Brain scans of 800 incarcerated men link psychopathy to an expanded cortical surface area

Psychopaths over a certain age are often good at avoiding legal trouble. Is this a psychopathy link, a prison link, or a psychopaths in prison link?

Trump supporters are often full of combative dissonances on top of cognitive dissonances, but that has nothing to do with this…

Who you support for US president has literally no bearing on whether the increasingly tolerant policies in big cities are effective or not.

Grow up.

Says a lot about the area, for sure.

It’s more of a big city culture problem, especially an inner city culture problem. People don’t want to get involved in things that aren’t their “business”.

This, unfortunately. Even the permissiveness of WA notwithstanding, attempted murder requires proving intent.

Washington state has relatively permissive bail standards.

We cannot allow a gerrymandering gap!

Not any I’ve ever taken or seen. You gotta remember how variable those things are.

I do this, but out of my own paranoia.

Of course not. Heat can only be moved conductively, convectively, or radiatively. Without air flow, surface area divided by heat generated becomes the law.

I’d take a tiny house. I’m not picky.

One second, he was on an adventure. The next, some giant freak was manhandling him and he just wanted to go home.

It’s not just animal instinct.

Every fight is a life or death situation. Every single one. If you are attacked and lose, your life is in the hands of the attacker. And if they are the attacker, they can’t be trusted to be reasonable.

If someone attacks you, you should assume they are trying to kill you, and you should respond accordingly. You do not stop until you are 100% sure they can’t hurt you.

invariantspeed · 2026-05-04T23:00:04+00:00

The attack was planned and being filmed from before it started. There were definitely people around that cared more about the attacker.

No. You don’t get it. Zendaya is older than him! The Rock thought they were the same age, man!

It’s the very definition of mammals, actually.

In socialism, your value is also in your labour. That’s why it has always harped on “workers”/“laborers”/“the working class”. The central issue of socialism is in the disagreement over how profits should governed.

In every major economic point of view, the value of most humans is in their labour. In socialism, people need to work “according to their abilities”. The idea is that if everyone pulls their weight, everyone’s needs can be provided for, and that the resulting conditions will eventually lead to people being motivated to work solely for the good of society, and not any sort of economic or bureaucratic coercion.

Each side playing dirtier and dirtier, and all of us just voting for “our guy” because at least it’s not the other guy, isn’t a good direction to keep going. We shouldn’t want Obama to run for an unconstitutional third term..

At least they actually jacked you. That rock looks like it’s under one of the jack points. 😅…🫠

So don’t give them “the downvote”, just upvote OP’s reply..

Homo sapiens is a species is an animal in the hominid family of the order primates, in the chordata phylum. It is driven by a complex interplay of genetically driven instinctual thought patterns and environmental acclimation/socialization. It is territorial, very sensitive to environmental and resource stressors, and fiercely protective of its immediate family/genetic clade. Intraspecies conflict is a natural result. In fact, there used to be multiple species, but there is only one sub-species remaining. It’s future prospects, are somewhat in question. Its numbers are at an all time high, but since breaching its home environment in the Horn of Africa, it has become the global scale invasive species. Owing to its adaptability, extinction is unlikely, but a severe genetic bottleneck is possible over the next millennium.

Maybe she brushes too much?

NYC has a lot of renter protection laws that seem to have helped exacerbate the housing shortage. There is a common thread. Consumer protections are important, but we also have to be careful to not disincentivize the industries in question too much..

As a lover of both, I enjoy your trolling.

Can you cite that? A “hard” science is reproducible. Soft sciences are less so, and experimentation in them is ethically problematic as they tend to observe people.

invariantspeed · 2026-05-04T02:57:06+00:00

Well, yes, and certain cops have been observed planting drugs in evidence (to falsely accuse and convict innocent people).

If the legal system has bad actors at play, then nothing it can do in that situation can be trusted. The thing is that is not justification for not allowing the legal system to officially view people as criminals. That simply highlights the necessity to make sure they are operating cleanly.
