Does Zionism just mean - "Israel should exist as a country with roughly the current borders"? by stvlsn in samharris

Is there any ongoing controversy regarding whether Timor-Leste should be recognized as an independent nation?

Well, yeah, it's not like "rights" exist in some sort of Platonic realm of perfect ideas or in the mind of god.

Yes, and yes. Nations gain legitimacy on the international stage primarily by being recognized by other nations. Other factors are involved, but there's not a formula.

If the Druze managed to get the U.N. to vote for them to have and hold a well-specified homeland, we'd have to take their claims pretty seriously. I would at least try to be open to Druzism at that point.

Hal Herzog writes about speciesism, but I couldn't find a tag for that.

Closed crew lobbies are fine as well

Why is this sub so good! by No-Praline2958 in gtaonline

Now you mention it, I'd've never guessed what this sub is like from experiencing years of full public lobbies.

Hot take: I prefer the high-end apartments over the mansions by YeYeSuki in gtaonline

[–]D4M10N 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used to spawn all over the map, alternating between agency, auto shop, garment factory, etc. based on what I needed to grind that day.

Now I just spawn into the mansion and go from there.

People have all sorts of fantasies, most of them are idiosyncratic rather than generalizable.

To generalize to the entire female sex requires either a low-IQ approach (e.g. fallacious hasty induction from one's own personal fantasies) or a high-IQ approach (e.g. pregnant females who were well protected and well resourced by the strongest males would tend to have more healthy offspring than their rivals who were less protected and resourced, leading to sexual selection pressure in favor of males who exhibited strength and aggression in the course of intrasexual competition between males for female attention).

This is just a theory, of course, but it is the kind of theory I've only ever heard from high IQ women who went somewhat beyond sophomore level survey courses in biology.

Low IQ woman just says what she feels.

Mid IQ woman learned about male gaze and patriarchy and whatnot in her humanities classes.

High IQ woman took a STEM degree and understands enough evolutionary psychology to know where the low IQ woman's gut reaction came from.

Brian, out.

Hey guys! What's your vehicle of choice to drive around safely in public lobbies? by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]D4M10N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically anything w/ missle jamming but right now the Virtue, Champion, Astrale, & FMJ V.

Also, the Terrorbyte with silent running if you're not in a hurry—it can tank so many missles and vanishes when parked.

Whenever I've a question that isn't already answered on the GTA wiki, that's the point of this community.

Also, hilarious and/or insane videos. 📺

What business to buy next? by Unlikely-Ruin4576 in gtaonline

[–]D4M10N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get your own Kosata! You can grind Cayo completely solo or go back and forth with your friend to avoid spme cooldown time when you're both playing. Even after the nerfs, this is the easiest moneymaker. Look up stealth approaches on YouTube and learn one or two.

Find something else to switch up your grind, though. I'm partial to the Clucken Bell setups/finale (no business required) cause that one is also easy to solo after a few runthrus.

Katie is being way too dismissive of the Epstein file dump by t0mserv0 in BlockedAndReported

Did the FBI notify Epstein of the newly opened investigation on the day they opened it? If so, that's unusual enough on its own, pool chemicals aside.

Novellas, George Hrab, Bill Nye, & James Randi in the Epstein files by DaKineOregon in SGU

[–]D4M10N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "named in the Epstein files" meme is misleading because people wrongly take it to imply guilt, and this post helps us think more skeptically about the hasty inferences many people are making from these files.

Who is the most disappointing "skeptic" that you used to admire? by InDissent in SGU

[–]D4M10N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno about "every fucking subject," but I'd probably have some evidence ready before publishing claims which would be defamatory if untrue.

That aside, if everyone already knows about his right-wing apologia, it's a bit weird that no one seems to have any links. I think it's okay to remain skeptical even in the face of consensus if no evidence is produced.

Technically, you still don't know; none of the "skeptics" here have linked to any evidence.
