I feel personally wronged by people who stagnate science. I have medical problems that fall through the cracks because of it. I have suffered immensely because of it. Tons of people have I bet. I feel so personally wronged. If it weren’t for that, why would I ever bother caring about this? I wouldn’t have so much venom for slackjaws otherwise...

Name a single group of skeptical dissenters who you think are right. You can’t. But science is always proving itself wrong and just as it has always been, groups of dissenters will overtake the people who preside over convention, scientifically. So which one is it? Is science “finished?” Has everything been figured out or are you just not able to differentiate between dumb people and legitimate dissenters, as I pointed out above?

Fair and true

I just respectfully disagree. So it’s not possible to be civil or polite while pointing out an unfortunate or unpleasant fact? This is obviously ridiculous. It isn’t hounding and it isn’t slurring and it isn’t personal attacks. You have trouble seeing the difference for some reason. All national groups have problems and the only way they get fixed, the only way we’ve made progress, is by refusing to overlook problems for the sake of not stepping on anyone’s toes. Or for the sake of political expediency, Dan.

I just arrived in France. What should I see?

This article is everything that’s wrong with internet media distribution. I’m traveling and my data overseas is very restricted in bandwidth. It takes a long time for the text to even load. And the text is among the first things to be loaded. And things are displayed as they are loaded because of course they designed it that way. And so I have to sit there reading a few lines at a time before another image or formatting element is loaded, shifting the entire column of text randomly in one direction or another. The fucking text randomly moves as I am trying to read it. It’s like it was designed to torture people. And the cherry on top is that it’s not even fucking necessary, as HN demonstrates, because a lean webpage could load everything in a fraction of a second. But no, everyone things it’s a good idea to pass around a fucking megabyte of JavaScript just to read filler articles. Good job. Good.

And thanks to the writhing inbred freak that is modern JavaScript, I get to enjoy another form of tech enlightenment which is that every time I scroll slightly upwards the fucking dynamic title bar pops down and blocks the text that I was reading. And then I scroll down and it goes away, ruining the alignment of the text with the top of the screen which I maintain to aid my reading. And like a tenacious torturer the fucking title bar pops up and down and up and down. I am living forever in the insane JavaScript bouncy house praying to god that I can find some way to kill myself to make the pain stop.

I agree with this.

No dang, you’re wrong. This is like arresting a man who is walking down a dark alley with cash in his pocket for “robbery baiting,” which is insane. His comment is civil, polite and on topic. Censor people who actually flame. don’t punish people for saying what they think is true. Again, this guy hasn’t made any personal attacks or broken the rules in any way. Cmon.

I can attest that cheating is rampant in the UC system. Especially among Asian nationals. College is mostly a joke at this point.

I’m about to be in Rome. If anyone has tips on under-rated things to see and do then I would appreciate hearing about it. I’m already interested in that road you can see from space.

It’s one thing to be obligated to follow the law of the country. But it’s another to be assigned moral guilt for things you have no involvement in.

Thanks so much for the positivity. If you google keto rash you’ll understand why I am prevented from being on Keto for long periods of time. The problem with keto rash is that nobody has actually figured out what causes it.

luckily my symptoms don’t make keto necessary. But I do plan on winning back my sleep at some point. And that battle consists of performing some experiments to figure out what causes keto rash. I’ve already informally shown that it can’t happen without the presence of sweat by restarting keto after applying prescription strength antiperspirant to one half of all rash-prone areas. Without exception, the treated half did not develop irritation. It’s not a cure since covering yourself in prescription strength AP would probably be very dangerous and very expensive.

In between now and the time when treatment of inflammation becomes a part of mainstream medical science, I see myself on keto all the time and taking sub-psychoactive doses of shrooms and DOI once a month. I’m excited to see what that combination feels like.
