they somehow detect willful deception, like people expect polygraphs to do, but with high accuracy

This technology is a fantasy. It relies on the false assumption that their are detectable, reliable, and measurable physiological differences between bodies that are lying and bodies that are telling the truth.

Polygraphs aren’t unreliable because the technology isn’t ready. They’re unreliable because the idea that you can physically measure a concept (lying) is logical fallacy. (reification).

George Washington’s dentures weren’t wooden. They were made from the teeth of enslaved people.

So our first president literally wore the bodies of his victims as a cosmetic. Like Leatherface.

This article makes some salient points and recognizes modern conditions. However, the thesis seems to be “women’s freedom to choose divorce is bad for men”. Which is familiar to anyone who’s been around conservatives. It’s kind of odd that they don’t mention the harms women’s freedom causes society and children. But otherwise this is identical to what the Baptists and Catholics have been saying since forever.

The article suggests that people who have partners who’ve “checked out” aren’t doing a good job, but they don’t dwell on that like they do the trauma of an unexpected divorce.

Reads like sane-washed incel shit to me.

The idea that losers abuse substances is the one of the dumbest correlation/causation mistakes. Almost as stupid as “black people are more likely to be criminal”.

This is a common experience. But before you listen to the gender war bullshit about how it’s just not fair to be a man, consider some of the other explanations.

I’ve been abandoned, and I’ve been the friend who chose the girl. And I’ve learned some important things.

1. it’s the couple who forces friends to choose. most people would keep both relationships, but people going through breakups are myopic and insist.

2. I chose to be friends with the girl because she was a better friend. Not because I was endorsing her grievances.

3. I can’t blame my friends for choosing my ex. I would have abandoned any of them for her.

Everyone who eats animals or who “owns” one is contributing to the suffering and abuse. Animals are not a lifestyle choice. You shouldn’t own your friends.

I eat meat and have pets. I’m just tired of pretending that the vegans didn’t win this “debate” 40 years ago. All in a vein effort to spare my hypocritical feelings.

I don’t own a gun. It’s has nothing to do with politics. I’m a suicide risk; I don’t need a ticket to the bullet train.

The problem is that many, maybe most people are like me. They shouldn’t have a gun. If others were self-aware like me, shit like this would be much more rare. I think you shouldn’t be able to buy a gun unless every member of the household can pass a gun safety test. Including the pets.

Billionaires and policymakers have AI psychosis and they deserve our sympathy and help. Articles like this are a psyop to keep them calm.

His intended audience is Iran. He’s terrified of being made to look weak or get a worse deal than Obama. And he’s aware that time is on their side. Look at his comments about escalating the conflict: Iran is “taking too long to come to a deal”. He’s obsessed with getting a deal quick, but also not giving in.

He’s in a loose/loose position and former presidents in this situation are responsible for the Vietnam war.

She reminds me of Tucker Carlson. Both were raised to prominence behind a more famous person being laid low. And both were felled in exactly the same way their predecessor was.

If all communism is soviet, then all capitalism is colonialism and chattel slavery.

I keep thinking about that scene in the original Star Trek where they distract the computer by having it calculate the final digit of pi. If the Enterprise had AI like ours, the computer probably would have just said four.

RFK Jr. is a living example of how generational wealth can transform a class of clever criminals into a class of stupid criminals in 3 generations or less.

Donald was right. The Trump name does belong right next to Kennedy.

It’s ironic that there are so many prerequisites and certificates necessary to be a fan of punk, while being a punk musician requires nothing. You don’t even need to know how to play an instrument or sing.

The arguments that “life begins at conception” and “God’s creations are perfect” are so opposed to Christian doctrine that you’d get your tongue nailed to a door for saying that shit in the 13th century.

People who talk like that are signaling that their faith is subordinate to their ideology.

What we’re seeing is the transition to techno feudalism. Capitalism’s final insult was to privatize surveillance-state authoritarianism.

The reason Trump and Paxton are successful is because their voters will overlook absolutely anything they do because they’re white men who say the right words. Maybe we shouldn’t copy that?

It’s a bad look for people who call themselves antifascist to not only blindly excuse a Nazi tattoo with a lame excuse, but to ridicule anyone who’d consider that a red flag. It’s a bad look for people who call themselves feminist to not only dismiss women who say he’s a misogynist, but go straight to the ‘lying bitch’ defense.

I’m really getting sick and tired of public figures shoving their gender ideology and sexually down my throat. Congratulations, but you don’t need to go around bragging in front of children about how you cum inside your wife. It’s disgusting, get help.

I think the distinction your looking for isn’t currency vs. barter, it’s the real economy vs. Stock/Bond/Derivatives markets where money is accumulated by gambling without producing anything useful.
