What next? Sex tax? The government is focusing on and implementing useless laws and whatnot. Aside from the people involved in the act, nobody can really know if someone said yes every 10 minutes. What happens if she doesn't and we hit the 11th minute mark? That means that she is being raped?  Roll Eyes....

...explicit sexism is bolded.
How is that sexism? It is just an example.

I should have been clearer.  The explicit sexism in not in Lauda's remarks but in the entire thrust of the regulatory documents promulgating this set of policies.  It's anti-male, and explicitly so.


not just anti male, its more or less anti-anyone that disagrees with radical feminism. this would include females that arent radically anti-male or whatever these people are. lunatics.

A large cluster of objects in space look like something you would "expect an alien civilization to build", astronomers have said.  

Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, is set to publish a report on the “bizarre” star system suggesting the objects could be a “swarm of megastructures”, according to a new report.

I was fascinated by how crazy it looked,” Wright told The Atlantic. “Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build.”  

 Shocked Shocked Shocked

In the near future, they also want to try and point a radio dish in the direction of the star and see if they can detect any radio frequencies that a typical advanced civilization might use.  This could be absolutely nuts if they can somehow confirm this.

This would be like a dream coming true. Imagine what this could mean if we would finally being able to prove not being the only planet with intelligent life in space.
This could be the beginning of a new era.
unfortunately, the uneducated and ignorant masses fear what they dont know, and would rather pour money into pointless wars and the pockets of lying politicians over the space program or beneficial government programs (social security).

given the backwards trend of society i dont expect much progress to be made on the space front until aliens contact us first.

In India, all girls need to get a license to own guns to protect themselves. Men here are getting cruel day by day.  Lips sealed
everyone, male and female, should need a license, as well as a background check and a mental health assessment before being allowed to purchase a firearm for whatever means.

The state should stay out of peoples' personal lives and especially their sex life. It seems to me that in certain countries (especially in the United States, Canada.etc), the government want their citizens to live under 24*7 observation, with a required amount of political correctness and brainwashing media poison injected to their brains every day at short intervals.
this is the social justice warrior cancer spreading into our daily lives now, these people feel the need to control everything to make the ridiculous world theyve though up for themselves into a reality. the fact that these lunatics have any sort of influence on our society is a damn shame, even more so that going against these people will label you as a "woman hater, racist, sexist, etc" since the moral position they take on these issues gives them an advantage.

I'm not so sure.

This is more or less a test case for the use of fear, power and coercion to control a population.  It's the very outrageousness of the issue that makes it a good test case.

Will the average people will stand up and fight the crazy, or submit to the oppression.  

Are you going to wait for someone elected to fix things?

What's wrong with good old peaceful civil disobedience?


true, but i think its gone beyond a simple case if people's lives are being destroyed by these lunatics simply for disagreeing with whatever ideologies theyre trying to shove down people's throats at the time. there are people that have been fired from their jobs, or are even facing jail time as a consequence of these lunatics' pursuits in creating this fantasy world where everyone is 100% nice to each other 100% of the time. and i dont think the silent majority will stand up to the loud minority until the issue becomes big enough that the lives are the majority are directly affected. hopefully, its getting close to that point of  action, especially if these radicals are being allowed audiences in the UN.

Most likely submit. The average people have become very passive when it comes to this and deluded due to their media sources.
i think part of the issue is that the media has to placate the wants of the loud minority for PR reasons.

How is this ok glad I live in the uk.

It's not, and this is coming from a female perspective.
its not a matter of being male or female, its a matter of being sane. if you ask me, these sjw figureheads are actually crazy. these people have it in their head that this world of "political correctness" is the only world that's fair, and that if you do or say anything that goes against that fairness or can be perceived as slightly misogynistic, there should be drastic negative consequences to people's lives.

Clinton 2016? Conspiracy Shocker! Must See Documentary!

Quote
Published on Apr 19, 2015

Absolutely shocking suppressed documentary about the full blown drug smuggling, money laundering, womanizing, murder, political favors, killing anybody who talked; both Clintons crime syndicate, including the murder of children! Some of this I read about in Cathy O'brian's "Trance-Formation of America", but this documentary takes the revelation on the Clintons to a whole new level. I simply cannot believe it! Full drugs and murder of anyone who spoke out!
even if im not a clinton supporter, that snippet just reeks of bullshit to me.

Great news! more adopter coming.
this is already implement on their site? i can't see "bitcoin accept here" on the site.
also they have a methods to earn money, this is great if it can WD with bitcoin.
as good a thing it is that more  people/companies are adopting bitcoin, the g2a organization itself is pretty shady in how they make money. that aside, the company is close to being bankrupt i hear, theyre a few months behind on their sponsorship/advertising payments to the cloud 9 organization and others. the bitcoin integration was likely an effort to draw in some traffic.

WARNING: This user is a newbie.

This makes it EXTREMELY hard for new users to get started up.
It makes every newbie look like a scammer.
this is a bitcoin forum, not a marketplace forum. the warning isnt that intrusive, and well justified imo.

How can anyone have a real idea of what an alien would build or what it would look like? A simple look around this planet tells us architecture can be hard to second-guess.
well in terms of the supposed dyson sphere, theres really only 1 efficient and sensible way to go about it; youre pretty much housing a star to utilize its resources, and theres only so many engineering approaches that make sense in implementing something like that. example, youre not going to build  a triangular prism around a star, it only makes sense that a spherical-shaped structure would be used.

just judging from 1 article: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/forget-water-on-mars-astronomers-may-have-just-found-giant-alien-megastructures-orbiting-a-star-near-a6693886.html

it seems the discovery is based off of unnatural, ie man/alien made patterns.

