50 Science Misconceptions

heathen says...

"Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'."

Now if he had said correlation does not necessarily imply causation, or that it doesn't prove causation, I'd agree 100%... finding a correlation isn't the end of a study but it could be the starting point for one, and often has been.

Shake That Pussy

chingalera says...

Look MilkmanDan, it was not the intention to offend you in particular, we merely leapt like a robot at an opportunity to snub a nose at rules-of-engagement relative to rules in-general and some of the more didactic pet-peeves some but not all have with regards to what we personally regard as insignificant, but that some folks seem to get bent-sideways about and begin these tiresome pedantic, didactic dull-ass comment threads.

Who cares if it's tagged incorrectly, who cares if it's marked long when it's really short? Who cares obviously some folks do and it bothers the shit outta them. There is no 'why', simply the questions of how what, when and who had a part in creating these inconsequential concerns in some people that it matters at all?

That you wanted to down-vote a comment suggests perhaps someone thought someone else was crude, mean, rude, or too direct or forward in their protest. We can live with that, as well as the supercilious reasoning for your not voting this video up, in our LTHO.

At the end of the day, you got yer cute kitty dragging someone's be-bootied -with-shoe-cover foot being dragged up close-in to a mischievous, playful cat's clawing with head-banging glee, and it's AS cute, as that slammin' chick's back-side in the screen-shot, unless you are from some other planet where rippin' asses don't stir your loins a bit, be you male or female, gay, straight or otherwise.

Glad you dug the misdirection as much as myself an we thank you for your sincere feedback.

Personally, I vote shit up based on the fact that the original submitter enjoyed the video enough to embed it, and at the end of the day it makes folks happy about contributing to the site and therefore the entire sift community benefits.

What really IS an affirmative vote anyway, but a gesture of goodwill and kindness directed outward from the wealth of consideration one has for oneself?

Do unto others, then run away as fast as you can...to paraphrase the rule.

Oh and the ass-wiping analogy was meant for all the OCD retentive types, the kind of people where everything has to be just-so or their fucking heads will explode....perhaps I should check a mirror??

Japanese Dolphin Hunt Condemned By World

chingalera says...

Yeah it's amazing huh, and 'FUCK YOU WHALES, as wail.The examples of native American and Anglo acting for convenience-sake as an analogous gesture is mute, they were ignorant savages back when....Better, stronger, faster is what the world is about nowadays, eh?

That folks can't understand the consternation of someone who may regard Japan with the contempt for the state of their psychological baggage of mindfuck that created the "today of Japan" that should be clearly seen by all humans with a conscience what can be seen clearly by the entire world with half a fucking brain, is not a concern...Love the Japanese, but they like all nations, cultures and peoples are hard-pressed to do the work needed to un-fuck themselves into the next paradigm of 'humans being' as fast as the planet's urgency warrants, all are guilty of an inevitability of self-immolation.

Japanese, Russians, the Swiss, and cunts with no ethnicity or countries that they know of, seem to suffer from the same state of illusion the entire world finds themselves suffering. Plus, females of all cultures are treated for the most part like shit by their males....kind of like most folks sit back and let those aquatic mammals closest to humankinder be so fucked .Incorrect? Provide examples or throw us in some penalty box and cry racism, or any 'ism' box, you fucking morons.

Are we, OVER-generalizing, or is herding mammals into an enclosure and poking them with sticks something that looks a-ok and sanction-able by sane, thoughtful peeps?? I would not wish this fate on a single Japanese citizen be they native or expatriate. Dolphins have cocks, just like humans do.

Have yourselves herded into an enclosure and experience what happens.

Oh and, fuck rules. Always have, always...will.

(Slinks-off to eat a dolphin sandwich and don boots and a vest made from similar hide, and read Mein fucking Kampfire, under the glow of a human-skin nightshade made from faux beaver.)

Fuck'a you DOLPHIN!

Sorry, couldn't help myself

You know the native american's butchered the bufallo by the thousands too right? Just like the early Europeans they learned that driving them off a cliff was a great way to get a whole seasons meat. And they didn't use 'every part of the animal' either.

It's amazing what TV and movies have taught people that simply isn't true.

Husky Says NO to Kennel Time

shatterdrose says...

