Not real sure how science works? Science evolves as more information is uncovered. certainty is for religion.

"so called scientists"? They're actual fucking scientists. When it comes to an epidemic I will tend to put my trust in the "so called" experts who dedicate their life to studying something like epidemics rather than a failed comedian and conspiracy theorist (Dore) or an ophthalmologist turned...

On the Jimmy Dore show, no less. Not exactly a place that sane people go to gather factual information.

As far as I know, defendants can't force a private trial. I think the public and media have a right to view trials.

I left twitter and facebook because they're just cesspools of stupidity and hate so I may be wrong here, but is the little lightning bolt at the bottom of the the tweet with the words "See the latest COVID-19 information on X" a way to direct people to actual facts on posts that spout bullshit...

It's not only that we're getting dumber and more deplorable, it's that we're fucking proud of how ignorant and shitty we are. Being called an "intellectual" is supposed to be an insult these days.

During my undergrad I had a friend that would frequently drop acid and talk like this thinking it made him sound smart. I'd be studying for a orbital mechanics exam or something and he would start making shit up like he was already an expert on the topic. It was always humorous until it became...

So the Germans sinking ships off the east coast and in the gulf of Mexico wouldn't have gone any further once they cleared out our navy, if they were able to? The fact remains that we live in a globally integrated economy and Americans aren't will to have their prices go up for any reason...

I notice you changed what I wrote to add "mainland". I assume you didn't do that on purpose and it was just going to a part of your response. Does Hawaii not count as an attack on our country? Are you saying that Japan attacked us because we gave naval support to England?

Speaking of WW2, we're lucky that pesky war over there never made it to our shores. what happens to the american economy if the rest of the world is in chaos? that's an actual question. i don't have any data in front of me but what do you think that would look like for us? china takes over...

Your responses are getting dumber by the electron. Are you doing ok? Is there a coded message for help in there somewhere? Do we need to decipher the code by dividing the font size by the number of bolded words and then convert from ascii to text?

It's cute that you think Hannity might be putting this together for the benefit of the country. Shortest answer is that there's no use "debating" people currently at war with reality. The right doesn't give a shit whether their words are true so what's the point in the left debating them...

what about degrees in social work? do art history majors go on to become museum curators (i honestly don't know)? library science degrees? i personally believe all of those careers benefit society and should be treated as such. whether such fields should require degrees is another debate.

I think a smarter strategy would be for the Dems to pick the most moderate republican there is (no idea who) and vote for them, thus totally negating the extremists on the right. Then get some shit done.

https://www.marketplace.org/2023/09/11/is-retail-theft-really-rising/ Heard this interview on NPR(maybe it was the Make Me Smart podcast) and thought it was an interesting discussion on the shoplifting stuff. Data shows that thefts aren't actually increasing much more than expected but the...
