Only in your inbox as far as I can tell.

Yell loudly for moderators to come rescue you. I recommend ALL CAPS.

You don't know what newtonian means, do you?

Errr.. That's when you find a newt on Ian, right? Unfortunate situation for a newt, I think. But not so bad for Ian -- it could have been a non-newt. An elephant, for example.

Whenever a place sinks into the #NeverTrump pit of stupidity, it never crawls back out.

Trump won because the left forgot how to argue rationally, and Trump knew how to make his supporters feel smart for not believing the paranoid moronic more-biased-every-day media. Trump outsmarted every leftist on the planet. At this point, he deserves America, and if he turns out to be half as bad as the libtards say he's going to be, he'll be kicked out in seconds. So why care? Why try to work people up into a paranoid frenzy, when that's failed once before and it'll fail again and again until the left learns how to admit its many flaws and mistakes and learn from them?

You know what you were saying about "the #NeverTrump pit of stupidity"? Things like "libtard" are the same thing on the other side. Do you seriously believe that that sort of terminology helps produce productive discussions?

What is Feminism doing here? What are we, the Rationalists, or the Irrationalists?

0gjm
Some people, for whatever reason, find themselves with a strong conviction that they should be, or that they really are, of a different gender from the one their body-type seems to indicate. Those people are called "trans", short for "transgender", for kinda obvious reasons. Most people don't. Those people are called "cis", because traditionally when an opposite of "trans" is needed "cis" is it. (Cisalpine. Cismontane. Cis fats.) Do please explain what in the foregoing paragraph depends on "feminism" in any sense that anyone could object to, or requires "irrationalism".

Chapter two is up. Would you like to read it, or would you like to giggle about your Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup fantasies?

0Lumifer
Oh, I always choose to giggle.

What situation? He had that under control. That kid's head merging with his ass? Might as well throw subtlety out the window and state it directly: JOJO'S STAND DID THAT.

0Lumifer
Don't forget the non-newtonian fluid. That's 'cause the Powerpuff Girls weren't there.

What?

This is JJBA, not Powerpuff Girls. You'd know this if you noticed that this story's Jojo is a good guy.

And that is justified in canon. Jonathan Joestar-Summers has a Stand, you'll see it soon.

0Lumifer
All I'm saying is that the Powerpuff Girls warping in have a chance to improve the situation.

No, really, what?

What "Different rules" could someone use to decide what to believe, besides "Because logic and science say so"? "Because my God said so"? "Because these tea leaves said so"?

0hairyfigment
Yes, but as it happens that kind of difference is unnecessary in the abstract. Besides the point I mentioned earlier, you could have a logical set of assumptions for "self-hating arithmetic" that proves arithmetic contradicts itself. Completely unnecessary details here.
0I_D_Sparse
Unfortunately, yes.

Inspired by HPMOR. After his wife died in a carriage crash, George Joestar remarried himself to a bright young author hiding her works under a pen name, and their son grew up with a taste for literature and the strength of mind necessary for a Stand. Then came his research on the Stone Mask, and a world of intriguing new possibilities to exploit.

0Lumifer
Oh, boy. A quote from there: I do hope Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup show up soon.

I read it.

Which is better, rationalreads.com or rationalfiction.io?

0username2
Um, no, it is not. There were some reading threads about it when it came out, but this isn't a fan site for HPMoR. There are other places on the internet for that.

It would make more sense if C-sections were better. After all, nature is notoriously irrational and inefficient.

0Viliam
Scar tissue is less flexible than the original one, and flexibility in the areas that need to be stretched during childbirth is important. Having a C-section when you don't need one increases the chance that the next time you will need one. ...which probably doesn't seem like a problem if you have already decided to have C-sections only. Arguably, doing childbirth the "unnatural" way can mess up with your or your baby's instincts, because they were evolved expecting certain circumstances. Some instincts depend on timing. I am not sure if this is the situation here, but some people prefer to play it safe. Seems to me that frequently used arguments for (medically unnecessary) C-section is that it is supposed to be less painful and heal better. As far as I know, the better healing was never proved empirically; and with pain it seems like you are kinda trading more intense pain in short time for less intense pain in long time; but I am not certain about these two things.

Interest Check - HPMOR inspired me to try and write a Rational fanfic. I've decided to rationalize Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Where should I publish this work?

0ArisKatsaris
Try also https://www.reddit.com/r/rational/

Quite right! Who even came up with "Don't shave yaks"? It sounds like something someone too lazy to shave some damn yaks and get the problem fixed would invent to justify not solving the problem!

I've decided I'm going to write... Rational Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

The wiki said I need more karma to post outside of this thread.

That sounds wonderful. I've lived alone almost my whole life... It'd be nice to have a family.

This is what happens when you believe feminism.

Still, I must give the "Scientists" credit for actually admitting when they were wrong. Of course, if they didn't, audiences would have said it for them.

Am I meant to post my fanfic on Fanfiction.Net or Archive of our own?

Feminist thought: "Men have power and that's sexist. Smash the patriarchy!"

Anti-Feminist thought: "Feminism has too many bad eggs".

Feminist thought: "You can't say that, you racist sexist bigoted bigot!"

Shit, that's good. How do I upvote you?

0Viliam
First you have to get enough karma by posting comments that will be upvoted by others.

What's up? I've read up to chapter 40 of HPMOR, and I thought I'd try talking on its forum.

You mean /r/hpmor?
