Topic	What do you think of Joe Rogan?
averagejoel 07/18/18 11:53:31 AM #78	Balrog0 posted... essentially, "probably supports stuff that would help the marginalized and working class, maybe even a lot, but doesn't hate capitalism enough to want to employ rhetoric about destroying it' I sure hope most socialists don't have that kind of praxis are you familiar with the term "critical support"? many socialists in the US voted for Clinton, and many supported Sanders before that, despite neither being a socialist. I have worked with socdems and demsocs and liberals despite our ideological differences, so don't go insulting me just because I talk about this shit online --- peanut butter and dick

I kind of suspect the people who most dislike Rogan are probably pretty far to the Left on the political spectrum. Funny cuz hes left on a lot of shit I'd say he's a centrist/libertarian probably so yeah... I mean, people that are pretty far Left can be remarkably hostile to people who are more moderately Left. Especially if those moderates ever have a conversation with people on the Right. there's a much bigger gap between far left and moderate left than there is between moderate left and far right --- peanut butter and dick

averagejoel 07/18/18 8:48:20 AM #20	Kisai posted... Re: Practice: I honestly do believe that there is a level of "talent" or whatever you wanna call it that you're either born with, or you're not. Not everyone is born with the same mind. And doing it only for yourself is fine to an extent, but it's not going to be that way forever, no matter who you are, or what you're doing. All of that said, I just might open up RMMV and fuck around in it for a bit... the people that are really good at something artistic have put in a lot of time to master it. there are 0 exceptions to this: there are no people who get really good without practice, and there are no people who practice a lot and don't get good. a good teacher can help to guide you, but ultimately the purpose of a teacher is to make themselves obsolete --- peanut butter and dick
Topic	I was just diagnosed with "high-functioning autism" by my therapist
averagejoel 07/17/18 7:53:57 PM #9	Godnorgosh posted... Thanks for making this topic. I actually wanted to start a series of support group topics for us high-functioning folks on CE, but it completely slipped my mind. This served as a helpful reminder. while imo "high-functioning autism" is generally a better term than "aspergers" (because it acknowledges that they're part of the same thing rather than two distinct things), differentiating between "high" and "low" functioning still doesn't sit right with me --- peanut butter and dick

averagejoel 07/17/18 1:47:10 PM #12	shockthemonkey posted... Zikten posted... it's cuz she is evil for some reason liberals tend to either ignore or forgive or rationalize her crimes. it's not because of her gender. quit being biased. if trump does something wrong, call him out on it. But if Hillary does a crime, you have to call her out on it too. you can't just let her get away with it just cause she is a democrat. Bernie Sanders really hates Hillary and wanted to call her out on her bullshit but he had to bite his tongue cause he's classy and he didn't want to end his career. Why do you actually believe Hillary is evil? Like specifically. this is one thing that zikten is actually correct about --- peanut butter and dick

But if you want to portray a trans person, and authenticity, acceptance, exposure, it makes a lot of sense to pick an actual trans person for the role. how does that make a lot of sense? Just because they would be trans, doesn't mean they would be good at acting, or be more believable than a regular actor with a lot of experience under their belt. don't do this. they're obviously they're not going cast a non-actor for a role in a movie. trans actors do exist. also don't try to frame it as though there are "trans" actors and "regular" actors the word you're looking for is "cis" --- peanut butter and dick

Topic	Going on a second date with an actual Native American
averagejoel 07/17/18 10:34:24 AM #32	KhanJohnny posted... Zikten posted... is she a real native or just a white person with some native blood? when I was in school I lived near a rez that shared our school district. and most of the kids from the rez looked totally white due to interbreeding. actual pure natives were rare and the majority of the kids I saw were like at LEAST 50% white but usually even more. the local tribe was very loose and lets you claim membership with only like 10% native blood. it's dumb and of course everyone wanted membership cause they had casino benefits She looks pretty native, but obviously I wouldnt be surprised if she has significant white ancestry. She almost looks like a tanned Hispanic type. But from an outsiders' view, I think should focus less on blood and more on culture. You don't want to be in a situation where natives are employing blood tests like colonizers did. the criteria actually varies a ton between different indigenous groups, and even between different reserves --- peanut butter and dick

The longer you live the more chances for your cells to split incorrectly and for that cell to split again and again....back in the day when the life expectancy was 40 or so cancer didnt exist or was exceedingly rare because we never lived long enough for it to manifest While it is true that cancer is more common now, back in the day it wasnt uncommon for people to live to be 70, a big part of the lowered average is that children were much more likely to die than today. Once you became an adult, you had a decent chance to make it to a ripe old age. also, it's an indirect result of medical advancements. not a direct one --- peanut butter and dick

Topic	Scarlett Johansson bullied out of transgender role
averagejoel 07/16/18 9:31:17 AM #51	Asherlee10 posted... Sayoria posted... The idea is that if you are going to make a movie with transgender people, why not use transgender people? Probably because there are not a lot of transgendered actors that are famous enough (A-listers) to generate the box office movement they need. Sometimes movies can get away with unknown or little-known actors, but not all that often. and part of the reason there aren't many trans A-listers is because roles like this are given to cis women instead of trans men --- peanut butter and dick

They do it because these sorts of things let them produce more food in less time/space/etc than they would otherwise. As population grows, we need more and more efficient methods of production which is why just saying something like "they didn't have it 1000 years ago we don't need it now" doesn't really work. better distribution is far more pertinent right now increased production is meaningless if it's poorly distributed (as it currently is) --- peanut butter and dick
