I want to celebrate with him the amount of haggis available today.
(because it's so good)
awesome Burns Supper of awesomeness is planned for Saturday night. Menu includes whisky, Scotch Broth, whisky, Haggis, neeps and Tatties, whisky, cranachan, whisky, Irish Coffees (with Scottish Whisky) and then death.
Seriously, guys, this is gonna be awesome and you should all be jealous.
(wait for Sunday's report that I accidentally gave us food poisoning and then you can mock me).
Helen Mirren looks good for her age, but she is 65. I mean, come on, guys.
Its like the conservatives who attack Pelosi and Clinton on their appearances.
They're older than my grandparents give em a break.
There was a slideshow of various political figures' high school photos floating around a few years ago. Cheney looked like a footbally bully, Bush looked like a pothead slacker, and Pelosi was drop-dead gorgeous. (Granted, she was dressed a little archaically, but still.)

What kind of meat are you using for Scoth Broth (if you say Beef you're dead to me)
what i'm saying is that the existence of a crowd- wherein we're defining them as a group of people not necessarily bound by anything more than proximity- doesn't necessarily serve to reinforce the courage of its units
cops know they're in it together
if dave is in a pizza shop and witnesses a wrong (someone catching a beating, a robbery, whatever) carried out by a threatening figure... there's nothing to say that he'll think "well there are 5 other guys in here right now, i'm sure they'll back me up, now i feel safe enough to approach"
true
but in the video linked, many groups of people gathered who collectively started exhibiting aggressive and critical behavior towards the suspected thief
so, they did have something tying them together more than proximity
also people sometimes travel in groups of friends, especially at a park
You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.
implicit anti-black bias has even been demonstrated in most blacks
It's a pretty uncontested thing in research on the subject
if you live in America
you've been socialized to a lot of stereotypes about black people that influence your cognition whether you subscribe to them consciously or not
I'm not saying it makes you a bad person
But it is pretty damn well researched and evidenced. I'm comfortable calling it a fact in a common-language usage of the term, yes
I've recently begun reading Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. That self-loathing found in ethnic minorities, which was probably even more magnified and cruel in the 1940s, is really, really upsetting. But that's the social web that we wove so tightly for millenia, I suppose. I think it's shifting a bit, but it'll take a long time to reverse, and it's not a sure bet that conflicting standards of beauty and aesthetics will ever be resolved.

Hey [chat]. I drank a lot of wine last night and watched the Joan Rivers documentary. It was great.
Is her documentary called "Plastic!"?
No. Actually one thing that's really great about it is that other than a tiny bit where she talks about it, they don't even talk about her plastic surgery at all. The documentary is about her career as a comedienne, which is actually much more storied and interesting than you'd think.
but also remember this was a public park is broad daylight, and most of the people approached him in a group, including several large crowds of 10+ people
it's not like a one-on-one confrontation in a dark alley
I'd just call the police and give them all the info. There is zero reason to risk ones self over someone elses property.
Yeap, me too. I would have called 911 on either of the two (and the fucking chick too for that matter) without even speaking to them.
I would absolutely not confront a potential criminal over someone else's bike.

Our Scotch Broth is veggie, though if we were doing meat it would be lamb or mutton. For it is traditional.

Seriously, I've called the cops to report crimes or weird shit ain't no thing. I don't confront or hang around. Just call the fucking po po and be done with it. So many wackjobs that could turn a "Hey are you stealing that?" into a fucking blood bath.

Wow, Nancy Pelosi was absolutely beautiful when she was younger. And she majored in political science, what a surprise

so I agree that fMRI isn't always treated with the necessary skepticism, especially by the media (again I think it's important to distinguish popular response from professional procedure)
but what do you make of studies like this, then: http://www.physorg.com/news196508066.html -- which demonstrate strong, statistically-significant predictive power based on brain imaging?
If it doesn't signify anything, doesn't it stand to reason that fMRI would struggle to predict anything accurately? Also, I can't help but think of the fMRI imaging efforts where scientists have attenuated fMRI to determine successfully what images or letters people are picturing in their brains
of course in both cases we're talking about researchers using relatively sophisticated statistical techniques, so presumably they're using best practices along the lines recommended in the salmon article,
but personally I don't read stuff like that as "fMRI is bunk" so much as "be careful because it's not hard to mess this shit up."
Yeap, me too. I would have called 911 on either of the two (and the fucking chick too for that matter) without even speaking to them.

I called the cops on a drunk driver once. Watched the cop pull her over too. My friends called me a narc but I felt really good about myself. Shit was dangerous, she was swerving.

I've also called the cops on neighbors having what sounded like a domestic dispute.
I get really sick of people trying to use statistics as proof of what I would do.

Indeed.

Because your name is pretty gross.

ah, i didn't watch the video, pardon me.
Oh hey I'm plenty into that. Just not really obssesed with the size of a woman's gluteous maximus
There is actually such a thing as vegetarian haggis.
It is not in any way similar to actual haggis (which makes perfect sense, when you think about it), but it is actually really quite good.

You don't know me.
i expect that you will send me scans of the new bank... ledger

what
is
We have it quite a lot; it's one of our regular 4 or 5 soups. Probably because japan is Scottish.
No, because black people don't have tons of white guilt exploding out of them constantly.
Your friends are fucking idiots. Drunk drivers are god damn dangerous.

there's nothing that precludes me from stopping that robbery and also fucking her stupid
