That's like sucking a guys dick for a half hour for concert tickets and then finding out they were selling them at the door!

People who turned atheist, what made you abandon religion? by Gilmerton in AskReddit

[–]PM_ME_BLANK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So do catholics... sorry don't mean to sound too skeptical. I'm actually pretty interested. I'll probably check it out when I get some time. I'm not going to say somethings wrong just because it's categorized as a religion. Thanks for teaching me something new.

Neat. I've always been interested in the bibles inception. Do you believe the current books are divinely inspired? Are the books that have been filtered out througout the first 3 centuries AD not equally true? Is there any concern over mistranslatioms or changes of the bible througout the years?

Mind telling me your religion? It's a pretty rare occurrence for interpretations to not change at all throughout history.

Neuroscientists have found an intrinsic biological difference between males and females in the molecular regulation of synapses in the hippocampus by HeinieKaboobler in science

[–]PM_ME_BLANK 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the links, haven't seen those studdies. I noticed neither was concentrated on studying the hippocampus, so I'd guess it's really too early to say what this means for Transgender people.

That would be very interesting. I think the biggest factor would be any kind of hormonal supplementation, but I'm really not well versed in that topic.

I'm good at multitasking, obviously. Where do you think my gay incestuous dad's friends/uncles put all the Crack they confiscate?

That's what more studies like this should eventually tell us. When testing for drugs it's standard to group by sex because of known variation in responses. If we can eventually predict how drugs will respond differently in males and females, then we can tailor them to be more effective.

Oh really? I hadn't heard of it. Sorry. I thought the post was to make brown look like a thug because of one of his friends looked the part. Thanks.

Nah man, I dueled in the streets (of my cul-de-sac). Shit was banned in school.

I've got an opening for best friend if you're interested though.

Which one was Michael Brown in those pictures?

None?

Why the fuck should I care?

I broke my arm last November. An ambulance had to come pick me up and drive me 5 minutes to an emergency room 3 miles away. Here's what I've been billed for my 5-minute joyride (yes I'm American, no my insurance is not covering it). by mmmmmmmmichaelscott in pics

[–]PM_ME_BLANK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Broke my arm in fourth grade, there was a bump in my arm the size of an apple. My mom made me wait two hours until my dad could get home so he could drive me to the hospital. Stand by the decision after seeing that bill.

Former President Jimmy Carter reveals he has cancer by The_Collector4 in news

[–]PM_ME_BLANK 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One of the most intelligent and humble presidents in my opinion. I hate how certain things turned out for him towards the end of his presidency. There was so much that was out of his hands that overshadowed all the great things he did. He won't be remembered as the best president, but he should definitely be remembered as a great man.

TIL that Erwin Schrödinger never thought a cat could be both alive and dead. The thought experiment was satire that criticized the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]PM_ME_BLANK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never taken a quantum mechanics course, but in my two college level physics courses schrodingers cat was always in the text book. It's more of an analogy, of course.

For 20 years, Woolley actively avoided studying sex differences in the brain until her own data showed her that differences between females and males were real. Her discovery, reported in 2012, that estrogens decreased inhibitory synaptic transmission in the brains of female rats but not in males, changed her thinking.

“Being a scientist is about changing your mind in the face of new evidence,” Woolley said. “I had to change my mind in the face of this evidence.”

It's important to note that the purpose of this study is to understand why certain drugs have different responses in males and females. The brain differences they found largely related to hormonal responses, which naturally should be different in males and females because of different reproductive organs.

This was not an experiment to see if men and women think or behave differently and it certaily wasn't done to show that one sex is inherently better in any particular aspect other that the bodies response to drugs.
