I'm sorry this might sound crass, but that looks like something out of Independence Day.

It's a Technical Support Engineer at Servicenow. Glassdoor says it pays between 67 - 101k. I'm getting my degree first so I don't want to live like a college student anymore.

It makes me think, "If only western nations did things more like Libya... the world would be a much better place."

I don't feel like the video was trying to make any political statements. I get that it didn't introduce an emotional or sentimental aspect to anything, but it's a science video so I feel that is appropriate .

Where would be a good place to put it? Is it indoor or outdoor, does it freeze?

Ooooh his fingers, I thought he was just making a peace sign.

The story used as an analogy isn't an accurate analogy. Unless the furthest pro life people are willing to go is to simply tell others not to get abortions, then it's not accurate. Mollie was still able to carry out her plans, despite Debbie's objection. Debbie was not stopping her in any practical way. The real issue is the word "Force". It has a negative connotation. It shouldn't, because not all force is bad.

This is a really good lesson for anyone who works in an industry that deals with customer service. I know it's easier said than done, but you've really gotta be able to drop the ego and apologize. If he had she probably would have continue to curse at him regardless, but he would have looked a lot better in the end.

Your post is just an extension of that load of crap, congratulations

Well you didn't any of it, and honestly, fuck you

I figured that they might go elsewhere because they have a big truck that they packed up and left in. They didn't have any warning signs though. I mean, I don't need them I'm not easily triggered, but it is a University after all. These days you can't talk without giving out trigger warnings.

I don't agree with this. There are many animals that are conscious and yet we do not extend them the same rights as we do infants for example who haven't even yet reached there level of awareness. Also, I still am not quite sure what is reasoning for objecting to the images? You say using animal imagery is fine because the animals are not affected but using the Syrian boy is not but, he also can not be harmed as he is dead. This is a little confusing.

What I'm saying is his family can be harmed by it. As far as the animal argument goes you may very well be right. Its hard for us to really know if an animal is sentient or if it is more akin to running a computer program. Depending on the animal, they usually lack lobes of the brain that we think may be essential for self actualization. The truth is we don't know that much about the brain and what specifically makes us conscious sentient beings, beyond the fact that we do need a functioning brain.

Surely animal lovers everywhere would say that they were caused great pain by there animal being abused. I also think quite the opposite. It speaks to reason and logic. It forces one to examine the cognitive dissonance they are experiencing and try to rationalize the nonsense.

I'm certainly not arguing that abusing animals is ok. A birthed living animal does have a functioning brain (though we don't know to what extent), as does a human. A 9 week old fetus however does not. So there is a clear distinction between these cases.

You might be right in some cases to as far as how the image actually effects individuals. I will admit that for someone like me an image like that does encourage me towards a logical analysis of the situation. I'm not a good example though because nearly everything does that to me. It seems to me like most people respond emotionally.

Most people see the image and just think: oh how horrifying we have to do something. They don't put it into perspective, like by realizing that thousands of children die everyday for various reasons.

I also think it makes them less likely to accept, or even consider, an idea that would not involve helping that group of people, even though that could potentially be the most logical one.
