At first I was tricked a handful of times, but I trained myself in what to look for. At first uneven blemishes proved a useful heuristic, but then when I looked deeper I found the edges and backgrounds were even more effective. The fakes so

This is a valid line of questioning, which I think has largely been addressed in this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/numapp... . However, you phrased the question as &quot

Here's one theory: Psychic ability was researched heavily in the 1960s. It's possible that some people who were heavily involved in psychic research then and after hold great power in key places, and would prefer government policy

Not mentioned in its own thread; Tumblr recently relaxed (but did not eliminate) some of its nudity guidelines very recently (the imposition of which had negatively hurt the site's engagement to say the least). Seems they're reall

I'm noticing a pattern, burning down religious establishments ends up being a waste of valuable gasoline that the ideological thugs will later need to keep the lights on.

Yeah. I was commenting in a thread a few hours ago trying to reason about alcohol's degrading effects on the brain. Also depression and morbid obesity. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33424857 Worry probably cause

What, like some kind of engineered biotech effect that will allow one nation to finally take over the world? It's a spooky enough scenario to be sexy to think about, but not even I'm tinfoil hat enough to think that's a pract

Given the name "slack" I think each person is resting, what you see as the testes being instead a head. They are leaning up, against the back of the next person, rotated 90 degrees. This signifies that Slack keeps you connected, a

I tried to go a little further since the depression study seemed to be focused on total brain matter. I might make a mistake here, but... Grey matter is about 40% of the brain, white matter is 60%, so if we're talking about absolute ma

I'm trying to understand. The impact reported by the study seems to compound with higher amounts (I would imagine as liver and kidney throughput is exceeded and the poison hits you more directly). Standard Control: GM

Minorities can disproportionately succeed by having extreme in-group preference and solidarity, and something approaching a monopoly on some sort of highly profitable racket. They will end up in a position where they are despised, but prote

Tell me about it, man. I think you'd have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find a hypothetical proverbial state + church configuration worse than what we've got today. Let's say, North Korea + Westboro Baptist Church, wo

Maybe, maybe. It's not like solar power becomes utterly useless if you cut out a single digit percent of the input light, whereas that percentage probably would reduce planetary temperature a great degree. NERV did JetAlone dirty. Ro

Yo, looking at these top 5 countries. About 1 in 3 users are in USA right now that's more than I thought. Number of users from China is up by 25%? USA, Uk and India all down about 10% each? Germany also down about 2%. I don't kno

For any thing I might wish had been different, there was a reason, whether I know it or not, that I did something that looks bad. I've become more able to accept my past even though things look quite bleak to me these days. In that pas
