Changing my password to random nonsense.
I commented with some links to a few scientific studies, showing justification for someone's particular success with a paleo-inspired diet. Downvoted to oblivion. Because scientific studies are "not science"? Good job, fucking idiots, you have become the dogmatists you so claim to despise.
Of course, my batshit crazy unreasoned rants always get upvoted...
Better off without the temptation to post on this stifling, science-rejecting, closed-minded site.
Keep the regular job. Just buy a cheap van, and rent a 24/7 parking space. You can figure out the rest. Buy takeaways or use a gas stove for food, use a 24/7 gym for showering/toilet, and go to your job for the internet…
Why? There's plenty of consumer drones around already, heh...
All this self-help woo never worked for me. It probably won't work for you, and I don't think it actually works for the people regurgitating it. You're probably just spoiled, like the rest of us. You spend all your time…
Mainstream culture doesn't exist? That's hilariously wrong. Kanye West would like you to twerk to some Hunger Games and The Hobbit, and take a selfie on Snapchat while #hashtagging about it on Twitter. Just don't take a…
Would you end 2 lives if it saved millions in the future? Someone concerned with direct empathy wouldn't. Someone concerned with the human condition might. Anyway, I'm not saying that it was right, because that holds…
As far as I'm concerned, all of these drug markets are an absolutely fucking wonderful thing for society. Even if you think drugs should be illegal, incredibly violent cartels still exist. Markets like Silk Road can…
The notion that there is an ideal form of moneymaking for each person is a piece of self-help dogma, not an evidenced fact. To the best of my knowledge and experience, there's no viable job or business that would…
I also have doubts that the benefit is due to monogamy. Hell, I have doubts that the benefit is due to a relationship. It could merely be because the people have a close companion. How many friends do you sleep in the…
When it comes to a lot of electronic music, there is no recording necessary and the artist is the person who mixes/masters. No need for money there Side ramble: I've never understood why people paint "real" bands as…
Some rudimentary consideration of what life is like in a tribe would suggest that greediness and hoarding are evolutionary weaknesses. If you take too much for yourself, others in the tribe get pissed off and get rid of…
This guy is completely innocent and has done no wrong, yet he feels so guilty and tip-toes around everything, just because he has white skin and a penis. That's can only be the result of a movement that is sexist and…
It's pretty fucking rash to say that an attempt to impress someone is equivalent to objectification and sexism. It might reflect an inability to accept rejection, but I would hardly compare it to subhuman treatment…
As someone with a major in Artificial Intelligence, and who seriously just got back from watching Transcendence... The movie was well-researched, and surely enjoyable for anyone contemplative. But they had to be…
So this free website that serves billions of people makes money off the data you knowingly give it to target advertisements. That's what is considered evil nowadays? Does it escape people that this is the only way we're…
Am I the only one who feels a real mental disconnect with the people complaining about Facebook? I read interviews by developers there, where it's pretty evident that they have reasonable perspectives (i.e. they aren't…
Well, of course you are going to get majorities of risky (or even careful) people in particular subsets of society (e.g. Wall Street, Silicon Valley). However, I find people in general have always gotten upset when it…
Let's put that straw man logic more realistically: P1. If you want to have a good degree of health without requiring modern medicine, you should eat food that gives you a good degree of health without requiring modern…
That video didn't debunk anything. It's just 22 minutes of straw man. It's never been about eating exactly what hunter-gatherers ate, and it has never followed any assumption that the hunter-gatherer diet is best…
Equal opportunity does not necessarily mean equal interest. A complete lack of sexism does not necessarily mean equal interest. You are following the assumption that there would be 50/50 proportions of interest (and…
Because the proportion of men and women is not a measure of how sexist the field is.
It doesn't matter how many women there are in the field. If men and women are of equal worth, then why are you looking to get more women in? The men there aren't good enough for you? Now, I understand that some women…
I don't like the "read a book" advice. I end up staying up til 6am reading the goddamn book.
That's nonsense. Facebook is in every home. Being bought by them obviously helps Oculus to be in every home. I'm not exactly cheering over this acquisition, but if one thing's certain, it means Oculus is going to be all…
All you can go off is that? Palmer Luckey basically denied all of your concerns. Even that quote doesn't mean you'll be forced into Facebook's dungeon. It means they want to come up with their own software metaverse,…
There's no indication that they have changed the business model. In fact, that has been explicitly denied. The community is going to fracture, sure: crazy people who jump to conclusions on one side, and reasonable…
