ICBM and nuclear weapons are a thing of the past.


When you can just drop tungsten rods from space...

The rings look like welds. Any chance the school has a mechanical/wedding class?

Could be like a practice block to get those perfect dimes welds.

I was listening to NPR today on t he ride home. They interrupted the normal BBC world series with this dude's testimony.

I find it hard to believe that a football player drinking beer didn't have any sexual contact with anyone until many years after highschool.

Dude lied under oath, and knows that because it's hard to disprove his statement. Of course, once you consider sword testimony as evidence, it's pretty obvious he's a lying douchebag.

This forum really needs some sort of dMerit or "idiot" button. This way, we can tag idiots effectively, so the general public doesn't actually think they represent this community.

So many retards here. I need like a super downvote button.

Negative merit perhaps? P:

Uhhhh...

The Steel Dossier highlights corruption between Trump and Putin. It doesn't really mention Clinton at all.
If you're interested in the actual hacking attempt of the DNC, you should read this indictment of the Russian hackers:

https://www.justice.gov/file/1080281/download

Of course, you're probably too retarded to understand what "spearphishing" actually means, so the indictment will fly way over your head. Probably best to stick to the news briefings for an idiot such as yourself.

Nah, it was the straight up laugh directly at him:

Diplomats Say They Were Definitely Laughing At Trump At The UN
Trump, however, insisted later in the day that they weren't laughing at him, saying, "People had a good time with me. We were doing it together, we had a good time."

Fuck off. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/apt28-uses-lojax-first-uefi-rootkit-seen-in-the-wild/

There's tens of thousands of sources that show that this is reality.

There's a dozen sources from literally Russia denying and purposely trying to manipulate the narrative.

It's pretty fucking obvious in the shift of the Internet from pre-2010 to now.

Parents making their kids fat is abuse. End of story.

People being fat is personal choice and will power more than genetics. Fat people have the choice to be fat. No one's born fat. It's something that's learned.

You're mentally challenged. Wikipedia lists its sources at the bottom of the goddamned page.

Wikipedia also isn't a centralized or bias entity.  It literally exists to spread information that is sourced. But if you don't trust research, you can fuck right off from using a computer.

This article presents a synthesis of arguments disputing the existence of racialethnic
differences in mental ability, and it challenges the classicist model of “intelligence”
on which hereditarian assumptions of racial disparity are based. A
review of the literature reveals the following eight major premises held by supporters
of this perspective: (a) intelligence is unidimensional and can be represented
by a single factor, g; (b) intelligence is fixed within individuals and across
generations; (c) IQ tests accurately measure this fixed ability; (d) IQ tests are
equally valid across racial, ethnic, and cultural groups; (e) intelligence determines
individuals’ professional and social standings; (f) environment plays little
role in determining an individual’s intelligence; (g) the intelligence of populations
is deteriorating over time; and (h) scores on IQ tests are consistent with
classical statistical and measurement theory. Each premise is refuted on the basis
of historical, sociological, psychological, and statistical evidence

I recommend you read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence before continuing anymore in this thread. You probably won't considering how quickly you replied to my post regarding the homo sapien and Don't be a sucker link.

If you believe genetics defines intelligence by itself, should totally check out genetics of race and intelligence.

Holy shit, you're just a straight up racist.

We're all human regardless of the amount of melanin in our skin.

This is blatantly false. Where the hell are you getting this information from? China's nearly outpacing America on scientific discovery.

If you truly believe what you say is fact, you're naive.

Race doesn't really play a part in it, as you can see in that chart with math scores, all races can score lowly, all races can score highly.

Personally, I think it's more about the social-economics of the individual growing up rather than the color of their skin.

I think you're correlating race without regard to other factors.

Instead of enforcing traffic rules with quotas, swatting people's houses and shooting up innocent people, maybe cops should investigate the real theft in America; wage theft.

Democracy, both representative and direct are flawed in their own fundamental ways. Propaganda can drastically affect a democracy. If your citizens are idiots, your leaders will be idiots in a representative democracy.

Direct democracy doesn't really scale.

Liquid democracy is an interesting concept (combine direct democracy + representative democracy).

What's the other options for government?

Feudalism doesn't work.

Monarchy doesn't work.

Dictatorships don't work.

I should an anarcho-syndicate could work, where the elected leaders are the top of industrial fields, such as doctors, engineers, and other professions. But next we'll be talking about communism and democracy.

Right. That's to prevent the government from just having the federal reserve printing infinite money.

Ideally, we'd be paying down our debt to the federal reserve, but with the deficit at an all time high due to tax cuts, that's not going to happen.

Certain public entities generate a lot more tax revenue than what they consume, e.g. NASA, IRS. Other entities consume much more money than what they make, e.g. US military's presence in the middle east.



How do you issue your first tokens? How do you distribute them? Do they just rely on random distribution for proof of work from a decentralized network? That's just silliness.

For once, I agree with a billionaire. 

The government doesn't make money out of nowhere. Instead, if lends it from a non-governmental organization known as The Federal Reserve, at least in the United States.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_System

The federal reserve does make money out of nowhere though... so there's that aspect.

For the US government to lend money from the federal reserve, legislation is required. Ideally, legislation is drafted by individuals who represent the people. Society (which is you and me) are supposed to hold these representatives accountable (by not electing them).

The public ledger system does have some scaling issues, but overall, it's still a public ledger, which is nice.

There's some private ledger cryptocurrencies, and some other centralized cryptocurrencies which allow crypto to scale better. However, these systems have their own pitfalls.

There's a problem. The fact that you believe in an almighty deity is just bonkers.

Your religion, and all religion just breeds hate and division. To deny free thinkers the right of thought is absolutely wrong. Indoctrination of your children with nonsense fairy tales is wrong.

Believing a pedophile is your prophet is wrong.

Yes, there's a problem, but not because you're Muslim, but because you're a theist.
