| Topic | A few people audibly groaned at seeing gay people in It Chapter 2's opening |
| COVxy 09/07/19 9:38:04 PM #14 | BilalPowell posted... Announcing that they're gay is just a spoiler for the rest of the movie. Obviously they have to survive the movie or Pennywise would be called homophobic and he can't handle that. Led-Zeppelin posted... did they overbearingly emphasize their lgbt status like so many shows and movies do these days? Uhhh... You guys are off the mark here. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Y'all remember dragooneerzero? |
| COVxy 09/07/19 9:17:48 PM #40 | Seems like ages ago. This board has been shit for a long time, tbh. Then it really got destroyed by 2016 election, and we're all just holding false hope that things will return back. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | MIT hid extent of Jeffrey Epstein's donations |
| COVxy 09/07/19 11:37:55 AM #19 | Antifar posted... Philanthropy from someone like Epstein is reputation laundering. It's what allowed him to continue to rub shoulders with respectable society. I think that's pretty much bullshit. It's just fun to burn bridges due to associations with Epstein. Sells lots papers. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | MIT hid extent of Jeffrey Epstein's donations |
| COVxy 09/07/19 9:52:20 AM #10 | I've been actually struggling to see how accepting money from Epstein is morally problematic. Take an unethical rich guy's money that would otherwise be used for unethical purposes and use it to fund good ethical work. Don't see an issue, tbh. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | I regret missing out on being a PhD student |
| COVxy 09/06/19 8:23:07 PM #27 | You shouldn't. You are extremely underpaid and extremely overworked. Meanwhile nobody understands what it is PhD students do, so you'll get no understanding or real empathy from those around you. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| Topic | Bernie Sanders: Pay College Athletes |
| COVxy 09/06/19 7:36:44 PM #54 | Questionmarktarius posted... Yet, some random guy from town can't give the athlete money either, and will probably start a scandal by paying the football team to do random yard work. I don't understand the point you are trying to make. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Bernie Sanders: Pay College Athletes |
| COVxy 09/06/19 7:33:45 PM #52 | hockeybub89 posted... But they aren't getting any salary. They are getting a scholarship and then being more restricted than anyone. Someone could get an academic scholarship and also find a way to make mad money while in school. But a random volleyball player might get in trouble for washing their car on campus or accepting a free lunch. Athletes are making the school money. Fuck the schools for not giving them a real piece of the pie. It's not like the revenue is actually helping the schools They don't need to accept a free lunch, they already get it. Many scholarships come with terms and preconditions, btw. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Bernie Sanders: Pay College Athletes |
| COVxy 09/06/19 7:24:58 PM #49 | hockeybub89 posted... I too love it when my employer keeps all the profit for himself. Why should I make money? If you calculated our perks and burden in the university system, I'm sure these 18 year olds are raking in quite a hefty salary. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| Topic | Do you consider evolution to be 100% proven fact? |
| COVxy 09/06/19 6:42:10 PM #106 | GreatEvilEmpire posted... If you mean evolution in that sense, then yes, I believe it That is the sense in which everyone means it when they discuss the theory of evolution. Exact lineages are not part of this. You don't have an issue with evolution. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Do you consider evolution to be 100% proven fact? |
| COVxy 09/06/19 6:19:11 PM #98 | I didn't ask you that, I only asked if you agreed with the statements provided. I assume the answer is yes, which means, great, you find evolution plausible. What you are skeptical of, and actually you should be a bit skeptical of, is the exact lineage of species. The evidence for exactly how species evolved is far less concrete than the evidence that evolution exists. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Do you consider evolution to be 100% proven fact? |
| COVxy 09/06/19 5:52:59 PM #94 | GreatEvilEmpire posted... And yet Let's make this simple. Do you find the following statements terribly controversial? 1. Animals most well adapted to the environment they live in are most likely to survive. 2. Traits are heritable (meaning passed from parents to offspring) 3. Some traits make certain animals more adapted to their environment than others. Because that's pretty much all Darwin's original formulation was (plus or minus one or two i don't currently remember). Then modern synthesis simply specifies the 2nd point with genetic and molecular mechanisms. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Do you consider evolution to be 100% proven fact? |
| COVxy 09/06/19 5:38:16 PM #82 | GreatEvilEmpire posted... Even though I know you're probably just trolling, it's an important misconception to clear up. Evolution != the lineage of humans. Double post, whoops. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

And to suggest having data makes a theory both fact and theory is silly. Because then all theories are both fact and theory. The only reason you're seeing it explained that way, the only reason there's a specific wiki entry re:evolution like that, is because evolution has been politicized. It's a way to play with words to lazily argue a point that could be better made appropriately. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
