and the person in the post to assume the kid on the right is a girl and the one on the left is a boy! The one on the left could be a little girl too- just because she doesn’t fit the stereotype of the gender? And how do we know what gender they each identify as? I can’t believe people would just impose their own gender ideas on kids like that to further their political beliefs! <sarcasm, playing along making fun of this crap and not you- for the record.>

Yes. She is lit like shit. You can barely see her face, every single thing from the boy being in the center, in a dynamic pose that fits the text, the text being the natural focal point and him being immediately right of it, and English readers scanning left to right... it’s all carefully crafted so that you could replace the boy with a Golden Retriever and people would probably assume the dog was Alex, probably think it was an airbud spin off or something. Whoever designed it knew that of course. The intent is noble, the execution and conclusion are pathetic parlor trickery. You don’t make positive and meaningful changes to the world running a crappy con game. The test is this- same set up, but Swap poses, positions, and lighting between the two and then see what people think. That would be a more honest test.

Rev your engine and shes yours brandon 13 comments

There is not much statistical or academic evidence to support that women walk around wishing someone would rev their engine at them. There have been some studies that show increased signs or self reports of arousal in a group of test women through engine revving- but this specifically shows a response to frequency vibrations commonly found in highly tuned 12 cylinder engines, and that 4/6/8cyl of all tested configurations do not have the same effect. It is also not a valid peer reviewed study and doesn’t have much teeth. So- show of hands- heterosexual men: who here enjoys which stereotypical female displays of “breedability?” Or in other words, who enjoys female flirting? Now- show of hands ladies, who likes being revved on?

Debatable. “Some women” might. However without pollling them individually one can’t say for certainty the actions to refer to as those women “showing how breedable they are” aren’t just that woman showing her self respect and expressing herself in a way she feels is presentable, without explicit intent to breed. Also- lesbians likely spend very little time trying to show men how “breedable” they are. That said- sure. Most things most people do can somehow be connected to “breeding.” Displays of value, stability, the ability to provide, yadda etc. HOWEVER you aren’t very specific as to what you mean as displaying “breedability.” So what I have to say to that, is that stereotypical examples of female displays intended to attract attention from a man or men they are interested in generally have some commonalities. Mainly that they are things that men actually enjoy, or they have some reason to believe that men or most men enjoy them based on social context or experience.

Jurassic Park. An old man and a bunch of young employees are all focused on progress by holding on to the past, while the government remains complicit in the affair for hopes that they too can makes short term benifit of the affair. A small and largely dismissed group of scientists try to warn them that the past is past, and we should move on to the future, by the time anyone heeds them it is too late to avoid disaster. Having learned absolutely no lessons, a new generation of owners sees the opportunity for profit, and write off all evidence they are on a doomed path as coincidence. Rinse and repeat. Jurassic Park sums up climate change nicely- but don’t fret, because as in the movie: “life finds a way.” Civilization as we know is is over rated anyway. A large part of the problem behind climate change is largely people trying to cling to a world they know amidst efforts to create a better world.

Tony Stark: runs out of water days ago.
Tony Stark: runs out of air tomorrow.
Tony Stark, man of science: “AH HA! I made an iron man suit in a cave. I will make water. All I need is hydrogen and oxygen- shit! I’m almost out of air. Ok. Ok. I am out of air. I need to make air. AH HA! I can break water up into hydrogen and oxygen and then breath the- shit! I don’t have any water. WAIT! I can make water with..... oh yeah.....”
Now- it’s possible that he has some plan, some desperation plan with a very low chance to succeed, but he didn’t want to try it until he was completely out of options and time to wait for a miracle because it may likely kill him, and so he’s recording a message in case his plan kills him or doesn’t work and he does anyway. If such is the case, this meme would be retroactively invalidated. Or maybe- he has no plan, but regardless, we don’t onow his circumstances or what he has or hasn’t already done. It’s a tad premature to make a determination from a trailer.

You can’t just “report someone for tax fraud,” at least in the USA. You’ll need a bunch of personal information such as their address, and in some cases even an SSN or ID number. How many people do you think try to report others, who they might not even think are guilty, simply as some form of griefing? How many letters probably get sent by random strangers about Donald Trump or some other media or business personality that is well known and disliked by many? The IRS doesn’t want to waste its time following up on your report for tax fraud about your neighbor who you see always buying and selling packages online but you’re SURE they aren’t paying tax on. They want proof. They want someone who is close enough to that person that they could actually know what that person pays taxes on. Unless a persons tax information is public, your chances of reporting anyone for tax fraud who isn’t a relative or an accounting client of yours are pretty slim.

