@joker6_jk1@slatestarcodex We could debate the plausibility of the tradition but Scott affirms it here so that's what I'm using.
And most people back then did most jobs to avoid starvation so the prostitutes don't get an out on that.
@roddreher You don't think that the story of a man in the middle of an on going attack taking the time out to roast 3 babies is likely to be a total lie?
I mean you did investigate this all didn't you Rod
Checked and cross referenced all the sources.
Didn't you?
@HonTonyAbbott So what's the plan? In the event of Beijing absorbing Taipei, throw Australia into a war ?
If the USA is basing out of Australia it becomes a belligerent if they move against China.
How did the Vietnam war work out for Australia?
@MsMelChen Yao Ming is a very tall basketball champion whose mother was a very tall basketball champion and whose father was ....wait for it.... a very tall basketball champion.
They met in sports college on government scholarships.
A eugenics program in all but name.
@SpacemanAp Kinda obvious that the answer to why no intelligence is coming from Nigeria is NOT going to be that there's a super intelligence operating in Nigeria
@CovfefeAnon Disagree. Scott has a much wider range than Yud. I think his on the ground experience with psychiatry gives him a considerable edge. They're both major bloggers but has Yud ever had a regular job type job that wasn't theorizing in some odd ball foundation?
Attacking China with AI to show China that AI is dangerous is an insane idea.
It's like burning down houses to encourage reforms in the Fire Department, or burglarizing houses to encourage a neighborhood watch.
Insane, terroristic and evil.
@TheZeitgeistNZ Yes, but an alliance for WHAT?
Civilizational Greatness is just a vague phrase. It needs a solid project to get behind.
How about this, a join Royal Navy.
All CANZUK countries contribute and all come under an expanded Trident Nuclear umbrella.
@dbreen_@FistedFoucault Cute, but yeah highly political. Johan was Prime Minister (sort of) and Cornelius was up on charges of treason.
Still the mob did eat their livers which is exactly what you should eat.
Highly nutritious and full of vitamins and minerals.
@dbreen_@FistedFoucault Excuse the pedantry, but "Partially ate" and also his brother Cornelius.
Don't make a ghastly act of political lynching and desecration up into a manifestation of Dutch cannibalism.
@FortressLugh "Britons and Irish even abandoned archery altogether by the Late Bronze Age"
I seriously doubt that's true. There were all sorts of different funny and funky bows, shafts and arrow heads for hunting different game in different conditions.
@adambencloutier@BiggeeSmols Or alternatively the CCRU has always existed and will always exist. It's a tachyon waveform being projected from the attractor and the end of time.
Warrick University was just one point that had the techno-psyche to start assembling it
@isaacstonefish Nobody wants Taiwan to have autonomy over their future, not Beijing and not Washington either.
A truly autonomous nation could do whatever they liked. they could even make alliances with Russia or N-Korea and build nuclear weapons.
@ThomBrady5 Crazy talk.
Why would China agree to let Iran fall, and fall to America at that?
What advantage is it to China and what could America have promised to make such an agreement possible?
@Noahpinion But Taiwan must never have nuclear weapons obviously.
The CIA subverted and destroyed Taiwan's covert nuclear weapons program in the 1970s.
Look it up.
An independent Taiwan is intolerable to Washington.
A dependent Taiwan is essential.
