These people who get so incredulous about "soft" social sciences, (think critical theory) yet talk about IQ testing like it's Newton's 4^th^ law do not value, or do not understand the science. Even the serious people who defend IQ in good faith, speak of it with qualifications.
What is so attractive about a system to categorize and rank humanity? And what do the people who are attracted to it have in common?
Didn't grow up with one, but consider it standard now. There should be an organic stream to waste disposal. Much more green to send your plate scrapings to the treatment plant than to wrap them up in plastic and bury it in a landfill.
Easy to replace? sure. A couple hours if your handy.
But installing one for the first time will require electrical in addition to the and plumbing work. It's a pretty big job for a DIYer.

ummmmm
Zimbardo is part of a generation of psychology that struggled with why modern European people did a Shoah. Or rather a generation that sought to confirm through experiment that the Germans were alright and it was really all Hitler's fault. Or at least a small number of evil Germans who caused the whole mess.
It's auspicious to bring this up now because just watching the news these days makes a fool of Zimbardo.
That nearly half of Americans found themselves attracted to the likes of Trump should have prompted a moment of deep reflection among U.S. liberals a decade ago. It has not. Even in the course of this tragic presidential election, the Clintons and Obamas refuse to ask themselves what policies, techniques and political forces spawned such discontent and such will to destruction.
This is good example of the left's myopic thinking. The great near-enemy war between the left and liberals erases agency from Conservatives. They're not responsible for the rise of fascism, just because they were the ones who support it. No, it's the liberals of the past who didn't manage the rabble properly who are to blame.
What is the lesson they are supposed to learn? Stop running women candidates?
Harris' loss wasn't some Electoral College bullshit, or 3rd party spoiler. Maybe the Palestinian vote cost her Dearborn, but it can't explain the numbers throughout Michigan, much less Georgia and North Carolina.
I'm skeptical that leftest policy would save the Democrats when the country just roundly rejected liberalism.
I had an anatomy instructor who insisted that neural activity was a purely chemical process and that the electromagnetic stuff was just a byproduct that got all the attention because it was easy to detect. His central argument was that nerve transmission speeds are no faster than 150m/s which is somewhat slower than the speed of light you'd expect if neurons were little wires transmitting signals.
"low-information" voter is anti democratic rhetoric. It's an argument that some votes should count more than others. Or that some voters are better than others. First time I heard the phrase was on Rush Limbaugh like 20 years ago. I've been disturbed how often "progressives" adopt this bullshit mentality.
Do tankies really think that 10+million Americans boycotted an election in solidarity with the Palestinians? This is why they're not taken seriously. k
Even when the plan is "do nothing" Tankies fuck it up.
This is a perfect story, that's why I don't believe it happened.
Some people look down on WWE, I see it as a window on American culture. Even the lazy refrain: you know it's not real right? Well read the allegations against McMahon with special attention to how he ran his enterprise, and say that again. It's as obtuse as saying "you know movies aren't real, right"? Wrasslin' is like what would happen if an improv troupe went global. Just think of the talent that's come out of it: legendary athletes, blockbuster actors, .....POTUS.
Instead of getting up early for Meet the Press, I stay up late for Monday night Raw.
