Woah there, the Jews are fully capable of defending themselves but don't you think we should send free stuff to them anyways because they are so cool?

I doubt the Saudis would stay on Israel’s side if we were out of the picture

@Alex Kolchak - NY Awesome, really look forward to meeting with you. I agree with like 95% of your takes.

I'm putting that on my resume

@StevePines -WA good point Israel is so BASED and COOL with how they defeated the Arabs totally single handedly

We're all *pretty* similar but it's rare that someone has such a similar mindset.

Hell yeah, gotta keep out those Muslims who only hate us because we fight for Israel

@Papa Pizzagate I think we spoke for about 5 seconds in DC, but looking forward to properly meeting you 🍻

DC....Oh, I think I know who you are.

*uh oh*

I have a reputation

Yeah, sadly I have long surpassed my Dunbar number.

"ability to put a name to every face on command"

But I am sure I will remember you

The Dunbar number that is generally given seems way too high

No way I can maintain stable social relations with 150 people

Huh,

I guess I had my definition a bit skewed.

Inclined to agree here, Jacob.

" Dunbar explained it informally as "the number of people you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar".

@Asatru Artist - MD I wouldn’t get used to it

Pretty sure you're both Tolkien nerds, no?

" This number was first proposed in the 1990s by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who found a correlation between primate brain size and average social group size."

Uhh oh, does this mean that if you don't have a Chad 150 person social group, you're literally small brained?

"Dunbar theorised that "this limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this in turn limits group size [...] the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained"."

Any Chads here with a massive neocortex?

let me break out the ruler real quick and check

About to pick up my new dog today <:teehee:381917632359563264>

Quick survey: how many "stable social relations" do you guys have right now?

I'm trying to find out how accurate this Dunbar number is

Well they are supposed to be green skinned so I dunno

Define stable social relationship

She's a retreiver mix, I'm adopting her

There was a Pitt there that was super nice but I'm not a huge fan

Nooo!! I must get Santa hat

My apartment has a thing against them and he was put in for resource guarding

Basically he doesn't get along with others well

He was super buff tho

@William Russell Ya, that's the thing, it's hard to define. Dunbar defined it informally as the number of people you'd feel comfortable joining uninvited at a bar, but I'd be a bit unconfirmed doing that to *anyone*.

I would say anyone you talk to regularly. Like, they could contact you right now and you wouldn't think anything of it.

@StevePines -WA Should have gotten a German Shepherd because blacks don't like them

@Jacob I’ve got a solid 10 twitter followers so there’s that 😎
