social justice warrior is a derogative term for overly policially correct people, most known for being on tumblr.

I don't think it's derogative. They seem to use it themselves as well, although I stopped following their drama a while ago so this might have changed.

Oh no they're not overly politically correct. If anything they're often at least as insulting as what they claim to be fighting against.

They're basically a group who view a person's worth as being inversely proportional to how "privileged" (and yes that word is in quotation marks because some of the stuff they say is a privilege is in fact not at all) they are. And that privilege can be reduced by such things as: self-diagnosed fake medical disorders, a non-typical (but isn't really) sexuality, a non-typical (but isn't really) gender identification, or occasionally the rare person with a real actual issue that puts them at a disadvantage to others.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Some start going apeshit if you call a person black, because describing their skin colour is RACIST!
Frankly, I question the accuracy of describing any person as black unless  they're a chimneysweeper or Nyarlathotep. (Note that those two aren't mutually exclusive.)

"And though I walk into the valley of the shadow of death, I will something something, for something something, something something."

Never mind. I always forget how that one goes.

Dark brown would be more accurate, but it sounds weird to say that.

Yea, though I may walk into the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am driving a house sized mass of 'FUCK YOU!'
That's the one :P

Just watched Requiem For A Dream. o_o
It's a great film, but gawd.

It's about the most appropriate place for the word 'intense' I've come across.
Funnily enough, 'intense' is pretty much the one word I'd had it described to me as. My brother was certainly right there, heh.
I guess I'd heard it referenced somewhere that gave me some idea of the themes involved, but I really had no idea what to expect.

Have you seen Ugandans and such? Black people in the Americas have been so mixed that they're fairly light-skinned compared to people who only have black African ancestors. Europe might be different, I think you guys probably have more recent African immigrants, who might not have as many white ancestors as the America's black people.

I always thought it was "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for I am the meanest fucker in the valley."

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

There's huge differences within Africa as well, because humans have been around there for so long. I read once that if you randomly take two Africans and two non-Africans, the two non-Africans are probably more closely related than the two Africans.
