Maybe it’s the low rez picture, but since I have no idea who Bella Hadid is—I don’t know which one’s the robot!
It would be hilarious if Calvin Klein revealed that the robot was too much trouble so they just hired another model to kiss her—and said it was a robot. 😂
So, WHY do you all think there was a BACKLASH?
I expected it to be about the feminist “robots are anti-women!” trope.

But it’s actually because the real woman kissing the robot is heterosexual.

Heterosexual women shouldn’t kiss robots that look like women! Only lesbians may kiss genderless plastic things!

I think there’s conceptual confusion here too, @ConceptualJames. I agree with sentences 2-4, but sentence 1 seems to conflate actuality with existence, but isn’t right. It’s the error of the Megarians, and has all the absurd consequences Aristotle shows of denying potentiality.
@ConceptualJames If the primary pro-choice argument can be made out cogently (I don’t think it can), wouldn’t the living human being that isn’t yet a person be precisely a “potential person”?

I don’t think it is, but the concept doesn’t seem incoherent.
@ConceptualJames Couldn’t a human sperm and ovum taken together be regarded as a “potential person” (assuming a conceptus is an actual person)?

If a conceptus is an actual person, and becomes so at the moment of fertilization, isn’t there *something* that pre-exists it that has the potentiality?

A very important point.
A corollary is that “evil”—and who uses that old-fashioned term anymore, anyway? We’re so smart we know that there is no evil, only the “problematic” and the “not OK”—evil exists not in PERSONS or ACTIONS but IN THE SYSTEM.

It’s just in the air, somehow, somewhere.
Sargon was pointing out yesterdays that when gangs of Muslims attack people, the British media (and the US media does this to) reports that “violence broke out” or “flared up.”

Political violence is like WEATHER.

No one is RESPONSIBLE for it.

Today I woke up thinking about why the Left regards “cultural appropriation” as a kind of SIN.

It would be easy to make the case that a rigid monoculture isn’t optimal. That would be something stable but stagnant. We like stability but not stagnation.
The left HATES “cultural appropriation” because an “APPROPRIATION CULTURE” is the HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE to Leftist “multiculturalism.”

It is actually the optimal situation, and the Left requires a constant stake of societal sickness, being a purely a negative or anti- phenomenon.
The Greeks were an APPROPRIATION CULTURE. While remaining thoroughly Greek, they grabbed everything that wasn’t nailed down: sculpture from Egypt, the alphabet from the Phoenicians, astronomy from the Babylonians … and IMPROVED them all.

ONE DAY after we attended Sydney’s burial, a 2nd Stoneman Douglas survivor has taken his life.

School Board, it’s time to provide the help and services you’ve neglected to provide FOR A YEAR!

It makes me angry how incredibly preventable this was.
Why hasn’t Stoneman Douglas has a single suicide prevention presentation for all students and teachers affected?

That absolutely insane after a mass shooting.
It’s not as if they didn’t know. Parents, students, and teachers have ALL complained about the inadequacy of the counseling that’s been provided.

What will it take to make Superintendent @RobertwRuncie give appropriate attention to this?

Much of the low-carbohydrate diet movement is fraud. A thread. 1/n
The purpose of this thread is not to show that low-carbohydrate diets do not work. Low-carbohydrate diets do work for many people. 2/n
The anti-inflammatory properties of the ketogenic diet are interesting and potentially important, as are the brain effects. We need more research on these, and we should use ketogenic diets when they can be useful. 3/n

Much shorter THREAD (I promise!): Freedom of movement. A few people have mentioned this - and they have a point. To my mind, the end of freedom of movement is far and away the worst thing about Brexit. It's not a 'WIN' - it's a massive loss.
1) There's something extremely strange about how the UK's treated freedom of movement. In many EU states, after 90 days in the country, visitors have to register, and need ID cards to pay tax, start a business, claim benefits, access healthcare.
2) Yet when UK discussed ID cards during Blair government, it was part of the whole 90 days detention for suspected terrorists thing. New Labour was, at times, remarkably authoritarian - and the proposal failed because of fears over government having access to private information

OK gonna listen to all of these, unless they're records I listen to a lot any way. spin.com/2015/05/the-30…
** NEW THREAD **
206. SISTER - Sonic Youth.
Surprised to see this on the list as folks usually go for the records either side which are either more raw in sound or more ambitious in scope (about which, more much later). Had to listen to again to confirm that yes, it's great.
205. THE INFAMOUS - Mobb Deep.
Still listen to this all the time. Also a fan of the confusingly titled 'The Infamous Mobb Deep'. The week Prodigy died there was a mural up in Chaffers Park. He also signed a photo for Five Boroughs but that's beside the point.

@Stupidosaur
One important thing about Aadhaar or any centralized system,particularly connected to money, which I have not said so far, is how it completely destroys any security by obscurity which we have enjoyed so far. Take the example of mobile OTP.
Aadhaar uses SMS One Time Password (OTP) to secure Aadhaar transactions. But we have seen how process to update mobile for Aadhaar itself is hopeless destroy-the-aadhaar.blogspot.in/2017/12/regist…
It is hopeless in terms of security as well as frustrations experienced by the user. Some of the security risks can be fixed if UIDAI is more transparent about the process, as we have seen in that article. Some frustrations also may reduced if Aadhaar centres more nearby. But...
