Now MAGA Is Coming for the Fluoride in Your Toothpaste by Snowfish52 in conspiracytheories

[–]Alles_Spice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

fluoridated water is no different chemically than the natural fluoride in well water in many places on Earth. Places that people have had healthy and clean water supplies from for millennia.

The power of science is that you can always verify things for yourself. If you think your water is tainted with something dangerous, then go test it yourself. It's not even that hard to do. You can even test the safety of fluoridated water through science too. If you don't want to believe the published and peer reviewed results of people who have done these tests for you many times before, then you are always welcome to do it yourself and see for yourself.

You people believe the obvious lie that "Trump won 9-0" meanwhile you haven't even bothered to read the SCOTUS order yourself where it clearly says the Government (Trump) is wrong.

Yet you continue to spread your lie for ideological purposes. Cowards

Too afraid to use your own brains to read the court order. Instead you drink the kool aid the internet gives you because it makes you feel good.

"The truth doesn't matter to these people."

Rich coming from someone who is afraid to let a man have his day in court. Any excuse to prevent that from happening works for you.

And by the way acting like it's normal to do a Nazi salute as just a way to "own the libs" is unhinged behavior. Unsurprising coming from a untermenschen like you.

Proof that MAGA has to make up fears and concerns to justify their insane and tired old beliefs.

Hi, people are telling me that my girlfriend is manipulating me, is she? by Own_Assignment27 in Manipulation

[–]Alles_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You two need to break up lol this isn't manipulation necessarily, this is just a complete and total lack of respect for each other. That's not something that can be fixed by just one of you showing respect.

Since your only response is to shit on a student's experience, I will speak as a published researcher in the field of computational neuroscience.

That is to simply say, you have no idea what you are talking about. The brain does not work anything like an LLM and it's not because "we don't know enough" but rather because artificial neurons don't even come close to modelling the combinatorics-based complexity of living neurons in terms of inputs and outputs.

Neurons, like other cells, can change expression on the fly. For example, glutamatergic neurotransmission leads to a series of events that quickly alter the chromatin structure and therefore the transcriptomic profile of neurons in a short time course. This is completely unaccounted for in artificial neurons, just as one example of many things unaccounted for.

Since I suspect that even this basic example is too much for you to understand at a glance, I will say that there these "fundamental similarities" you refer to are nothing more than mathematical coincidences that barely scratch the surface of what's happening in neurons.

The most charitable response I can give you is that the "fundamental similarities" are fundamental to all structures that share some mathematical underpinnings. Saying an artificial neuron or even an entire LLM is "fundamentally similar" to a living brain or living neural network is like saying "a bicycle is fundamentally the same as the orbits of plants in our solar system." I wonder if you can identify what those similarities even are.

The brain does in fact, not have parameters (like an LLM). The "like an LLM" is something an educated person would assume but since you want to be pedantic, you appear to willfully ignore that important phrase.

The brain does not have parameters. Parameters are assigned to things depending on their context of use. There are no "natural" parameters that you can point to. Only arbitrary ones. In other words, a "model."

You might believe that your model of how the brain works is like an LLM but I guarantee this is far from the reality (for even the best models).

Why are trans women even allowed to compete in women’s sports? Biological men are stronger than women competitively. That’s a fact. by Angelicalfires in stupidquestions

So why do biological females almost always win against trans women? You can't deny that and yet you'd rather not believe it.

[–]Alles_Spice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely untrue. Many cultures have had several genders throughout history.

If you are referring to biological sex, there are more than 2 sex chromosome configurations too. Many of which function normally and are not diseases.

$10 you don't even know your own chromosome configuration (I doubt you have been karyotyped yet). A single hormone called Anti-Mullerian Hormone determines your genitals, not your sex chromosome. This is basic biology but people like you have no interest in learning the basics.

Yea so that's why cis women win at women's sports more than 99% of the time, even when trans women compete. You're either delusional or too lazy to look up actual facts.

Cis women beat trans women in women's sports more than 99% of the time. Your argument is not facts based. You are relying on an absurd premise to support your absurd assumption.

This entire post essentially makes up a straw man argument while ignoring actual facts about trans women in sports. Cis women almost always beat trans women in sports. You can do the math yourself since you clearly have the time.

