Beavers are not pretentious. They have accepted that they are fundamentally cool and so are comfortable remaining at that level, therefore, as they ha...

Let us call this parameter one. Let us call this parameter two. Therefore, applying the above two parameters, I postulate the following: Mark realizes...

You present an interesting dilemma: choosing which identity issue is more valid and therefore more supportable. Narcists and megalomaniacs are apparen...

I take issue with the idea that I am expected to address people by the gender identity that they claim to relate to, rather than the gender they appea...

Gender is the descriptor of an idea which supports a generalized pattern of behaviours that allows for a rapid, albeit non-specific, understanding of ...

Where are you getting your basics from? I am surrounded by those who have more than "the basics" physically and economically at least, and who are sol...

The cause of any substantial population decline, in any population, will not be pleasant to observe, let alone partake of. It is an interesting study ...

You effectively capture a great deal that I dislike about people in one short sentence. 4 out of five items enhance laziness, the other, while benefic...

I elected a "work before school" model. Graduate High school (terrible education and I cared not at all). I chose to get trade certification (red seal...

Indeed. It is the requiring of it that I would avoid. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Nope, not disappointed. Sometimes a decent debate ensues, which is always enjoyable. It is unfortunate when it descends into name calling. That reflec...

Funny how a little perspective changes so much eh! Thank god I am not 20 anymore...YEECH!!

Pretty much, I am not here to change minds. Maybe there is an off chance I say something that makes someone take a moment to think about the topic. Th...

Flawed, certainly. Beautiful...it has it's moments, but they are far between and I am starting to not look for them anymore. I appreciate the world an...

Not as frustrating as you might think, although my opinion of the race is in decline. Which is saying something as I did not have a high opinion of it...

You could try, but make no mistake, someone will put you down hard within a minute or two, and likely into a field shortly thereafter. Your comparison...

risk-aversion, stability seeking. That pretty much sums it up. Little risk, little payoff. I know it sounds cliche, but it is also accurate. I grew up...

...amazing what can happen when the people that are in charge of public funding can get when they suddenly have an interest in an outcome.

Interestingly your "vast teams of scientific experts" did not support lockdowns, generalized masking, or border closures...until the politicians got i...

I simply cannot make more broken down and simple to understand. You don't get it, either by choice or by intellectual diversity. Regardless, it is cle...

Sure, if you follow policy. At some point, I would expect people to say "enough, this is stupid policy and I will do something else." Although, admitt...

Quick question before I get into it: How many of us posting on here about incels being such and such or having this or that perspective either are, or...

Which seems counterintuitive. As a parent, I sacrifice for my children's future, I do not sacrifice my children for my future, nor my parent's future....

I would suspect it depends on the condition of the "living" daughter. I am aware of some conditions that death would be preferable to. Either way, if ...

I did not say Covid is hoax. Not ever. I said the response to Covid is fear based, not fact based. Yep, Covid killed over 300000 state side, and just ...

I can't speak to the statistics of Europe without doing substantial research, and frankly, I am finishing off a 12 hour night, so just don't want to g...

Never stop laughing. Far too many people take themselves far too seriously. Take time to watch the gophers. They have things figured out! Eat, sunbath...

Nope. Genetic predisposition has been fielded, however the triggering event theory is applicable in these situations also. Most of the histories that ...

Little known detail outside of the healthcare world: most of our hospitals run at 95-115% capacity as an operating normal. I listen to the news spew p...

Yep. Pretty spot on there eh. If I want to push the evil of smoking I make sure I attribute any lung cancer, heart attack, or stroke deaths as having ...

Bold request since no one really understands auto immune diseases. If I could tell you exactly how it happens I would be up for a Nobel prize and woul...

no worries about becoming sterile, My kids are all grown up. I object to getting the vaccine because, of the two options available to me: My training,...

Mrna produces viral "spikes" to identify the "other". The body's immune system attacks the "other", as in the actual virus, and immunity is achieved. ...

Eliminate people. That is pretty much utopia for everything else. Also for people, as it eliminates strife and government and all the rest.

Within our current system it is very difficult to obtain appropriate treatment for mental health issues and there is extremely little room for an indi...

you know, until it turns out that you don't get covid but everyone that got the injection is rendered sterile. Then...actually, it won't matter much t...

Exactly right.

I came here to see what is being posted by those of a philosophical bend, presumably of higher functioning than those I am regularly dealing with. Mos...

I have slowed down. I had kids, reassessed my life and put them first. Such is the way of life. But I am a much more severe judge for myself than othe...

You should talk to them, ask them how they feel about it. The ones I know looked forward to action, but I make no assumptions that all of them do. How...

Life isn't safe. Wear your mask, get the vaccine, live in a bubble. You are still gonna die eh. I plan on living a little before the end, those are my...

I think that allowing you to wear your mask, respecting your decision, while not mandating you to adopt mine, recognizing that your values are differe...

I would not have stressed her out so much in the first place. I have a very different approach to life than you have it seems. I am very comfortable w...
