some people are so desperate to believe they know something others don't, or that they're somehow ahead of the game, that they leap to believing certain ideas just because they're controversial. it's an ego jerkoff for them, calling people sheep when they're just as guilty of putting themselves in a mental box as the folks they're trying to shit on.
it's so funny watching yuri call people sheep when all he wants is to be appreciated by the herd. yes yuri, you're such a good boy. you're a handsome little man, you're precious. we love you.

Netflix Censors Bill Nye Episode to Remove Segment About Biological Basis for Gender
When uploaded to Netflix, an episode of the educational children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" cut out a segment saying that chromosomes determine one's gender.
- I think zhese peepol need to choose another word other than 'gender'.detritus
- Hold on - isn't this tantamount to admitting that non binary genders are a choice, not genetics?detritus
- There are lots of factors that affect gender, both physically and mentally, and chromosomes are only 1 of many. It's not a binary issue by any means.monospaced
- So if I will it, I can grow boobs? Yaay!
.
No.detritus - Gender should be the descriptor for the base physical layout, regardless of sexuality or identity etc.
If not, then what other word?detritus - Ummmm..."Sex". To be fair, Gender isn't specifically biological.Morning_star
- Mm, I suppose. hadn't thought to be so basic. Well, that gives us a decade before that's challenged too...detritus
- how old are you detritus? you sound more and more like a Daily Mail reader lately :)fadein11
- Because I think that denying genetic dictation of sex/gender is retarded? I'm not the one denying freedom of thought here, Netflix is.detritus
- Either it's natural and genetic, or it's a choice and the Christians are right. I know which side I'm on...detritus
- I love how disagreement with some ill-founded nonsense therefore makes me a conservative hard-liner. Which is the more blinkered stance?detritus
- I willed myself to grow a pair of tits once. Didn't like them though so I willed them to shrink, harden and lodge inside fadein's brain. Explains everything.set
- I'm now conflating sex and sexuality.
More fool me. Either/or, both are dictated, not chosen, and if they're chosen, then no need to re-write language.detritus - lol @ set
Detset - the Brexit doubleact.fadein11 - erm, what? So I express justifiable reservations about the EU, state we're better in it, DON'T vote Brexit .. yet I'm now a pro-Brexit DM reader?detritus
- You do realise how absolutely retarded the "either you agree with me 110% or you're a nazi" stance is? No wonder middle-everywhere 'hates liberals'.detritus
- It's like free-thought and expression died.detritus
- You know my family lives in Europe, that my partner's from Europe, fadein? You know I'm possibly facing having to leave my own country because of Brexit?detritus
- (...I mean, probably not — i hope — but very possibly.)detritus
- It hasn't died, really hasn't. But think that if it makes you feel better. And perhaps lighten up a little.fadein11
- Sorry you misunderstood the difference between gender and sex matefadein11
- that was resolved before you even blundered in and accused me of being a Daily Mail reader, 'mate'.detritus
- I'm sorry to hear that Detritus but are you not a UK citizen? I am sure partner will be safe before any trade deal is done - I have friends in similar situationfadein11
- Didn't see your latest comments before replying by the way.fadein11
- Ignore me - I am a classic remoaner still bemused at how people thought handing over extra powers to the tories could possibly ever be a good thing.fadein11
- but of course, I'm wrong here. i am. not you and your presupposition and willful lack of comprehension. me, with my stupid facts.detritus
- Jesus lol.fadein11
- My comment didn't come from nowhere by the way - I will flag up as I see in future so you are aware.fadein11
- With a simple DM :)fadein11
- Weigh in with bizarre exaggerated opinions, throw some insults in, then tell the recipient to calm down once they respond. Hahaha, classic fadein.set
- Says the man who calls anyone a simpleton when rational people show your rabbithole theories may be nonsense. Classic Set. Who asked you anyway?fadein11
- My initial Daily Mail comment was actually a lighthearted comment - but it clearly flew right over the Brexit Brothers heads :)fadein11
- You really are blissfully ignorant to how fucking retarded you sound aren't youset
- And there hegoes again. Get back to your fake scientific papers lolfadein11
- we really are a typtych of twats.detritus
- ffs, +Rdetritus
- Is that what you tell yourself? Haha. Love it. Get back to your cognitive dissonance.set
- a 'twatych', if you will.
you won't, because we can't but disagree with each other. suffice to say - you're wrong. i'm not though.detritus - set... I think you'd look great with titsPonyBoy
- ...on his back.detritus
- Set is on the blob again throwing his non brainwashed organic Brighton artisan middle class toys out the pram again.fadein11
- 2 agains goddamit!! Lolfadein11

