He and I* Remove "and I" to figure out whether to use He or Him, and remove "He and" to figure out when to use "& I" or "& me".

Disagree. Profit is not the same as greed, and corporations regularly make decisions that are not profitably in the short or long term. Look at the rise in DEI! As soon as rates went up, a lot of that started getting cut. That strongly sugg

People do things for reasons other than greed.

Citation needed. They will have an outsized effect on children (everything does due to their rapid growth, and longer time to bioaccumulate). There is not currently pressing evidence of harm, but little study has been done in children, and

Correlation. The article notes sugar consumption was dropping for over a decade before the tax. It is also dropping over the same period in comparable non-tax countries. "Science journalism" is often a net-negative in terms of inf

Yes you do. You're being over-literal. "Noise" in context doesn't mean random characters, it means garbage or spam or content not worth your while.

The EU exists to subsidise EU businesses by taxing (fining) American ones. Why is it okay to sell a bundle that has spreadsheets and emails but not messaging and conferencing?

But this is claiming that the letter does not exist, while allowing you to read the contents of the letter. If it can show you the content, the container must exist!

Yes, democracy can vote to end itself and replace itself with autocracy. If not, it's not democracy! You're deciding to overrule the demos and enforce your minority opinion! I know it seems like pedantry but we shouldn't conf

by Wolfenstein98k 2y ago
If the leaders do so based on majority opinion, that is democratic. Too many people - usually Americans - confuse liberal democracy with democracy. Liberal democracy is a phrase for a reason - and the liberal comes first for a reason!

Again, liberalism. If a supermajority opposes free press, it would be undemocratic to force it upon them.

by Wolfenstein98k 2y ago
There's nothing undemocratic about banning foreign propaganda or news outlets. Illiberal maybe, but not undemocratic.

It was very interesting. It revealed a lot of influence-pedalling and strongly implied Joe Biden profits from it, or at least facilitates his son profiting from it. Not a shred of its contents were ever disproven, but much was corroborated.

The Biden laptop story is the best-known recent example. Many relatively "factual" outlets refused to cover it, whereas if it were beneficial to the liberal cause, you know they'd have done the 12-36 goes hours of work requ

Read "non-white", "non-straight", and/or "non-male" in place of "diversity" and you will see that it works 100% of the time.

That's because he forced the issue by going to every outlet he could, mostly liberal ones, and he was right too. He'd be buried if he didn't and wasn't.

Given the allegations that Israel is intentionally killing children and journalists and aid workers, it is a wonder there are any Gazans left.

True, it's a fact. It's also a fact that few of these people were jocks. So it obviously selected for non-jocks, maybe even for geeks. Now why didn't CNN feel the need to point that out? Why did they choose to only comment on

Name a food product that "causes obesity and diabetes", if calorie-matched. (Eg if you replace 150 calories of the closest unprocessed equivalent with 150 of this ultra-processed version)

by Wolfenstein98k 3y ago
It is probably true that eating lots of processed food robs your body of the chance to digest unprocessed foods via displacement. But again, that doesn't mean processing does harm - it's just your responsibility to include "w

You can't criticise free markets where there is no market, let alone a free one. "Supply and demand" is not a free market claim, it is accepted by everyone. I'm just pointing out that the NHS exchanges monetary cost with

If your claim is as it appears - "this study may not have adjusted for population growth" - you could just click the link and check, rather than spread doubt and uncertainty. As it stands, the population has not grown 80% in the t

Daily reminder that there is no evidence that the processing of food makes it harmful. It may remove nutrients or make foods less "healthful", but there's no evidence that grinding oats into oat flour makes them suddenly harm