The best way to lower difficulty level in dating is by being happy and content in your single life. Beyond that-Take good pictures- have an experienced friend with an artistic eye review them. Have someone who is good at portrait and candid photography take pictures for you. You can also pay for both these services. Peer review your text before posting, edit and rewrite as needed, and you can use other social meeting platforms you are less invested in to “BETA test” and refine your pitch. Track metrics and save previous entries data and text, compare results and contrast revisions, reformat future responses for length, tone, content, etc. based on this data. Work on improving your interpersonal and communication skills, and expand your repertoire of skills and known restaraunts or places of interest. Have a vast and broad knowledge so that you can talk about most things and have a specific activity in mind which you can propose based on the subject of discussion.

I like the “dark” theories but I enjoyed these “light” ones too. I agree that the Breaking bad one is probably my favorite and seems most plausible.

Fuck Calliou. Fuck whoever aided that abomination in clawing it’s way out of the cursed and shriveled womb of the eldrich beast that birthed it through insemination by the seed of the abyss. (unless it was by duress or a true and innocent misguided dillusion that that... thing... would do anything but put a pox upon the world.) Fuck Calliou.

Maybe... just because one doesn’t appreciate an art form does not invalidate it? Maybe we should pay teachers more, put the formula of: Pick someone you dont like or feel has more or doesn’t deserve what they have, pick another group you appreciate more or like more or feel doesn’t get what they deserve, take from group A and give to group B- doesn’t work. Maybe if we paid CEO’s less and entry level employees more.... maybe if we taxed the wealthy more and.... blah blah. Yes. There is wealth inequity and some professions like soldiers, police, teachers, nurses, blah blah, perform vital services and figuratively and literally dedicate and often risk their lives to do it, yet an EMT makes less than a mail room clerk at a major reading company. That’s not right by me, but I wouldn’t say to take money from the kid in the mailroom even if their job isn’t life or death. That kid has bills too, and I don’t tinker their life. If You could make millions by “mumbling,” would You refuse the money

Many people don’t seek fame though. They have a passion or want to do something positive, or they have a skill and are just trying to make a living off of it. Then they make some breakthrough, or they do something that gets noticed, maybe they are just an average person who gets captured doing something by someone else and go viral. Maybe they are trying to enact positive social or political change and find themselves the spokes person for a cause suddenly. To say that by virtue of having done some random thing they should be expected to forfeit their identity and have their privacy become open to public discourse is not just unjust, but it is destructive. Should anyone who doesn’t want this fate avoid ever doing anything that anyone may find interesting, noteworthy, novel or compelling? Avoid art, public service, all achievement, and contact with the world in general?

Yes! Thank you! If we can all just please stop judging people based on the things they do and say, and instead just judge them based on how they tell us they want their public image to be... wait... no...? I think.... that doesn’t sound right either...? In seriousness- yes- people can change, people can have “bad periods” in which they say or do things out of character (depression and drugs are well known for this...) Some things are very relevant, unlikely to change, etc even if they are “in the past.” When a 14yo posts a racial slur in a chat room, it’s not excusable, but I’m not likely to assume they are racist 30 years later off one slur. When a 30 year old posts racial slurs and 3 years later wants me to think they are “past that” I get more skeptical. And when a persons actions and words in the present reinforce those past events? Age doesn’t always bring the wisdom to change, sometimes it just brings the wisdom of how to better cover up your flaws better.

There is absolutely nothing special about diamonds 48 comments

Have optical properties that make them refract light in a way people like. The “fire” colors and sparkle of a diamond- however these optical properties are inferior to cubic zirconium and many other stones both naturally occurring and engineered. Lab created diamonds can be made more “perfect” than any diamond one would likely find in nature- and it is again- marketing which sullied the Cz and the lab diamond. Diamonds make a good cheap source of materials for making many electronics, optical instruments, cutting, drilling, shaping and machining tools. It isn’t that diamonds aren’t something interesting and useful, or even that they can’t be pretty- but much of the desire for diamonds is caused by hype, overblown or patiently false claims and tacked on sentimentality that was artificially created, and often have horrible human costs.

