All jokes aside, this is another great example of a trend towards bio-inspired engineering.

What is so bad about living with your parents? That's still the norm in many parts of the world. For some reason western countries, and especially America, have exaggerated the benefits of being financially independent, as if shared resources were some kind of failure.

I beg to differ. The only people who lose when we share resources are the capitalists.

I've got a few friends in their thirties who live with their parents and the whole family is very happy. And although my kids are only six and three, I can't imagine any reason why I wouldn't want them to continue living in my house for as long as they needed support.

We all need support. It's not a shame. It's an asset more valuable than property, imho.

"It's unclear how such egregiously bad images made it through peer-review."

That's because the paper wasn't peer-reviewed at all. In fact, the majority of published medical and psychological papers are never reviewed or replicated.

The scientific method has sold out to the profit incentive, at least in academia.

I'm not advocating violence, of course, because that's illegal both on this platform and in real life.

However, the history of humanity has demonstrated that powerful people need to be publicly executed in order for there to be sea change in economic inequalities. When enough people have nothing to lose, said executions become inevitable.

Almost anything can be addictive, but some things are explicitly designed to be addictive. I don't think that young kids are capable of regulating their gaming addiction. Someone needs to intervene, most likely the parents.

With all due respect, my friend, you're assuming a false dillema. The majority of academic scientists are religious, reflective of the general population's religious affiliation.

Of course there are a minority of highly vocal outliers on both sides of the spectrum who profit from the discord, real or imagined.

So excessive. I'm ashamed that my tax dollars have contributed to genocide.

Why wouldn't an IDF sniper kill unarmed citizens in a church? They know that there will be absolutely no repercussions for their actions because the United States is wrapped around their bloodstained fingers and the States will continue to send unlimited money and arms.

I'm absolutely convinced that Israel will blatantly commit genocide and that Palestine will cease to exist within five years. Israel knows full well that public outrage will quickly be forgotten. They're planning for thousands of years of Israel's reign, while the Americans can only think as far as the next presidential election cycle.

If the rationalist deduces what is logical based on their empirical experience then their reasoning is flawed. We have to accept the axiomatic truth that our senses are limited and cannot account for an absolute truth.

To separate valid perceptions from invalid ones, a person first must assume that the world can be known through the senses. They must also assume that the world is objectively real. These assumptions do not get along well with one other. To say the world is objectively real is to say it is independent of and indifferent to sense perception. Then what in the world can we know? We can know only the effects of the parmesan cheese upon our senses, not the cheese itself.

There's more slavery now than at any time in human history, according to this UN task force.

It makes you wonder, of course, that if our capitalism depends on slave markets... is it really capitalism?

Someone please help me to understand...

Mazel Tov! Now the deaths of those 5000 Palestinian children is totally justified!
