Game Theory is based on the idea that everyone is suspicious and untrustworthy and will betray and harm each other whenever it benefits them or even just because they feel like it. Like most economics it doesn't hold up to actual double-blind scientific testing and isn't real science, instead it was largely just Nash filtering his undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenia through little games he and his peers would play together and declaring anyone who didn't fit into his expected outcome as an unfit test subject. This model of humans being madmen that would turn on each other in an instant was basically the cornerstone of all post-WWII social policy and Cold War military strategy and led to the hostile isolated hellscape we currently inhabit.

Adam Curtis is good and all his docs are worth watching IMHO.

I think she’s just dumbing it down for him, but yes, other species do it too. There was a study from MIT that looked at this sort of by accident, because what it was originally focused on was roadkill. Somebody noticed that crows were getting hit by trucks on the Mass Turnpike at higher rates than you’d expect, so they did some field study to figure out why. It had to do with pattern recognition and murder behavior (murder of crows, I mean), and how they set “watchcrows” to warn the group of danger while they fed on other roadkill. Crows can definitely tell the difference between trucks and cars, and it turned out that trucks were more dangerous because none of the Boston watchcrows could say “TRUCK!” but of course they could all say “CAH, CAH, CAH”

A big mac has 9g sugar out of 219g, or 4.1% sugar. A slice of angel food cake, which is the first poo poo that popped up when I typed "cake nutrition" into google, has 15g sugar out of 50g, or 30% sugar.


augh

Stop loving making up dumb stuff to make Big Macs sound unhealthy, when a.) we all know they're unhealthy already, you don't need to tell us, and b.) there are plenty of actual facts you could be using!

There's more to healthy nutrition than "does this have sugar in it," and Big Macs are unhealthy even though they don't have very much sugar. This all should be extremely loving obvious to anyone who has even the most rudimentary understanding of human nutrition and the contents of a hamburger.

lmao, white Australia doesn't have culture. The only real difference between Melbourne and Darwin is that in Darwin the drinks come in smaller glasses so your beer doesn't warm up too much before you finish it.

In my defense. I was in High School and a friend of mine had me join the site using the pitch that I could download movies and stuff. Which back then were only from super secret clubs. But nice to see I can still get made fun of for it 15 years later in my life and have someone pop into my discord and gotcha me for seeing this post.

I have a far better shitposting and degeneracy rap sheet for this to be my example of shame. I was a very dumb teenager and deserve better.

It is a slur in US English, regardless of its status in most of the anglosphere. Please do not do That One Chris Rock Bit but for the c-word.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:

i'm sorry i grievously maligned your deep cultural heritage of normalizing one slur

You know at least 16 words and one of them is "fascist," an actual epithet; I think you have the capacity to drop one whole word when posting in a globally accessible forum without losing the ability to communicate entirely.

it's an excellent gender-neutral term to address a group and im from the Carolinas so i come by it honestly

might have gone over better if the other idiot hadn't made that exact argument unironically on the last page; did you miss the "cultural fascist" post?

Paladinus posted:

That's not how it works. First of all, the Catholic teaching doesn't say that all unbaptised go to hell. Even though baptism is a requirement for salvation, people through no fault of their own may not have access to the sacrament, or simply not know of its existence, or not understand its meaning correctly to make the choice. Second, people who were offered an invalid or illicit sacrament without their knowledge obviously were in a state of invincible ignorance, which completely excuses them from all culpability. Third, there is a concept of baptism by desire, which basically means that if someone dies before they have a chance to be properly baptised, but had the intention (plus repented and exercised charity), it's still enough to be considered baptised.
