This is your last chance to get good sleep for the next several years and you're going to blow it taking questions from memesters? Go to bed idiot.

you're scaring me

Be scared. You picked the hardest class to play as in this shit videogame no one even beta tested.

Get some sleep. Remove 4chan and any other deconstructive webforums from your bookmarks. Now is the time to grind for XP.

Its just a continuation of the mechanization that's been happening for hundreds of years.

automation/"robots taking jobs" is literally the best thing that can happen to humanity

the sooner all these trivial tasks are automated the better

all progress is caused by increasing worker productivity
aka
automation

Yes, anon.

Depends on my frame of mind. Because human logic is largely binary, but can recognize the absence of either state, one of three things happens.
-The music adds to what I'm doing and directs thought accordingly, or creates such that the logical framework I'm forming in working memory, or whatever region, is readily tied and integrated with already existing frameworks in long term storage. It gets sorted better later, and is more fluidly retained.
-The music becomes background noise. It doesn't seems to harm nor help, as you're already in a zone of sorts. Only consciously focusing on it makes it audible again, otherwise it is ignored. (NULL)
-The music is just a bunch of noise, clutter, and needs to stop. This is much more common if it's music you're not in control of, even if you like it. It's all about perceived control of the sound, just as your nails on a chalkboard are significantly less awful than someone else's.

What you're really getting at is types of music, and if there are certain things that broadly apply over diverse populations. I don't know. Relaxing and centering music probably helps, but where music brings someone is going to vary.

Nice riced desktop dude how many chicks has that gotten you

Not as many as you might think. I should start hanging out in coffeeshops more often.

no one /compsci/ here?

We still have Eastern Europe and China.

Intelligent individuals still select intelligent partners.

/pol/ doesn't understand that all the evil (((media))) and border policy in the world won't make intelligent men/women pick partners two or more standard deviations of intelligence beneath them. The people that pair up willingly with those sorts of people weren't doing your gene pool any favors, anyway.

This is a good thing.

Why?

Because it will cause implementation of eugenics and reproduction laws.

Also graphene.

>>8197069
they do occur.
currently, we're warming up.
human activity is in all likelihood speeding the process.

there's more to this (co2 levels and such, effect of warming on humans, etc), but this is more or less the gist of it. global warming activists are arguing that we should exploit cleaner energy to lessen our impact on the warming. i agree, but not necessarily because i care about the warming; i see it as a chance for more awesome technology. because, you know "burning shit" doesn't sound like the most advanced system we can possibly come up with to me.

>>8197070
forgot to add: the amount of human "help" to global warming should really be, if anything, at the center of the debate. scientifically, this is the case; politically, not so much. people tend to deny that the climate is changing at all, but then again, much of the same public would probably also agree that the earth is 6k years old, so yeah. democracy.

>>8197070
but look at this for example, how do you go about this:
>www . friendsofscience.org/index.php?id=3
debunks global warming theory completely and on top of that it has evidence for every piece of info provided.
things like this are the reason why I have trouble understanding if global warming is just a fallacious theory or if its actually true.

Lol.

You're also muddling a number of topics together.

Uploading will never, ever happen. It just doesn't even make sense when you think about how neurons work.

Brain transfer might happen, though. I think they're supposed to attempt a head transplant next year in Italy on some paralyzed Russian electrician.

It's a field that's better left ignored.

Can you give an example of science dismissing subjectivity?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. All you have are platitudes.

Penis envy is most certainly real.

You need to bear in mind the era and environment Freud grew up in, which was relatively sexually repressed. This formed his means to unravel and model the psyche.

>penis envy
what the fuck is that? I have 6.5 inches of meat and I'd trade 2 inches just to touch a chicks boobs

I seriously hope modern psychologists don't actually take any of that Freud shit seriously.

It removed my ignorance of the human form, let me see the human body as bones being forced around each other by constructing tendons and muscles. It opened my eyes to the similarities between the male and female body and how interchangeable they are when you void the reproductive organs.

Note while i am in public, it is easy to tell how people look naked through their clothes, because everyone generally looks the same, with extra scar tissue along the edges of their skin that rub against things more often. This makes me not notice that i am constantly looking men and women up and down, because while i an doing it in not thinking about them, I'm thinking about how string their tendons are, what kind of oils are coming from their skin, how many spots there are between the bones and how much of a canary there is between their hip bones to insert things

Sounds like an allergic reaction. Recent tests have shown that many supplements don't contain what they purport to contain. You might be allergic to some of the 'filler' shit that they put there.

Try different brands and see what happens.

Yes, you're my guinea pig. Do it for /sci/ence.

>>8198299
I have allergies, yes. Soy, corn, whey, peanut, blueberries and cranberries, certain mushrooms. This supplement claims it contains none of these things, at least in a form that would be reactive. But yes, it does resemble a manner of allergic reaction, though an oddly specific one I haven't quite experienced otherwise.

I was my own guinea pig for years. Consistent failure historically probably would have meant suicide. At present I was drinking this juice "Vitajuice", but unfortunately like most juices, jams, whatevers, it uses apple as a base or secondary base, which has components bacteria readily use and generate gases. My stomach has finally become flat after a week, I've been hungry for days, and I decided te old vitamins might be viable. They were not.

Feels bad. If I can't manage to solve this any other way, I'll just have to use antibiotics.

Yep. Reading the bottle it claims "free of corn, soy, shellfish, peanut, etc", but reading the product information sheet, most of its contents are derived either from soy or fermenting corn. It's not inconceivable something reactive, or a residual, is present as a contaminate. It does feel just like eating corn or soy.

Well that ruins my today / tomorrow.

Dogs are remarkably intelligent.

Look at this one helping out his doggy buddy.
