I'm surprised he's talked at all, he's been way too quiet
It's so disgusting, he used to be pro-palestinian as well, but I guess that was early in his career before that sweet apaic money

by contrast the number of fingers on your right hand is highly genetic, but not very heritable

Nearly everyone has the same number of fingers on their right hand as their parents though.

Downs' syndrome would be an example of a trait that's genetic but not very heritable.

SixteenShells posted:

a correlation coefficient of 1 is pretty strong correlation

the number of fingers on the right hand of a parent is very nearly independent of the number of fingers on the right hand of their child, so the correlation between those traits is close to zero

plot child fingers vs. parent fingers and you get a very nearly horizontal line for young children and a very nearly uniform scatter plot for old children. there are some heritable genetic traits that will give you an unusual number of fingers, but these are extremely rare compared to nonheritable congenital traits and, by far the biggest determinant of finger number, workplace accidents.

workplace accidents are somewhat heritable to the degree that career is heritable, but the process of workplace finger loss is nevertheless stochastic enough (and these days, rare enough) that even among parents and children who share a career, finger number is not strongly correlated

maybe this was different among past generations of extended families working together in dismal Victorian hell-mills, I don’t know. “heritable” and even “correlation” are terms subject to some word-play in different contexts, too. but heritable traits don’t necessarily imply genetic inheritance, and genetic inheritance doesn’t necessarily imply heritable traits.

Downs' syndrome would be an example of a trait that's genetic but not very heritable.

so instead I’d say it like this: practically all parents with five fingers on the right hand have kids with five fingers on the right hand. practically all parents with four fingers on the right also have kids with five fingers on the right. and practically all parents with three fingers on the right have kids with five on the right. and likewise for parents with two, one, or zero fingers on the right, they almost all have kids with five on the right. therefore parent finger number has low correlation with kid finger number. it doesn’t matter that the first category (five & five) is by far the biggest one, correlation measures the degree to which changes in one variable match with changes in another variable and these two variables don’t tend to change together

Down’s syndrome is indeed 100% genetic but not very heritable, classic example of such a thing

but really. george bush sucks and he is hellbound, but I think he does have some actual beliefs. those beliefs led to a gazillion deaths, but I think that outcome did get to him, in a way (his outburst at the end of his term, his weird paintings that revolve around cleaning himself.) and he did create PEPFAR, a program that saved 25 million african lives from AIDS, and he went to fight against it’s defunding in 2023. still a hellbound war criminal, but I think the concept of valuing the lives of those he doesn’t know isn’t completely unfamiliar to him.

I don’t think Obama has ever felt sorry for anybody other than himself, and Joe Biden probably goes to sleep with a big smile on his face thinking about all those Palestinians he gets to starve to death and blow up. truly a pair of loving monsters.

I really wanted tonight to be like a Carrie version but with poo poo as well as blood poured on Biden, him going around alone mumbling to an imaginary Hunter as he's getting ready. Hunter tells him they're all gonna laugh at you but then Joe fixes his suit and comes out and blood and poo poo gets poured on him but instead of psychokinetic powers coming out, he just keels over and everyone claps because they think it's part of the act but Clinton and Obama are in shock and are trying to run and fall down in the poop and blood
the end

oh god no, dubya loved the idea of killing people. hes just as much a stone cold psychopath as obama

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2005/12/bush-s-tookie.html

quote:

In pondering the relationship between governors and the prisoners over whom they have power of life and death, I find myself remembering the single worst thing I ever heard about President Bush. It was something Bush, then governor of Texas, said to a reporter during his first presidential campaign. The reporter in question was Tucker Carlson—hardly a hostile figure—and Carlson reported it in Talk magazine in 1999. It was about Karla Faye Tucker, a convicted murderer whose execution Bush, as governor, had refused to stay. Here is what Carlson wrote (as quoted in National Review, another source hardly known to be hostile toward Republicans):

In the week before [Karla Faye Tucker’s] execution, Bush says, Bianca Jagger and a number of other protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Tucker. “Did you meet with any of them?” I ask. Bush whips around and stares at me. “No, I didn’t meet with any of them,” he snaps, as though I’ve just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. “I didn’t meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with [Tucker], though. He asked her real difficult questions, like ‘What would you say to Governor Bush?’ ” “What was her answer?” I wonder. “Please,” Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, “don’t kill me.”

The ugliness of a sitting governor mocking a prisoner’s plea to spare her life horrified Carlson, especially after he looked up the transcript of Karla Faye Tucker’s appearance on Larry King Live and discovered that nowhere did it show the prisoner asking Bush to stay the execution. It horrified a lot of other conservative journalists, too, including George Will, Richard Brookhiser, and the editorial page of the Manchester Union Leader in New Hampshire.
