[DinoTriz2]

a fact or piece of data from a study of a large quantity of numerical data.

:o

And yet you were happy with sharing statistics.

Then I posted multiple studies which debunked your old data from 2010.

[DinoTriz2]

statistically, we won the vietnam war. statistically.

No we didn't.

Statistically we had a better K/D ratio but the NVA took more cities.

[Wonkie]

And yet you were happy with sharing statistics.

was the number retroactively not the number? :eek:

[America]

No. Fuck that.

Is it racist to criticize black people?

It had nothing to do with his race and everything to do with his family and their nationality. And the fact that no one could prove where he was born.

Sorry, not buying the 'racist' angle. It's for the idiots to believe.

There is a cohort of racist people who never read anything about the evidence and continued upboating and clicking because they saw meme photos on Facebook about how the black president was not born here. I know that I myself spread this meme because I find racism funny. I am merely stating the existence of this force; other forces exist too. Culture does not exist in a vacuum. Stories do not spread for one reason only.

I am sorry that your brain is too scrambled with anger to even acknowledge this very basic factual observation before returning to your talking points, which I have yet to challenge whatsoever.

[DinoTriz2]

was the number retroactively not the number? :eek:

All you proved is that the number was increasing from 1990 to 2010.

I proved it is decreasing since 2010.

So I win.

Better luck next time, bud.

You'll need it.

statistically, we won the vietnam war. statistically.

But war efficacy is based on completing objectives, not simply on casualties inflicted or number of bombs dropped on infatructure

People don't look at black people and think "Wow, he must've not been born here."

Africans are probably one of the smallest immigrant populations.

Black people are as American as apple pie.

So no, miss me with that bullshit.

People believed he was born overseas because of circumstantial evidence, not solely because they believe all black people come from somewhere else.

[Wonkie]

No we didn't.

Statistically we had a better K/D ratio but the NVA took more cities.

so you agree statistics are not facts?

consider yourself debunked

[maskedmelon]

Modern science is based entirely on empiricism derived from statistical proofs. That means science is just a bunch of lies.

no, no, no, no that conclusion would suggest that only liars figure, which in the strictest sense is probably true since everyone is very likely to have lied at least once in their lives, but it is otherwise ridiculous to assert (that only those aspiring to deception figure). Statistics are easily manipulated. That doesn't mean they aren't useful though.

I presume the clarity I added in my edit will not help either. I'm very sorry. I accept you anyway. I will continue to love you.

What?

That stats would show that NVA captured more cities, making it the victor.

So statistics show NVA won.

lying is useful too

[DMN]

i haven't read into the evidence at all. maybe he was born in Kenya. the storyline still memes because of the race angle. that is my only assertion here and it is accurate.

you are reactionarily talking past me and not comprehending what I am saying. it's another pavlovian response from you. i won't entertain any further examples of that, but if you wanna talk to me i'll be here.

You don't examine evidence, yet you come to conclusions? You can't read minds, yet somehow profess to know motives? Dress it up however you want, it looks like a bunch of bullshit.

[DinoTriz2]

I presume the clarity I added in my edit will not help either. I'm very sorry. I accept you anyway. I will continue to love you.

The racism trope is just a tool to shut others down when there is no other defense.

Any race can legitimately criticize another person of another race.

Just because they're critical of them doesn't mean they're racist.

People hated Obama because he was a Democrat. Not because he was black. (half black)

[America]

You don't examine evidence, yet you come to conclusions? You can't read minds, yet somehow profess to know motives? Dress it up however you want, but it's just a bunch of bullshit.

Again -- I have yet to challenge the factuality of Birtherism whatsoever. The only conclusion I have drawn does not require the examination of the Birther body of evidence. My only assertions are two:

An ephemeral force known as "racism" exists in the minds of people.
Eyes were drawn to the story, adding clicks, because discussing the heritage of a black man touches on this psychological element "racism".

