Is it possible you confused BMI with body fat percentage? Your post makes more sense to me if I substitute "body composition" for "BMI".

OnePlus, LG, and Xiaomi are all included under 'intuitive'. (Though Samsung appears to not be?)

If a dentist recommends a treatment, I always get a blind second opinion. I've had many alleged cavities, which allegedly needed filling, go undetected and untreated by the next dentist. 5-10 years later, I'm convinced the denti

You may have higher levels of calcium in your saliva than normal. I know someone who has poor dental hygiene practices and never had a cavity, partly due to excess calcium. Instead of cavities, he has problems with calcium deposits accumu

Yes, this is a good and important point. There are many people who declare NPC a vile, dehumanizing term...who hypocritically call everyone who disagrees with them a bot.

I am opposed to Yang and his agenda, but I am sympathetic to his (and Yang Gangs) mistreatment. I agree that Yang's passionate supporters grew quickly, and part of this 'bots' narrative is due to cognitive dissonance. But th

I have seen this accusation made frequently towards supporters of Bernie, Tulsi, Trump, and Yang. In all cases the accused were real people. Edit: I could see this kind of mistreatment causing an increase in general anti-establishment sent

I am most definitely not a Yang support, I am critic, and yet I strongly agree with your last sentence. Saying the campaign is driven by bots, based on the 'evidence' presented so far, is an unsubstantiated smear.

From what I have seen of Yang Gangers, that could very well have been the result of real people. A high proportion of them are always online, highly vigilant, eager to participate in online activism.

That is unfortunate. Sadly, it also happens without bots. Some communities self righteously abuse Twitter's reporting system just to silence or censor views they disagree with.

This is a marvelous premise, I'm very glad that games like this are getting made. "Miegakure [Hide & Reveal] is a game where you navigate a four-dimensional world to perform miraculous feats and solve puzzles"

I apologize if my prior statement, made as a direct response to your prior-prior statement, implied that you specifically were conflating an investigation with invalidating your experience. I was just trying to briefly sketch out my positi

Take a moment and think about how difficult it is to moderate a site like this. Understand that their attention is usually drawn to a post by users flagging it, not by their own casual reading of a thread. They probably don't have the

I would agree with you that you are under no obligation to reply to any of the questions, if that is what you are saying. Emphatically. In my opinion, everyone should be encouraged to question the evidentiary basis of any of your beliefs

I have another comment on this same line, which I'll add separately rather than editing my prior comment: > If someone says they are always experiencing something, then we should listen instead of asking them to prove to us that th

There is a major problem of ambiguity at every level of this conversation. At least one person (reasonably) interpreted the claim to be that women are more likely to experience a particular kind of response in a particular forum. This is n

Thank you for being so patient, and for engaging in good faith. If your use of 'wtf' suggests a growing frustration, please know at least one person both sympathizes with you and hopes that you won't let any frustration damag

You comment is structured so as to imply an identity or equivalence that doesn't exist. A claim was made without evidence. The respondant made a valid argument for the improbability of the claim being true, given that gender is norma

I prefer using a browser on Android that has integrated ad blocking with no extension needed. As with ad blocking extensions, browsing becomes lightening fast.

My understanding of the abstract is simply that they had previously postulated a new particle of a particular mass to explain a prior set of data, and that a new set of data from a different experiment gives evidence a missing particle with

Nobody has claimed that Mozilla's argument is invalid just because Mozilla are hypocrites for making it. People are expressing displeasure over Mozilla's hypocrisy, which is a valid issue, orthogonal to the merits of their prosel

I'm fairly certain that the parent meant to say that the original criticism of Mozilla did not make any statement about whether the content of Mozilla's proselytizing is right or wrong.

Did you mean pb7, the poster you responded to, when you wrote "Your original argument"?

Yes, I understand tu quoque, I just don't see it here. It appears to me that one must strawman the grandparents post in order to shoehorn tu quoque onto it.

The context here is "the price at which you sell out". You can simultaneously believe that 120k is a massive salary, and also a sad, disappointing level for a person to sell out.

This is an interesting take, but surprising to me when the alleged "judgmental" and "peer pressure"ing people are the EFF. The EFF has a well earned reputation for rational, well considered positions. Did you mean to d

I don't see any actual logical fallacy here. Tu quoque is often misunderstood and mis-applied. Can you explain, in very specific terms, what you see as logically incorrect here?
