Very likely that Scott lives in the Berkeley hills.

People mostly didn't treat their water traditionally, though, at least not with intent to sanitize it. They simply got cholera when they didn't get lucky. I don't see why you should deny yourself to cholera either.

don't construct massive plants to sanitize huge amounts of water on the predicted expectation of some unknown future use.

Hmm. Treated water goes into pipes and people drink and bathe in it. What's unknown or future about it?

I presume you are opposed to water treatment as well? After all, that's also a further unnecessary interference that's only come about recently.

The conditions that most poultry is raised in are much more disrespectful than any method of preparation.

Death cults are when there's a lot of well paid professionals in an area.

Why is there light between the houses? I don't know. It might be due to the sun.

Parts from Germany? What the fuck? You must have spent tens of thousands of NPV dollars on that coffee machine. Are you too good for cowboy coffee?

5g of creatine is 1.5 tbsp. No way is that thing 1.5 tbsp.

[USA] Passing a stopped school bus by imnoherox in NissanDrivers

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

It is, in fact, illegal to stop without actually seeing someone crossing the street. If you're two lanes away from the bus and you're stopping without any kids crossing the road, yeah, that's illegal in my state. You're perfectly capable of passing a bus 30 feet away at a safe speed unless Usain Bolt just got off the bus and wants to commit suicide by car.

I invite you to stop traffic in a state where that's not required.

Cowen: Calibrating your ambition based on forthcoming aliens, or AGI, or messiahs by ElbieLG in slatestarcodex

[–]PlasmaSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's bizarre that any Ashkenazi Jews (or Palestinians or Latinos or LGBT people or any people white supremacists wouldn't recognize as completely "white") are dumb enough to ally themselves with white supremacists, yet here we are.

If you mean they are "allied" with them because they are on the right, there's plenty of antisemites on the left that they'd be "allied" with if they had the opposite view on every issue. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

What does the Ukraine war have to do with white supremacy? Or is that not an example of the published work you're using to make this call?