I know for a fact that I furthered the Birtherism meme, without ever reading up on the facts, because I am a racist. Therefore it is absolutely, 100% indisputable that everything I have said here is factually correct at some level of scale. It is not a challenge to your narrative. It is an acknowledgment of some existence of nuance. You should be tremendously frightened that this acknowledgment affects your psyche so.

[Wonkie]

All you proved is that the number was increasing from 1990 to 2010.

The argument is based on the assumption that racists would be more interested about and more inclined to discuss such claims than non-racists. i think that is an accurate assumption, but I'd be wary of asserting it as the driving force behind the meme because I don't really know shit about memes or social media ^^;

Although we could debate about it, I've so far stopped short of describing it as "the" driving force. The interesting thing about this "debate" is the complete rigidity with respect to acknowledging that racism exists and affects appetites which influence news cycles whatsoever.

I am actually going down a line that could strengthen a clever Birther's argument: that the racists/racism involved in furthering Birtherism are rare/small, and merely used as scapegoats to distract from facts that demonstrate Obama's foreign birth. However, these two are abjectly unable to acknowledge any level of nuance beyond the ordained narrative. They've abstracted Tucker Carlson's refusal to discuss nuance (doesn't work on TV) into a worldview without grayscale. It's interesting.

This observation ties in to my old disingenuous debate tactics on this board.

By "magnanimously" acknowledging nuance that supports my opponent's argument and countering with nuance of my own (of lesser scale or what have you) I was able to defeat all comers on this forum. My opponents were all affected by a brain-scramble that prevented them from acknowledging the cession of ground they did not hold. This evaporated their credibility, and they would thus lose the debate even with a winning position. Whereas I would survive the same maneuvers by ceding.

Example: I would equate trans stuff with child abuse and perversion by acknowledging the existence of pathological outsider cases. No opponents were willing to state "yes, but...". They would get sucked into binary yes/no on the particular claim and attempt to deny the truth in a misguided attempt to save face. "Nuh uh!!!" This prevented them from following me into the rabbit hole and defeating me in depth even when they held superior forces. They would commit all to an unwinnable point of contact.

A winning strategy involves "retreat". To cede what you ought not hold is not dishonor, butt maneuvering.

Most people are not suited to command.

The interesting thing is that this was probably the logic of Obama's people and why they intentionally fanned the flames of his presidential illegitimacy. "I don't want to be a racist, so I better not vote against Obama. " the politics of white guilt.

I badly hoped someone would make an effort to drive us to the truth back then. An honest debate with me might have yielded such. None of the paladins of light were particularly interested in that.

well, it was likely a piece of their reasoning, but arriving at that conclusion necesssitates it be amended with a piece of flawed logic: "racists are likely more interested in discussing this topic," implies "if I discuss this topic, then I am racist." That is not sound reasoning.

why adopt disingenuous tactics then, you doof! /bonk i always thought you were just trolling, it never really understood why. Then for a while I thought you were posing arguments to yourself and it made me wary to engage some of them because i figured you were doing it for a reason. and of course I lack the wit to divine that reason. also made me question whether i was right for engaging where I did, but ultimately you had too beautiful a brain for me to keep away, regardless of some of the outlandish things that leaped out of it.

im sorry for not engaging those things directly. that's something I am making sincere effort to work on in my life. someone says something and my reaction tends to be, "well that's how this person is." if the unpleasantries outweighs the pleasantries, I just don't associate with them, unless I care about them, which happens too. Otherwise, I just accept the other stuff. That isn't being a good friend or companion though.

[maskedmelon]

"...or will appear to be" which, socially, is just as bad as being.

yeah, I thought of phrasing it that way too, but it was too depressing to acknowledge that people are more likely to reason erroneously than not. You either have to believe the faulty logic that I laid out, or believe that more people believe it than do not, regardless of its actual veracity.

