“Now, I don’t have a sword, I have a fucking bonesaw. Because while I am a cleric, I also believe in the healing power of modern medicine. And by modern medicine I mean amputation.”

“Twenty years ago a boy in Brussels named Fabian had an idea. Because of Fabian's idea, millions of people behave a little differently when nobody's watching them. Lives were mangled, fortunes made. 

I can tell you this: Fabian's idea was to give the world free porn. This is a series about what happened when tech gurus took over porn. Much of it takes place in the San Fernando Valley. But it will go all over the place.”

Bam, sex ed needs to include emotional and psych ed about sex too

What is the alternative to abstinence-based sex ed? And why does everyone complain about abstinence-based sex ed anyway? Sure, if they're teaching that women who smile at guys are harlots destined for hell, I'd worry, but that's only the Purity Culture version of abstinence, everyone else is smarter about how they teach it.

They’re mad because they don’t think it teaches how to have safe sex and so then kids will get all the STDS and stuff. But MY SEX ED taught all of that, but also taught how important it is to save sex for marriage and taught about all the emotional side effects of not doing that.

"Don't regulate the monopolies, let them die." There's a reason they're monopolies. It's because they can fucking crush the opposition, and, in most areas, are the only provider available.

Like the federal government?

Reblog this if you are against the porn industry

You need both. Praise effort without giving more recognition to outcome, get people who work harder but never smarter. Praise outcome without recognizing effort, get the aforementioned. Praise outcome and the effort required, get people who value quality work.

“Particularly prone to serious procrastination problems are children who grew up with unusually high expectations placed on them…or else they exhibited exceptional talents early on, and thereafter “average” performances were met with concern and suspicion from parents and teachers.”

Holy SHIT

The fundamental reason I oppose affirmative action. I would hate to be treated better simply because I was "diverse" (whatever that means).

Something I wish more people would understand…

do you actually think women piss out their breasts

“There’s nothing left to conserve”

. . . what ... what does this mean?

Conservatives are fundamentally unintelligent people because they lack the basic perception or analytical skills to see that there’s nothing left to conserve.

If your entire political worldview can be accurately reduced to

muh republic muh taxes muh god

Then perhaps you should just keep your pathetically minimal ideas to yourself.

[thaddeus-maximus]

Yea

Never talked to @thaddeus-maximus because he’ll just text you random shit and then never reply back 😡😡😡😡

Interesting, if you give an agency billions of tax dollars and have them do some odd task they do it.

Who’s doing any of that cost effectively? *crickets*

OK I guess you science nerds might like it but most of the engineering nerds I hang out with like SpaceX farmoreover because they’re doing innovative stuff (CFRP tanks! God tier materials science! Reusable rockets! Potential to actually do something USEFUL!). Also their work ethos is much more like an engineer’s; thoroughly invested.

NASA is all pomp and circumstance (it all started with a space race) but privatized agencies show promise to make use of space travel and make it commonplace.

Like do you want to be with an agency that’s doing the same old same old or one who’s going to make publicly accessible, tangible, and practical use of space?

I get so confused by people who want to work at NASA still. It is a glorious age of privatized space travel and you want to go work for the government, making things that are a tax burden, and being less innovative than other agencies?
