  • The Democrats are the undisputed masters of gaslighting

  • I love these asinine takes. I've yet to have a single person come up with a convincing argument about how I helped Trump, but let's see you give it a shot.

    I didn't vote for Kamala(or Trump, before some braindead moron claims otherwise)

    I live in California.

    California historically has voted blue for the last ~60 years.

    Predictably, Kamala won California by a large margin like any sane person expected.

    So how did my vote help Trump? I showed my displeasure with the Democrat Party AND Kamala still got my states electoral votes regardless. So how, exactly, did my vote support Trump?

    Or is there actually a shitload of nuance to this issue that you conveniently throw out the window? This is a braindead MAGA level cope.

  • What's with all of the people thinking this is unsafe? They act like the pre-existing arch wasn't already there and that you're not just adding a decorative, non-load bearing wall with a door....

  • If only it were built in an arch that's already architecturally sound.... This addition doesn't support anything. It's like thinking the garage door supports the roof above it.

  • Well it's a good thing we have scientists doing things like measuring carbon in layers of soil to tell us that no, the indigenous weren't altering the planet like that and were allowing the natural fires to burn regularly.

    Stop "guessing" and do some actual research on the subject. They literally tried to teach us about it when we colonized, but "white man so superior" didn't listen. And this is coming from a white guy.

    We know who caused the problems. Stop trying to shift this to the indigenous. There not the ones who built massive cities in fire areas and then refused to let any of the forrests there burn, nevermind who ran the industrial revolution.

    We don't have to go back tens of thousands of years because we know when the effects happened because of this amazing thing called science, not "guessing and throwing halfbaked thoughts out and then arguing with people that you must be right". Moron.

  • The indigenous allowed natural burns to happen. They were managing it much closer to correctly. They didn't create the issues. Industrialization/colonization did most it and you can't blame that on indigenous peoples.

  • California wildfires have only been "managed" for the last ~200 years at most. How old do you think the country is? We'd be going back to the way things were a century or two ago, not tens of thousands of years. Tho yes, a lot of megafauna is gone, and we did it in that short of a time. Puts into perspective how damaging humans can be to the environment.

  • I didn't even think about it being the raised hand. Which if that's the case, then what, keep your hands down and your head down too? Don't look at them? Is that what he's trying to say? Bury your head in the sand?

  • The fifth pocket

    Jump

  • Exactly this. Most land management is focused on "how can we make this better for humans" not "how can we make this better for nature". The answer largely is "stop fucking with shit and let it do its own thing and self regulate again".

  • not right

    Jump

  • Yeah, calling protesting "not a smart thing to do" takes this from being great to a completely shit take. I know it's agreeing that he shouldn't have been shot and was peaceful, but also saying "this may not be a smart thing to do" feels way too much like "both sides". Grow some cajones and say it completely. Don't put out this half assed concession. Are we supposed to just sit back and take whatever happens? Are we not allowed to make our voices heard? This is just fascist apologizing.

  • It's barely a science.

    Jump

  • Kinda, but that one's a different edit referencing it coming full circle with philosophy on both sides. The specific edit I'm referring to just has philosophy wayyyyyyy off to the right, doesn't have sociology saying that(which I've never heard before and doesn't make sense) and doesn't have the logicians addition either.

  • It's barely a science.

    Jump

  • I've seen this xkcd expanded with philosophy way off to the right saying something like "hey, what are all of you talking about over there?" since philosophy was the first asking "how?" or "why?" and all the others came later as more directed persuits of those individual questions. Philosophy first and foremost teaches logic and rhetoric, through which all sciences rely on.

  • It's barely a science.

    Jump

  • While I get your point and don't necessarily disagree, I do think it's important to give philosophy a little more credit. Philosophy was what eventually came up with the idea of proving your claims and providing evidence to back that up. Logic and the scientific method were the creations of philosophy. Math was originally a philosophy/religion/cult(the Cult of Pythagoras for one example)devoted to numbers and believing them to be the ultimate answer to the universes questions.

    Philosophy is a soft science, sure, but it's core teachings are fundamental for everything else.

  • A different comment makes a compelling argument for it being an anthropology. If anthropology is "just" psychology of a culture, then economics is a specific offshoot of that, one focusing primarily on trade systems/money use.

  • Thanks for labeling this as AI so we know you can't formulate sentences on your own and aren't worth conversing with in the future. Makes it really easy to add someone to the blocklist when they're the equivalent of email spam.

  • Big. Fucking. Deal.

    Slinging half assed insults isn't gonna solve this and people's obsession with constantly bringing it up like it offends him or his base is retarded.

    Yes it was stupid then and it's just as stupid now when the other side keeps bringing it up.

  • Some Americans. The vast majority aren't doing anything or just complaining in the internet. A HUGE amount on the Internet have the attitude of "someone save us". Most are just sitting back waiting for the "breaking point" and others to start the action so they know it's safe to join in.
