You could throw him into a black hole, and he would not be able to get out, etc.)

I dunno if you could even attempt that. That is probably the only way if we exclude psychological, perceptual limits.

It was detected during an operation to remove a blood clot.  Report sounds pretty confident.

I am glad. I don't want anyone hurt, even Trump.

McCain has brain cancer.

Ohh that is horrible.

It kind of moves further than that.

Devaluing your own worth and overvaluing the worth of others.

Both which are equally harmful.

Wait wait wait O_O I just saw this...

Apparently a study was made and...

It seems that Men have a larger desire for cuddling, and women the stronger desire for sex?

Huh, just goes to show you can't take stereotypes for granted if this is true. Then again it also makes a lot more sense given other stereotypes.

You know the one where men lack sentimentality in sex and women do? Under this stereotype it makes a lot of sense.

I should find that source and post it...

I can't even identify most of that.

Fried Egg, Bacon, Tomatoes, cooked mushrooms, Molasses beans, and Molasses beans on toast.

All served with Tea with the tea bag still in the cup.

Is it bad that I don't even know if I am right about the Bacon?

This conversation is rather hard to follow, so I might be misinterpreting this, but - seriously? Privilege is not synonymous with success.

I am very VERY hard to follow so I don't blame you.

My words was a counterpoint that any advantage someone has over someone else "needs to be dealt with".

So I gave an example of an advantage that not only cannot be dealt with, but would be oppressive if it could.

As well if an advantage doesn't lead to success, you are no longer advantaged. As well an advantage that isn't accessible isn't an advantage either

That's hardly a meaningful disadvantage.

I think your drawing a lot more from what I am saying than what I intended, but let me try to catch you up to the conversation. Yes it isn't a meaningful disadvantage, well it is sociopathy if taken to its logical conclusion, but I was simply laying the ground work that just because something is an advantage it doesn't mean that advantage cannot come with sizable or even overwhelming disadvantages that might make it impossible to gauge.

I was simply calling back to an earlier point in the conversation where it was outright said that "Privilege" comes with that disadvantage, therefor one cannot say that privilege is always pure advantage.

Or rather my goal is to challenge the precepts that "Check your Privilege" is based on. That it requires a lot of assumptions about a person, society, their gender, their race, the color of their skin, their orientation. That it requires assumptions about their lives and how the advantages present themselves.

It requires an assumption of perpetual victimhood and eternal victimizer.

To say nothing of how it is actually used "Do something about it!" Vs. What it actually means. (At which I have yet to see it used properly once)

Which is why I am going through this conversation.

Wait is one of the guys taking a picture literally a troll or gremlin?

I feel like I am missing a joke, though it might just be a sight gag not based on anything.

The worst case scenario for politics IMO is that factions stonewall or sabotage based on a grudge.

Like "Yes, what you presented is completely reasonable and is entirely within our party lines... But we are protesting the fact that we are losing so we will block it"

Well it probably isn't the only worst case scenario.
