42-39 - Undifferentiated-Androgynous I'm a bit dorkish but I'd describe myself as presenting masculine. I do however prefer woman friends who seem a bit more grown up in the ways that matter to me - so this result doesn't really surprise me. I have a very strong focus on people and my academic...

Revan from Kotor.

obviously not safe space cos leftist peanut gallery jeering at civil discourse

Racist is the new n word

While I think you're correct that 100% proof is impossible, I don't think it's unethical to claim knowledge without 100% proof, and I don't think it's necessarily bias either. Do you know that it's not proven? Do you know that only correlation is established? Do you know that it's bias? I...

It sounds like social anxiety disorder? I'd got to a shrink and see what they think. Drinking can ease mild anxiety temporarily, but unless you've learned how to handle yourself you're likely going to go and fuck up in the most regrettable ways. People are idiots when they first start drinking...

I majored in psychology. I'm not sure if I'd exchange it for something else, but I'd like to get some political science, sociology, engineering, business, and economics under my belt. Maybe some neuroscience too, but that'd largely be reinforcing the areas I've already covered.

Cramming is shit anyway. Time management is king.

To be clear, I was asking why people seem to be obsessed with it beyond its value in predicting academic and occupational success, as well as cognitive decline/deficits. It's not as bad as it was, because a lot of the people who talked about IQ have left us. At the time, it seemed to me like...

There're two reasons I can think of: Sometimes people are oblivious to the reasons they say things. Sometimes they think they're saying a joke, but they're testing the social waters for what's okay to talk about, or trying to wiggle their way around the social hierarchy. They don't think to...

I find the topic of how to codify society interesting but am perturbed by your proselytising.

But you promoted someone who doesn't agree with women's rights, undermining your own intended goal. So I'm pointing that out to you because the context you're providing doesn't make sense given the point you're trying to make. See how Serac's response was about lefts and tolerance, not...

Most progressives don't have a problem thinking Islam is wrong about women, if we're assuming that Islam's views are the regressive ones that are constantly discussed in media. It's not a very strong gotcha at all. Admittedly some don't really get it and get flustered when asked probing...

Just to be clear, the author of that video thinks that women shouldn't have the option to choose who they sleep with - he's not some centrist who's open mindedly just calling it how he sees it. He's an extreme conservative who's pretending that it's a troll when he genuinely believes regressive...

When I know I'm right? Then generally... I'm less engaged tbh? Why does it matter so much that you convince them? I get super engaged in arguments if someone is pushing their beliefs on me, or if I'm not sure where I stand, but if I'm confident in my position I can let it go. Also, you've...