If your goal is simple deceptions (or even extravagant ones) or manipulation I suppose that would be true. If your goal however is something objectively nobler liek truth or understanding, then the ability to lie is not wonderful at all. The problem with lying is that it is a pathological behavior. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. At some point you begin lying to yourself (because, why no t? you're lying to everyone else!) and then you reach a point at which your worldview becomes so thoroughly distorted that you are unable to distinguish truth from delusion. You of course know all this though and we're just trying to get me type a paragraph you won't read ^^

You need to raise your standards my friend. There is so much shit out there competing for your attention. Your attention and time is valuable (hence, we monetize it). You should spend less of it watching some guy with lower IQ than you spitballing about whatever the fuck in his head.

"Opium-Addicted" Parrots Affecting Poppy Cultivation In Madhya Pradesh (https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/madhya-pradesh-opium-addicted-parrots-flying-away-with-poppy-pods-in-neemuch-1999471)

Now that's a fucking article. I didn't know parrots could get addicted to opium (unless your talking about Rush Limbah fans). Now I do. They get so strung out on that shit that they attack things x20 bigger and stronger than them in a dope fiend rage.

I agree with you that most of our entertainment/news is nonsense for the masses, but the majority of that is on television.

If you're going to use an example of better information, don't use a story about drug addicted birds. You probably found that from a clickbait article title, which you mindlessly clicked on.

I'm pretty much done being serious with you dino, because you're not a serious person.

Which is fine. Just don't expect people to take you seriously. I mean that's a generalization. Now and again something serious might take place. There just hasn't been a lot of it.

The basic fact that you're misrepresenting your opponents arguments seems to roll off you like water off a duck. How long have you been talking about this shit and all you still have is "look at the soviet union"? Don't look at what people saying and doing and how trends are going. Look at the soviet union.

IDK maybe it's not dishonesty. Maybe it's just indoctrination. Maybe its just trying to bring order to a disordered world.

Need some money? Run for president. (https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2019/03/carly-fiorina-pac-is-still-spending-money/)

It’s been nearly three years since she was the shortest-lived vice presidential candidate in history, but a hybrid PAC made in support of Carly Fiorina is alive and well.

Carly for America, formed in March 2016, has outlasted the candidate it supported and continued to spend through the end of 2018. The committee dropped $784,782 in the 2018 cycle — and more than $100,000 over the last calendar year — none of which was spent on independent expenditures supporting or opposing any federal candidates.

Instead, the PAC has spent thousands on extraneous activities, including an estimated $5,488 on Uber rides, $2,994 worth of trips to Fox News alumni-founded Style Me Bar for “hair and makeup consulting” and “styling services” and a combined $5,880 to Trump Tower in December 2016 when Fiorina met with President-elect Donald Trump to discuss the job of director of national intelligence.

The PAC paid Ikea $6,261 for furniture in January 2018 and paid Pottery Barn more than $2,000 for furniture in May 2018. In September 2017, the PAC paid $700 for food at Charlie Palmer Steak House and more than $900 at Benjamin Steak House in May 2017.

But this is strictly welfare for the well born. You need to look presidential and be a complete sell out to pull it off. But for any rising professional women out there -- it's worth considering.

Trumpists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as Trump and a martial government composed of the members of the governing Trumpist party—to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. Trump rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views political violence, war and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation. Trumpists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.

What was tribal or demonizing about what I posted?

Literally everything you wrote was tribal.

"Trumpist" for example is a derogatory way to describe Trump supporters.

Then you go on to say they're not above using violence and they're unreasonable when it comes to supporting a liberal democracy.

Every sentence read like a grand conspiracy that is far from the truth.

You say Trump uses war and martial law to unite the country when he hasn't started ONE war or even declared martial law.

Lol

You describe all "Trumpists" with positions and motives which do not apply to me. It is therefore not factual if I am a "Trumpist". If I am not a "Trumpist", well, I wasn't reasonably able to determine that by your choice of word.

How about we try those identity politics?

