To put this less passionately, digging up dirt on people results in power. The dirt is a commodity. The most valuable kind, worth leverage, clout, influence, control. From this perspective, setting aside thoughts of morality and malice, it's quite the reasonable thing to do.

Which is another way of saying, a very credible thing to expect. Whatever is "just good business." can be considered increasingly certain at higher scales.

Doublepost to provide inconsequential concessions:

- Physiology "presents itself" in an arrangement that's adapted for, beyond other design, the prioritization of what is objectively most central to reproducing a species and sustaining genetic diversity. It's ubiquitous because like most adaptations, it follows the one-way road of optimization. Oops, metaphored again.

- Expendability scenarios will present themselves in circumstances softer than extinction. Regardless of what cultures decided was appropriate in the past, or decides tomorrow, the response is asymmetric today. I won't express an opinion on whether the asymmetry is right or wrong, but equality advocates have theirs predetermined. By definition.

Males are also considered expendable. I'm not whining (as in, I'm just observing the fact), but it's expected that males get the last lifeboat, if any. Which is kinda the correct answer in a survival situation, biology says protect the more-valuable factories, the half that has the hatcheries.

I imagine it's rare for the effect to surface plainly - leaping in front of bullets is for movies. But it does skew expectations less consciously. So for anyone who applies their time after equality, it reasons that it belongs on the checklist.

That would be irresponsible, bloodthirsty, and immoral. Both of you.

Still worth it, tenfold. When can you start?

Every day you eat slimy, endless snot and there's nothing you can about it.

That's probably one of the milder items in the "your whiny criteria will qualify you as disgusting" backpack.

Schools?

Personally, I'd expect to see signs on every office, library, store, business, government building, restaurant, laundromat, bowling alley, etc etc etc that say "NO SHIRT NO SHOES NO LEPERS"

I'm not just pawing them at random! I can stay focused sometimes!

One thing that bugs me about these is that people seem to get the unconscious takeaway that the guy gets off scott free. That he walks away without consequence for his words. And they think to themselves (pretty reasonably) "that's unacceptable!" and even "we need to make the law more interpretable and arbitrary!"

But keep in mind that (like other behavior that isn't OMG FORBIDDEN BY FEDERAL LAW) pissing off employers, peers, friends/enemies, etc. will most certainly indeed have consequences. Society has it's own control effects without having to indulge (and fund) the sUe-S-A hype.

I still feel like harmonic resonance might lead to some applicable tool, if only as a novelty. BRB, calling dibs on thoughtproperty. Er, "filing a patent".

lol, he thinks they actually do the running

The real scotsmen make credit cards and commercials aimed at said dreamers who didn't expect it'd be "tough" to compete with the industry giants, who allow you to exist as a mercy and could crush you with but a dozen lawyer hours.

GP is talking about the giants, not the wannabes. We proles sometimes show loyalty to you posers.

That's the lawyers. But the injured parties probably got some of their compensation. Maybe even all.

Maybe. It's the Definitelys who will cheer.

What's the word for 1000% markup?

Not saying either end of the stick is "right".

If (benefit of doubt) Dice is somehow bullshit, who do you think needs to know? A: Dice users.

> riders will be able to opt out I hate this phrase. I've never read Hitchhiker's Guide (yet) but yeah, let's stick that opt out in a basement. In Madagascar.

More autonomous nerves, sure. A deliberate reaction is typically at least 300-400ms for a conscious response, for a simple action from alert condition. Anything conditional/decision-making, (if red, elif green) and it goes up.

But the performance of stuff can be affected by less. You can notice irregularity in, say, tempo or timed actions at the 10ms level.

It may not necessarily affect surgical behaviors, but consider something like the all that calculus your brain does when it wants to catch a frisbee or swing a bat at a ball.
