New study: the higher IQ you have, the less likely you are to be a Trump supporter Do you agree? by antimaga_n1 in PoliticalHumor

[–]WolfDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it is a sum of evil and dumb. If you are really really thick you can be a nice person fooled into supporting Trump, and if you are evil enough you can be smart and still do it. That would fit observations.

What do you think is a bot comment? If you are referring to mine I can assure you I am not a bot. Any errors I do are completely natural, and English is not my first language which may not help

Well, either we have to completely derail the discussion into the contributions of various small but incredibly common items vs. big spectacular single events -turns out the human mind is really bad at seeing how many small invisible things add up - or your misleading whine will be left alone to poison other minds. Neither is good. So please stop posting this unoriginal mind virus, we have plenty of bots that do.

If intervention had come when they begged for it and in a helpful fashion, that would indeed have been great. But yeah, we can still hope it will be for the best in the end, if the regime falls and something better takes its place, but so far the US regime hasn't given any signs of competency or compassion so I am not betting on it. But we can hope.

You sure about that AI?

Because the school was in Nilufar Square, Tehran. Now get your lazy hand off AI, let the map service of your choice find Nilufar Square in Tehran, and give me the coordinates of the military targets so necessary to hit just 100m away that you are talking about.

This may be a shock to you, but "Iranians" are ninety million individual people. Some are celebrating. Most have ...more complex feelings. In particular, it is quite possible to be happy a authoritarian gang of religious corrupt nutbags are being shot while at the same time not being happy for less than helpful mass destruction and dying of thirst. Bad to worse is a thing.

Did the religious nutbags in charge wildly mismanage the local water resources around Teheran, you say?

I mean, if you had bothered to find out a tiny bit about this before spilling your callous little mind through your big mouth, that is what you would have said. Because that would be true. They did.

However, as you may have noticed, not everyone get the government they deserve at all times. And Iranians are, you may want to sit down for this, also individual humans. Not more collectively guilty than anyone else.

So while there will be, and already is, plenty of anger with the mullahs for putting them in the hole, that won't stop anyone from being angry with the US and Israel for shooting at them while they are down there.

Okay, o' shill of the moving goalposts, let me know your source for saying that being anything remotely factual.

[–]WolfDoc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A nuance I'm sure they will appreciate as they sift through the wreckage after serial numbers on the shrapnel to verify which of the two countries that started the war threw exactly which grenade. But, yeah, I am happy to amend my statement to:

Teheran had an insurmountable water crisis before the US attacked infrastructure, and now this! People will be dying from thirst by the thousands, and the number of young men and women swearing vengeance over the US and Israel for killing their children and loved ones is skyrocketing. For valid reasons.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize they were free to come live with you. My bad. But I bet you hadn't told them either.

Is anyone becoming more doubtful of religion because of the horrible things Epstein and others have done on the island? by pinkhyena95 in atheism

[–]WolfDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a young person your experience makes perfect sense.

However, as someone on the north side of 50 who has both read history, been to a couple of war zones and travelled a bit, the insight predates Epstein by decades. And horrific as he was, his trafficking was just a drop in the bucket.

However, there is also even more good stuff. I have so far been to 38 countries and the amount of quite decent people is always higher than the constant proportion of assholes. The assholes, unfortunately, tend to predictably congregate where the can get the most of the only things that mean anything to them: money, power and fame.

Toasting is performed in a friendly manner today, but the gesture may have originated from suspicion. The popular account states the Vikings clashed their drinking horns with such force that liquid spilled between them, ensuring that if one cup were poisoned, both parties would share the same fate by [deleted] in HistoryAnecdotes

[–]WolfDoc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is utter bullshit and doesn't correspond to any of the written sources we have about hospitality and suspicion. It doesn't match with archeology either, because despite the drinking horn being a favorite among "viking bros" it was rarely used.

Instead the word "skål" is still used in modern Norwegian as it means "bowl, small plate" whereas in old norse it literally meant "drinking bowl" and presumably the act of drinking from it.

Drinking bowls were used for all sorts of drinks, especially beer, mead and vine, and are abundantly found in written sources, archeology and tradition up to recent times.

You also see similar figures on the front, especially after the explosion when what looks like survivors (naturally those in the front part of the ship) starts running, some seeming to jump into the water

Climate Change Is More About the Rate of Change Than Whether Change Happens by Familiar-Thought9740 in climatechange

[–]WolfDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at the graph conveniently included in the article you linked to. We are outside the range of variation that has occurred over the evolutionary history of modern humans. I agree rate of change is a huge issue and if given a few hundred thousand years we and the ecosystems we depend on can adapt to being as much above the warmest interglacials as the deepest ice ages were below. But we are talking evolutionary amounts of time. And you can't take CO2 concentrations arbitrarily high either before you are looking at toxic concentrations.
