gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: IQ isn'
t all physiology, ie, genetics. Your iq is in part dependent on your epileptics. So, yes, "there’s a lot to the functioning of the brain that’s purely cultural, and thus ethnic" but that "black kids immersed into white culture could in principle get the same IQ measurements as white kids" does not follow.

mircea_popescu: generally it's not understood that money is a burden, not a boon, and this current child porn cultural trend (i don'
t just mean squirreling away pictures of 12 yo girls split open, i mean the actual trend, a widespread and cvasi universal obsession with youths) is mixing the worst ingredients : child-hydrazine with money-methanol (it WILL make you blind, if you drink it!)

t happen

t have an affil code at all

assbot: CNN| US can'
t cut flights to Liberia | Ebola | slavery

t have a static ip it will, yes. how badly unstatic is it ? if it's a.b.*.* locking it down to just those is reasonably useful anyway

assbot: Things I Won'
t Work With: Peroxide Peroxides. In the Pipeline:
mircea_popescu: all these things with "food bank" and "shelter" and etc only exist because someone wants to fuck a teenager somewhere. so it's a perfect tool to get their social position enforced : unless the owner is actually sucking your cock, on a per article basis, don'
t mention them. all problems solved and everyone happy thus.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: <cazalla> mircea_popescu: I could swear the original DOJ Press release didn'
