    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Very bad news Medium P. This sounds like it might potentially be bad. If you've taken her on vacation and she's not happy... I think you're going to have to have a realtalk with this woman. One of those meandering lets talk about feels and define our relationship kind of woman talks. Maybe...

    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    I'm starting to feel like if he doesn't then Hillary needs to take two child sex trafficking conspiracy charges to the back of the head. I really wonder though, and I'm being serious about this. If he does win, does the EU mostly implode? I think they're hanging a lot on America. They've got...

    What do you do?

    Ooooh. I understand. Yes. You're right of course. That would be a childish and silly sort of stupidity. Obviously illegal, unethical, and probably immoral to boot. @TOTALLY_NOT_CAD

    Raunchy hotel "we don't have to wash the sheets" sex. At least once. And at least a tittyfuck or two. But me, I'm a gentleman.

    Mist Mostly Mightily Blames Other People or MMMBOP for short.

    I'm pretty sure that's exactly what mist looks like. Except for the boobies. You want me and a_skeleton_02 to fight over you mist? Make you feel better? Cause i'll kick his ass. You say the word.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm not really sure that helps. It's probably better than running to your GP or the Emergency room anytime she has a concern. So, it could be worse. But I think she might be feeding an anxiety rather than relieving it, and if she's fucking stressed out... well, that doesn't help. Maybe you...

    This is something that I've never completely understood. Why is he all dressed up in crazy PPE and they have that thing out in the open air? What is it that requires that suit? I'm genuinely curious, because you see that pretty often. Guy dressed in PPE, probably to avoid contamination of...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Mmmm. I dunno why. Human sewage is treated, and they do mention "from the wastewater treatment plant". Animal manure is supposed to be treated or contained, but... well. I guess sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. If you could turn pigshit into oil then I guess that's probably a net...

    Being sweaty is a tough one. Since he doesn't smell then it's a lot less embarassing to talk about. It could be a lot worse. If he's interacting with customers... maybe just find a place to keep him extra shirts and extra undershirts in the workplace. If he sweats through he'll just sweat...

    High IQ, making friends and influencing people.

    Yeah, that's the thing. I knew a guy who was into comic books to a ridiculous Sheldon Cooper IRL level. It's kind of the lens through which he tried to talk to everyone. Nobody wants to talk about comic books, man. Well that's not entirely true. But the sort of people who do want to talk...

    Maybe if you could find a way to make board members, shareholders, and officers of a corporation directly responsible for the pensions and retirement funds that they hold it would help things too. If they want to risk bankrupting the company by embezzling out of pensions, taking loans against...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I was thinking in the first part "You're going to have to kill those cats and blame a hit and run, and then probably figure out something nice to do for her because she won't entirely believe you but she'll probably be quietly willing to forgive you". And then I got to the "he found them and...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I remember reading a fairly long discussion on reddit one time that one of the best things we could do is start to bury trees in the desert. Tongue in cheek, obviously, but they'd actually done the math behind it. It was kinda funny. It would definitely put a lot of carbon and the slow road.

    The end of Infectious Disease

    Some things you just can't cure. A lot of things you can. Some things you just can't. You need to consider that there is a limit to the physical space available in the blood. There is an actual physical limit. You need to consider that what we have named the immune system is not a...

    12: The part after the OR I'd actually be just fine with. It would be better than what we have. I do think part of the phobia about guns (not all of it, fucking obviously, but part of it) is that so many people are not exposed to them as tools. And I do think some accidental shootings (not...

    Wouldn't take hours, I don't think. Asshole to sternum you're going to hit at least one lung. And tbh they probably hit the heart as often as not. I'm sure there were impaler experts, but it's not like hammering a sharp stick up a dudes ass with enough force to puncture through his chest is...

    Poll Cures: How easy are they?

    Depends on how you define cure, I guess. I'd go with "the pathogen is no longer present within the host". That seems fairly straightforward, functional, and self-evident. That means a lot of things can be cured, and a lot of things cannot be cured. It also means that many things are not...

    Fairly open. I'd have to say i'm more tolerant than open minded. There's no shortage of dumbfucks or dumbfuck ideas in this world.

    Which is to say it's the guess of the handsomest and most popularest PhD. And when he retires or dies, it's a truth that will change. Some of us are ok with saying, "it's unknown. Probably unknowable unless we find some new archeological evidence".

    Wooly, everything you just typed... Do me a favor. Look up the definition of post scarcity. Then go consult Gibbons on if Rome was, or was not, a slave economy. And then review the multiple famines and riots caused by grain and goods shortages within the eternal city itself. And examine how...

    Poll Cures: How easy are they?

    What really surprised me when I learned it is how little we knew about human immunology pre 1980's. It really was AIDS that kicked that research into "this is critical". I had honestly just assumed that we figured all that shit out back in the 40's and 50's. But no.. a great deal of what we...

    I do think that Iraq is the last time we'll even try for another 20-25 years. It'll take people who didn't live through it to start thinking it's a good idea to try again. In a lot of ways it really was like vietnam. Obama's and Hillaries drone wars... they're not even going to pretend. That...

    I really don't know. But I do know that giving them opporunity does not garauntee results. I really don't know. Yeah, in hindsight... putting 1.7 billion somewhere else, even if you got NO RETURN, is probably wiser than spending it on Iraq. But Iraq didn't -have- to fail. It was always a...

    I reckon we'd be about the same place with fewer crippled veterans. On the whole it was Financial Sector shenannigans, overproduction of Housing, and corporate malfeasance that fucked us so hard. Iraq was, in retrospect, a completely wasteful campaign and irredeemable by almost any metric...

    Uhhh. Rome was a post scarcity environment? I genuinely question if someone making that assertion understands what the term "post scarcity" means. To the original question though: no, they are not inevitable. They only seem so because the examination itself is partial and theoretical. It...
