600 lbs is huge, but not bedridden. People can still move at that weight, with difficulty. And really, if you have the right career, you can limit your daily physical activity to an incredibly small amount.

It really depends on your levels. How do your levels at trough look? You need to be able to answer that question yourself. Do not rely on a doctor simply telling you your levels are fine. They often lie.

Would be much more terrifying if the aliens actually acted like those grey aliens from the stories.

The version of aliens I found most terrifying are those that are actually far too human. Or, they are at least willing to treat us the way we’ve treated other creatures and other humans at times.

The most terrifying aliens are those that simply, at a fundamental level, do not recognize us as people. Whatever their definition of personhood is, we’re not part of it. Our pain means nothing. Our destruction means nothing. Our suffering means nothing. They’ll perform medical experiments on or disect someone alive without anesthesia, simply because they consider us no more worthy of personhood than we would consider rocks and trees worthy of it. To them, we are only collections of atoms, and we have zero moral value or agency.

Imagine being at the mercy of a being that has access to God like technology, but simply does not believe you have any moral value. Imagine a being that would happily and calmly flay you alive and afterwards honestly believe that they have done nothing wrong.

To me, that is the scariest kind of alien. One that treats humans exactly how we often treat other creatures.

What a coincidence. I hope that JD Vance will join Jesus soon.

Animals in captivity usually don’t breed in large numbers. The animals we domesticated historically were the handful of weird species that would breed in captivity.

Humans are animals. The more and more people feel they are in captivity, the fewer children they will have.

Gait analysis.

Even most “allies” view their support more as humoring or an act of common decency than any actual endorsement of trans identities. Many folks don’t actually view you as your gender. They just either respect you enough to call you the right pronouns, or they just consider it common decency.

But when a trans person does something horrible, something truly unforgivable? Suddenly that person isn’t worthy of respect anymore, so there’s no point in humoring their identity. If you actually believe trans identities are “valid,” then you won’t misgender someone, even if they’re a childremoved serial killer. Cisgender women don’t get called men and thrown in men’s prisons if they commit acts of brutal violence. Their gender isn’t invalidated, because their identity is not conditional. Most “allies” view respect for trans identities as conditional. For some, this means that true monsters are worthy of misgendering. For others, it means any time a trans person says something mean to them they’re worthy of misgendering.

You could 3D print one of these things, custom designed by trans folks for just this purpose. I could post the STL files if someone knows a good place to easily upload and share 2 MB or so of files. This contraption won’t make the draw go any faster, but it will make it so you can set it up, walk away, and go do something else while the syringe is filling.

Good. The world needs more whimsy!

Eh that’s what she wishes on others.

Nah. Men’s prison.

Prosecute her for sex crimes and force her to serve her sentence in a men’s prison.

Nah. See what we need to do is to harness racism for world peace! Just hear me out!

OK here’s what we do. We invent, from whole cloth, an entirely new racial phenotype. Make it one that still is clearly human, but has features that no actual living human being could ever be mistaken for. We create this imaginary racial phenotype. Then we scapegoat THEM for all the world’s problems! We create AI videos showing people of this imaginary group committing crimes. We create botnets to slander the group and spread false statistics about their high levels of criminality. We create and spread elaborate conspiracy theories pinning countless historical crimes on their backs. We create a whole backstory and imaginary history from them. Their homeland will be some island continent in the South Pacific that doesn’t actually exist. But the headlines will still report on waves of boat people of this imaginary group invading the shorelines of nations the world over.

And we get everyone in on this. People of every race and nationality can vilify this group. All of humanity will be unified in our absolute revulsion for this completely imaginary racial group. If we can’t solve racism, we’ll just direct all the racism against a group that doesn’t actually exist! We’ll solve racism…with racism!

This is what happens when you want to be the Ancient Aliens guy but you suffer from male pattern baldness.

I approve of this.

We know the history of the Israeli nuclear program, where the bombs are made, and what their delivery systems are. All the surrounding countries certainly act like Israel has nukes, so their intelligence agencies clearly think they do. There have been numerous high profile leaks and mistaken admissions.

Is it possible there’s a decades-long conspiracy to fake having nuclear weapons? Sure, anything is possible. But Occam’s Razor says we should just assume they have them.

As a nation, bluffing you have nuclear weapons would be an incredibly stupid thing to do. It means your rivals will seek them out to restore balance of power. Israel has been fighting for decades to keep other Middle Eastern nations from acquiring nukes. And those nations have tried to acquire them precisely because of Israel’s nuclear arsenal. They’re trying to level the playing field. What happens if you fake having nukes, your rivals respond by getting some of their own for real, and then it’s revealed that you never had them?

Faking you have nuclear weapons is a profoundly stupid idea. The only time you want anyone thinking you have nukes is if you actually have them.
