I think it's a good time to reevaluate things like creationism and global warming being a hoax. Why would a group of less intelligent people know better than a group of more intelligent people?

And the worst?

Best: Jim

Worst: Slash

How would you deal with them? Would you take harder stances against the country and allow tensions to rise? Would you try and form more diplomatic connections between them and the US/UK? Or would you take a more neutral isolationist approach?

I think going back to Cold War relations is actually the best way to go. It may sound stupid, but considering how it affects worldwide competition, it's actually the most economical tactic for the entire globe. Economics of course heavily correlate with the welfare of people, so it certainly an important factor to consider.

If it were your decision, what would you do?

This starts to make sense when you consider most poor minority groups in urban areas vote blue.

Welfare dependency/farming for votes i.e. slavery.

Option C, the judiciary?

Ooh, fucken ell, didn't think of that one.

Commonlaw4lyfe

So essentially the executive branch, legislative branch, or the judicial?

So the MSA (Muslim Student Association) was giving out free cake today but only if you asked the table a question about Islam. So I asked about the cultural differences of Islam among the different regions of the world and they explained how religion and culture are two different things and two separate practices. For example weddings are not supposed to mix their local cultural traditions and religious traditions (not that the rule is always held though).

Anyway, part of the process of getting free cake was writing down our name and phone number for some raffle I guess. Of course I immediately forget about all of that once I get the free cake which was fucking delicious.

About an hour or two later I get a call from a random number that I let go to voicemail since I was in my friend's car and it was way too loud to hear anything they would say anyway. So they sent me a text saying "Hi is this Dustin? Just wanted to let you know on behalf of the MSA you won the edible arrangement." At first it immediately strikes me as a scam so I'm extremely tempted to text back to 'go fuck yourselves.' No really I had it typed out and everything until one my friends snatched the phone from my hands and yelled at me for being rude. So instead I texted back "MSA?" and the guilt I felt after seeing that they were the nice people who gave me free cake was just horrible. But I went and got the free edible arrangement and man it was so good.

Sorry this isn't another philosophy story, those are usually pretty good.

Let me pose a question to you: Why are you so against feminism?

The forum thinks there's a difference between feminism and women's rights but doesn't think there's a difference between feminism and 4chan trolling.

Not helping.

Everyone has a different definition of what feminism is.

ITT: We discuss the psychophysics of internet trolling

It's an interesting topic actually. Mere digital words on a screen, with no real energy value other than the light that bounces off of it into your eyes, can somehow make people rage so hard they throw their computer mouse across the room and shatter it into a million pieces. But how could such an energy transfer take place? How could the typing of words piss people off so much?

Here's what I'm thinking. We've got to be implanted with things called "triggers" that set us off and causes us to expel large amounts of energy. The "bait" on the computer screen is simply a signal, that which sets of the trigger and causes what's known as butthurt.

What do you guys think of the psychophysics of internet trolling? Is it a mysterious energy transfer or is it a trigger?

Have you tried swimming to make you smarter? Holding your breath expands the veins and arteries in your head, thus allowing for a larger amount of blood flow to your brain. It's best to start by holding your breath for at least ten minutes a day (it doesn't have to be all at once), and eventually work your way up. In a few months time you should see a noticeable difference.
