Unlike some of you morons, I'm smart enough to see that IQ is a totally discredited, useless concept. I'm genetically exactly as smart as Seebs - especially when it comes to math! You're all just too biased to see that. It's nothing to do with neurocircuitry or the structure of the brain. With enough prep, to do as well as Seebs on an advanced math test I'd only need to try hard enough. Wouldn't matter if even the prep just gave me a headache and I didn't know what the hell I was doing. It's all a matter of having faith, people.

I mean, it totally makes sense that evolution would stop at the neck! Why can't any of you idiots who believe in intelligence figure that out?
This was a funny post and should have been thanked. FF deserves to be sued.

Next rant.
"If women liked sex as much as men, there would be straight cruising areas in the way there are gay cruising areas. Women would go and hang around in churchyards thinking: 'God, I've got to get my fucking rocks off', or they'd go to Hampstead Heath and meet strangers to shag behind a bush. It doesn't happen. Why? Because the only women you can have sex with like that wish to be paid for it."
~Steven Fry
OK, you fucking high-IQ-retarded self-loathing queen, so why are there zillions of big hairy square-jawed men of all sexual orientations who don't fuck 20 people a day?

So why did Kinsey find in the 1940s that the vast majority of gay men did not even engage in anal sex, but all the sudden 1970s+ (with advent of gay gonzo porn culture, not coincidentally) we're supposed to believe that a drug-and-dopamine fueled pathologically promiscuous bathhouse scene which evidently doesn't even appeal to most gays in the world is somehow the universal and eternal standard of gay male - and all male! - sexuality?

Oh, shit, I'm asking questions of substance now. Steven Fry prefers to just wax not-so-poetic about how smart he is, and otherwise spout bullshit and strike poses.

Blatant examples of hypocrisy - grounded in taboos and shame - on this supposed 'Freethought' forum could easily fill a book, nay, library.

"White men can't jump" would not be controversial at all on this board.

"Black men can't do trig," although more empirically true of black Americans, black South Africans, etc., than the other statement* would result in a storm of mock outrage mostly from well-off white assholes who have never even hung around black people in the flesh.

*e.g. there are many good white basketball players from Russia and Eastern Europe, etc.

"Women can't do math" wouldn't turn anyone here into a pariah although it is flatly false and sexist.

"Women are on average less capable at math than are men and this difference is likely substantially inherent" would get substantial agreement here on FF, which is clear from many recent posts from the resident sexists revealing their true colors. This despite the problem that solid supportive evidence in favor of such an assertion is lacking.

"Black Americans are on average less capable at math than are white Americans and this difference is likely substantially inherent" would instantly make someone into a pariah on this board, despite the fact that this statement has overwhelming empirical and scientific support via numerous disciplines.

Racism is supposed to be taboo on this board, yet that is only inconsistently true. Liv has made it clear she doesn't meaningfully oppose white racism if the white racists in question happen to be Jewish - indeed, she demands that we don't intelligently talk about it at all. She actually laughed about a racist Jewish pornographer who literally pisses on black women and calls them n!ggers and mocked me for bringing up this fucked up reality. This despite the fact that with Ashkenazi Jews being by far the wealthiest and most powerful white ethnic group per capita, any racists in their group will be in a position to cause much more damage to blacks or anyone else than the loser trailer park types who get 'bravely' savaged with virtual missives around here.

So much for 'Freethought' on FF.

Your Xbox didn't die. It's just waiting for another Wii to play with.

Does the wii not turn on at all? I thought mine had died, then I found these instructions:
HTH
Reset the AC Adapter for your Nintendo Wii


Here's how we solved our problem and I hope it might help someone else who is experiencing the same issue.

1. Unplug the Wii AC adapter at both ends (from the back of the Wii system and from the wall outlet or power strip).
2. The AC adapter must remain unplugged at both ends for a full 2 minutes. We had unplugged the Wii several times, but the trick was leaving it unplugged for the entire 2 minutes!
3. Unplug anything connected to the USB ports and the Nintendo GameCube Controller ports (such as LAN Adapters, keyboards, Nintendo GameCube controllers, etc.).
4. After you've waited 2 minutes, plug the AC adapter into the Wii system and directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. If the power light comes on and stays on, then it appears resetting the AC Adapter worked.

My work laptop's hard disk has died :cry:

Good news is I don't own the thing and my employer/client will pay for the repair. Bad news of course is that I probably lost most of what is on it (not sure yet, I mailed it in and they are waiting for a new hard disk to put in).

The Wii is stone cold dead. I will try this.

You suck. I visited you in the hospital after your surgery and at home afterwards and you can't even be bothered to say hi or see how I've been after I get my guts ripped apart. I thought you were my friend, but I guess not.

How old's the XBOX (360?) Crumb? The older models are realllly shitty.

The 2010- present versions don't seem to break so easilly cause they removed this little part that has to heat up to turn the thing on that eventually wears out. If you're getting the REDEATH symbol is prolly that and you can test it by wrapping the machine in a towel so it over heats and check if it'll work that way. If so, it's fucked.

We have a pile of 3 or 4 dead ones. :nerdrage:

It is pre-2010. It is my third one. MS kept replacing them for me for free because of the RRoD. This appears to be behaving differently from those times. But who knows what the issue might be.

So the bank sent us a postcard saying that we have an overdraft. It's because they have started charging us a fee for inactivity. The reason why the account is inactive is because we've made several attempts to close it since 2007, but can't manage to get the three of us on the account back to the area that this regional bank is in on a non-holiday. I also got a past-due dues notice today for dues I don't owe, and verified that I don't owe months ago. So it has been a great mail pickup day.

White and Nerdy is STILL all over Youtube. Weird Al is a fucking racist!


Weird Al is to be condemned for such racist stereotyping. We all know that white people can booty-shake just as well as black people. Moreover, our underrepresentation as carjackers is caused by stereotype threat. I have found the correlation between stereotype threat and such underrepresentation to be a strikingly high .85, which can in no wise be dismissed. Potentially, I am an excellent carjacker; I simply insist on estimating the efficiency of the engine via visual inspection and conducting a cost-benefit analysis (see Humbolt, 1975; Svorza, 1997b) with the resulting findings taken into due consideration before deciding whether to engage in the carjacking operation.