- Birmingham – Brighton, thru LDN.detritus
- Ah sorry - well I go to Brighton a fair bit funnily enough and often visiting clients in London so it could be arranged. But I dont live in Birminghamfadein11
- Oh! Sorry, I thought you were based up there. My bad! Well.. I dunno.
WALES QBN DRINKS!detritus - not far from Brum - in that vicinity ;)fadein11
- I'd happily have a beer with you and Set and I am sure it would be really nice - Im not a violent chap. And you both seem like interesting people.fadein11
- but Set and I have been too horrible to each other too many times I think - the wounds run too deep lol.fadein11
- WTF is going on here?i_monk
- ^ in the end it was decided that gender is determined biologicallyGnash
- it's not decided actually, certainly not by Nye or Netflix's producersmonospaced
- Oh we should all totally go for a beer, I reckon it'd be great. Honestly. I reckon we'd all get on pretty well in't real worldset
- Thing is we don't drink beer here in Brighton though, it's full of glyphosate, the carcinogen they spray on wheat. Oh and gluten.set
- Not to mention they use frog's japseyes to filter it.set
- Only joking, let's all have a beer.set

Biologists say half of all species could be extinct by end of century
https://www.theguardian.com/envi…
"One in five species on Earth now faces extinction, and that will rise to 50% by the end of the century unless urgent action is taken. That is the stark view of the world’s leading biologists, ecologists and economists who will gather on Monday to determine the social and economic changes needed to save the planet’s biosphere."
- Hopefully humans are on the list.utopian
- Why is this a problem? Haven't something like 99.5% of all species that have ever existed become extinct. Life finds a way, no?Morning_star

We cannot guarantee trust in ET messages.
https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.02180…
"Our main argument is that a message from ETI can-
not be decontaminated with certainty. For anything
more complex than easily printable images or plain text,
the technical risks are impossible to assess beforehand.
We may only choose to destroy such a message, or take
the risk. The risk for humanity may be small, but not
zero. The probability of encountering malicious ETI
first might be very low. Perhaps it is much more likely
to receive a message from positive ETI. Also, the poten-
tial benefits from joining a galactic network might be
considerable.It is always wise to understand the risks and chances
beforehand, and make a conscious choice for, or against
it, rather than blindly following a random path. Overall,
we believe that the risk is very small (but not zero),
and the potential benefit very large, so that we strongly
encourage to read an incoming message."- Imagine throwing it away without reading it, out of fear. lol to that.set
- That's not their actual conclusion, but you're pretty naive to simply assume ET = Good.
If they even exist in any meaningful sense..detritus - I would never assume that..set
- Not sure what would make you say that, either.set
- You tend to deploy 'lol' sardonically so I assumed you were on your usual "Aliens Exist and are really great and if you don't accept this, you're a cretin"detritus
- My bad if this wasn't the case this time.
LOLdetritus - Christ, you lot are odd.set
- Strange assumptions, defensiveness, weird logic and completely made up accusations everywhere by the odd UK anti-set brigade.set
- Yeah, must be everyone else who has problems communicating with you on this thing, set. God forbid it might just be you!detritus
- I've never said they definitely exist, just that the vast evidence to suggest they do is pretty compelling, and I've also never said they'd definitely be good.set
- Weirdo.set
- there is literally no 'vast evidence' that supports anything, set - we only have one planet as a data point to reference in this debate in the entire universe.detritus
- Perhaps if you didn't spend your time sneering at other's implied ignorance, people might interpret you differently? Of course, it's our fault though, right?detritus
- LOLdetritus
- lol, fuck me... get over yourself. You actually managed to take my comment as some sort of offence towards you, hahaha. So fucking defensive.set
- If you're not aware of the wealth of evidence then you truly are ignorant.set
- So both the defensiveness, the ignorance, the very odd assumptions and putting pretend things in my mouth that I never uttered, are of course your fault. Yes.set
- Who's else would they be?set
- offence towards me? not at all—willful misinterpretation of something that you decide perhaps not to believe in becuase it doesn't fit your narrative? perhaps.detritus
- Clearly I am truly ignorant - perhaps enlighten me with your bounty of wisdom and link to something at least partially credible? go on.detritus
- "You tend to deploy 'lol' sardonically so I assumed you were on your usual "Aliens Exist and are really great and if you don't accept this, you're a cretin""set
- Yes, you mistook my comment as being arrogant, offensive etc. Now you're backtracking...set
- I'll make some tea and wait raptly for this flood of knowledge that's about to whelm my consciousness and moisten my loins!detritus
- Oh intellectual glee! Oh joy at the unburdening of these chains of compliant stupidity - I am soon to be free! to be free! Thank you set. Thank YOU!detritus

