> Sorry, I depend on science and facts

You should read The magical thinking of guys who love logic. "Science" is not the be-all and end-all of human knowledge.

There is no existing "science" which will accurately predict what the 327 million people of the United States are going to do politically and socially over the next few years, so if your standard for taking action is to wait for the science, you're going to sit around like a useless lump while the United States travels a very dark path.

> Especially when the op actually claims science supports such statements with at least one model and analysis.

That's not what they claimed. They described a "consensus among scholars and survivors." There are plenty of scholars who are not scientists, as you'll see below. What op is referring to is presumably the many warnings that have indeed been raised by scholars and survivors, of which the OP post is one. I'll list just a few of the more prominent ones, but if you search, you'll find many more.

• Timothy Snyder, professor of history at Yale, in his book The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America
  
• Jason Stanley, professor of philosophy at Yale, How Fascism Works
  
• Cass R. Sunstein, professor at Harvard Law School and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy, who is "by far the most cited law professor in the United States," in his book Can It Happen Here?: Authoritarianism in America
  
• Madeline Albright, previously Ambassador to the UN and Secretary of State, in her book Fascism: A Warning
  
• Holocaust survivor Stephen B. Jacobs: https://www.newsweek.com/im-holocaust-survivor-trumps-america-feels-germany-nazis-took-over-876965. There are many more warnings from survivors also, if you look for them.
  
  I'll also point out that it takes effort to produce such a list, so if you take the fact that people you're arguing with just don't bother, perhaps because they perceive you as not worth the effort, you're going to find yourself wallowing in ignorance while at the same time thinking you know it all. Which is precisely the problem that gets us into situations like the current one. If you want to be part of the solution, you have to take responsibility for educating yourself better.

when people claim that the dress code exists to keep students dressed professionally yet something like this is still perfectly dress code acceptable

Wow. there's a lot to unpack there. Lots of anger. You know what'd be awesome? Links. As is your post looks like a psycho rant on a post that's been posted 3 times.

This is how you do it:
People call Trump Hitler (your words, not mine, I'd just call him Fascist). Because he marginalizes free press. He also lies a lot and calls himself a nationalist. There's also articles and books written on this (and even updated!).

While it's certainly a smear (Trump is just almost a fascist). It still holds a lot more validity than this rant.

About CPTSD in general? This book by Pete Walker is a pretty seminal work.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1492871842/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_ZHsPCbTPKG205_nodl

This other one also helped me a lot, because the physiological crap that comes along with CPTSD is every bit as terrible as the emotional component:

https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=URYXV0O6HWS6&keywords=the+body+keeps+the+score&qid=1554327719&s=gateway&sprefix=the+bidy&sr=8-1

Ultimately though, therapy and journaling are going to be your best starting points for your personal recovery. If you can find a therapist that has experience with trauma, that’s your best bet. I would also recommend seeing a general practitioner and a psychiatrist because of the aforementioned physical issues.

The millionaire engineer who is the president of my not-small company is so bad at spelling and grammar that he has me proofread or just type all of his emails and letters before he sends them out. But he's amazing at math. I bought him this mug a few years ago and he proudly placed it front and center on his desk.

I'd eat a sea-salt-caramel PopTart.

If they're willing to make an abomination like Crush Orange Soda PopTarts, they could at least make something good like sea salt caramel.

I got 3 tables:

1. Estimated number of civilian guns per capita by country
   
   
2. List of countries by intentional homicide rate - this is what sane people care about, not that it's gun homicide.
   
   
3. List of countries by average IQ
   
   There were some gaps, and this isn't meant to be exhaustive, and I didn't check the methodology of the source data: Wikipedia is "good enough" for a Reddit comment.
   
   I put it in a spreadsheet and ran a correlation on guns to intentional homicide rate and got a correlation of -0.04359 (or -0.04283 if you chop out gaps).
   
   Civilian gun ownership correlates slightly negatively with intentional homicide rate. Basically no correlation. This could be because the US is more violent than a lot of other countries and DGUs negate that, it could be that guns don’t matter, it could be a coincidence. If anyone tells you that civilian gun ownership raises the intentional homicide rate, they’re lying or uninformed.
   
   Average IQ (which is a proxy for g) correlates moderately negatively with the intentional homicide rate, at -0.35236. That is, the higher the average IQ of a nation, the less intentional homicide there is.
   
   This makes sense to me because, the more intelligent people are, the more opportunities they create for one another and the more likely people are to be able to come to some agreement without homicide. It could also be due to wealth which could be influenced by high IQ or low wealth could be depressing IQ. Probably both.
   