Well... the information is correct. In fact certain Debeers personnel were long considered criminals in the United States and subject to arrest. They were also banned from directly seeking their products in the United States. The United States buys roughly 45% of the diamonds sold commercially in the world, thanks largely to a campaign by debeers. The “tradition” of the diamond engagement ring isn’t some age old cultural thing- it’s a series of commercials and marketing from around the time of my great grandparents. So while yes- much about diamonds is hype, bullshit, or manufactured demand, the conclusion is false. There are many things special about diamonds. They just aren’t as “special” as advertised or in the ways advertised. Diamonds are hard. They can cut glass (but actually do sustain damage and erosion to finish like polish..) but they are not “tough.” A diamond can shatter like glass from a bump or drop- especially if it occurs on the diamonds shear plane. Diamonds...

Lol. I feel like the best insults do. Ever watch drill instructor videos, or have been through basic, and just hear some of the stuff they say.... and know they are so serious... but.... also some part of it just makes you want to laugh so hard? An old boss of mine would get so mad spit would fly from his mouth, he’d be real in to it and real serious, but I just could t help but laugh.

I can understand that. For the record- I was not disparaging him, but giving my opinion based on what I know of him. Calling him “terrified” isn’t an insult, but an assessment of emotion. One would be insulted to say “I’m terrified my child is hurt...” and one can be terrified of communism as well. Likewise- I sincerely believe based on his actions that he is aroused by it on some level. His fixations go beyond what most anyone would agree are healthy. But enough of that. As you say, o was not and am not trying to put the man on trial as a witch. Do you have a particular point of his in mind you’d like to discuss, or would you prefer that I describe one which I had issue with and we take it from there?

No no no. This happened back around 1957 when public schools had funding. That little boy who got his scrotum pierced by a European who fled the county after? His name was Donald J. Trump. He promptly transferred to Kew-Forest private school and his father had all the records of his public school tenure covered up. But the incident was not the end for Donald.... he always felt... less... and needed to prove that he wasn’t some looser with a scar on his sack and one nut who couldn’t beat a European in a fight. From that day forward he held an intense distrust and fear of all foreign people, thinking they were all dangerous and sneaky nut piercers who disappeared in the night. He also worried for the day the true nut slayer would come back and take his other nut. It shaped his life and set him on his life long path with that one purpose behind all he did- like going to the kgb and promising certain favors if they were to find the nut slayer and brin Donald justice....

It’s an easy position to take. We are talking about a massive and complicated convergence of systems- a planet, and asking for iron clad proof is asinine. What do you expect them to do- Seed a neighboring Earth like planet with green houses gassed and monitor it for several eons while controlling the emissions so that they can show unequivocally the results? What’s the test case that would provide satisfactory “proof” for such a complex system as a planet? We don’t need to believe in “climate change” to know that- in simple English- pollution is bad. It’s bad for people and all organisms, and there is proof of that. We know we need to cut emissions and pollution even IF climate change were a crock of shit, so the end result is the same. And “because they have an advantage” is not a good reason. If another world power started using concentration camps or slaves for labor that wouldn’t justify us saying “well, to be competitive we have to do it too....”

Maybe.... if your primary concern, and the best reason you can think of to do anything is to attract people or get attention... you aren’t doing so well either? Maybe there’s more to succeeding in life than cars or looks or sex or dating? Maybe... there’s not? Maybe success in life is what you determine it is. Maybe- you’re successful if you have what you want out of life, if you’re happy with how you got what you have, maybe you’re successful simply if you don’t have regrets? Or maybe... it’s none of that and success in life is just about passing your genes, or about what you give back in service to the world, your species, your family... who knows? If you’re happy in life- if you have what you want and you sleep soundly, who am I to say? Maybe there is no success in life, only moments of success and moments of failure, and in the end- life isn’t something one can succeed at. If “success” in life is survival- we all fail that eventually. Just do your best to be happy and let others be

.. wannabe hard sci fi pop stuff- they can consult experts and have great writers and throw words and theories around that only a handful of people on earth could recognize and demonstrate why, while it sounds and seems plausible on the surface even to those with some knowledge of science- it’s just bullshit meant to tell a story- a morality play at its heart most of the time. So from what I see- that is what he is at best. A man who used inconsistent logic and applies inconsistent principals to actions and beliefs as suits him, because he’s telling a story from an emotional place to appease the emotions of people who aren’t like minded, but for all the trappings of intellectualism- in the end he’s a well spoken morning radio dj who doesn’t like things that challenge his place in society, and is terrified (and probably strangely aroused) by totalitarian boogie men.
