Exactly. Name names or fuck off

That’s nothing. I’m so hot and good at sex, I can make you like sex with men that say that they can make you like men and sex.

Seriously though, I had a friend that used to boast that he’d ‘turned his girlfriend straight’. She was maybe 19, so any reasonable person would assume she’s still figuring herself out. I couldn’t get my head around the level of hubris needed to think you have that power. Do these guys truly believe they have literally magical penises?

Technically, it didn’t disappear at all!

Completely incorrect. Empiricism does not require faith. And empiricism has no immutable dogma or doctrine. While empiricism can provide the guidance that religion offers, it is not a religion.

Fascinating stuff. Or at least I assume it would be, if it made any sense.

I came here to upvote this. Thank you for commenting

Oof

She’s praised the perpetrators? When? Can you link it?

I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if any evidence of that ever comes out.

I think you’ve got s point there. Making fun of people in that way is surely going to entrench their views.

I think everyone -including public figures- should be allowed to learn from their mistakes and grow. I think social media can interfere with that and make people refuse to admit error and double down for fear of being cancelled. Ideally this should change.
But, the case of Jo Rowling in particular is egregious. Not only does she refuse to engage with the possibility of being wrong, her bigotry extends beyond words, into concrete, hateful actions where she is fuelling the fire of transphobia worldwide with her influence, both parasocial and financial. That results in misery and suffering for millions. Fuck Jo Rowling.
This condemnation of her doesn’t extend to everyone. And if she one day sees the light and walks everything back, then she should get a chance to redeem herself, too.

The clues to who she is were there all along in her writing. She couldn’t keep quiet, because she believes what she’s doing is right. Because she’s conservative.
The only major black character in the series is called “Shacklebolt”. The only Asian, “Cho Chang”. Zero LGBTQ representation in the books. Harry had the world at his feet and decided to join the police. The whole struggle of the saga is for a return to the status quo, rather than a better world. General lack of female agency, and women just being hysterical and needing to be slapped out of it. Goblins as an antisemitic trope. I could go on.
I put it to you that it was inevitable that, one way or another, her rancorous bile would have spilled out into the public debate as soon as she got famous.

Netenyahu has wanted the US to back Israel’s war with Iran for at least 20 years. Trump is the first president sufficiently cognitively challenged to do it.
These people are opportunists, not 5D chess players.

You’re only shining a light on part of the fascist machine here.
Fascism others all people. It’s a divide and rule strategy applied to society. Women, minorities, disabled, gay, poor, trans…
Of course it includes gender supremacy, as well as racial, religious, philosophical supremacy etc. This is just another lever of power for fascists; a symptom, not the disease itself.
It’s one of the most naked contradictions in fascism, Hitler wasn’t Aryan. Women fascists are still male supremacists. People still vote for it.

Hoopy frood t-shirt, towel and a dressing gown?

Wha?

The journey would have put them both at risk. That’s why Rocky was the sole survivor of his crew, they all died from cosmic radiation exposure during the trip from Erid, while he was protected because he bunked near the fuel tanks. The trip across the Tau solar system took weeks.
During sampling, Grace wore an EVA suit, which provides radiation protection. Also his dose would have been low, as he was only outside for a matter of minutes.

It’s a damn shame the hive mind has decided “nuclear bad” , without really attempting to understand the issue. A purely pragmatic approach demands the commissioning of nuclear power plants, and this vibes-based opposition to nuclear power only has the effect of strengthening fossil fuel’s grip on the energy economy and hastening the climate apocalypse.

This paper appears to be saying that in the future, if the entire European continent connects it would be technically possible to not have to add new baseload

Their findings indicate that a secure, net-zero European electricity system is technically robust and economically viable when based on VRE paired with extensive flexibility, storage, and grid interconnections, without requiring new baseload capacity.

Because Rocky’s ship has no science equipment, no radiation shielding, and is under 29 atmospheres of ammonia. The technical challenges to allow Grace to roam in the Blip A are far greater than those allowing Rocky to roam the Mary. Granted, the film shows Grace going into the Blip A, but this didn’t happen in the book.
