Is there no point in going to the polling booth to vote for your Prime Minister or Presidential candidate? Are you are fooling yourself if you think your one vote will make any difference? A statistician has argued that you are more likely to die in a road traffic accident driving to the voting...

Sometime that annoys me today is doing my accounts, and there is a repetitive sequence of entries I have to do that would ideally suit a macro program. But that involves finding one, learning the damn thing and then setting it up.

No doubt, the use of the hashtag will tire with time, and then it will be a faux pas to use the thing.

"An open marketplace of ideas"

Watching something on YouTube about Dr Ford's statement of when it all happened. In a text to the Washington post, she said it happened in the "mid 1980s". In a letter to Senator Feinstein, she said it happened in the "early 80s." So who did she lie to? (Or were both lies!) She told the...

You had me in stitches with that comment! :ROFLMAO:

What if you are a woman who identifies with being a man, but don't have a certain "implement"? That "implement" forms part of your behaviour too, since it is something that is physical and moves, like our arms, legs and so on. Given that, the behaviour of the man and the woman will be different...

I loved Woody Allen films, the early ones at least. Used to really make me laugh. :D I've seen the film you mentioned. It was a bit "out there." The best part for me was him as the court jester.

Who does the deciding? Your pre-programmed DNA? Your subconscious? If we think about it, try to analyse what to do, is that our conscious mind deciding or just our DNA influencing our subconscious influencing our conscious?

I frequently get out when going to a McDonalds. The new order screens are pretty good nowadays. But what annoys me is that when I decide to try one of their new burgers, I don't like them as much as my usual quarter pounder and I get buyers remorse!

They ought to release an art IQ. Is it an ability, is it not? I am crap at art so mine will be below 100.

What really annoyed me today was ordering a kebab, telling the lady I wanted lemon, she confirmed and then find there is no lemon when I get home. What a crock of ****.

Maybe biggest difference visually, but the brain is one of the most complex things in the universe. The reproductive system is far simpler, by comparison. Just a sausage and two brussel sprouts, verses the intricate network of the mind with an estimated 100 billion neurons. Yes, the medical...

One thing that drives me nuts is if I picked up a can of diet coke by mistake. I am full fat all the way. That diet stuff is rubbish!

We were talking about why you think the reproductive system trumps the thinking system as evidence that you are a male. But why should it?

What about going to pick up a takeaway chinese and they forgot to include a dish you ordered?

So gender is a choice then? Is the brain not a key system too? No brain, you can't operate the body to reproduce.

Thanks for replying to this thread Doc. I was getting really grumpy that people were ignoring it!

Let me switch sides to the Doc's view for a second. :D Essentially, when we talk about plumbing, are we not talking about the biological construction of the body? Men have bits constructed in a different way to women and vice versa. Adam is short of a rib. Let us assume that the brain also...

There are levels of reliance. The buck stops with you. But you can rely on others with varying degrees of reliance! And others who have no reliability and therefore zero reliance.
