Man, everything about that article is dumb. From the swastika protesters, to the last paragraph in the article from one of the witnesses

Quote""It's been shown that, biologically, trauma passes down through the generations in your DNA," she said. "My immediate physical reaction was nausea and wanting to cry, so I can't imagine what that must feel like for other people who lost family members in the Holocaust."

I agree with you. Although I remember reading somewhere that recent experiences can be traced through genetics, DNA or whatever. The example as I remember is the starvation winter if '44-'45 in occupied Europe and how that can be traced genetically. I've been thinking about this without finding further data and I can't find the origin. Am I dreaming or do I remember something actual?

That someone saw a swastika and it got into the genetics is just retarded.

I mean, epigenetics can do some interesting stuff to behavior. I don't know if it can do that though, and I suspect any genetic effect is overshadowed by the memetic (cue Raz).

QuoteSo disgusting to watch Twitter's so-called "Trending", where sooo many trends are about me, and never a good one. They look for anything they can find, make it as bad as possible, and blow it up, trying to make it trend. Really ridiculous, illegal, and, of course, very unfair!

The poor snowflake-in-chief. :(

Illegal? Does the government regulate who Twitter can say is trending? Damn.

Everyone asks "what is that pathetic weak loser doing?", but no one asks "how is Trump doing?". :(

He doesn't realize how funny this is:

QuoteTrends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, are tailored for you based on who you follow, your interests, and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular now, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the hottest emerging topics of discussion on Twitter.

That is, not only are the trends determined by algorithm and not some secret cabal, but the reason why Trump keeps seeing critical stuff about him in the trends is that he obsesses over criticism, which causes the algorithm to think he is interested in anti-Trump tweets and thus promote them in his customized trends.

Those algorithms are all screwy.  I keep getting stuff about celebrating my Israeli heritage.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah the Demon Sperm/Alien DNA thing is quite the rabbit hole.

I think the White House has confirmed Trump doesn't agree with those views :lol:

It's typical to get something like that, I think it uses your search history as part of the algorithm.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It has something to do with some doctor associated to Trump who blames sex with demons for a bunch of medical problems.

I can see how sex with demon can leave you fucked up.

That's very reductive. It's sex with demons and witches.
