Isn't this more likely just the cover story for a space based death ray? Why pass energy to the ground for your troops, if you can just kill your targets from space?

My personal experience is decades old, but different. I never had an emotional release provided by LSD. Instead, there were enjoyable visual hallucinations, ability to concentrate, and a heightened appreciation of beauty. But then coming d

Another way to express what you're saying is: only the rich should drive. IMHO, we should things the way they are, and spread the true costs of driving across all of society. The rich should pay higher taxes so that they pay more than

I assure you that the person in question is just naturally high energy. She drinks socially, but doesn't do other drugs, prescription or otherwise.

This rings true to me. The smartest person sporadically makes important contributions, but the most energetic person pushes things forward every single day. The most successful person I know has boundless energy at work, and is often used

It's a clear parallel to the way hippies were dismissed as just druggies, without considering the actual points they were making. And with hindsight, we see that in fact, they were making some good points. Someday, the same thing wi

We're in the process of making the same mistake against the Anti-Covid-Mandate people. They're defending freedom and calling attention to government and big-business overreach. And their demonization as Nazi's is more or le

Is there any chance we could vaccinate mice? Perhaps developing an edible version that we could use to help stop them from generating future variants? I can just see anti-vaxxers using this development as proof that 100% vaccination isn&#

When do we start to question these companies more critically? They have a huge financial conflict of interest, ranging in the billions of dollars per year, to push their drugs. Instead, they seem to be treated as pure and altruistic actor

This is why being skeptical of big-business claims is warranted. Something to remember while big-pharama is pushing new vaccines as the only answer to Covid. People may well look back on this time the same way we look back on big-oil and

Thanks. It's interesting that this repost was "flagged" but the original was not. Not sure what changed in 10 days.

I don't disagree, but also suspect the video was intended for an audience that wouldn't recognize the name even if it was included.

No, you're missing the point completely. You can't address something by pretending it is inconsequential or worse doesn't really exist (ie. gaslighting). This narrative that far-left extremist views are only right-wing para

Yeah, I don't think of a fair moderation system as censorship. Groups of people should have the freedom to keep a discussion focused on whatever they desire. Still, it's disappointing just how easy it is for us to be completely b

You're refusing to just accept that CRT is in fact embraced, advocated, and shaping discourse and attitudes among people. This example did not spring up out of the blue. Your dismissal of it as a right-wing fiction is either naive, o

You're being naive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRXNaUz5LGY

You're 100% correct and the people down voting should think about what happens if they lose control of the censors and censorship starts being run by right-wing zealots instead of the far left.

You're free to treat it as unquestionable, but the fact remains there is ample evidence of our scientific process being deeply broken with a really bad incentive structure if nothing else. If you think there is no incorrect science at

How is Libera meant to be pronounced? L-eye-beer-ah, or maybe "liberal" without the trailing ell? Freenode was such a great name, this one is hard to warm up to in the same way.

And your evidence for that is what exactly? Since this replication problem is already known to appear in multiple disciplines, it's quite likely that the same misconduct is happening in other areas too. I think you're being a l

Until this is fixed, people need to stop saying "listen to The Science", in an attempt to convince others of a given viewpoint. Skeptical people already distrust our modern scientific institutions; not completely obviously, but d

You can play all the word games you want, but the fact remains if you treat bathrooms and pronouns on the same level as an existential crisis, demanding that people attend to both at the same time... don't be surprised when people don&

Of course you're allowed to care about multiple things. The point is that you wont be very convincing to anyone that there is an emergency if you're also attending to less important things. If you're house is on fire, you&#

No. There is an opportunity cost for every action you take. Bathroom choices don't matter if the world is on fire and in danger of causing mass extinction and hardship due to global warming. There will be nobody around to mislabel o

You've made a lot of rather large mental leaps that i'd rather not debate right now. But what your original comment lamented was the distraction from the very important issues you listed. Ignoring the merit of the bathroom argum
