no one is taking your PS5

if anything we are trying to get you more PS5

*If your coworkers vote that you may be allowed one.

Wow, you people are fucking delusional I swear

You people?

Is that asking your friends for a Ps5 example legit?

Not your friends, your coworkers:

Viewer Question:

"Under your system of worker cooperatives would I still get my Playstation 5?"

Wolff's Answer:

"Absolutely! You'd have to struggle a little bit for it. You'd have to talk to your fellow workers. You'd have to talk about the distribution of income. You'd have to compare your desire for playstation against all the other interests of all the other people. It wouldn't be something you worked out on your own with your particular boss in any way. It would have to be a democratic decision. You would have to come to terms with that the way you do with democratic decisions that you do now in our society to the extent that we have them."

Oh yeah, Richard Wolff is the guy trying to argue that, if you want a PS5 in the worker co-op system he envisions, you would have to convince your coworkers to vote for you to be able to get one.

Yeah, empathy is really fucking hard logic to understand.

Empathy does not mean being nice or kind.

Could be fake, but I could see it easily being real. And its for the stated reasons.

If you're an attractive woman on a dating app, you're probably used to a ton of guys constantly giving you attention. To having your pick of the lot.

Going into the real world and finding that guys aren't actually going to throw themselves at your feet for your selection is probably a jarring experience.

Dating apps are really a cancerous scam.

He said 20 in the interview, but said on their reddit that he walks dogs 2 hours a day, 5 days a week.

If I sign in to my account on the brave browser, will the ads find me, or am I still guaranteed a hassle free no ad experience?

I'm signed into my youtube account on Brave and I dont get youtube ads.

Honestly, the only ads that I actually watch are Internet Historians, only because his ads are the funniest shit to watch and I'm surprised the sponsors allow him to get away with half the shit does with them >_______>

This guy gets it.

Now if only he'd release a new video more than once every few months.

At this point, I dont usually use the app. I play the video in the Brave browser. No ads and I can swap tabs without pausing the video.

First and fifteenth of every month.

Yes.

Hard pass.

I can't take anyone with a cow piercing in their nose seriously as an adult.

What did they announce?

Raising Canes is best.

If you want to read about weirdos and crazy people, and see the weirdos who track those weirdos, just go to Kiwifarms or something.

Yeah you can fuck off with calling disabilities defects.

They are though. It might not be kind to say, but its true.

If you're blind, you have defective eyes. If you're deaf, you have defective ears. If you can't walk, you have defective legs or spine, etc.

AceMos posted...

oh its a disability

what i said is its not a defect

Those are the same thing. Disabilities are defects.

It really all falls into place. He objects to the idea of a cure, because if he were cured he wouldn't be able to collect his monthly tugboat anymore.

AceMos posted...

not what i said at all ive constantly brought up CONSENT

You're really bending the truth. Your initial posts could quite accurately be characterized as "but what about meeee", when your only actual input was "I'm autistic and I dont want to be cured" and "its who I am".

Well, that and some denialism about it being a disability.

It wasn't until later that you pivoted to consent.

Does Frank want to flap his hands around, or is it caused by a neurodivergent developmental disorder he has no control over? Does he like being blunt, or would he prefer to be able to interact more personably?

Frank has the choice, and if it's a chip (a magical cure-all chip, from the sounds of the interview) - he can flip it back off, if he prefers what it was like before. What's wrong with that? In fact, the Chip - gives Frank a choice, that nature never did.

Don't sugarcoat it.

Ask the darker questions:

Does Frank need life-long caretakers because he can't stop committing self-harm when he gets upset? Hitting himself over the head until its bruised and biting his hands until they're calloused and bloody?

Does he need someone to help regulate his bathroom habits, because he still gets so engrossed in things that he has an accident on himself?

Does he need someone to track his hygiene, because he neglects to bathe, shower, or clean himself without prompting?

Does he need to be watched for violent outbursts because he can't regulate his emotions or understand the consequences of his actions? So, he may hurt other people or destroy things?

Does he need someone responsible to constantly monitor him, because he has limited capacity for his own safety and lacks the ability to call emergency services if something does happen?

What I'm getting at is autism can be much more severe than a little hand flapping.

COVxy posted...

Naw, it's more like the high-functioning community has hijacked the narrative and actively ignored the needs of those who are low-functioning like they don't exist.

Those who are low-functioning cannot advocate for themselves, and their own community would seemingly prefer they didn't exist. All of which is just fucked up.

I think this is largely true.

Autistic people are often depicted as otherwise normal people with some awkward personality quirks. Frequently overlooking all of the developmental delays and disabilities you'd find in the mid and lower sections of the spectrum.

I seriously doubt Musk on this, but having such a cure or treatment for autism would be fantastic. Or schizophrenia for that matter.

That was a long time ago. So, I want to say Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6.

Maybe even A Link to the Past.

Final Fantasy 7, Xenogears, Ocarina of Time, and Mario 64 were big wow factors in gaming for me too.

This is like the flip side of the other school district removing Maus from the curriculum.

You don't need to go back thar far. People were complaining about the size of the roster when it came out a few years ago.

Starting to think TC is no where near as intelligent as he thinks he is.

Nah, I think he was pretty clever with this one. He knows its not the same Chris Poole, but he had some dupes immediately buy it and then the rest of us actually take the time to look up the inconsistencies.