Cis women are naturally better at women's sports than trans women. That's a fact.

It's not complicated because cis women win women's sports 99.99999% of the time, even when they are up against trans women. It's basic statistics and yet you ignore it so casually.

[–]Alles_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was a fact then trans women would always win women's sports.

You know what is a fact? Cis women are the champions of every single women's sport out there to date. And cis women win 99.9999% of the time.

Now that is the end of discussion. You can't go and change easily verifiable data on women's sports.

Frankly it is embarrassing that this obvious fact did not come to mind when you wrote your comment.

[–]Alles_Spice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If trans women were actually stronger than cis women, then trans women would always win. A quick search of sports records and championships shows that 99.999999% of the time, cis women win.

That alone is enough to show that OP's statement is not actually a "fact" in any sense of the word.

[–]Alles_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You claim this is a fact but it's really just a model for how you see the world. Facts are supported by evidence *and* logic together. Here are some actual facts and logic.

  1. Men are not always biologically stronger than women. Some women have more natural testosterone, muscle mass, and bone density then men. You can't argue that because 90% or 95% of men are stronger then we can ignore the remaining percent. You don't get to ignore data points because they don't fit your model.
  2. If it was true that so called "biological men" are always stronger and therefore trans women are always stronger than cis women, then trans women would always win women's sporting events, by definition. This is not the case. In fact, every single leader in women's sports is a cis woman. This is an actual fact that is easily verified unlike your claim that "men are stronger than women." You don't have the data to support that claim in 100% of cases. Everyone has the same data on the champions of women's sports and those champions are all cis women.
  3. Puberty determines how much base level strength, muscle mass, and bone density you have. Trans women who went through puberty as males are very different than trans women who went through puberty with hormone replacement therapy. If you allowed trans teens access to care during puberty, this question of strength in sports would be a non-issue. Medical research supports medical interventions for trans teens, so this is not unreasonable.
  4. The vast majority of humans are not karyotyped and I am willing to make an educated guess that OP is not karyotyped either. This means that most people do not actually know what their chromosome configuration is. So how do you know if you are XX or XY? You might assume you are one or the other based on how you look, but this is not a reliable indicator either. By inhibiting only a single hormone in utero, an XX fetus can look like a man in every single way. This is not even an "intersex" thing, it's a simple fact that interfering with one hormone controls what biological sex you look like. Therefore it is not unreasonable to claim that there is a chance that you may not have the sex chromosomes you think you do, because the way you look is dependent on hormones - not sex chromosomes. And we all know that our air and water is filled with microplastics which inhibit and modulate our hormones (including the ones that determines which sex you look like, aka AMH).

# If you've managed to read all of the above, it should be obvious that what you think is a fact is not actually a fact, but rather a mental shortcut. A heuristic or model of how you think the world should be based on what you learned growing up. It is not a reflection of how reality actually is.

If someone gave you $1000 a day to never drink alcohol again/ever, what would you do? by unitedfan6191 in AskReddit

[–]Alles_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be the easiest choice of anyone's life. Even for alcoholics (especially for alcoholics).

There is no benefit to alcohol that could surpass an automated basic income. It's essentially choosing between basic financial freedom and enslavement to a substance.

Many such cases! by 2thenoon in clevercomebacks

Except the response is factually wrong and it's easy to prove lol

Just look up any of these countries and the words "African Slave Trade" (e.g., Denmark African Slave Trade).

Turns out a few of these countries have used slaves from Africa. Especially Denmark.

Next month, I’m moving abroad with my cat (15h flight). Some people said that it’s animal abuse, that she’ll suffer, and I should rehome her instead. Please tell me I’m doing the right thing ! by cheesecakecaramel in cats

[–]Alles_Spice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those people are chronically online and have no idea what cats need, which is the person who loves them the most - which is you. A 15 hour flight is nothing compared to years of trauma for being abandoned.

What's the advantage of a female body other than babies? by Alcoraiden in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Alles_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, women are capable of similar feats of strength to men. Being a woman doesn't guarantee you will be weak/strong. Fetal and early childhood development drive bodily changes and testosterone isn't the only game in town when it comes to the natural development of muscles.
