... and I was making the observation that if a beard is the sign of an adult, then women can't be adults. Are you sure you feel like an adult, or are you talking about feeling like a man? This isn't a meaningless…
I have a philosophy degree. I don't feel discouraged, I feel embarrassed that my software colleagues are so thin-skinned and pedestrian. What you're calling "bizarre" is some entry level philosophy of gender, bro.
He achieved all those things before his illness though. He had financial independence, status, and a career before he became paralysed. This means he could pay for his own nursing, and that's exactly why people see him…
I was actually laughing out loud because I thought the image of him not feeling like an adult because of his patchy beard was very comical. You (and other posters) are the ones being all touchy. I've got 14 downvotes…
So quadriplegics and other people with insoluble medical issues that make their lives dependent on others can never grow up?
tl;dr paraplegics and others who can't survive without the care of others are eternal children
So stay at home house wives can never be adults?
This is hilarious. But do you realize you're implying that women can't be adults? The discussion sounds a lot like 'when do you become a man' than it does 'when do you become an adult.' For instance, most women…
FreeBSD is going to eventually adopt a systemd-like approach. So people who switch for this reason will be betrayed down the line.
You aren't expecting much from the government. Who has more resources and power than the government? If Zuck had that much power I'm sure he would do a lot more than just give free internet.
And yet gravity is still going strong... Make an ally out of gravity and you can use its strength for something half-decent instead of all-bad. I think this land grab by Facebook is half-decent instead of all-bad.…
if it appears incoherent to you, it is because you are illiterate
Even though it's obviously a land grab... no one other than massive corporations is capable or willing to provide this. I don't like it either, but that's how corporatocracy works. Might as well fight against gravity.
the answer to your questions: yes, yes, and yes. but there is one more factor: Asians have way higher IQs than whites.
That riot in no way threatened the existence of the state, or the privileges of the elite. Your example proves my point. There is nothing to fear from the poor. They are completely checked and have no access to power…
In all of history, the elite have never been more secure. They've never had anything close to the level of surveillance and policing as today. The police today are literally thousands of times more effective at their…
Why should the people in power ever institute this? It would ruin all of them.
None of those things make people happy. Childcare, healthcare, education, shelter, world travel, free time, organic food. Keep your trinkets and baubles.
But so many of the terrorists were well educated. They don't suffer lack of money or education, they suffer from a lack of meaning in their lives.
Bill Gates is actually very concerned with reducing population growth. I think you have an OK point and the more intelligent rich people like Elon Musk are the ones furthering your agenda. Bill and Zuck were always too…
These people you're describing are no different than the old aristocracy. Aristocrats have always attempted to live a comfortable, quiet life of idle pleasures. A Rockefeller or Ford figure that works really hard is the…
The best recipe for monogamy is clear: * Keep rape illegal * Reduce male economic inequality * Reduce female personal wealth Since rape would still be illegal, female desire would still be the agent that determines…
Rape is illegal. Since males can't force females to procreate, female choice is the deciding agent in determining who mates with who. Females choose mates based on their genetic fitness and their ability to provide…
It has nothing to do with gender equality. It has to do with economic inequality between males. Economic inequality between males means more and more women are competing for a smaller supply of wealthy males. Increased…
By "access" are you just referring to prostitution?
