Nuebot posted:I've been seeing the whole "Sexbots! And then feminists will go away!" thing a lot lately. Not only is it a weird leap of logic that makes no sense, but isn't it far more likely that someone would shut advanced AI down for ethical reasons long before they even made a sexbot? I'm sure feminists everywhere would be relieved when creepers stay in their basements constantly loving a robot instead of harassing women on the street/internet.

goose fleet posted:Come to think of it, what happens if something happens to a sitting president between the nomination season and the next inauguration? Like, does the vice president become president, but they just kind of sit around and do nothing but awkwardly pose for photos because they don't have any time to do anything and it's too late for them to campaign for an actual term? If they serve one day as president they are only eligible for one more term and I think if its >2yrs into a term its not worth wanting to run again because you can't do the full 8. So I think the answer to your question is yes.

But what if it happens after the party already nominated someone else? Or, worse, if the next president already won the election?

I love the idea that politically educated feminists would be completely neutered without access to dicks. That's been feminists MO from the get-go, huh? World dominance, but also access to weiners? Man, if only we'd offered them cocks and mustache-twiddling evil villain levels of world domination instead of the vote, ha-ha!

So now you know the truth. The real reason feminism is pushing to open up STEM fields to women is just so we can make sure we get our own robot hasubandos when the inevitable sexbot rising replaces all intimate human interaction and everyone's perfectly fine with it because that's how emotions work.

I knew a guy (friend of a friend), a medical student no less, who subsisted entirely on ramen for a period of months until he started getting fevers and other nasty symptoms. His doctor concluded that, as he ate literally nothing but instant ramen, his symptoms were consistent with those of scurvy. From that point on his diet was instant ramen and Sunny D.

 The Article posted:Coal companies have every incentive to publicize a "war on coal" as the source of their woes. It diverts anger toward Barack Obama and perpetuates the illusion that a Republican president might revive coal's fortunes.

I heard of this expect it was multiple people in college [No specific names come to mind however] suffering from this because they couldn't afford to have a better diet.

Well, if you want the Special wax and the Vitamin C at the same time, you should probably go for fruit snacks. How much of political discourse in the US, do you think, can be reduced to "Didn't even have to read it. One word, Obama"?

PUGGERNAUT posted:Snopes has a few documented cases of this actually happening: http://www.snopes.com/college/horrors/scurvy.asp quote:Surprisingly, a version one would expect to see does not surface: the fad diet. Search as we might, we've yet to encounter a telling in which a foolhardy diet regimen adopted by someone looking to drop pounds in a hurry causes him to develop scurvy. Given the proliferation of exotic weight loss schemes and the importance society places on thinness, this lack comes as a bit of a shock. Do we therefore perceive weight conscious students as being more nutritionally knowledgeable or common-sensical than their impoverished or immature counterparts? This was an episode on House! But seriously, I'm sure more than a few people have developed it, especially college students for obvious reasons (lack of money, lack of knowledge in nutrition and cooking, and so forth). Being a med student doesn't exempt you.

It wasn't scurvy, but an old housemate of mine once made himself very ill by eating nothing but bacon, sausages and Pepsi for about six months. He didn't get visibly fatter, he just got redder and redder every time I saw him until eventually his family staged an intervention to get him to eat a vegetable. Don't underestimate the ability of stubborn manchildren to eat themselves into hospital.