Hugroll is right, one reminder attached to first message is enough. But if every next message looks like this, you really appear like a scammer to other members.

Get over it bro, it only takes a month to reach jr. member so if you want to remove that warning message, wait until you turn jr.

Chill. If you followed the topic you know I have been here for 2 years. So how does it work? You are tuning into Jr with a time or with an activity where you are actually logged in?

The quickest way I see it is to pass some certain amount of comments/posts.
why is this such a big deal to you?

Thank you for correcting my mistake ..
Should be ok now ...
Is there any open slot Huh let me know i am interested in it
asking like this is against tos of bitcointalk.org ..i think ...??

secondstrades' lack of standards in managing their campaign doesnt apply everywhere else, especially not here.

Yes, they are getting ready to have everyone fooled into believing there's alien life out there, and we're insignificant specs of dust in the infinite galaxy, lol.

mmm i must disagree, talking about numbers, if we really think that the universe is infinite, then there is infinite possibilities that there is "aliens" out there Smiley and the maths will never lie Tongue
except the universe is finite. that aside, as large as the universe is, the possibility of extraterrestrial life is there; we as humans havent even extensively searched or even been to another galaxy yet, much less another solar system. i for one think there's alien life out there.
956  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why China Should Not Fear the Resurgence of Japanese Militarism? on: October 16, 2015, 12:37:20 PM
real citizens do not fear their country/government no matter dictatorship there or not.
that's called patriotism, taken to an extreme level. governments these days do top-secret shady stuff, and people are silenced to keep those secrets hidden away. in this day and age where governments are controlled by inner circles and higher ups, even in the usa for example, its hard to remain patriotic or loyal to a governing body.

china also has all the facilities for manufacturing war goods, even the idea that china might fear a war with japan is ridiculous. if something like that were to break out, china could squash japan in a matter of days; the only fear would be the rest of the world stepping in.
mainland china only fears own citizens
isnt it the other way around? citizens fearing their country/government?

Smiley. Back in 1894 during the first Sino-Japanese war the world thought the very same, but bureaucracy and corruption plagued the Chinese side so much what made the whole campaign a cakewalk for the numerically and technologically inferior but more organized and determined Japanese forces.
thanks.

Nitrogen is possible for your preference, however grading in e-sports in that site takes hours.
i checked out fairlay a (long) while ago, they actually have an eta on when betslips will get graded, might be worth checking out. supposedly they have better odds too (when compared to nitrogen).

Putting an ETA in grading e-sports is helpful, but I am still curious if some graders there are willing to grade e-sport bets *almost* instantly or minutes.
im going to say no, results need to be verified from multiple sources, and there are other events that need to be graded. nothing can have immediate priority over everything else.

Got the refund, with he dissapear yesterday, seems like hes unverified account wasn-t able to use the $ so he refunded, or i dont know. Is not fair.
given that, the possibility that he refunded you only so he could get the -ve rating removed and try to scam again for bitcoin or paypal after verifying that account should be considered. the red trust shouldnt be removed imo, even with the refund.

I am still waiting for my refund from this OP and since i have already had direct transactions with him i can clearly call him a scammer deal with him with cautions.
hes logged on to the vortex account but hasnt bothered to address both this issue and his other paypal/alt account issue, safe to say that op's abandoned the forum you wont be getting anything back. most likely, he'll try to buy an account and establish a 'new' identity on the forum.

Dyson Spere can be created by level 2 civilization and above. And that we see today happen 1500 years ago. Humans civilization is only level 0.1 - 0.2 .  We will be in trouble if they know we are here.

What do you mean "level 2" .. how would you go about grading the progress of a civilization, if we ourselves don't know how far we can come along as man?

Sorry for my mistake, humans currently at 0.74 level. It would takes 100 to 200 years to reach Level 1.

Type I

    "Technological level close to the level presently attained on earth, with energy consumption at ≈4×1019 erg/sec (4 × 1012 watts)."[1] Guillermo A. Lemarchand stated this as "A level near contemporary terrestrial civilization with an energy capability equivalent to the solar insolation on Earth, between 1016 and 1017 watts."[3]

Type II

    "A civilization capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star (for example, the stage of successful construction of a Dyson sphere), "with energy consumption at ≈4×1033 erg/sec."[1] Lemarchand stated this as "A civilization capable of utilizing and channeling the entire radiation output of its star. The energy utilization would then be comparable to the luminosity of our Sun, about 4×1033 erg/sec (4×1026 watts)."[3]

Type III

    "A civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy, with energy consumption at ≈4×1044 erg/sec."[1] Lemarchand stated this as "A civilization with access to the power comparable to the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy, about 4×1044 erg/sec (4×1037 watts)."[3]


Type IV

   Beings who can control or use the entire universe.


Type V

who control collections of universes. The power output of the visible universe is within a few orders of magnitude of 1045 W. Such a civilization approaches or surpasses the limits of speculation based on current scientific understanding, and may not be possible.

    Zoltán Galántai has argued that such a civilization could not be detected, as its activities would be indistinguishable from the workings of nature (there being nothing to compare them to).[23]


I don't believe a Dyson sphere is capable of being built and maintained, physically.

Interesting concepts though.
not yet to out extent of knowledge at least. given a few hundred years into the future, im all for the possibilities of having something like this exist. now if the megastructure nasa found was indeed a dyson sphere the possibility of a type 3 civilization somewhere doesnt seem all too impossiible.
