Well, any self respecting person would consult google, see that is the current scientific consensus, and would be correct.This is because there are two sides to the coin; genetic determinism and hereditability.The simple explanation is that genetic determinism has incredibly low variance while hereditability has extremely large varianceHereditability isn’t related to genetics s

I never claimed that the left wing would be agnostic on it. That’s what Jalfrezi claimed. I thought the left wing would broadly claim what you are saying.

Apparently Jalfrezi is agnostic on this issue as well so you can take it up with him about the scientific consensus.

The glowies aren’t even trying anymore

when you lost checkrais smh


I just looked up glowie and, uh, okay

two posts in a row with "uh"

I’m actually really open to conspiracies, and this Trump admin is full of people who have actually attempted vast conspiracies before.

I have never, ever, not even once heard someone use “anti-ice” as a self-identification. why wouldn’t they use the much more popular “abolish ice”?

but again priors so low on it I’m not saying it’s true but goddamn two recently centrist shooters in a row go crazy and randomly attack people at just the right time for Trump to seize power? weird stuff

it just means three later agency people.


The etymology is dubious at best

I was making a joke about how inappropriate the original post in the Charlie Kirk thread was so I think we are on the same page

I gotta admit, a joke like this is HI-larious

I had no idea what the etymology was tbh


Left or right, there is absolutely zero chance the shooter wrote “anti-ice” on that shell casing.

probably got the same guys who did the fake Hamas phone call

I vote for leaving. But not because they turned off the escalator on Trump. Because it is a complete mockery of what it was supposed to be.


It does seem completely useless

What it was supposed to be is a way of maintaining diplomatic ties between nations that existentially hate each other and want to wipe each other out. It’s not meant to solve all the world’s problems.

Some countries with a reported positive Flynn effect are Kenya, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Some countries with a reported negative Flynn effect are France, Austria, Germany, Britain, Netherlands, Finland and the United States.

The Flynn effect isn't necessarily about people becoming inherently more intelligent but rather a result of societal and environmental factors that improve performance on tests. Possible causes include

countries with improved standard of living increasing? NO WAY!

There are isolated groups of people currently living with less genetic similarity's then we have to Neanderthals

Well, I think we can trim the fat a little bit, such as getting rid of Human Rights Commissions whose members are a who who list of the worlds worst human rights abusers, who as a group are completely indifferent to human rights abuses anywhere in the world but Israel.

You can tell he immediately regretted saying that.


Pretty sure Watters gets a 100,000$ raise every time he says something like that

I do have this but on further review it seems I would be banned for posting scientific data . Even tho the mods keep saying leave this to the geneticists I cant risk it!


Europeans and Neanderthal have a 0.08 - 0.12 nucleotide difference
Europeans and Khoisan's isolated members of haplogroup 0 0.11-0.13 nucleotide difference

This does not mean they are not the same species tho. what this actually means is Neanderthal should be classified as homosapeins and science is waking up to that

Feel free to send me whatever you have in PM but unless I'm misreading your statement I don't think its actually true


its really just comes down to how we have chosen to classifie it and that makes perfect sense considering the nature of the conversation. We don't give the genetic diversity the same scrutiny we do for animals. for example a brown bear and a polar bear are so genetically similar one wonders why they are considered a different species. One line of thought is if they can breed they are the same species and they fall in that categorie among other reasons they should be the same species. We recently found this out because of polar bear migration and I think if they were to be classified today they would be put in the same. homosapiens has split and interbreeded with so many different "species" its fascinating and some have happened to split off before we started interbreeding with some of them meaning they missed out on that genetic diversity making them slightly different (but definitely not a different species) and most of them have interbreed since and gained it anyway. except some very isolated populations


My vote is for not bombing a building in NYC.

Anyway, the current news is that the elevator stopped because a White a House photographer tripped a security mechanism at the top of the escalator, and the WB team was also in charge of the teleprompter.

Just being able to interbreed isn't usually considered enough-- their offspring also have to be successful.
