Do you honestly think that describes all conservatives?

No, it's just logic. How many things are children either not allowed to do or not allowed to decide for themselves? They're permanent, life altering decisions that a child really doesnt grasp the gravity of. We don't normally let rando adults talk to children about sex because they have motivations the child does not understand. No 5 year old thinks they are the opposite gender without someone older suggesting it to them.

Great, can we have a new word for genocide? It used to mean the systematic eradication of a people. Now it just means one side is disproportionately bigger than the other.

Its the same person. It's an old tactic. Make it seem like your opposition is some crazy unhinged loony too make your own claim better.

That's just gaslighting right there. Just Google "quantum tunneling brain" and start reading and reading. All quantum effects happen on probability scales. You would have to emulate those probabilities into your ever growing model.

Because its not a real brain? Can you make a machine that can perform like a bird? You can make it fly, make it make chirping noises, etc. But all of it is just a rough replica of the real thing. The human brain in incredibly complex in comparison, trillions if connections.

If we are replaced by robots then what drives the economy? No one is gonna hire your robot. They'll just get another of their own.

That reminds me of my first semester of C++. Get an assignment that is clearly designed to get us comfortable with CASE statements. It was maybe a page and a half long (cause the prof wanted a paper copy too). Buddy down the hall has been struggling for a while. I look at his code and he has 21 pages and counting of IF-THEN-ELSE, IF-THEN-ELSE,... I taught him the right way, but I learned some people just don't have the brain for it

The problem is like that guy who threw away his hard drive with his Bitcoins. Sure there's something valuable there, but wading through a sea of garbage to maybe get what you're looking for isn't worth it at some point

They won't cause it would probably validate everything you said.

Did you really get to the end of a reply and think "man, that was so good I gotta copy and paste that whenever I get a chance!" No one reads all that shit.

> Disney's gotta nail the sweet, sweet merchandising.

Problem is that kids aren't generally buying Star Wars toys anymore, adults are, and they are increasingly detached from the new parts of the franchise.

"Abortion was a states' rights issue until RvW was overturned, and suddenly they wanted a national ban." Wow! That's is some rarified Grade A gaslighting. It wasnt a state issue until it was overturned. Until then the Supreme Court was saying it abortion was a right that states couldn't take away.

No, you're overselling the danger of ivermectin. The LD50 is 250x the therapeutic dose. That's actually really good compared to most drugs. Still wild that anyone would use it as anything but an antiparasitic, but it probably won't hurt them.

Wood isn't toxic. Like the article says, it's way below the threshold. The world isn't running on clean energy. I'd wager there's less lead in wood than coal or oil from deep underground.
