Exactly. You still need to detect which person is in the photograph in order to determine that it is a person who has opted-out. This feature is an incredibly half-assed PR attempt.

You don’t think statues of anyone should exist? What about Michelangelo’s David?

>Youthful rebellion needn’t always exist. Respectfully disagree. Youthful rebellion appears to be driven by hormone-related factors (elevated risk tolerance) rather than being driven by reactions to anything in particular about a society

Wow, Ghiridaradas coming so correct. I tried to read his book “Winners Take All” multiple times and found it absolutely unreadable, he kept restating the same point with different overly-complex words and name-drops. But here he writes with

>Caves are an entirely different context Respectfully disagree. >A sick society inclines people towards damaging the structures built around them because they see those structures as symbolising their own oppression in some capacity.

Disagree, even Ancient Rome had graffiti. As did caves. Are you trying to say that humans in caves had “profoundly sick societies?” Graffiti is a natural instinct. REPRESSING that instinct signals a sick society.

Ancient Greeks were “bombarded by unrealistic image ideals hundreds of times a day” as well while passing sculptures and murals in public places. Yet these “unrealistic image ideals” served as a font of inspiration! The “unrealism” and “ide

You could begin by choosing to feel good when seeing an inspiring (even “unrealistically” inspiring) image like Michelangelo’s David. :)

“8% of the variance in sexual orientation is determined by genetics” is literally a quote from the study. I don’t have a personal viewpoint one way or another. I’m literally just reading the facts as they’re presented and saying “many types

This is a ridiculous criticism. Ancient Greeks didn’t look at sculptures of ripped dudes and “feel bad about themselves.” They got INSPIRED and felt GOOD about themselves. Be like an Ancient Greek.

I completely believe you when you say you are “born this way.” I know many people in that boat. However, it still makes sense to me that only 8% of the variance in sexual orientation is determined by genetic factors. Some are “straighter” t

I agree. The “rape rooms” did not justify the war. My point was that the war had APPARENT reasons, not valid reasons. There were no valid reasons.

No apparent reason? What about the “rape rooms”?

Hypnosis is real. No question. Learn it for yourself and you’ll simply be astonished what you can accomplish. However, in many ways hypnosis is synonymous with “learning.” Your father hypnotized you into learning math, physics, and chemistr

All those claims are proven to be incorrect. Not even the best hypnotist in the world can hypnotize someone into doing something against their will. I agree “intimidating a creature with primal fear for fun and profit” is not that cool. But

The landmark is how little they paid. IMO, the fine is appropriate because J&J was an inappropriate scapegoat in the first place — the damage they did is nothing compared to Purdue, for example.

NICE open-mindedness in acquiring your hypnosis knowledge man. >I’m still largely puzzled as to why it might have a naturally selected basis. Well, you just said it yourself: reading is a form of auto-hypnosis. All communication has a hy

It is definitely real hypnosis. The definition of hypnosis is so vague and nebulous that this absolutely falls within the umbrella of “hypnosis.” To be specific it is visual hypnosis.

Yes. I believed MJ’s innocence too... I so desperately wanted to believe in his innocence because he was such an incredible artist... until I saw the documentary and did more research. He had “child companions” one at a time, alone in h

Yes, a museum director is fundamentally a tax guy. They’re not paying for the work that gets “donated,” so a museum director is a negotiable third party who is highly willing to appraise works at values the Donor suggests. The incentive

Schwab is your move, IMO. I know a ton of people who moved from WF to Schwab and never looked back. Zero international ATM fees and great customer service. Solid app too.

The problem with this entire concept is that every stoner I know is actually a safer and more risk-averse driver while stoned.

>Do you actually dispute that colonialism has caused more harm than emigration? Wow. Holy shit. I don’t dispute it, I just don’t claim to know because I’m not omniscient, and people who claim to know are actually just taking it on faith
