    hmm, what's the percentage of white serial killers in the USA compared to other ethnicities?

    That's funny. Always go around throwing your stupid thoughts at people? You think you know better what word I wanted to use? Sorry mister mastered-by-his-reality.

    No thanks. I'm a citizen of two american countries, neither of which are fond of being associated with the USA. There is no disadvantage for a specific term for a country of people. Unless you're a USian, of course, I hear they have problems with correct labels. How long have they been calling Native Americans Indians again?

    Nah, I saw it, but in slashdot tradition I didn't allow a little fact like that stop me from spouting my diatribe. :)

    Huh. +5 interesting for not RTFA and realizing neither the summary nor the article know what they're talking about. I guess that is interesting.

    That's too funny. USians use the WTO to try and fuck over other countries all the time, then ignore the WTO everytime it does something illegal, like stealing canadian lumber.

    I like to give people the opportunity to give it some thought first.

    Brain=tool

    Environment affects tools, like humidity on wooden planes. We therefore take measures to reduce or eliminate those effects.

    Emotional processing and logic processing take place in the same liquid environment of the brain. Social interaction alters your brain chemistry in a way necessary for your well being. Book smarts comes at the expense of social smarts. Our time is finite.

    What makes you think there isn't another way? Oh right, you were indoctrinated with that fear. Such pretty little sheep.

  13. What would be really useful on CES: Automatic Plant Monitoring Through Your Computer or iPhone (Video) · · Score: 1
    Is a cheap dumb sensor that you could deploy in a mesh network in orchards and farms. $99 isn't even worth the cost of replacing a single plant, unless it's a rare plant and then you're probably already observant enough to notice when a plants leaves aren't full and it needs water.

    Or just use appropriate plants. I did experiments on spider plants, given the right root system and humidity I went 6 months without watering one of them before it started getting nutrient deficient.

    Maybe they wonder why you guys wander around bitching about things that can't be changed and don't understand why you can't give a flying fuck about all the social things that are happening around you that could be changed?

    Why, there's a novel idea, different point of views lead to different concerns. Who would have thunk it??? Now we just have to wait for people to get over the 'individuality indoctrination' they've undergone and realize that points of view are just different configurations your mind/body can assume. You want to be blissfully ignorant? Take your awareness out of your mind and put it in your body.

    Depressed affect /= depression. I depress my affect anytime I need to think clearly. It's switchable, which is why affect got depressed AFTER Raven's matrices.

    Unfortunately, intelligence has nothing to do with wisdom.

    The wise realize that a single individual has an impact on everything that he comes into contact with. Since we are in a closed system, every action you take has the potential to spread to all parts of the system. Choose your actions wisely.

    It's not a con if you get the result you paid for.

    At least placebos don't cause birth defects.

    I always think there's something wrong with people who see placebos as the devil. Here is something that is totally free and is usually within 5-10% effectiviness of pills that cost billions and have thousands of side effects. Yes, let's all look down on the dumb people.

    Hey, there's even a correlation between jocks and physical injuries! What new great mysteries lie ahead of us?

    Hell, we might eventually learn tools need to be maintained or they can't do their job properly anymore. It's going to be hard for a disposable culture to actually learn how to maintain body, mind, soul (whatever the hell the last one means).

    Depends. When you keep having a bully spreading 'freedom' and destroying everything in it's wake, you can't peacefully go along with your business. You either have to try and stand up to them or be dissolved.
