  • It's a really hard mindset to break because at it's surface it make sense. Especially when you focus on fringe cases.

    Like I am sure there are people who abuse the system, but it's not a good life, they don't make that much off of it. No one is living large off welfare. The "welfare queen" stereotype had been by and large disproven, but has left a lasting effect on people's opinion.

    Personally I rather have a few $ slip through and make sure kids arn't starving.

  • A big part of it is the view that the left "gives money away". Union jobs are typically labor with long hous and their view is that "I work hard for the money I eared and my taxes go to the lazy".

    I think that's bullshit obviously, but that is a pretty common sentiment from my experience.

  • He is talking to the gurney.

  • He's so close! Somehow his racism took him down a weird convoluted path and ended up with gun control.

  • There is a difference between feasibility hype and adoption hype. The hype about it being possible at all has passed. But the true hype relevant to the graph is when it is implemented in the general economy, outside of labs and research facilities.

  • Cows naturally produce milk, I am sure there is no unethical practices there.

  • West coast caves are safer apparently. /s

  • Political violence cuts both ways. I don't think anyone thinks what happens to politicians go against the cartels in Mexico is good or healthy system. For democracy to work we can't have people constantly fear for their lives. Sure Trump is a terrible human being but I don't want my candidates living with the same fear. So our only choice is to condem it. Also when bad acting becomes the norm bad actors will thrive. If political assassinations becomes the norm do you think morally justified "good guys" assassin going after Hitlers are going to win/out pace organized crime like what we see in Mexico?

    At the end of the day ends don't justify the means. Violence breeds Violence. In this modern age if we want to create a peaceful society we have to do it peacefully. Violence might be an appealing means to an end and while we might have the moral high ground but they use the same logic to justify their violence.

  • The Left isn't going to any extremes. They do almost nothing and it is what is allowing the right to swing to their extremes. This "both sides" take is disingenuous at best. A better analogy is the american people are strapped to a guillotine, the right is ready to release the blade and the left is still trying to debate and dicuss the merits of not dropping it.

  • He hasn't gotten time to end world hunger because he can't control himself and is distracted perving. It's why the church is so against it.

  • For his voters, his lies and fabrications are the truth. They don't listen to fact checking because they are conditioned to see it as fake and a goverment ploy to fool them.

  • He would look even better if it went through and people felt the relief. It's a win-bigger win for Biden, Republicans chose smaller win.

  • Sea water is about 3 to 3.5% denser than fresh. So you are right you float better in normal sea water but not by much. So he still sinks. Although, the dead sea which 9.6 times as salty at sea water gets to 24% heavier.

  • It depends alot on body fat content. Fat floats. My BIL is very slim and muscular and he sinks like a rock.

  • There are still waves. Imagine if the sea isn't calm. People already can't stay alive forever in the water. This might not be a "fresh" capable person after a long day of sun and swimming. Add the panic of rapidly being sucked out to open water. Even the strongest swimmers could succumb in certain conditions. Even if you get out how long can most people tred water and fight waves for?

  • The alternative is absolutely unfathomable. Like I am an atheist and the fact we exist in any capacity is insane. Where did everything come from? Where will it go? People believe in religion because it's easier.

    When I have an existential crisis over it I sometimes wish I was religious.

  • In my experience a Resume is a one page. A CV is 2-3.

  • My friends getting their PhDs had a really hard time getting theirs and almost had to leave the country.
