  1. No, you believe that. on Linus Torvalds On Linux's Code of Conduct (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You believe that the nonsense that the psychological "profession" advocates actually has some merit because you specifically made a judgement of my character calling it "psychological damage". Damage with respect to what? Not respecting and honoring your nonsense? More circular logic. You fail again.

  2. Yeah, right.... on Linus Torvalds On Linux's Code of Conduct (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll consult a "Psychologist" for guidance on what is an what is not appropriate, intellectually interesting, and worthy. NOT! That is the problem with psychology, religion, etc., it wants to set itself up as the judge of what is and what is not right without providing any evidence for its conclusions beyond a constant self-flagellating, circle-jerk of circular logic. No, psychology is not something to be held up. It is garbage.

    >> human psychology

    Yeah, I'm going to base things on the pseudo-scientific clap-trap that is "Human Psychology" and "Religion" and other non-sensical fantasies. The only good use I've ever found for psychology or religion is the books make a good source of emergency paper in a diarrhea situation. Psychology and religion are something for people with little ability to accomplish anything of value to run their mouths about.

  7. I think it more likely that the children who listen to their parents about limiting screen time and other harmful activities are the brighter, more creative children. You can only tell a dip-shit so many times to stop wasting their time on garbage and apply themselves to something useful. You can lead a horse to water, but, you can't make them drink.

    >> it isn't that you said "fuck," it is that you said "fuck off."

    What if he said, "Bugger off to a convent"? Or "Sod off to a convent"? Or "Take yourself without haste in a most aggressive fashion off to a convent"? Are they any better? If not, then the issue isn't "Foul Words" but "Foul Intent", right? It is what I've always argued. There are no "Foul Words", there is no "Cursing", there is only being decent and cordial and not. The specific words matter little. Many consider it a form of art to insult someone while seeming to be polite. I consider those people to be fucking worthless pieces of shit not worthy of not shitting upon.

    >> There's usually no reason for foul language.

    Bullshit (a euphemism for "I disagree"). Why are some words special? I argue they are not. It is only idiotic brain-washing as a kid that makes you think some words have the status of "Foul". There is no objective reason to single out particular words. Sorry, you just don't have a legitimate argument beyond "what you prefer".

  10. Satire. The two are slightly different things.

  11. But, I was engaging in "Satire", a form of humor that's purpose is to critique and draw attention to a social issue. So, "Funny" is appropriate in my book. "Funny" as in humorously on point.

    >> also shows that girls do better than boys in non-STEM subjects.

    So, we need to have a massive influx of cash, capital, action to ensure that boys catch up to girls in non-STEM subjects. Boys go to and graduate from college less frequently than girls. There needs to be massive encouragement and support for boys to attend college. Something must be done. It is unconscionable that boys are being left behind like this. There seems to be a massive, systematic, institutional prejudice against boys that is causing them to fail. Something must be done. Boys are 50% of the population, but, they are not 50% of College graduates. Something must be done. There should be scholarships and camps and meetings and web-sites and discussion forums and bridge groups. This is absolutely unfair and shows a great prejudice and discrimination against boys and maleness.

    It is clear that Women and Men cannot meaningfully work together. There needs to be separate workplaces, schools, drinking fountains, restaurants, bars, clubs, gyms, roads, buses, trains, planes, and automobiles for men and women. Men can go off in a corner by themselves and work until all their endeavors fail and burn as they inevitably will. Women can have a work-place and other facilities free of toxic masculinity and mysogenistic, testosterone fueled hostility where they can become the great inventors, scientists, teachers, craftswomen, (basically, any interesting and fulfilling job, but, nothing like garbage-men) that they all deserve to be and the world will be a nirvana of greatness instead of the shithole that men have stumbled into over the eons. Yay for the future! Purge the men from society!

    Go read the constitution. Go read the constitutions of the states. Check which states have economic leverage. Then tell me Federal Law supersedes State Law. Period. I say you're full of it. Prove me wrong. States' Rights. States' Rights. States' Rights!

    You know what gives States Rights? Economic Leverage. Who has it? Who doesn't? If you're answer to the former is Red States in central and southern states, you'd be wrong. California has enormous economic influence. If you think they can't flex those muscles, you are naive to say the least.

  19. Say what I want you to say or else???? Who is practicing, "My way or else"? Curtailing freedom of speech is the first step towards tyranny. Tyranny, should and must be met with violence.

  21. I consider comments by Anonymous Cowards to be words of cowards.

  22. I flat out reject and refuse to accept that curse words are off limits. No words are off limits. Anyone who says otherwise is, to me, and enemy of democracy and freedom and should be put out of the world's misery. Preferably with a hammer to the skull. That being said, I see no reason to personally attack people for who they are, but, I have no problem attacking them for what they do. That's just the way it should be. Simple as that.

  23. So, when it is said "Missing" in this context they mean missing in the sense of predictions of the Standard Model with respect to the conditions of the early Universe when baryonic matter formed, correct? Or is there some other definition of "Missing" relevant here? Does this cull any avenues of exploration with respect to the Standard Model? What are the implications for things like Loop Quantum Gravity and/or String Theory?
