About

I listen to music. A lot of music.
I do chemistry. Slightly less frequently than I listen to music.
I slack on KYM. When I’m not doing chemistry.

this advertisement pic should not be on KYM... CONT'D

I’m not sure what you expect to hear from us. The admins don’t control what ads are displayed. To quote James: We can only try to get the actual ads on the site (header, sidebar, footer) changed if they’re doing things like autoplay with sound. There’s not much that can be done about it. If you really find it that offensive, use Adblock, and/or take it up with the advertising companies.

Bad Translator

Okay this has to be one of the stranger ones. Original text: Bison is not an endangered species. (Note: I lifted this from the back of a Trader Joe’s bison jerky package because that stuff is good) 35 translations later: As part of this security bulletin.

Vocaloid Editors Wanted!

I’m locking this thread, because it seems to have devolved into acrimony. If you still want help with editors for Vocaloid entries, use either of these threads: Need Help With an Entry? Japanese Memes

KYM Summer Reading General

Might I suggest that, if you don’t have the book, you go to the physical library and get a copy? It’s probably easier than finding it online.

So I Wrote an Essay and I Want Your Opinions

Under your concept of ‘preferential relativism’, why does what we think matter? It doesn’t influence what you think. So why bother asking anyone else for their opinion?

KYM Summer Reading General

I’d recommend anything by Flannery O’Connor, on a serious note, or by David Sedaris for humor. Arguably, David Sedaris’ audiobooks are even better than the text versions, since he reads them himself, which makes them infinitely more hilarious.

Liberals - One of the Most Hated Groups on The Internet?

I agree. An entry about politics on the internet is probably a bit too broad. And there is no evidence whatsoever whether one “side” is derided more than the other. Chowz, I think you’re bringing personal bias to this. When it comes to a bias, more people bash liberals than conservatives. I disagree, based on your equivocation of ‘liberals’ with ‘conservatives’. The two categories, so to speak, are very different. The type of person you refer to as ‘liberal’ would likely be more appropriately...

Plot Hole General

The whole concept of FTL travel, in Star Trek and everywhere else, by definition defies the laws of physics. That’s somewhat more egregious, I’d say.

your suspend does not works.

I’ve issued a permanent ban on this user because clearly has no regard for the site’s rules, and his intent was solely to troll.

This mod is harassing me.

I asked you not to post in spam threads, because it’s against site rules. Your responses were: “You can’t tell me what to do” “Your avatar is a Nazi” “What rules am I breaking, the hidden ones?” Let me address these individually: Yes, as a matter of fact, I can tell you what to do. It’s my responsibility, as a moderator, to ensure that the userbase follows the site rules, and to take appropriate action when users don’t. I didn’t give you a formal warning, since you’re new and probably don’t know...

Cousin Marriage.

A few thoughts here: A: There is no ‘Afghani’ people; Afghanistan is populated by Pashtuns, Hazara, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Balochis, etc B: I’m certain there are many, many pure Han Chinese. The same goes for Yamato Japanese and ethnic Koreans. Those populations tend to be exceptionally insular. C: Genetically speaking, the genomic differences between someone and their cousin is great enough that the probability of any offspring bearing genetic defects is much lower than most people expect. A lot of the...
