I think the incels are into intactivism because a circumcision is an unrectifiable loss. Incels are deeply attracted to events and actions that are unrectifiable. Think about all the robots on 4chan bemoaning the absence of mutual adolescent love. One can be a turbo virgin all the way into college at least and still turn out fine. Incels didn’t (turn out will), and they didn’t (get any tail in highschool); so that must mean that being a virgin in highschool is what broke them.

In a similar way, many intactivists (especially the r/circumcisiongrief types) blame their sexual inadequacy on their post-natal circumcision, rather than their own psycho sexual issues or their habits of completely monkey-wrenching their shit on the daily. To be absolutely fair, a circ will almost definitely negatively affect your sex life, and really, it’s frustrating to have a completely pointless operation done to your meat without your consent, but I think intactivism is a heatsink its proponents fervor, rather than the source of the anger.

I’ve been a big fan of HN comments lately

It’s so embarrassing to watch upper-middle class (at best!) rationalists get their panties in a twist over Luigi. At least the right wing talking heads are getting paid, these guys are just mad he did things instead of tweeting about things.

Lots of developments in the UHC shooter case

• They (probably) caught him

• He’s even hotter without his three identical jackets

• He’s a Thielhead

Not very happy with how this day’s going

That’s what she said? That’s literally so much funnier than any of the memes

Is that a Henry Ford reference? Very clever lol

Oh man that is so grim

Kronvold, 38, was given an FKU test in 2014 before the birth of her second child, a boy, and again recently while pregnant with her third child. Speaking through an intermediary, she told the Guardian that on this last occasion she was told it was to see if she was “civilised enough”.

I think the real picture is the one depicting the man with a mullet, a receding hairline, a black eye, a more blacked out eye, and a body slathered in baby oil.

Fixed!

Art’s value is determined by two measurable factors: prettiness at a glance, and ungarbled signage, artist motivations be damned. With this in mind we can predict other advancements in entertainment (all art is entertainment!)

For example, future pro boxing matches will be performed by rock’em sock’em robots in skin suits. They can score more points than humans. Soccer will be performed by restaurant server robots…in skin suits. Humans will still have a place in Olympic skiing and swimming so long as human pleather warps in water.

Is Google lacing their free coffee??? How could a woman with at least one college degree believe that the government is even mechanically capable of dissolving into a throne for Eric Schmidt.

Words words words and more words that link to even more words (that you can ctrl-f for the relevant bits!)

The worst part about Trump being president is Trump being president for a year. The second worst part is Vance being president for the next three (after Trump dies of heart failure). The third worst part is the fact that I’ve been owned in a way I can’t even explain to my closest friends.

Is there a solution for helping the low-achieving kids?

I’ve gotten too offline to sniff out ironic posts. This nearly sent me to my grave

so the short answer is the model most likely made the numbers up

Right crime, wrong perp. The Google overview “correctly” sourced the IQ scores from one of Arthur Jensen’s “studies” where he reports the IQ of every country in the world and fully makes up numbers for over a third of them

(Rationally) “If there’s grass on the field play ball”

Just guys like that and guys like this
