I spent time answering this earlier, before you deleted. I am busy, and you are in any case misreading my words, so we'll end it here.

I think 'race traitors' is a disgusting term, and the concept of race a dangerous, misguided, unscientific one.

And the more unscientific it is, the easier it seems to be for the Braverman Tendency to follow. I confidently predict that she will be swinging Lowe, and in the Restore Party in the next year.

MostHatedTools — which would you rather delete from your life?
One endless vote: which tool would you rather delete from your life? Jira or Outlook? Teams or Slack? Unscientific, opinionated, and addictive.

My very unscientific take is that it's a lot harder to get away with now. Now we have cell phone tracking, DNA and (for better or worse) surveillance. Home security systems were only accessible to the rich. Plus people still did stupid things like hitchhiking and leaving doors unlocked.

The Bright Side:
Highlighting the vast, non-binary complexity of biological reproduction challenges rigid, unscientific assumptions about nature being strictly static or simple.

“You shouldn't get a new trial because you should have known at the time of your trial that our expert witnesses were giving false, unscientific testimony and now it's too late for you to challenge it” is really an argument that prosecutors will make.

In my very unscientific assessment, birds are also autistic. Mostly nonverbal, sensory seeking, picky eaters, OCD, routine oriented & incredibly observant of everything going on around them— but the minute they know they’re are being perceived they fly away as fast as they can.

"As the former FTC chair Lina Khan has repeatedly reminded us, there is no exemption from the law when it comes to AI: there are existing laws that federal agencies and other regulators can enforce to protect the public against the AI industry’s unsafe and unscientific practices of pushing […]

My entirely unscientific summary of the Stuff Kingmakers Debate:
Two articulate leaders — Swarbrick and Wong.
One angry grandpa — Peters.
One “investors matter; investing in people, not so much” — Seymour.
And one leader who simply didn’t get enough airtime — Waititi.

« The peak is widely expected to be about 4°C anywhere from Nov-Feb '27, the most powerful El Niño in at least a thousand years. It is so far beyond Super size that scientists are using highly unscientific terms for it: jaw dropping, mind blowing, Godzilla-like. »

Make sure to report your therapist immediately if they say some unscientific bullshit.

yeah it gets me high too, maybe we should do a rigorous unscientific study

Elon has been criticized for making unscientific and misleading statements, including spreading COVID-19 misinformation, promoting conspiracy theories, and affirming antisemitic, white nationalist, racist, and transphobic comments.

Yeah, even if it wasn't obvious, the moment you run it through one of these things, you lose control of the output and it becomes unscientific

Right, it was an unscientific, flawed, and ultimately immoral "study" that got famous for confirming terrible people's biases. "Let's do it again but for entertainment" ok Netflix do whatever evil you want everything is just allowed now

This is completely unscientific, and mostly runs counter to all of my sports fan ethos.

But I don’t think there’s a single team in baseball that the Jays could beat in a line brawl. And I think that might be a problem…?