- ...out there, then there's not much I can help you with.set
- I did take your note as offensive arrogance - you've many times admitted that's how you are here. no question. I did not however take PERSONAL offence.detritus
- Why on God's alien-probed Earth would i?detritus
- You responded defensively. Use whatever words you wish to try and disagree with me. You called me naive based on something you imagined, lol.set
- Go on - please link to some of this vast bounty of evidence that is at least tangentially credible. I'm brewing tea here, shaking with excited anticipation.detritus
- Clearly you missed my post explaining that you're a grown man with access to the internet.set
- As I said, I might've misinterpreted your note here - but as i added, that's due to too many years history of dealing with you otherwise, so...detritus
- If you're still so rigid in your belief that there is no evidence whatsoever, then there is really no helping you.set
- Sure, but you said you didn't take it that way, now you're saying that obviously you took it that way. Make your mind up.set
- Show the fucking evidence! i've waited my entire life for anything that has any semblance of being proof - go on, please!
PLLLLLEEEEEASSSSSE!detritus - I've even told you I saw a UFO when I was a kid - if I'm rigid in my disbelief, it's because I've never seen anything believable, so please - PLEASE, show me.detritus
- Use your brain and investigate yourself. I've already wasted far too much energy on you responding to this utter fucking nonsense...set
- Of course, if someone's not unquesitioningly gaping wide their mind's cunt to every STD-ridden halfwit prick of bullshit, they must be stupid, right?detritus
- Ok, show me ONE mote of evidence.
ONE. Can't be too hard to back up your arrogant certainty here, can it?detritus - I mean, if there's a vast sea of the shit, it can only take you a second's worth of effort to make me look like a fool, right? Got to be worth a punt!detritus
- Clearly my posting something about alien contact means i'm closed to the very idea of aliens and alien contact. *slaps forehead* what a fuckwit am I!detritus
- Fuck off and do your own research you silly cunt. You'll come back empty handed because clearly you have already formed your old man's opinion in stoneset
- You only need to open the relevant qbn thread to see that something is going on. Now fuck off. You're a boring cunt.set
- So you have no evidence?
Just to be clear, you literally can't find one scrap of evidence? ONE? Not even one. I'm dismayed. I made tea and everything.detritus - "there is literally no evidence that supports anything, set" has to be one of the most moronic things ever typed on this forum.set
- And yet you can't confute it and in being unable to do so exhibit yet more arrogance.detritus
- I just told you that we have a thread on this very forum with plenty of things to get started on, but instead of actually doing your research, you'd rather...set
- ...sit there, mocking me, convincing yourself that you've proved me wrong. It's fucking hilarious.set
- And still, no evidence.detritus
- I'll show you a hundred things and you'll come back with utter nonsense in response. I've seen it time and time again.set
- You have the wealth of knowledge available to man at your fingertips, and you're still literally insane enough to there there is 'literally NO evidence'.set
- There is literally no helping someone like you. None. Why would I bother to try? As I said, please fuck off now.set
- I WISH TO BE UNBURDENED OF MY STUPIDITY, BUT THE GOOD MAN (haile setassie) WON'T HELP ME :(detritus
- All I've said is there is enough evidence out there to make you question what's going on. If you can't see that, you're either a complete idiot or mentally ill.set
- Show. Me. One.
One that you think is utterly convincing.
Wholly unquestionable as evidence.
Go on.detritus - I've started to type multiple items worth checking out, but I really cannot bare to listen to your response. Go on, fuck off now. There's no helping you.set
- A strange way to prove your assertion - I'm afraid I can now only logically surmise that you realise you're talking shit in unhelpfully absolutist terms.detritus
- by the way - in your world, is 'doing research' browsing crap on adolescent's Youtube channels? is that even intellectually rigorous?detritus

