Despite all my rage I’m still a rat refreshing this page.

naevaTheRat,

So firstly that is a non sequitur. Either we are talking about whether the sacrifice demanded is unethically steep or we are talking whether the initiative is ineffective.

Lets put that aside though, just making a note this is a separate point to explore.

I would first ask what you mean by voting quality. Could you explain?

naevaTheRat,

I think we should let people say what they mean themselves if we want to understand each other.

naevaTheRat,

Yeah that doesn’t mean we’re running on an alien projector. Science communication of theoretical physics is horrible.

Anytime you find yourself getting excited about some galaxy brain SciFi stuff just clap out some chalk board erasers and inhale the dust. That’s about how pleasant and exciting theoretical physics is (and how worth doing, fight me you keyboard tapping nerds) and it should help you get in the mood for appreciating findings.

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

naevaTheRat,

So you say the difference is some moral deficiency? ok well why don’t we try and treat that. After all we need pain killers in medicine and we want to make them as safe as possible.

Let’s call junkeyism a disease and see how we can stop it happening. Maybe by understanding if some people respond better or worse to different kinds of drugs, maybe we could identify a test we could do to work out what would be safe for someone?

Like what do you think it means when a doctor calls something a disease? People can make bad decisions and still get diseases. If inject yourself with the blood of everyone you meet you’ll eventually get a few, they don’t stop being a disease just because you gave it to yourself (and also we might ask why someone felt compelled to do something so foolish and could we have helped them).

naevaTheRat,

2 people take the same dose of heroin, they repeat the experience 5 times each on the same time line. Lets say they both has the same surgery. One person stops easily, experiencing mild withdrawal that feels like a flu and goes on with their life without ever thinking about it again. The other feels a powerful compulsion to take more, they maintain their usage say initially through extending a medical script and later the black market.

What was different between the two? Maybe you think person 2 had terrible moral character but if they had never been given heroin this would never have manifested. We call that pathological difference a disease and try and treat it. What would you call it?

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

naevaTheRat,

I wholeheartedly agree.

Starwars is RA Salvatore for people embarrassed about liking elves rendered into a film. All of the artistic stuff is just lifted from Kurosawa, watch those films instead they’re actually good.

naevaTheRat,

If you think it is acceptable to lash out at someone you’re mean and if you can’t find ways to communicate clearly without lashing out you’re a bad communicator.

Linux/open source has a massive problem with finding maintainers and contributors for critical projects and a significant contributor is just how awful the communication culture of programmers is.

naevaTheRat,

omfg it’s already happening.

Echoing my post on masto: Does asafoetida smell amazing to you?

Does asafoetida smell amazing to you? and if yes do you consider yourself someone with an accurate sense of smell (e.g. identify if someone needs dental work in a conversation, smell who someone has been hanging out with, identify spices and herbs used in a meal with high accuracy, identify the perfume someone wears etc)

naevaTheRat,

Interesting. I find garlic delicious all of the time. Well except maybe when I’m feeling amorous and it’s on my beloved’s breath :p

I think I understand what you’re saying though. What is your experience of things like scented washing chemicals (deodorant/shampoo/soap/detergent) etc. Can you tolerate them? Or do you find them overwhelming?

what about vegetable decay, like compost. Aversive? or neutral?

naevaTheRat,

You probably should learn the basics of your car, or develop a relationship with someone who is good at/knows cars and pick a few things up from them.

You rely on it working correctly to not die and the company that makes it would happily let you die if they calculated it was more profitable that way.

Like it’s a good thing to have basic knowledge of the stuff we rely on. You don’t need to be an expert but total ignorance is a very vulnerable position.

naevaTheRat,

It’s a mother. fucking. chi!

naevaTheRat,

You’ll be old one day!

naevaTheRat,
