I watched Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love a few years ago. His life was certainly interesting, but he didn’t seem like a great person. Letting a young child in your care take psychedelics out a bad taste in my mouth.

The U.S. is 12th in countries ranked by debt-to-GDP. Only Venezuela, Japan, Sudan, Greece, Lebanon, Cabo Verde, Italy, Libya, Portugal, Singapore, and Bahrain. Not exactly the 11 healthiest economies I’ve ever seen. Being the reserve curren

Conjecture not well supported by evidence is not mutually exclusive with making an argument. In fact, that’s what people are saying: OP was making a bad argument [because it’s conjecture].

They did make an argument by the way they framed their question. Let's say the only evidence of long covid can also be explained by people lying. The way their question is framed makes it sound like we should assume lying is the most l
