However you define yourself primarily, remember we are ALL more than the sum of our parts; simultaneously complex, multifaceted, emotional and playful but also imperfect hominids of the primate family.

@racelmeed First up, it's not just Europeans, South Americans have some pretty funny and savage chants too.

Second, if it works it works...and it seems to work, Europeans have won more world cups than the USA has qualified for.

@MittensOff Bench.

There aren't enough reform MP's to fill one, therefore a plurality of benches is not required.

@LoamAndLight @beffjezos If you read and understood the criteria you'd know you aren't even close.

I initially thought you were just a bored contrarian, I'm starting to think you may be a genuine idiot.

[Alex Usher @Alex250175]

@LoamAndLight @beffjezos I can't quite believe I'm having to explain this to a functional human being but here goes ...

A Roomba doesn't stop falling down stairs because it hurt last time it fell, a Roomba can't apply what it's "learned" to a new environment (hint: because it didn't learn, it mapped)

[Alex Usher @Alex250175]

@LoamAndLight @beffjezos "A Roomba exhibits complex behaviours" might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

Conscious behaviours are egocentric mapping, affective states as well as cognitive abilities relative to multi-sensory stimuli e.g. associative learning, attention, and memory recall.

[Alex Usher @Alex250175]

@LoamAndLight @beffjezos The demarcation for consciousness is measurable behaviours.

A minimum unit of consciousness is irrelevant, at 6 mths human babies demonstrate less conscious behaviour than dogs.

Biological substrate is all there is.

CU fails (e.g. Halting, Rice) as an introspection model.

[Alex Usher @Alex250175]

@LoamAndLight @beffjezos That's an impressive display of confidence in your ignorance.

Just throwing this out into the ether, @shailenewoodley, who should've got more work after the Divergent series, is absolutely fucking amazing in @paradiseonhulu....brief but impactful.

Respect where it's due.

Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

Absolutely astounding work!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @MonkEmma

Should be shared widely imho.

Did you see all the “Countryside is too white”, “countryside is racist” hoo ha last week?

If you were anywhere near RW media or this site, you can’t have missed it!

Want to know where it all came from? Why there were over 30 “news” pieces about it in just 4 days?

Let’s take a look!👀

@GreaterSapien @RepJackKimble As republicans are more likely to be antivaxxers, I'd prefer it if Jack kept his distance from me if he had a communicable disease.

@AlisonFrankel if Trump wins 10bn for himself, does that set a precedent for the other 43,999 people and if so, what does 440,000 billion deficit do to the US economy?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

GALLEGO: Let's say Trump wins that lawsuit. Where would that $10 billion come from?

BESSENT: It would come from Treasury

GALLEGO: So, taxpayers?

BESSENT: Yes. Part of the 44,000 whose returns were leaked

GALLEGO: They're not suing

@atrupar GWB looks like a generational intellect compared to DJT.

@kazetherapper @EssexPR @NimFTW Specifically breaching the terms and conditions of use which is precisely the point, it's not about banning the technology, it's about holding platforms responsible for how they deal with bad faith users by ensuring their accounts are closed or restricted.

@ReemAmirIbrahim Why not both?
