Emperor Norton of San Francisco minted his own money and it was accepted even when the US Dollar wasn't.

I think its the other way around, VR headsets lag compared to your head moving just enough to fuck with you.

Do you know how I know you didn't actually READ any of the discussion here before jumping on my post? Go and read the parent post I was replying to again.

And don't forget they almost always use operational definitions which tailor the statistics to suit their needs, like the NISVS refusing to count female-on-male rape as "Rape" and recording it instead as "Other".

Sounds carry very well over solid surfaces when traffic isn't drowning them out at night.

This should never have made it through the ethics board.

they're loud enough here in the states that I could hear one from a quarter mile away.

Women control an overwhelming majority of all spending, income, and household wealth. The product wouldn't exist without being attractive to women in the first place.

Here in america my power bill consists of only one part, and I have the choice of whether to go fuck myself or allow the regional monopoly to price gouge me for electricity.

Google is LESS white than everybody else, it's only because SJW's suddenly decided that asians were white that the figures don't show that.

It's not that men are pigs, it's that women aren't pigs. The double standard is strong enough that even some feminist websites like Good Men Project openly refer to it as problematic.

It's also an out of date figure that mischaracterizes how bad the gender gap is by using the lag of higher level post-graduate degrees among wealthy white students to cover up everything else.

1/3rd is 33.33333%, 42.6% is less than 10% higher than that, and that was five school years ago with the trend continuing (if not accelerating) since then.

We throw tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars at girls and women to get them to choose technology or engineering as a major, but completely ignore that they're already a majority to an overwhelming majority of graduates in literally every other major and dominate every level of education. Evidently it's more important that women not be a mere ~5% less of a program that's already only 10% of the degrees conferred in the US than it is to do something about the fact men are barely 1/3rd of college graduates in the first place.

Because, yknow, that's not going to be unhealthy for society at all.

I'd say the baseline isn't just intelligence but specifically writing, abstract/imaginative thought, and the formation of communities along with a body plan that allows easy manipulation of the environment. Technologically advanced life requires an ability to record and transmit knowledge through generations, the ability to come up with new ideas, and the ability to work with enough others to accomplish various goals.
