Please let there be karmic balance, and let them both be disinfo agents from a troll farm, please God

For the ladies, its just a regular sink and you sit backwards into it

They don’t, it’s for track driving and racing as a hobby

Okay, I hope you go forth and research these ideas

The post is starting out with the wrong assumptions so naturally it’s conclusions are wrong, top tier shitpost.

In the old days we’d use this kind of pseudoscience for mischief (you know, trolling), now it’s disinformation spread by useful idiots to upend their democracies.

Er, that’s what I am saying however is that you can observe and measure consciousness.

You seem to have a very exclusive definition of consciousness, which only serves to avoid the argument, really.

I don’t, I am just going based on current findings.

I am not sure why it’s hard to accept that some living things may not be conscious. Viruses propagate “mindlessly”, they’re neither living nor conscious.

I also don’t understand why you think emergent properties are a hypothesis. Emergent properties of biological processes are fact, look at any cell of any major organ in the body. Why do we treat the brain differently? Because I think we get irrational.

What you and other people who’re objecting to my comment are saying is that there is no way to define consciousness because we don’t know all the different ways something can be conscious. But that doesn’t matter because these organisms lack the properties which we see in other conscious organisms, ie proprieties we do know about

Here’s what I am saying: consciousness is an emergent property of some discrete biological processes, and we have developed some idea of what consciousness looks like when exhibited by an organism.

So that means that all organisms which are conscious have to exhibit the same properties. You cannot pick and choose which properties to exhibit because then what you’re doing is something else, and not exhibiting consciousness.

Like, if you’re a heart of some sort, you have to exhibit the same activity as a heart in general across all different organisms to be classified as a heart.

It’s possible that same organisms exhibit some parts of consciousness as we have noticed till now, but if those organisms do not exhibit all parts of consciousness then they’re not conscious.

We don’t know how consciousness works enough to say they don’t. Having a brain and/or nervous system might not be necessary.

Hmm sorry but no, there are traits exhibited by conscious entities which we don’t observe in those which lack consciousness. This is a nice explainer on consciousness, note that it’s not saying anything about needing a brain to exhibit those traits

correct me if I am misremembering sth

Eh someone who gives their SO hell for not sticking to their diet is not necessarily “Karen”, it’s unnecessary to frame it this way

He’s cheating on his diet, as others mentioned. I feel like you should be able to just talk to your wife about going off diet once in a while…

There are pressure and temperature regulators you’re supposed to attach with them so that you can have control over both

Edit in case you’re interested, it’s called a bidet mixing valve, and you can control temp and pressure with a single accessory which you attach to your existing plumbing. The controls for the adjustments are kept outside of the wall and look like any regular shower control for temp. They sell them in any number of stylings and finishes

Yeah, where my empiricists at? All my homies hate idealism

I feel like HOV lanes are more trouble than they’re worth because they disrupt traffic flow since people need to slow down when the HOV drivers enter/exit

That’s fair, people have different perceptions of food stuffs. Like some people hate coriander because to them it tastes like soap

This person says it does taste good though https://kitchensurfers.com/is-civet-coffee-good/

Business idea: lab grow the gut microbes of these monkeys and create more efficient pipeline for fermenting these coffee beans. But provide the “natural” offering too for people who have eating ass food fetish.

Anyone saying they’re fiscally conservative without asking for higher tax rate on the uber wealthy and having corporations pay their fair share is a goddamn filthy hypocrite

Eh, this is how I shitpost. It’s not that serious a post tbh 🤷‍♀️

Maybe, but strength isn’t the only biologically-driven determinant factor which helps with attaining power. See Cleopatra and Caesar.

Feminism is about allowing equal access to choices for all, including men, doesn’t matter who you are.

If you’re a post-menopausal woman and all you want to do is rear grandkids that’s just as valid a choice as a post-menopausal woman deciding she wants to run for public office. Depends on who you are, and what you want to do.

If you’re talking about constructing social hierarchies based on biology, then only women should be in power because the future can only come from them, ie kids. Sperm is cheap and available in vast quantities, eggs are a precious commodity.

So please no, egalitarian frameworks, ie not discriminating based on sex or gender, are the only social frameworks which ensure optimal self-actualization for current and future community members
