You haven't seen the left demonize Trump?

Yes. The USA left's devil has been Trump for many years now.

Good point. You're much better off playing a podcast of white noise, which repeats the exact same sequence of bits each time you hit play.

Asahi works well on desktops, but isn't ready for laptops IMO. Sleep isn't stable yet, for example.

Is using Asahi helping Redhat? Or is Redhat helping you use Asahi?

You're completely ignoring Thomas Kuhn's points. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Re... Science today rewards novelty within the mainstream paradigm, but does not reward dissent . No

That's direct evidence that covid was in the market, but only circumstantial evidence for where it originated. The market was both (1) close to the lab and (2) a place where nature contacts humans. The lab origin theory says it origina

To be fair, this is more global than US politics. China's got a huge role, along with the WHO, and most European countries. But yes, it makes me extremely sad how politics has gotten in the way of science. I can now tell what politic

I haven't seen anti-vax being considered "scientific dissent." Science is about evaluating theories; not being "for" or "against" anything. Any group that is "pro-X" or "anti-Y" is not

It's not worth listening to people who ... think? You only want to listen to people who regurgitate what the authorities tell them to think?

That article has biased interpretations of the data. It discounts circumstantial evidence of a lab origin, while foregrounding circumstantial evidence of zoonotic origin. Neither theory has direct evidence. Nobody has found covid at WIV,

"He's racist!" It's sad that this term has lost so much meaning these days, thanks to people like you who just throw it around at anyone you disagree with. Whenever I hear someone say that now, my immediate reaction is t

The experts began by saying "Don't wear masks." The CDC and the Surgeon General told all Americans to stop wearing masks. I was one of the few people who thought for myself, read the studies, saw that all evidence in Korea a

That's not true. If that were true, then decriminalization wouldn't be making them easier to access. But since drugs have been decriminalized, they have gotten much easier to access. There are open-air drug markets in SF and Po
