I think it demonstrates that Trump regularly puts himself in compromising situations and compromises himself to cover them up.

Really sheds light on the plausibility of Russia having something on him.

Not to mention, recent implications actually are crimes, such as physical intimidation or the potential campaign finance fraud.

Am I the only who feels like having a campus for colleges is an outdated idea since you can easily take all of your courses on the internet, including watching recorded lectures and reading online copies of books? Once an infrastructure for online college is set up properly, I don't see any reason not to offer it for free or at least an extremely low fee.


University campuses are a lot more than just schools.

What do you think they have on campuses that students couldn't get elsewhere? Are you talking about research facilities and stuff like that?


Yes, access to research facilities. Training in actual science, etc...

Is there a name for the mildest case of autism? Where does Aspergers fits in the spectrum?

there's no such thing as "mild autism" - "aspergers" is now called "high-functioning autism", which has its own issues, but at least it ackowledges that they aren't different things.

the only real difference between "high-functioning autism" and other spectrum disorders is that it's easier for neurotypicals to understand the former, so they label it something different

also, TC: are you aware that every autistic adult who went through ABA has PTSD because of it? that the founder of ABA used electroshock "therapy" to attempt to "cure" them? that, even without electroshock, it's abuse?


We've been through this, your stance isn't based on evidence. Stop spreading it like it's the truth.

it is truth, and I'll spread it however much I want, thank you


A truth pedaled by a nonscientist in a subject for which he has no technical expertise.

a truth pedaled by autistic people who have been through ABA and have PTSD and other issues stemming from it


Right, your subjective sense of causality in your own anecdote is more rigorous than systematic objective analyses across large samples of the population.

I mean, I never said you were wrong, just that people who say that shit are usually ones who have a cursory understanding. You didn't really say much in this topic except spout condescension, so it's hard to say without inferring a lot.

But, based on the little you posted and supported:
Yes, fear is adaptive. But it can be maladaptive too. Stating that it can be adaptive isn't arguing that it isn't maladaptive in these circumstances.

Yes, fear can cause "fighting", but it also has a whole host of other responses, including the most well studied, freezing in rodents.

More or less, the responses didn't mean much because at best they were shitty representations of the truth.

Please take a biology class to learn what fear actually is. I know it might be against your personal beliefs to learn about the human body but its better than looking foolish.


It's funny, usually when people tell others facetiously to take a biology class, I find those people tend to be woefully undereducated on the topic themselves.

Yeah, usually it's a CT angiogram and a FLAIR MRI if stroke is suspected as far as I know.

Stroke symptoms are extremely variable, since the location of strokes are variable, though there's certainly more common locations.

Either way, if you're really worried, just go to the doctor.

Yeah, that strong interaction is surprising and important to talk about, but wealth is still the largest factor here.


the chance of a black person in the top quintile being in the second lowest quintile is nearly the same as if they grew up in the bottom quintile

the explanatory power of wealth is much, much stronger for white people than black people, and wealth only seems so predictive because most people in this country are white (and very few are black, relatively speaking)

imo


I mean, you're ignoring two things:
1. That wealth distribution in the 'born rich' graphic is extremely atypical, even for the black population, meaning they are still better off than the typical person.
2. Wealth is a continuous factor, if you look at the 'born poor' category, what you are seeing as explanatory power is pretty high in both.
