- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 5 days ago:
Is it? I always thought lower life expectancies were dragged down by infant mortality. Basically if you survive the crib you’d likely live into your 70s.
- Comment on For when arguments go off the bottom of The Debate Pyramid 1 week ago:
The problem is if the other person doesn’t go higher. You can completely refute the central claim of their argument. But if they simply respond by essentially shoving their fingers in their ears yelling “I can’t hear you!” the argument will go no further.

- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 2 weeks ago:
As far as institutional trust, you’ll have to decide for yourself IMO. Do you agree with the messaging from the institution? Do you generally trust the people within it? If so, progress, otherwise don’t.
Something I do for this is to look at what the “opposition” says in response to anything salacious or inflammatory. Does the other side address it directly and provide evidence? Do they ignore it? What’s their track record on the subject? Consider the end of Obama’s last term when all the right could talk about was him golfing. Then trump gets in office and golf’s even more. Anyone who botched about Obama and was silent for trump lose a ton of credibility. The exact same thing for the debt. The right was screaming about how much debt Obama added. Then trump goes and adds more in his one term than Obama did in two. Those same critics? Fucking silent.
- Comment on I get texting and driving being a danger. But back in my day you could eat drink change radio stations etc. Why weren't laws implemented back then? 2 weeks ago:
States are likely to have laws against “distracted driving” or “reckless driving”. Those likely encompass much of the driving while texting or fiddling with controls. Unless a cop directly saw the action this are usually charges levied after an accident happens and do nothing to prevent it. Once enough crashes are attributed to a narrower set of actions, public opinion can be swayed to support action against that narrower set. Now with a specific “no texting while driving” law, cops can pull you over simply for holding a phone. They don’t need to see you do something that would constitute “distracted” or “reckless” driving to ticket you.
- Comment on What is in for the antivax in a government? 3 weeks ago:
But they get validation. It’s not just that they think their ideas and information is correct. They are correct and doctors and entire industries are wrong or corrupt. That makes them smarter than those eggheads that went to school for sometimes a decade and have spent further decades with their face in a microscope. After decades of education and dedicated research somehow Cletus from BFE, Dumbfuckistan and Google was able to best them intellectually.
- Comment on erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes? 4 weeks ago:
This might sound weird but I have a Coldplay fetish. That can’t go wrong right?
- Comment on how good are you at lying during job interviews? 1 month ago:
Was being interviewed by a few people at a company. I asked about hours, and they essentially said, “Being a salaried position, it would be the standard 40 hours, but we like to usually work 45-50 a week.” I think they might have heard my brain mentally slamming the door on them so fucking hard cause there were some of those awkward looks.

Well that’s just dangerous! How will I tell them apart from a piñata?
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 1 month ago:
Which begs the question, what happens to the estranged particle that escapes the black hole from hawking radiation.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 1 month ago:
Wouldn’t the hawking radiation need to be a higher rate than the black hole is absorbing matter?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Sounds similar to being told, “At least you’re pretty,” after saying something stupid.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 1 month ago:
Is the recommendation really quarterly? I’ve usually done twice a year but might have to step out up.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 1 month ago:
And it can fairly easily carry on the air. So if air flow can get there, so can dust.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
A lot of people in here saying don’t do it because you might change your mind. They never seem to apply that logic the other direction. There’s lots of parents out there that had kids and only then realized they didn’t want the whole deal. And worse for them, society has driven a nauseating culture of parental worship and idolatry. It makes it impossible to come to grips with that realization. Parents are supposed to unconditionally love and champion their child and constantly profess how thankful they are and how gratifying the whole endeavor is. And that’s just with a “normal” child. If you have a kid with a disability or some kind of handicap that makes parenting exponentially harder you still need to profess your thankfulness! You aren’t allowed to not want to be a parent then. That ship has sailed. Anything less than abject subjugation to the identity of being a parent is condemned.

Fucking hell. I didn’t even know that.
- Comment on Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them? 2 months ago:
No no. Abrego Garcia clearly had “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. That was no photoshop.
- Comment on Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them? 2 months ago:
Pro-tip. Blame it on the dems. His base would eat that shit up. Doesn’t matter that it makes no sense.
- Comment on What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"? 2 months ago:
That’s because that’s how you see the world. It’s hard for you to comprehend someone else not thinking the same way you do.

- Comment on Odds of rolling a 7 with a weighted die 3 months ago:
That’s if it’s perfectly weighted. If it’s weighted to roll a 6, it might not always land on 6. This would lower the chance of rolling a 7 depending on what the overall probability profile is on the weighted die.
