  • Please calm down. I like it when we have words to describe specific concepts, and it seemed like the previous poster was saying that a word to describe this specific phenomenon was unnecessary because we already have the word to describe a broader phenomenon.

    It’s like “all ships are boats but not all boats are ships.”

    When someone starts talking about race science, I don’t think it’s a problem to call it race pseudoscience. I think it’s more specific than just calling it racism. That’s it. That’s my whole point. I don’t know why it’s controversial here.


  • What? These are pretty clearly two different concepts. Race pseudoscience is racist, but not all racism is racial pseudoscience. There is no need to water down definitions.

    Edit: for some reason this has gotten people very worked up. I was simply trying to say that we don’t need to eliminate the term “race pseudoscience” because we already have the word “racism”. It can be a useful designation. Perhaps I misinterpreted the previous comment but it seemed like they were saying there is no need to have both terms.

    Seriously I don’t know what I said that is so controversial or hard to understand.






  • Chickens will eat almost anything. I once saw a chicken grab a frog and swallow it whole. One of its legs was hanging out of her mouth the rest of the day. She was fine afterwards.

    Eggs are also especially tasty to them. You can feed them cooked eggs (very nutritious), but if they ever get ahold of a broken egg and realize how tasty they are, they can start eating their freshly laid eggs before you can collect them.






  • Agree, but I think that’s a separate issue entirely. I think the concept of porn addiction specifically comes up as an excuse for all kinds of depraved acts, from cheating to pedophilia to rape.

    It also gives a somewhat conscience-alleviating name to the overwhelming psychological stress that many religious people feel when they experience the cognitive dissonance of enjoying something so “evil” and “sinful”, as the article discusses. An ex of mine, who was raised in a much stricter baptist family, had real, serious trauma from it.
