@RoyalJohnny242 Yes, porn as a industry is awful

That doesn't mean you get to cope by picking and choosing what's Free Speech or not

@graf @Shizu Literally "typing words isn't speech" kind of retarded logic

@graf @Shizu Free Speech as a concept includes expression. Don't act retarded

@graf @Nocturn_Adrift How is demanding people be tried for their crimes and punished accordingly "threatening violence"? If this was anyone but a public official, you wouldn't call it that

@graf Thinking politicians are capable of crimes is a legitimate opinion you're allowed to have

Thinking that people should be punished for their crimes is a legitimate opinion you're allowed to have

Thinking the death penalty is a valid punishment is a legitimate opinion you're allowed to have

Put these together and you somehow have an illegitimate and dangerous opinion you're NOT allowed to have or express, somehow

@Wardyn@youjo.love @nate_river It's not abnormal for kids to try and eat glue or drain cleaner unless you physically stop them. This is a retarded argument and you know it

@roobre @lanodan It alone is even sometimes a syntax people use

while(callMeTenTimesAndIReturnFalse());

@thor @roobre @lanodan It's still different in that the compiler doesn't make a new stack-frame for them, the scope at that level is just a compiler concept

@LukeAlmighty To be fair, he's not really making his point very well, I don't fully get all of it either

@LukeAlmighty He's saying it does and should. "It's biased but that's good because it's purely a useful pragmatic measure to get scientists and doctors, and so it should bias for whatever selects for that"

And he does kinda voice this blank slate idea
"We live twice as long as people in some of the poorer parts of the world, not because we are more deserving, individually smarter or otherwise more meritorious, but simply because we had the dumb luck to be born into a culture which produces cures and inventions"

And talks about "people with as fully functioning brains as PAsteur or Salk" but were retarded by their culture

@LukeAlmighty Ye, I watched the video

Pregnant woman wasn't about culture, he was pilpuling the definition

"If a smart baby gets brain damage, is it a dumb or smart baby?"

Twin studies give .85 of what's measurable. Considering IQ tests can't measure pure general intelligence 100%, you're looking at at least 90%+ genetic

It's just a fake and gay assumption that your culture does make it go lower

I remember a South American study, even controlling for physical traits or location, the only real predictor was racial admixture. Other shit like SNP studies give the same thing basically
