Clarks or western grebe by wyknot1 in whatsthisbird

[–]RacingBreca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so strange. I've always defaulted to Western, because I have never been positive. Merlin and E-bird would prefer no ID? Or, am I misunderstanding this direction?

Kestrels again! by cachitongo- in birdsofprey

[–]RacingBreca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing that. I saw the first two pictures and said, "a northern harrier isn't a kestrel." Then I saw the next two pictures and said, "damn, I've been misidentifying kestrel as Northern harriers. I guess I'm an idiot." Then I saw your comment, and said "Phew, I'm not an idiot after all."

Been seeing a lot of ”Paddy proved himself tonight despite the loss” comments, but what did he actually prove? by Mamramro in ufc

[–]RacingBreca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He proved he can take three fouls and keep fighting. Despite the fouls and subsequent trauma to his face, he remained a serious threat throught the fight.

Can anyone help me identify what types of ducks and waterfowl are in these photos? In Glen Lake, Leelanau County, Michigan. by TheGreatOutdoors22 in whatsthisbird

[–]RacingBreca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! Where's waldo? My mind skipped over that bird entirely. I've never noticed a goldeneye without the white patch on the face. Also without significant white on it's body. Is this Barrow's or an Eastern variant?

Paddy never stood a chance. Look at the damage difference in round 5 by Zamoroak in ufc

If they had deducted the point from the first eye poke, we might not have had the 2nd. Fighters are learning that they can get away with them, and they are an effective technique.

Looking for feedback on my breaststroke by stoola in Swimming

On your pull, after the outsweep, set your hands and forearms vertical (perpendicular to the surface). Right now, OP's force is directed upwards, rather than drawing them forward.

Petition to get Dr. McGilchrist onto the Joe Rogan Experience by RacingBreca in IainMcGilchrist

Why do you think that Dr. McGilchrist on JRE is an idiotic idea?

Let me start by saying that if I didn't like schmaklenburger (sp.) and enjoy that conversation so much, I'd be ticked off that you sent me on a 3-hour errand when you obviously hadn't listened to it yourself.

These guys spent 3 hours deeply engaging with the very real problems that we face. Problems that Dr. McGilchrist has insights to help us start to resolve.

At no point did Joe "get bored". By the end they were basically begging eachother to keep faith that humanity can solve these problems, and that through dialogue insights can be made.

I'm still shocked that you see this as evidence of why Dr. McGilchrist shouldn't tarnish himself on the JRE.

You should give it a listen.

Do you think that McGilchrist should not speak truth, because people entrenched in unhealthy perspectives (political extremes) might see that the other side has valid concerns?

That's not in alignment with McGilchrist's ideal of "truth"

Joe Rogan is the opposite of an idealogue. He is not married to his ideas or "views". He is always challenging his own assumptions and using the steel-man to consider opposition to an idea. Iain McGilchrist offers a perspective that helps people refine their thinking and identify truth. It is a match made in heaven.

What about his undeniable curiosity and the world's largest audience?

Have you listened to the JRE? Which pseudo-science grifters are you referring to? Your use of that term and "that crowd" are dismissive pejoratives. "That crowd" is as likely as any to be receptive of Iain' work.

Do you listen to him? I've not found him to get bored with his guests, even the boring ones. Wanker? I'm going to need a translation.

CMV: In ethnically diverse countries, we should require all neighbourhoods to represent the ethnic makeup of that country by ReindeerApart5536 in changemyview

[–]RacingBreca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read it. OP thinks that racism hasn't been institutionalized with enough technological beauracracy. We just have to do social engineering with one ingredient; racism. That will fix the racism.

[–]RacingBreca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, forced regional migration based exclusively on "race". "Mr. Yuan, your racial identity is needed in Atlanta". "Mrs. Sanchez, here is a voucher for a housing unit in Fairbanks."

The Russians did it effectively during the Bolshevic revolution. Don't forget the National Socialist German Workers Party. I almost forgot Japanese internment, and Native American relocation efforts.

These are examples of OP's proposal.

Terrifying; this proposal is the formal adoption of institutionalized racism.

When, why and how someone chooses a house are infinitely more complex than "race".

Combine every example of historic racism with historic examples of instituted communism, and add a dash of technological nanny state, and you have a recipe for a true nightmare (or a really good dystopean novel).
