@JakeTheScholar @DarkMatter2525 He advanced an argument. I rebutted it.

How interesting that you have trouble understanding that.
@JakeTheScholar @DarkMatter2525 Let's also note that this was one of the last things I said to Jon Matter of Chicago ("Dark Matter 2525")

It's a conclusion I came to. Jake's criticism of my actions, then, boils down to a complaint that I did not act on a conclusion before I drew it.
@JakeTheScholar @DarkMatter2525 That effect did not precede cause.

You've got a real brain trust here, Jon. 🤣
@JakeTheScholar @DarkMatter2525 But I will thank the man for this much: his childish brittleness made me see just how low my expectations had sunk. I need to start seeking better entertainment instead of cheap entertainment.

I've been filling up on junk and that's not good for me.
@JakeTheScholar @DarkMatter2525 I imagine I should have seen Jon for what he is much sooner. I'll take this as a warning sign, stop the intellectual slumming, and start improving my viewing and reading habits.

About time I did, I suppose.
@JakeTheScholar @DarkMatter2525 I live in a major city with several quite respectable university library systems, so even living below the poverty line as I do, I have no excuse to not be doing better in my choices than this.

@DarkMatter2525 Dude. Seriously?

While Jordan Peterson hardly seems to carry the kind of intellectual weight that would make defining oneself in terms of him seem at all natural, let's not pretend that there wasn't more than a faint hint of bullying in the actions of his opposition.
@DarkMatter2525 If you're going to take the position that one shouldn't be free that a boy doesn't become a girl just by putting on a dress and feeling pretty, then your entire position as a skeptic falls apart.
@DarkMatter2525 The entire misgendering "controversy" is about whether or not people should be free to acknowledge objective reality, when said reality hurts somebody's feelings.

@ladyfox14 @aelathali @LittleMissLizz "Hahahaha, girls like nerdy guys"

Not sure what you mean by "nerdy." I've seen that word used in more than one way.

"not knowing when to take no for an answer"

I can see why that would be annoying. Maybe even frightening. But then there's this ...
@ladyfox14 @aelathali @LittleMissLizz "but we've never said that we like awkward guys. Awkward usually means socially awkward"

EVERYBODY starts out socially awkward. Anybody who thinks of himself (or herself) as being an exception to this rule is lacking in self-awareness, and therefore, still awkward.
@ladyfox14 @aelathali @LittleMissLizz Like almost anything else, social skills have to be learned. If men are going to be shunned until they stop being awkward, then they're never going to stop being awkward, because they'll never have a chance to gain social experience.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel rejects President Donald Trump's call for Chicago police to use stop-and-frisk tactics chicagotribune.com/news/nationwor…

Comment: Good! Human beings should be treated like human beings.
Trump might not be a literal Nazi, but we shouldn't lose sight of the really troubling things he says and does. Like threatening to put Chicago under military occupation.

After the fact, Mr. Trump claimed that he was talking about sending in the FBI, and the mainstream media started echoing that talking point, but let's be serious.

Prior to 24 Jan 2017, who in the United States had we ever heard use the word "feds" to refer to the FBI?

Back at the Ferrous shipyard, Tash informs SIX of his options. Option #1: He jumps and hope this trajectory carries him to the other side. If he miscalculates, he'll drift wide and float off helplessly...until his oxygen runs out. Option #2: See Option #1.

#DarkMatter Virtual Season 4 - Episode 4.02, Act II
Act 1:
VFX - SPACE
The Raza drops out of FTL at a space station.
At the airlock, Lieutenant Anders is welcomed aboard.
In the mess, they discuss the op to steal the white hole bomb. It's being held in a heavily-secured facility. But there's a way in. Guards travel to and from the station via a dedicated transfer transit station. The crew of The Raza will get into that station with Anders' help.
Then he, THREE, and Wexler will transfer to the facility while TWO stays behind to guard their defenseless bodies. Once they secure the bomb, they'll steal a GA shuttle and fly it out of the facility and back to The Raza that will drop out of FTL and pick them all up. Simple!

#DarkMatter Virtual Season 4 - Episode 4.01, Act 3
Picking up where we left off, THREE and Portia trapped in Boone's vault. Without the passcode, they are screwed. But maybe not! Portia pulls out a small explosive device and informs THREE she'll simply blow the door.
#DarkMatter
THREE: That won't work.
Portia: Yes, it will.
THREE: No, it won't. All it's going to do is cause a lot of damage, to this place and us.
Portia: My nanites will heal me.
THREE: I don't have nanites.
Portia: And what's your point?
#DarkMatter
THREE appeals to Portia's pragmatic side. Let him search. Maybe he can find something to force the door that will allow them an exit without damaging any of the goods. And by goods, he means all of Boone's swag. Also, yes, select body parts. Portia tells him to start looking.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