Um, I'm not sure what you're seeing. But that dog never once made any gesture or posture that would indicate he/she was at any point in time going to make any attempt to harm anything or anyone. Just because a dog shows it's teeth doesn't mean it's going to bite you . . . well, hard. Dogs do understand play just fine.

Quboid said:

It's cute, but it would be for everyone's benefit if that dog was more disciplined. I'm not sure the dog was too far from nipping the guy at around the minute mark.

Don't interrupt Julian Smith while he's Reading a Book

chingalera says...

Hey Rambaldi, if I was in that situation you described that your friend was in, I'd have turned to the mother and slapped that, no-needin' to-be-raising-children bitch across her face. Your friend do that? He should have.

But s'rsly, I would have simply gestured to slap her really, while she got a tongue-lashing until I was hoarse...then maybe spank her bottom red in front of her child. Then, I'd take her daughter to get a frikkin' library card!

Baby Dolphin Rescued from Plastic Bag

artician says...

That thing was so adorable. I wonder where its mother went, because it seems too young to be without a parent. Let's hope it made it back to some family safely without becoming a shark-treat.
Also, I that "gesture of thanks" could have easily been blind panic, but whatever. Still adorable!

Lily Allen Hits Out At Music Industry With New Song

Trancecoach says...

She seems to be scapegoating rappers and black women, and using the wealth signifiers of rap music (washing rims in the kitchen decorated with bottles of champagne) to gesture at self-important “anti-consumerism” (as if an Armani tie on a hedge fund analyst wasn't just as bad). She's exhibiting the same kind of bad taste and myopia (not to mention latent racism) as other [white] singers, Lorde and Macklemore.

While she seems to be trying to make some kind of feminist statement here (“Don’t need to shake my ass for you/‘Cause I’ve got a brain.”), it doesn't seem to be all that feminist of her to be mocking the other dancers in the video for having talents she doesn't have. It also doesn't seem all that feminist of her to remain blissfully colorblind in a world that functions along race

Pastor Pretends to be Open Minded in Sterile Modernist Room

HenningKO says...

Saying you are ignorant and weak before a hypothetical perfect being seems to me an empty gesture of humility. Of course you are. Everyone would be. "Nobody's perfect." There. That was easy.
What is hard and humbling is admitting you may be wrong about your most deeply-held beliefs.

Gambit: Another Useless X-Man Gets Fired

rychan says...

I think the actor who plays Gambit here does such a perfect job of making him likeable and pathetic. Every little gesture is great -- the point with "really hard", the mumbling about needing to throw the playing cards around a bit, the surprise when he's fired.

Really nice production.

Captain America 2 trailer

JiggaJonson says...

I don't have a problem with special effects. I have a problem with shitty special effects that make me feel like I'm playing a video game instead of watching a movie. Anyone with a fair amount of gaming experience can tell what's real from what's not. All I'm saying is I long for the days when cgi was used to enhance rather than replace good special effects.

The models of the white house blown up for Independence day will ALWAYS look more real than the pixilated aircraft carrier that's coming out sometime next year. Go peddle your fan boy bullshit to someone who enjoys the Green screen studio as much as you seem to.

P. S.

I'm sooo happy that Disney purchased the rights to marvel. I always wanted to see the superheros I grew up reading in high Def PG 13 where wolverine can rip someone in half and not get blood on himself.

Tipping Servers $200

lucky760 says...

@Krupo - That's really nice of you to say. Thanks! And you were right on about my intent.

@shatterdrose - I wasn't being sarcastic. I felt it was genuinely a nice gesture (despite any potential ulterior motives by the tippers). Not only did I include a smiley, but a smiley with extra cute eyes . I just made two unrelated comments.

enoch says...

thats just awesome.
i have worked in the food and bev industry since 1979.usually as a second job but often as a primary.

i have to admit that whenever i received a large tip such as this i always felt a tad uncomfortable.
i totally appreciated the gesture but it still made me uneasy.

but what a great way to help in forgetting the lousy tippers.

that was great.put a smile on my face.
awesome people cant help but be awesome.

Boy Steals Kiss From ABC Reporter on Live Broadcast

artician says...

Made him apologize? Awe. She's cute though, and he was clearly not meaning to be misogynistic or abusive about it. I thought it was kind of sweet considering how many ways a person could ruin such a gesture.