It appears that a fair amount of 'science' is bullshit.
"He also looked at a number of well-regarded medical research findings, and found that, of 34 that had been retested, 41% had been contradicted or found to be significantly exaggerated."
"By some estimates, at least 51%—and as much as 89%—of published papers are based on studies and experiments showing results that cannot be reproduced."

Did the Mysterious 'Planet Nine' Tilt the Solar System?
In January, astronomers revealed evidence for the potential existence of another planet in the solar system. Researchers suggest that if this world — dubbed Planet Nine — exists, it could be about 10 times Earth's mass and orbit the sun at a distance about 500 times the distance from the Earth to the sun.
Previous research suggested that Planet Nine would possess a highly tilted orbit compared with the relatively thin, flat zone in which the eight official planets circle the sun. This led scientists to investigate whether Planet Nine's slant might help explain other tilting seen elsewhere in the solar system.

Should we trust these people without question?
Meryl Nass is not an expert in childhood vaccines:
Meryl Nass is a doctor of internal medicine and an expert on bioterrorism, biodefense, anthrax and anthrax vaccine injuries. She has testified before Congress on the subjects of Gulf War illness, anthrax vaccines and bioterrorism. Her blog and anthrax-information websites can be found at AnthraxVaccine.org.Sherri Tenpenny is a fraud:
is an American physician and anti-vaccination activist from Ohio. She has claimed that vaccines cause autism, asthma, ADHD and autoimmune disorders.[1] The author of four books on anti-vaccination, her 2015 lecture tour of Australia was cancelled due to public outcry over her views on vaccination which go against established scientific consensus.Suzanne Humphries is not an expert:
is a nephrologist (kidney doctor. She has written several blog posts and done several podcasts and interviews insinuating that kidney failure is caused by vaccines.[1][2] Humphries uses this purely anecdotal, unstudied, "feeling" of vaccines' role in kidney disease to try and justify why her complete lack of training in any relevant field of immunology or vaccines doesn't disqualify her as an "expert" on the topic.- I wonder about that, same time I think they get traction from people who get damaged from vaccines. the movement in question by itself is not without concernyurimon

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. you post something about vaccinations within seconds i have found reliable sources that offer evidence that contradict your claims.
Regarding the HPV article, in the comments was this:
1. There were 919 cervical cancer deaths in the UK in 2012.
2. Every one of those deaths were 100% preventable.
3. You are comparing the cancer rates PER YEAR to alleged HPV reactions (which would only happen ONCE, not every year.)
4. If your reported 10% was real then the total number of people having serious adverse reactions out of 100,000 would be more than 30,000 i.e. In every single school of 300 girls that were vaccinated 100 of those girls would have had a "serious" reactionIt seems that, unsurprisingly, the newspaper article is not balanced or well researched. Yet, you are willing to offer it as some kind of credible evidence of conspiracy without any effort to put your claims in context or search out authoritative alternative sources. Its just comes across as myopic, lazy and paranoid. Raise your game.

- A theory is a hypothesis that goes through extremely rigorous testing, and becomes a solid theory to base future science on.monospaced
- Theory: a supposition intended to explain something
Supposition: a belief held without proof or certain knowledge; an assumption or hypothesis.Morning_star - Religion: truth, like that flood story and 7k year old earth.moldero
- Nice try, Morning_star, but those definitions are in the wrong context entirely.monospaced
- A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.monospaced
- A hypothesis is a suggested solution for an unexplained occurrence that does not fit into current accepted scientific theory. The basic idea of a hypothesis is that there is no pre-determined outcome. For a hypothesis to be termed a scientific hypothesis, it has to be something that can be supported or refuted through carefully crafted experimentation or observation. This is called falsifiability and testability, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.monospaced