Safe to assume it's a different guy especially because if it really was him you'd probably have a lot more media articles about it right now. They couldn't look away from a story like that.

Absolutely.

If he was arrested 4 days ago, you'd have numerous news articles about it online and a lot more people gloating.

I would be genuinely surprised if this was Moot.

Different age, different eye color.

The most popular anime series right now have really great animation but generic storylines and rushed character development. So I guess for most people as long as the fight scenes look nice it doesn't matter if everything else is just a copy and paste from other popular series

I think that must be the appeal of Demon Slayer. I watched the first season and its a beautifully animated series, but the characters and story is just boring.

* There are 68,037 people in the U.S. with the last name Poole.
* Statistically the 549th most popular last name.

75 "Chris Poole"s according to that site too.

Until we see a picture or real confirmation, I'm just going to assume this is just a funny coincidence.

Suggestss the guy is 35 and has brown eyes.

Moot is 33 - 34 and has blue eyes.

I dont know where Moot lives.

Pretty sure this is a different guy and TC jumped the gun with what they thought was a big scoop.

But it is a hilarious coincidence.

No, if you're not Korean or terminally online, you could easily go your entire life without ever having heard of a random KPop band.

I will also say, when I saw BTS in the topic title, I thought it was Behind the Scenes jokes. Like he was making off color jokes about bat soup or something when the cameras were off.

https://law.duke.edu/sports/sex-sport/comparative-athletic-performance/

From the first line: "there is an average 10-12% performance gap between elite males and elite females."

10-12% is basically what I said earlier. That 10% looks like a lot at arbitrary sports games. In terms of biology it's not that much difference.

Did you read past the first line?

Because, unless I'm not reading it incorrectly, you may find that they deliberately excluded events in which men and women have different standards.

The example they use is the shot put, in which men throw almost twice as much weight as women do.

Of course, if you cut out the events that require men to compete at a higher standard, it'll make the differences look closer than they they are.

Also, as per the notes of the article:

Numbers marked with a + indicate events where the cutoff set by the IAAF for the mens or boys list was faster than the top womans result for 2017; therefore, it is possible that more men or boys have outperformed the top womans result and were not included on the list.
* The 2017 world best in the womens category in the 800 meters was run by an athlete who is widely reported to have testes and T levels in the male range.

Now, again, perhaps I misunderstand, but that suggests to me that the data they're using would further artificially narrow the gap between men and women athletes.

Second, comparing athletic performance in specific track and field events is not something I would consider a good indicator of the difference between the strength levels of men and women.

For that, you'd probably be better off examining things like grip strength and lifting ability. You'll find that even untrained males are stronger than even athletic females and, last I checked, at the best women are only about 60 - 75% as strong as equivalent men. Especially with regard to upper body strength.

Pitbull with irresponsible owners? This is a recipe for disaster.

A bit redundant, since owning a pitbull at all is pretty irresponsible.

Robot2600 posted...

I was a while in writing that post and reading some more stuff.

Even in modern humans, the fact that men are "stronger" than women is 90% social construct. women are literally scared away from working out too much and "getting too big." sure testosterone or whatever, but if you ever go to the gym you know there is nothing stopping girls from getting ripped except societal standards.

think about the varsity girls in high school, they could kick most people's ass.

I've worked out with women as workout partners and inevitably they are lifting as much as me in many areas in just as much time as it would take a guy.

Anyway the Penn State article talks about how it was previously thought that levels of dimorphism were high (that's why you guys are finding so much stuff about that, this new research is only 7 years old).

"Previous convention in the field was that there were high levels of dimorphism in the Australopithecus afarensis population," said Philip Reno, assistant professor of anthropology, Penn State. "Males were thought to be much larger than females."

[...]

The article goes on, but it talks about how the statistical methodology used in the past was wrong, with Lucy being assumed to be a typical sample, and thus counted many times in most calculations (specifically in the past when there were less available samples). The new study just counts every sample that we have once.

edit: to therefore discover that dimorphism was less in the past and has increased with time, rather than the inverse, or staying stable.

Is this a long lost Sillyknees alt?

He's the only one I've ever seen try to suggest that the strength differences between men and women are almost entirely socially constructed. That just isn't true.

I'm subbed to RLM and Townsends too. I like them. Can't speak for the others.

I'm subbed to like 108 channels, but I don't think all of them are really active anymore. And some are redundant archive channels.

My area is expecting to see 2 - 4 inches of snow, with wind gusts of up to 40mph.

My impression is that Fox asked for her specifically when talking about an interview. They'd done their homework and were getting someone who they knew was going to discredit the movement as much as possible.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/3/0/AAB8o_AAC2xW.jpg

Fox sent an email to the mods via mod mail. They asked for AbolishWork. The mod staff agreed that they though they would be their best representative, because they had done interviews before.

So, they really shot themselves in the foot there.

I must say, though. I'm impressed he has as much as he does with just a dog-walking job. He's able to pay for a room, pay for phone and its data, Internet at home and even a decent gaming life.

Almost certainly lives with their parents.

Of the choices, I would say Frieza.

Goku vs Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga is still the best fight in all of DBZ though.

Baiken has gotten progressively wilder hair and bigger tits with each sequel.
