I've recently acquired at liking for pretty full on Nightcore Dubstep (also called NightStep)
I'm worried about the future of Hubski if it continues to gain new users. I don't think the site is set up well to stop the lowest common denominator from dominating and crowding everything else out. Not that long ago I avoid participating as much as I could have because I was worried about reducing the quality of the discussion that goes on here. Not any more though. Posts like the following ones which are dismissive of minority group opinions getting shared so much could discourage these groups from using the site. If it wasn't for user-inactivated providing some much needed discourse then the comments would fit in 100% on Reddit or Youtube or 4chan. I'm not sure whether I should add a supportive comment there and add yet another white person's thoughts on the matter, or let members of minority groups speak for themselves.
That's great to hear. What pronouns do you use?
Reddit's /r/SandersForPresident is likely responsible for those results. I wouldn't trust those results to represent the average voter's opinion.
Everything from science points either to determinism or randomness being in charge. Neither of those are compatible free will.
Yes because that's the message of the video /S
Bunch of salty white people in here lol
There's a difference between censorship and choosing not to do something because it's a stupid idea.
I don't know I wasn't paying too much attention to it, but a lot of younger Kiwis don't seem to like the union jack because they see New Zealand as it's own thing. I'm not too sure about what older peeps thing though.
I think Australia should be the ones dropping the Union Jack rather than us to be honest. Or maybe we could leave the commonwealth first.
I'm sharing this so that other people can laugh at you as well.
Actually that's not the case, women are often less trusted then men when they say they are feeling pain. Source
Could make a competition out of that. The most ridiculous shoehorn for the Cecil lion event.
No I do not think that sexism doesn't affect men. Pretty much not a single person in the entire world thinks this. Longer jail sentences for the same crime is a classic example of this in action. How men who are victims of domestic abuse are treated by people is another one. You and any of the people that talked to you about that stuff are doing it wrong if they are applying anything at an individual level. What is actually happening is on the population level. On average men are trusted / respected more than women are. This doesn't invalidate your experiences. Anyone trying to do that is flat out wrong.
Maybe. You are good at voicing opinions, but in this case I think you should be listening instead. Men aren't questioned or doubted as much as Women, and this is yet another example of this in action, so there isn't really any discussion to be had. It's well documented and backed up by research that this happens.
No I just dropped by to be condescending. Some discussions just aren't worth wasting any time on. :-)
How do you still breath with your head buried so deeply in sand?
Uggghhh. Why do people do this?Men
Females
That's because white / Christian cultures have made a deliberate effort to try and erase the existence of trans people. For example how being Hijra was declared as being illegal during the British Raj in India.
That article is pretty terrible to be honest. It mixes up being born gay with being gay being determined by genetics. The actual hypothesis is to do with hormone levels in the womb while developing. So the article doesn't have even a basic understand about the opinion it is disagreeing with.
To me it sounds like the issue is with capitalism, not GMOs :-P From a scientific perspective though, you don't want to save the seeds anyway. They are created from two plant strains and as such benefit from hybrid vigor, which means they'll produce more seeds than later generations will. This isn't GMO specific, non-engineered crops also use this same technique.
Main reason is because of how much Reddit hated her. The amount of sexist and racist comments made about her were disgusting. Her husband was involved in some shady stuff that maybe she had ties to though. Also because supporting her made pRedditors mad.
Everyone left of Hitler is a spoopy skeleton warrior to some people.
There are 3 different regulator bodies in the US which regulate GMOs In Europe every single GMO product must be approved before it can be used The article that you're commenting on has the following sources which say that GMOs are safe. World Health Organisation
Did you even read about that case? That person deliberately collected the seeds which had the round-up ready gene in them. The courts at all three levels noted that the case of accidental contamination beyond the farmer's control was not under consideration but rather that Mr. Schmeiser's action of having identified, isolated and saved the Roundup-resistant seed placed the case in a different category.
The evidence showed that the level of Roundup Ready canola in Mr. Schmeiser's 1998 fields was 95-98%
Do you have citations about any of that? There is a lot of misinformation spread about Monsanto, plenty of claims not even close to what actually happened in the real law suits, and made up law suits that never happened.
GMOs undergo significantly more testing than any other food product. Other food products through genetic changes can be constantly changing (although this doesn't apply to many non-GMO plants which aren't changing genetically), and these changes aren't being tested at all.
I need to change it now that Steve's in charge, but am using this one as a show of support for Pao / ironically because it's supposed to be an anti-Pao message.
