Comment Stop Ejaculating (I'm serious) (Score 0) 384

Contrary to popular belief, sex, or more correctly, ejaculation isn't good for you. Sure it might feel like the best thing in the world for all of 10 seconds, but afterwards you will feel far more tired and emotionally distant and negative. For each subsequent ejaculation you will feel even more tired and even more emotionally negative. Depending on how old and healthy you are, excessive ejaculation can lead to excessive tiredness and emotional depression (although the effect is usually temporary).

How does this relate to your concern? Ejaculation has a direct effect on your energy levels and thus has the same effect as sleep deprevation, again depending on frequency of ejaculation and your age/health.

If you don't believe me try ejaculating 3 times what you normally do in 1 day, then tell me I'm wrong. For further proof, try the exact opposite. Stop ejaculating for at least 2-4 weeks, then tell me your energy, sleep and memory haven't improved significantly.

*Some* of this vaccination stuff is overrated. Seriously, I've had like 5 diseases (measles, mumps, varicella, rubella and influenzaa) as a child that people get vaccinated for here in North America. I remember having a wonderful childhood, and I'm still alive and quite healthy with ZERO side effects of having had those diseases.

I find it even more ridiculous people get vaccinated for the flu these days. Pretty soon they'll come out with a vaccine against carbon dioxide.... LOL.

Big pharma marketing has apparently been successful in creating a nation of hypocondiracs.

Yes, get your children vaccinated, but for serious stuff only, and only with vaccines that have proven themselves after at least a decade.

Comment Re:Homeopathy (Score -1) 291

Ah yes, let's try to understand and judge metaphysics with the tools of science. It's like a scientist trying to identify the soul or heck, even the source of thoughts by analyzing the brain, and then denying they exist because he can't find them, yet his entire conclusion(s) or even existence and consciousness are an outright impossibility without either.

Lack of ability, right knowledge and advanced tools should not be used as justification to deny something that clearly exists. To do so, is extremely illogical and unscientific. It would be more humble and factual to simply state: We are currently unable to understand or are able to explain XYZ - we lack either the right-knowledge (scientific principles through which they work) and/or the necessary tools.

The fact that homeopathy (cure through astral influence), acupuncture (cure via the body's etheric energetic chakra points), or reiki (cure through mental, astral and etheric energetic transmissions), work at least *some* of the time, and for expert practitioners - most of the time, outright implies that Science simply hasn't bothered to do proper due diligence on these alternative methods. It is in fact Science that needs to prove it to themselves, everybody else already goes to the "witch doctor" when science fails them - including scientists themselves ;-)

I have faith eventually Science will be able to explain all these methodologies.... but to deny thousands of years of their use and survival throughout time (by a factor many times greater than how long "modern" medicine has been around), is outright laughable and a portrayal of the hubris of the current scientific community.

Comment NASA is not psychic... like this guy... (Score 1) 286

Have y'all seen the French Psychic from 1980 with 85% prediction accuracy confirmed for us we'd have an Alien Invasion before 2013!? He predicted 9/11, war on terror, chernobyl, Obama, and end of the Soviet Union. With over 1 million views (when you add up all the copy cat videos), it must be true! Nobody has been able to credibly debunk this guy... yet, although there's been several debunking theories, all of which have thus far been debunked.

It's just that the link is right above the "Reply to This [comment]" link. Easy to click by accident. Somebody slashdoting from work may get in trouble or worse. And as for some other comment in this thread, no obviously I haven't clicked on it... I'm at work. Wait let me fix that... I'm at "work". Ok.

Clearly this should be on the agenda for the new "Cyber Reserves" of the department of Homeland Security. If Google can be taken down by accident in parts of the world, then it certainly can be taken down on purpose. Route filters are your friends!

Come on, the ECH shot a photon torpedo between two ships, then blew it up with a phaser shot and saved Voyager from destruction. He had the knowledge of some 5,000 captain's life-time experiences. Clearly he wins! Oh and he can also take a phaser gun shot without dying. He is INVINCIBLE!!!

That can only be achieved if there's ZERO electronic components made in China in the aircraft....Good luck with that.
