  1. What are you taking about? This is like the exact opposite of reality these last several years This one ☝️
  2. 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
  3. 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

    The Concrobium stuff referenced above

    Any chance you can install storm windows? I recognize it may be cost prohibitive
  6. 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.
  7. Indeed, or lack of exposure to actual females. Your point of them often becoming caricatures in the minds of young "chaps" is spot on.
  8. You misspelled "realists"
  9. It really doesn't, but at least you're consistent in your wrongness
  10. 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/
  11. 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.
  12. No. Carbon taxes incentivize carbon use reductions, not food distribution methods (despite the obvious overlap).
  13. https://www.who.int/about/what-we-do He’s confused about much more than that. Read his posts if you have the patience for it.
  14. You could’ve just said, “No. I’m incapable of supporting that claim because it’s silly nonsense without any basis in reality.”
  15. If you haven’t done it already, you’re already behind the curve Sounds like you want a job in logistics. FedEx and UPS and Amazon pay good money to people who wish to solve these problems at scale and at a cost that reduces overhead / increases margins.
  16. No worries. I really don’t care. Hope you enjoy!
  17. Or you could start a garden and learn to hunt
  18. WHO is not intended for spying or holding governments accountable. If you measure a fish by its ability to climb a tree...
  19. Okay. Thanks for sharing
  20. See also: https://www.its.caltech.edu/~kip/index.html/lectures.html
  21. Okay. Thanks for confirming your intent so quickly. There are better sources available, but I’ll leave these here for the interested reader. Given your approach, that phrase no longer applies to me. Overview of race: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/race-is-a-social-construct-scientists-argue/ Overview of IQ: https://www.discovermagazine.com/mind/do-iq-tests-actually-measure-intelligence
  22. Humans are a race. White humans are not a separate one from black humans. IQ tests have known limitations. The fact that you ignore them suggests you’re not as well read on this topic as you pretend to be.
  23. You see, here's the thing. Race is a bullshit concept. It's a cultural term, not a biological one. The fact that some people have different melanin content in their skin doesn't mean much else other than they have different melanin content in their skin. Sure, they've been treated differently and had the system rigged against them so of course that affects outcomes, but when you control for things like health and access etc... skin color really isn't a determining factor. Likewise, IQ is also a bullshit concept. There are scores of different kinds of intelligence. Problem solving ability, memory, executive function, creativity, some people are brilliant musicians while others are great builders... these are all types of intelligence and none is better than another. IQ Is little more than a measure of peoples ability to take an IQ test, and the test itself is biased toward western culture and certain anglo-saxon upbringings. It's mostly garbage. As for brain size... that's also not as important as the density and diversity of connections, plus things like myelin sheathing and conductivity. It's not the size that matters, as it were. Anyway... I've seen posts like yours several times before. Usually the person has an agenda. We'll see if you're any different, but most of these things you seem to feel so strongly about are... not to get too technical on you here... horseshit and bollocks.

    As SJ hints at, to prevent it you need to keep the area dry. To kill it, I've had good luck with the stuff he references, too: Concrobium Mold Control. It's stinky, but works.
  25. Another insight I heard yesterday which makes sense to me... Mitch wanted to vote yes on the conviction, but he knew that not enough fellow republicans would've voted with him to convict. This would have shined a bright burning spotlight on his weakness as leader, so he voted to acquit so as not to be seen as weak and in a different position than most of his caucus. Basically, he did it to protect his leadership position because his leadership position is weakening... Not enough of the other GOP Senators would've supported his vote... so he changed it.
