It took me about three questions before this artificial intelligence computer program insulted me. I insulted back.
I may never talk to artificial intelligence again.

Scientists claim they can change your belief on immigrants and God – with MAGNETS
Billy Joel sang that he once believed in causes too and had a pointless point of view..
And then magnets came along.
If we are to believe this study that even a British rag called ‘bizarre’ then we will have to conclude this:
Using a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), researchers safely shut down certain groups of neurones in the brains of volunteers.
TMS, which is used to treat depression, involves placing a large electromagnetic coil against the scalp which creates electric currents that stimulate nerve cells in the region of the brain involved in mood control.
Researchers found the technique radically altered religious perceptions and prejudice.
Belief in God was reduced almost by a third, while participants became 28.5 per cent less bothered by immigration numbers.
How long until the Republican and Democratic campaign committees begin employing magnet power at conventions or rallies?

How's this for a headline from a reputable mainstream source of science information: "Has Kepler Discovered an Alien Megastructure? "
All of this from DISCOVERY:
A star, named KIC 8462852, has been found with a highly curious transit signal. In a paper submitted to the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, astronomers, including citizen scientists from the Planet Hunters crowdsourcing program, report: “Over the duration of the Kepler mission, KIC 8462852 was observed to undergo irregularly shaped, aperiodic dips in flux down to below the 20 percent level.”
The research paper is thorough, describing the phenomenon, pointing out that this star is unique - we’ve seen nothing like it. Kepler has collected data on this star steadily for four years. It’s not instrumental error. Kepler isn’t seeing things; the signal is real.
“We’d never seen anything like this star,” Tabetha Boyajian, a postdoctorate researcher at Yale University and lead author, told The Atlantic. “It was really weird. We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out.”
‘Alien megastructure’ sounds like a headline purely meant to stir up interest.. And I am interested.

Bernie won all the focus groups and online polls — so why is the media saying Hillary won the debate?
The same reason that Ron Paul won all of the Republican debates in 08 and 12 but was never credited for it.
People who have true passions and beliefs are so often .. well.. ignored.
The mainstream wants who they want.
And they don’t want Bernie, the same as they didn’t want Ron Paul.
The true match made in heaven for America would actually be the libertarian free wheeling Paul vs the man of the people socialist Sanders. That, really, would be a ‘choice’ ..

Great, great video..
This is one of the best lessons I have seen if someone wants to understand quantum physics or quantum mechanics.
A watch worth watching..

A brutal ritual where girls as young as 10 are forced to have their breasts pounded and burned with hot stones to disguise signs of pubescent development could be on the rise in Britain, campaigners warn.
Breast ironing, a process which involves using stones, hammers or hot spatulas to mutilate breast tissue, is often performed by mothers intending to prevent their daughters from being sexually harassed or raped.

THE PAST IN COLOR!
1928 AS IT WAS.. PHOTOGRAPHED BY A CLIFTON R. ADAMS FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC IN AUTOCHROME..
And seen now.
IN the 21st century..
The past is amazing when you see it as it was..
History is funny like that. It does not seem real until you see it more like it was.. in real ways.. in color. As it was to people then.
Then it seems real.
Very real..

'Phubbing' is ruining American relationships
According to a survey of more than 400 individuals by Baylor University, 46.3% of respondents said their partners snubbed them by taking to their phones, or “phubbed” them. And 22.6% said it “caused issues” in their relationship.
I never heard this term until today.
I’ve been phubbed before and may have phubbed back..
It hasn’t ruined my relationships but it apparently can be a killer of them.
Unless you’re in love with your phone.
Phub away.

PAN burned in weekend box office
There’s two things big blockbuster flicks hate: Bad reviews and bad income. PAN had both, ending the weekend with only $15 mil from 3500 theaters.. Strong. Or weak.. And with that..
