Hell, my husband and I voted early... Then left the country. Past tense. Here's to hoping we can come back after the election is over, and if not, for the wellbeing of everyone who didn't plan a "vacation" to a foreign country for the time around the election.

The sentiment of the title instantly makes me think of Russian roulette with a single empty chamber.

Also, another piece of highly relevant information here is actually a reddit thread (read: case study information) about someone who did not experience puberty until FAR later in life through a congenital difference that causes them to not produce testosterone: they were very clear that this...

I already pointed out how I would frame it: there was no "open way". This does raise questions when everyone involved lacks the money to really "leave". You can only throw a 1 meter tungsten cube so far with a rotten rubber band after all, and just trying may cause no change and break the...

The face is also distorted and wrong. This is all obvious proof that Biden is a Lizard Person!!!111 /S

Well, I'm pretty impressed with these Dutch breakfast pastries which I never would have gotten to have every day hence forth without a healthy dose of Philosophy of science and reason getting us away from the religion of Christianity and thoughts of the 1940's

Philosophy bakes no bread, but paradoxically leads us to baking better bread. It leads us to identify the processes of variation and experimentation that lead to new things, ones that are often simply better than the old ones. Inevitably this includes some that are quite a bit worse, things that...

Philosophy never baked a loaf of bread, but it did help us learn how to bake bread efficiently, and apply logistics and reason out how to effectively distribute it, as well as reasons for bakers to bake it.

I would hazard to say that 90% of the problem comes from 10% of the population, and that by dealing with that 10% of troublemakers will resolve said 90% of the issue. Given that this 10% of troublemakers in any group is active in disregarding the rights of others, I am not bothered by...

This is more an issue of consenting to therapy and change in a momentary circumstance, consenting to the change itself, and then breaking the condition which created the consented outcome, though. It's not "involuntary" so much, it's just a treatment that places people in a fragile equilibrium...

Not to mention that forcing someone into some form of closed environment because they do not conform to your social expectations, especially in a climate where those social expectations veer away from acknowledgement of the human condition itself, seems particularly bent as a worldview. You...

Jesus fuck, that was demented. Nowhere on earth is there a place where people in America can just conveniently go find a mountainside to live on that is none of (cult), (protected park land), or (owned by someone else). The power to do that without eventually being stopped is an extreme luxury...

Speaking of public order issues, my husband and I just got back from the grocery store, having bought groceries for our first week or two here and I feel absolutely betrayed by America: our bin cost us ~50 bucks, which in the US would be closer to 70 or even 90 in the US. Some things were more...

Ok, I'll bite: what are the consequences of a person with a given archetype vicariously experiencing the life of another person of that archetype through communication between people other than "soul travel" and potentially "rebirth", if the things that make them as they are/were are a...

Test apparatus and particles: pulling information about "a particle" inevitably requires a change in the particle to generate that information except in very rare cases such as time crystals, and that's less "not changing" and more "changing back again completely after the interaction"

Never mind that for the VAST majority of primate existence, eating what you found was easy enough and few people ever actually participated in acquiring that food. Most people spent the vast majority of their life as the homeless do today, and we think for some bizarre reason that means they...

I don't see how this is even so hard of a conversation (for certain participants). The options are extremely limited: you either send them somewhere they don't want to be by force (such as "up a smokestack"), or you entice them to be somewhere you would rather them be through social means.

I mean, we don't know what the periodicity of the slowing is, do we? And if we do... Does it coincide with field orientation changes? It could very well be that the technology we use to find "north" may itself change. Not that we can stop it, mind, but we should probably figure out and file a...

I mean, it's squeezing the life out of them for whatever fucked up belief that it will improve everyone else's life. It is twisted human sacrifice, just with extra steps added.

I'll point out, we bleeding heart hippie liberals have said what our solution would be. We are quite solution forward... It's just that for whatever reason those solutions received a "hard no" from the right. There aren't really many other places to go from there, though, beyond creating a...
