MAHA report cites nonexistent studies, Leavitt blames it on “formatting issues”
jerryskids replied to TimHauck's topic in The Geek Club
It's part of why Leftism is a cult. There are people who actually believe this, which is how they justify lying on rooftops with sniper rifles aimed at the POTUS. It's been said many times: conservatives hate progressive ideas, whereas progressives hate conservatives. -

Bro completely misses the point and thinks collaboration among average people is the same as collaboration among geniuses. -

The poor kid is likely on the fast track to terrorist leadership. Like the training daddy got in Libya and through UNRWA. Allahu Akbar. -

The primary benefit of an environment like MIT is its ability to collect the greatest technical minds into one place, so that they work together and bounce ideas/experiments off each other at a blinding pace. Something of a "1 + 1 = 10" situation, to use a binary/base ten pun. Otherwise you have a bunch of geniuses trying to do brilliant stuff one-off while surrounded by gammas like gutter who are training to be code monkeys. You can argue that in the absence of MIT, some other place would have taken its place. That's probably true. But the reality is that MIT is currently that place, and you can't just wave a magic wand and instantly create the best technical institution in the world overnight. This is why it so saddened me when they increasingly went woke over the past few years. Thanks for educating me, gutter. -

Maybe the original studies are stored in a mine somewhere in Pennsylvania? -

It wasn't the status quo, tho. Conservatives were unhappy with things like the Inflation Increase Act and Student Loan Forgiveness, not to mention wide open borders and the other things I mentioned in my previous post.

The "happiness gap" makes sense. Conservatives are, by definition, generally happy with the status quo. Progressives, by definition, want "progress" or change. As such, progressives have an unhappiness with the status quo. One could argue that it is natural to be unhappy if there is a change you feel strongly about. I think historically this could explain progressives. But it's clear in recent years that there are a lot of people who are just fundamentally unhappy. These people seem to think that change for change's sake might make them happy, I dunno. But look at the causes celeb these days: terrorist baby-murdering Palestinian regimes, open borders, boys in girls sports, male rapists in female prisons, the list goes on. These aren't exactly like slavery or women's suffrage. It seems we've solved all the big things, so the unhappy people need to find increasingly bizarre changes to support.

Anyone else think college women's softball is kind of hot?
jerryskids replied to Tebok's topic in The Geek Club
In general, I agree with those that say that softball is not at the top of the food chain for producing hotties. I suspect that the nature of the sport generally rewards more baggage for power, and doesn't penalize the extra weight. That is not to say that there aren't some smoke shows, though. I've got the Softball CWS on in the background, and this Oklahoma pitcher Sam Landry is making my bat happy. https://www.google.com/search?q=sam+landry+sexy&sca_esv=0db3d9d5837845dd&sxsrf=AE3TifPRVMNXp-BSGzrDnCOjxQF0D9TELQ:1748546500067&source=hp&biw=1368&bih=743&ei=xLM4aLGeApXWkPIPjdv64Aw&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaDjB1AHQEevCPaejWnzxi3jm2jbjXD9c&ved=0ahUKEwixkIios8mNAxUVK0QIHY2tHswQ4dUDCBc&uact=5&oq=sam+landry+sexy&gs_lp=EgNpbWciD3NhbSBsYW5kcnkgc2V4eUj8OlAAWP02cAB4AJABAJgByAKgAbUTqgEHMy44LjIuMrgBA8gBAPgBAYoCC2d3cy13aXotaW1nmAIMoAKuEcICBxAjGCcYyQLCAgsQABiABBixAxiDAcICDhAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGIoFwgIIEAAYgAQYsQPCAgUQABiABJgDAJIHBzIuNS4zLjKgB-ZBsgcHMi41LjMuMrgHrhHCBwcwLjYuNS4xyAct&sclient=img&udm=2#vhid=Z3NyHMGBjMpZJM&vssid=mosaic -
Back on topic, conservatives are consistently found to be happier than liberals. Perhaps being dumb, like the OP, contributes to their unhappiness? AI Overview Learn more Research consistently indicates that conservatives report higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction than liberals. This "happiness gap" has been observed across various studies and demographics, suggesting that it's not simply due to one group having more advantages than the other. While this gap is consistently reported, the reasons for it are still debated, with factors like personality traits, moral values, and even socio-cultural contexts playing a role. Here's a more detailed look: Potential Explanations: Some theories suggest that conservatives may be happier due to their more traditional values and beliefs, which can lead to a greater sense of belonging and purpose. Others point to personality traits like neuroticism being negatively related to conservatism, potentially contributing to lower happiness among liberals. Socio-Cultural Context: The happiness gap may be less universal than previously assumed, with the extent of the gap varying depending on the specific socio-cultural context and political ideology prevailing in a particular time period or country. Moral Foundations: Research also suggests that liberals and conservatives may differ in their moral foundations, with liberals emphasizing harm and fairness, while conservatives prioritizing loyalty, authority, and sanctity. These differences in moral values could potentially contribute to differences in happiness. Further Research: Some studies question the validity of self-report measures of happiness and suggest that more objective measures are needed to fully understand the relationship between political ideology and happiness. Research Findings: Studies have repeatedly shown that conservatives report being happier and more satisfied with their lives than liberals. This is true even when controlling for factors like age, gender, and income.

Hey @Ron_Artest and @Fnord, feel free to respond to the above. I'd also appreciate your thoughts on Cornell's take on DEI for their Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. This is how Ivies are teaching our future leaders. Sounds good? https://ecologyandevolution.cornell.edu/diversity-and-inclusion -

Sorry I disappeared, I'm at the Dbacks vs Pirates game. You tried the semantics game, dummy. I'm embarrased for you that I need to waste time reminding you. I'm fine in general with equality goals like @TimHauckquoted, things like mentoring and interviews at HBCUs. I'm against in general equity goals , things like equal representation in positions, because those put numbers ahead of quality. then again, i worked in an engineering world, like @nobody, where people cared if planes crashed. -
