EDIT:
Wow, First time on the front page! Thanks for the liking my shitposting!
I wanted to show my support as a Canadian for the battle down south to preserve net neutrality. Keep up the fantastic pressure you're putting up, you beautiful people! I know this is a crass meme, but I don't think it hurts to keep the topic at the forefront..
Also wanted to clear something up: I'm an anthropologist, and I can confirm that human crania do indeed vary from population to population, and across time/species. Craniometric analysis to determine ancestry in particular used to be my jam, but I've since moved on to cultural anthro. Remember, "race" is social construct (with real consequences), and does not represent human ancestry and genetic variation accurately. Finally, please don't take this meme too seriously.. the point is to draw attention to Net Neutrality!
Be kind to each other!

Instead of a human skull it should be a picture of a computer.

400,000 comments on Facebook supporting the end of Net Neutrality have been traced to Russia.

Even after the DNC and liberal media comes out, admitting the Russian Narrative is baseless - us good comrades, we still believe. T_T7

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand such high-quality Imgur memes.

You mean people that don't understand it's not net neutrality.

I understand the reference, but I don't think Ajit is upset by it, and I don't like seeing a great movie being associated with Ajit.

That’s my point. It’s sarcasm. All of this flak will bounce of him because of the kickbacks he’ll be pocketing. And it tears me up inside

So just a little TMYK factoid, I'm in dental school and orthodontists are huge on races & facial bone differences so I've seen comparisons.

Beep boop, comrade. I agree. No one could possibly argue the perfection that is Net Neutrality. Ha Ha. Beep boop. Transmission out.

I found this one really funny and unexpected. Good job!

As a forensic scientist, this is incorrect on every level. Except the gay and straight part. But it is a scientific fact that skull shape 1/

Is indicitive of being white black or asian. Or as we call them by their proper name "caucasoid, negroid, or mongoloid"
darkclaw89
I'm an anthropologist, so I understand your frustration. But this wasn't meant to be taken seriously, the point was to call out the NN issue
OverlordEd
Yes, its a noble effort. And I figured that, but I would be doing myself a disservice to just let it be.

I can't blame you because I probably would have done the same! Cheers!

According to that 2nd graph it looks uncertain. I agree from a financial viewpoint more money means more money but that question is loaded
Cptmike
It's basically asking, will video or content distribution companies benefit from faster internet connections. Yes they would.
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
Indeed, but it is skewed strongly towards anti-NN: only 14% disagree - and 0% strongly disagree - with the anti-NN position.
Cptmike
"but there seem to be other considerations." or " ISPs will play favorites, but that should be preventable." are not the strongest arguments
Cptmike
The real question should be more like "is it a good idea to allow isps to regulate content providers reach based on financial incentives"
BaronVonMadScience
Oh wow, companies will make more money from removing regulations? Great! I never, ever knew this! What are we waiting for guys???
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
Economists were asked whether it was a good idea, not whether companies made more money.
BaronVonMadScience
Yeah, they weren't asked if it was good morally, or a good for consumers, so of course economists were going to answer yes economically. 1/2

Having access to a skull is the easiest way to identify race.
Whwat
?
MistressLyda
The bone structure is quite different between the "races".
cherryoutput
Why did you put "races"?
ImgurCommunityShitposter
Woah, woah, woah. Easy there Professor. Maybe you don't know that every race is EXACTLY the same and it's RACIST to notice differences! /s
SmartHasTheBrainsButStupidHasTheBalls
I dunno, I think family histories are pretty good for this.
brownribbon
But aren't there some real, measurable differences in skull shapes between races?
darkclaw89
Definitely! This is just too good of a meme to pass up.
GodEmperorLetoAtreidesII
Yes, but not the point of races being a freaking Australopithicus Afarensis. Even then, it's more of an ethnicity and geographical ancestry.
rizion
yes
GodEmperorLetoAtreidesII
Race is not the same thing as heritage or ethnicity or population genetics. (1/2)
ImgurCommunityShitposter
What is this nonsense pseudo-science? "Phenotypes". Get that racist rap outta my face, "God Emperor". D-d-down boated!
GodEmperorLetoAtreidesII
Genetics show pretty clearly that there are no clearly bound phenotypes that line up specifically in clear racial categories.

Im pretty sure of that too. Age, sex, and race.
ImgurCommunityShitposter
Looks like Doctor Bones got a Gender Studies degree. Next you're going to say all those obese people aren't actually "Big Boned", right?
brownribbon
Well age certainly makes sense. I'm not going to confuse a 3 year old's skull with that of a 40 year old.
ImgurCommunityShitposter
But I thought age wasn't a thing but a number! This is age discrimination! Ageist!
SquirtleSquad420
you can tell the difference between a 40 and 80 year old skull too. IIRC its not surface level though, you would have to use a microscope.

As a Canadian, thanks to everyone south of the border for putting the pressure on. Keep up the good work!

This (((anthropologist))) thinks all skulls are the same until 2015. Somethin ain't right.

I always thought there are subtle differences in skull structure between races. That's what anatomy taught me. Mostly the same yes
darkclaw89
Most definitely! This just works so well as a meme.
trescatorcedieciseis
Yes there are some differences in the shape of the orbits, the nose and the cranium between races

From what I remember, some forensics experts can actually tell race in broad terms by looking at subtle skull cues.
ImgurCommunityShitposter
Careful. That science is RACIST!
tomyironmane
nah, it is what it is. Your skull won't look *exactly* like mine. but it at least doesn't look like Ajit pai's

I hate that I have to upvote your pro-NN comment simply because of how well you countered my subversion. Damn you, Ironmane.

I watched Bones once, and that weird lady could determine race by the skull. TV has never lied to me, unlike my mom.
Quetico8
Your mom has never lied to me. She said you were a nice person and I see it's true.

Definitely! I've done that kind of work. This is just too good a meme to not use.