   I suspect this is a better debate to be having, but it gets into hatefact territory. I'd like to see a correlation between social trust/cohesion or time preference and intentional homicide rate, but these are too hard to gather in a short amount of time if they exist at all. IQ is the psychometric with the strongest genetic correlation and has been exhaustively studied. The big 5 personality traits are somewhat looser and still subject to a moderate amount of debate.

Well, you might want to start with the famous Cathy Newman interview which got a lot of attention. Then, you can get to many of his debates from here. If you are interested to learn more about the ideas Dr. Peterson defends, you can see some videos on his youtube channel. There are also cuts from his lectures all over youtube. A random clip from a lecture. He recently published a book 12 rules for life. And this quora segment pretty much sums up all the basic stuff: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-most-valuable-things-everyone-should-know

You mean like this one on Amazon for $1,900? What's that, like 400 pounds more and was the first one I saw?

ONWARD, HERO! FIND THE CHIPS OF LEGEND!

Maybe you could learn a little about sentence structure. There is a really good textbook that can help you.

This is from Amazon but I've also seen this at Walmart

Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen Protective Dark Tannning Sun Care Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 4, 8 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031DKJBI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_j70OCbNK8P60K

Basically! I use the non waterproof version since I wear a different sunscreen on really active days: https://www.amazon.com/Kose-Suncut-Sunscreen-SPF50-Pump160g/dp/B01BBUFCLY/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=kose+suncut&qid=1554205892&s=gateway&sr=8-5&utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

I started using it when I lived in Japan, and it was only like $5 a bottle. I miss that!

That show keeps popping up on my feed, but I've been watching Patriot. Will probably watch that next. Thanks!

If you're like me and you're wondering how much that toilet bowl weight : it's heavy.

It looks a bit like this one
61.3pounds of china material. Porcelain? Let's go with porcelain.
61.3lbs is 27.8Kg in civilized units.
Density of porcelain is 2500Kg/m3
ρ = m/V

That means the volume of a toilet bowl is 0.01112 cubic meter.

Density of 18k gold is 16.5g/cm3, or 16500kg/m3

That means the weight in 18karat gold of the toilet bowl is 183.48kg. 404.5lbs for you barbarians, not including the plumbing or the seat.
We'll probably reach 200kg, 440lbs with those.

That's heavy.

Are you referring to when human development was at a standstill? Sure, caveman.

We didn’t start progressing until trade routes and the exchange of values, ideas and cultures became prevalent though.

Other steps:

Don’t grow more body hair than you’re willing to support.

Use extra strength anti-perspirant, not a deodorant. (I’ve heard this shit works wonders, never tried it myself. my sweat doesn’t smell unless I go HARD. East Asian Genetics what.)

Wash the ducking clothes.

HANG UP THE TOWELS AFTER USING THEM. And—in line with the towel thing-let the rest of your space air out too. Your video game/anime/waifu dungeon needs to breathe.

Off the top of my head... RIP VA Benefits (over time), RIP Tuition Assistance, RIP TAPS/TGPS (it's not even in a classroom anymore, it's another fucking computer-led training [classes might still be in spots, but I work with a lot of people getting out and it's all an online training]), RIP High Three (if you're in and around 12 years, BRS loses you money... and let's face it, most military personnel won't effectively make use of what BRS can give you. And it saves the government money long-term) ... I think Navy COOL got gutted slightly, but nothing specific comes to mind, so I'm probably wrong. COOL has always been awesome, though. Not sure if other branches have something like it, but I hope for their sake, they do.

Edit: More to the point, you're right. Ludicrous spending in the military isn't on it's service members, it's on hardware (the amount of some things, and the insane price we pay for parts). I remember having to buy a HDD one time for a shot GCCSM computer, paid about a buck a gig ($250 for a 250GB HDD. In 2010). Not to mention the MAMs we had, which in my division alone accounted for millions of dollars of parts sitting around for troubleshooting (not that I lament their existence, they were useful). The only reason they were so expensive is because some civi somewhere personally QA'd them and jacked the price up... idk, 10000%? I spent two grand on a desktop and that thing rivaled the servers we have on the boat running the ship's LAN, except for storage capacity and maybe the CPU, but I forget what the servers had in them. Bet DOD paid SPAWAR significantly more than 2k for those servers.

Behold, a 250GB Seagate HDD, which was what I had to order. $20. The price didn't fall ~90% in the last 8 years.
