Agree Democrats are largely ineffective and incompetent. But countering propaganda is way harder than spreading propaganda. It's easier to spread all over right-wing media that Dem…

I don't know much about coups actually work, but a general does not make an army. A general that wants to stage a coup seems like they must still require the support of the troops.…

There is absolutely no possible way that you (or any other person) would notice a 4 inch GLOBAL AVERAGE rise in sea level over the last few decades. I don't care if you literally s…

Can you clarify? Are you saying that locations of the hurricanes have not changed, it's merely that there are now people/structures there so it's now noticeable? Or that humans are…

I feel like there is no good way to market the fact that some school districts are banning the dictionary to comply with all the "word" and "thought" ban laws. Like how do you spin…

Isn't that a different problem entirely? The original is that the host reveals a door without the prize. Aren't you modeling an entirely different problem as opposed to modeling th…

It's typically considered an anti-American, anti-freedom ideology in the US to require people to carry any sort of documents, including ID. Of course, this idea is slowly being ero…

That's because the center doesn't work for many things. If you support individual patients making their own healthcare decisions with their doctors, how do you find the center with…

On par? I mean, alcohol will literally kill you if you drink too much or have prolonged exposure. Alcohol makes you sick and fat. If anything, alcohol is far worse than cannibas. T…

Have you ever served? In combat? I have, USMC infantry. I want a professional fighting force with smart of professional fighters and support. Yes, you need mental toughness. But if…

The "government" does not deem it harmful though. This is pure politics.

Do you mean like the way Philando Castile was calm, reasonable, and cooperative while being executed after being stopped for a break light issue? What about Charles Kinsey who was …

Source or examples?

I've never heard of one either. The first time I was introduced to an uncertainty principle for the DFT was in time-frequency analysis which exists due to not being able to know bo…

The only time I've ever ran into a stack limitation was real-time embedded systems with a tiny stack. For modern computers/tablets I have never experienced an issue. Granted, what …

Not only that, a car is basically a requirement for life in the US. With a complete lack of decent public transportation in the majority of the US, couples with a lack of walkable …

Pardon makes it possible/easier to have your record expunged. These pardons also effectively decriminalize possession at the federal level. It's far from an empty gesture. But at t…

Not really. His promise was to build the wall AND make Mexico pay for it. At one point congress agreed to give him almost $6 Billion to build the wall and he turned it down, never …

Can you name some specific people cheering the riots and destruction? FYI, there were literally millions of protesters across the US and only a tint fraction caused damage. The two…

Can two thing not be true? 1. the climate has always changed. 2. the rate of change depends on a lot things, among them how much green house gases exist in the atmosphere. You have…

What are some examples of them being anti-American or passing misinformation?

Why link to an opinion piece by an author with a known right-wing bias? The article was paywalled but the fact that it is an opinion peace and the biased reputation of the author m…

It absolutely matters what other people believe if they also want to make laws and rules based on those beliefs.

Is it really a handwave to say we don't know? Sound pretty logical as opposed to just making something up or parroting some origin story like people have been doing for 1000s of ye…

This is what so many people miss. Any time you have power over the public (e.g., a cop), or present yourself as an expert in a way the affects the public (e.g., a medical doctor, c…
