On incentives to cure or not to cure diseases or disabilities
The metric of success depends on the nature of the study being done. They don’t look at the reflectivity of light when measuring the fuel economy of automobiles, or internet bandwidth when studying the effectiveness of insulin in diabetes treatment, for example. The metric of success depends on the nature of the study being done.

2nd Impeachment of a US President
He paved the road that Trump drove to the presidency. He died happy knowing what he’d done.

2nd Impeachment of a US President
Thank you for clarifying. I misapplied the thread context (2nd impeachment) to your comments regarding the first. Cheers

Ivanka for president
She also refused to let the secret service agents who protected her life with their own even use the restroom in her home Which had like 12 of them

BLM, Capitol Riot, Hypocrisy and False equivalency -Split from: Blow to US Democracy
Just to be clear, most of my examples were of the right cancelling themselves. Indeed, she’s continuing to speak with the honorable voice of her late husband... whom Trump also cancelled in a manner of speaking

He’s not making that as a personal choice, though. He’s asserting that science and biology have chosen this, that it’s valid as a genetic description, and that anyone who points out the obvious error of this claim is ignoring reality (I believe “idiot” was the word... his word, not mine).

I agree. It’s been amazing watching all those republicans who voted to impeach Trump get censured by their local state governments, and Trump attack McConnell saying it was critical to end his political career because he made a speech which failed to show sufficient submission and fealty, or who have abandoned Fox News for having the audacity to call the state of Arizona for Biden during the election, or fleeing Facebook for Parlor for having the audacity to fact check posts claiming to be news, or boycotting Nike for presenting an advertisement featuring Colin Kapernick, or any of the countless other times the right has pushed to cancel people for not agreeing with them 100%. It’s getting out of hand.

I agree it was little more than scapegoating and spreading of xenophobia and jingoism to distract attention from incompetent responses.

Fair I’m unsure the numbers work out the way you think, though... especially given the strong points above about how far it had already spread before we were even able to detect it

Shutting down travel after the virus has entered the country is like putting on a condom after you've already ejaculated Why you think this would be effective is strange to me

I find other things in the race / IQ discussion far more disgusting than that, but appreciate you providing this clear window into your personal/mental spectrum of atrocity and abhorrence.

Indeed, or lack of exposure to actual females. Your point of them often becoming caricatures in the minds of young "chaps" is spot on.

It really doesn't, but at least you're consistent in your wrongness

But you were talking about race, not ethnicity. I might be inclined to accuse you of moving the goal posts, conflation of terms, and sloppy argumentation... but I'll give you a pass and chalk it up to language differences and translation issues... this time. These social constructs of race and ethnicity cannot be detected in the genes... and the amount of melanin in someone's skin doesn't affect their intelligence. The social structures which differentially restrict access to food, housing, health, education, and opportunities do. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/topics/reference/race-ethnicity/

Increase tall
You're never going to change your height. It's not gonna happen. Stop trying. Stop thinking about it. Stop ruminating. It's not healthy. You are how tall you are ever going to be unless you put on shoes with heels. End program. You can, however, change your fitness level, and you can change your mindset and you can engage in activities that make you a better human. Focus on the things you can change, not pie in the sky dreams like growing a 3rd arm or having lasers that shoot out of your eyes (the equivalent of trying to force your body to be taller). Right now, it's almost certainly your lack of self-confidence and lack of realistic understanding of the world you live in that's likely most unappealing to the girls you wish to include in your life. If you don't like yourself, then why would they ever like you? Start there... accept who you are and improve yourself in ways that can be improved. Girls aren't aliens. They are really not different than you are and they feel the same feelings you do. Often they tend to appreciate others who are self-aware, kind, and focused on making themselves better. That could be you, even if the only way you can get there is with some help and/or therapy. No shame needed.

No. Carbon taxes incentivize carbon use reductions, not food distribution methods (despite the obvious overlap).

How do promiscuous species keep STDs at bay?
You could’ve just said, “No. I’m incapable of supporting that claim because it’s silly nonsense without any basis in reality.”