It's just word replacement from a dictionary definition, baby girl.

You use the word liberal and leftist derogatorily anytime you want to talk about the opposition. Don't worry little snowflake, it'll be okay. I didn't write any of that myself, just changed one word to show you how sensitive you are to being called out for your support of a demagogue.

Maybe you don't support Trump's ideologies and you're just drawn to his cult of personality? Or you don't realize that by supporting Trump you support those things which you view negatively? Either way, seek Bernie.

That is a false dichotomy. I am aware of compromises and made them. Rather than filling my head up with a tribal fervor that appears to disregard the corresponding concessions involved in supporting "the other side".

I might vote Bernie. The gears are turning on that. 2016 has passed. So you know: it is a cost-benefit analysis for me -- not a matter of outrage. Although there are outrageous compromises required on both ends.

The second impediment was more substantial, and had stalled Bolton’s ascent in previous administrations as well. “He is incredibly smart and capable,” a Bolton acquaintance told me. “He could have risen faster if he had just been less of a dick.”

my understanding is that this is induced pluripotency, not "generation of stem cells". They are very expensive and super touchy to generate and are not truly pluripotent. It's kind of a goofy generation process that reads more like alchemy than science and has a hiiiigh failure rate, which outputs "stemmy" cells not stemcells.

So the paradigm as I understand it has it factually inaccurate to call them "stem cells". Fyi. ^^ I used to work in a lab on limb regeneration and we didn't use IPSCs because of their limitations.

Altho they may be useful in this application. I don't know.

Yes do tell more. My knahledge is old. If we can generate true stem cells it is a huge breakthrough I'm not up on.

"Liberal" and "Leftist" are not inherently derogatory.

The rest of my comment makes it tribal.

"Liberal" is actually the wrong name for modern Leftists, as the majority of you are Authoritarian now.

"Trumpist" is an insult in and of itself.

The rest of your comment was also tribal because it's so asinine that left-leaning media outlets wouldn't even repeat what you said because it defies reality.

This derives from this source (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17554338). Ergo I am right. That they are germline-compatible is a huge breakthrough from what I thought was the situation, tho.

still's a big stretch of the term "stem cell" in a press release. Stemmy cells which are tampered with in a fashion that causes cancers. ;)

What do you guys think of Andrew Yang?

I've never voted Democrat, and I doubt he'll win the nomination...but I'd definitely consider swinging left in 2020 if he somehow manages to get relevant.

The guy is very interesting and will probably get some attention. What I like most about him is his ideas are new and not based on the old "more unions and government jobs" routine. He also is young enough to run in 4 or 8 or even 12 years.

He might be a little ahead of the times for now. People would have to get hungry for new solutions instead of old timey FDR socialism.

Even if Dems completely screw everything up with this Green New Deal and being unable to respond if the market crashes (the market crash may very well be triggered by a socialist being elected president), that doesn't mean they are going to want some more "market-based"/Trumpism in response.

Thats when Yang could surge in popularity as a real possibility.

You might think men who can grow a beard have a higher testosterone level, but in reality, most men have about the same level of testosterone. And that's where genetics come in: How one's body responds to testosterone results in how one's facial hair grows. Being highly sensitive to testosterone means more facial hair. On the down side, it attributes to baldness.

Sorry about your premature baldness.

[DinoTriz2]

Sorry about your premature baldness.

Lol you haven't seen what I look like, huh?

[maskedmelon]

Sorry about your premature baldness.

T doesn't cause baldness and is not a very potent actor in hirustism. The culprit there is DHT, which is easily thwarted with inexpensive pharmaceuticals as well as OTC herbals such as saw palmetto. T levels can actually be elevated by suppressing DHT as the endocrine system tries to rebalance hormone levels. This can lead to improved athleticism without increased masculinization or perhaps more interestingly can be leveraged with high levels of aromatase to induce robust breast development.

brings a hole new meaning to the phrase "grow a pair," don't it?
