Relatively well-known, in any case.

Dawkins did contribute to gaming culture, he created the concept of memes.

And he's a pioneer of arguing on the internet, he still gets the best hate mail from the creationists.

Just this week, the new Miss America, an astonishingly beautiful black woman with a nuclear physics degree, gets racist comments, death and rape threats because she made sure to say in her speech that she isn't a feminist and that men and women have equal opportunities, as long as they put an effort to it. Internet feminists are ok with this.

Sweden makes a list of people it finds hateful and opressive towards minorities, puts richard dawkins, jontron and pewdiepie in it.

Also EU propaganda is on the level of north korean cartoons.

What a time to be alive.

You want to know what this reminds me of more then anything else?

Once upon a time a flea was taken and put into a jar. Everyday when it tried to jump they would hit its heads on the lid.

This happened each, and everyday. No matter how many times it did so, it would always hit its heads against the lid.

Then one day the lid was no longer there... but the Flea stopped jumping long ago.

---

There is more to this story (For example someone tells the flea the lid is gone, but it still refuses to jump)... But I think when people want to harass someone along these lines should try to ensure they are not agents of disenfranchisement.

Operant conditioning and learned helplessness are for real.

I don't know what either of those are.

Also, Neon, that's morbid.

bad AzyWng! Learn to google!

*gives AzyWng electric shock*

(that's operant conditioning)

~~~

Learned helplessness is when you punish a person/animal for doing something, and eventually they avoid doing it even when the punishment no longer exists.

~~~

The creepiest one however is how easy it is to instill "group norms" even when the original reason for doing the action is removed. Merely it being the group norm causes most people to do the nonsensical actions, even when those who set up the "rules" have long gone:

I don't think Dawkins was that important to begin with  tbh. He's far more famous for his views on religion and the lack of thereof thann anything else, I think

Those views may be what he's famous for, but he did do some genuinely useful work before he became an arrogant, condescending piece of shit.

One thing I find funny about Cat species...

Is that they all look VERY similar as Kittens. A few cat species if you don't know what to look for you honestly can confuse their kittens for ordinary house cat kittens.

I know a few other species are similar like Rabbits... But even fully grown they often look very similar.

Also DAMN CLICK BAIT!!!

I see a video for 8 reasons why the location in Prey was already a death trap.

I click and what do you know... it is filled with things that were likely only the case AFTER.

I know, how about the fact that the glass floors are apparently really brittle and can be completely broken with a moderate swing of a wrench?
