Medical advice from videos is frequently of the "unhelpful" variety where people recommend home cures that work for some things for absolutely everything. Also people are really partial to "one quick trick" type soluti

It's wild to me that the first Trump Administration didn't teach this lesson. The "Just Trust me Bro" Foreign policy that has existed clearly only works if the person in power is trustworthy, and you have to carefully in

At this point I am praying that one of the things pushing back on this administration will be American Companies that have gotten rich on the back of "American Globalism", learning just how much it hurts when the US doesn't d

They're also trying to advertise and reinvest in the gold rush in an attempt to convince people there's gold here.

Bruh, what? Why in the world is Obama relevant? Why aren't you also condemning Harry S. Truman, while you're at it? That's a wild non sequitur in the the middle of your false equivalency. If you can't see the problems ri

I think whether or not you can still actively do this, there should likely be a consequence for the fact that you could ever do this. And pulling from the store for a proportional amount of time seems like a fair way to enforce that. I do

I'm pretty sure this got posted before (maybe for apple, or slightly different headline), and flagged. I can't imagine why this would get flagged, but I think there's a really solid question here. It feels pretty fair to enfo

Yeah, the more I look at different articles on here, the more I feel like the flagging is pretty targeted at any ideology at all left of center. Or specifically criticism of the current administration. All that their "anti-politics&quo

It is absolutely murder, and hair-splitting on definitions is famously the first line of defense of people who are 100% guilty and they know it. Your claim about murder is bad and wrong on the same level as "I did not have sexual relat

Okay, this should be neither here nor there, but from the pictures of the Victim that I've seen, no one would assume she was an immigrant (even though immigrants are frequently Canadian/European). Like, even under this awful ter

I think a point on top of this, is that the bar for "what is political" has become arbitrary. To your point, the MAHA movement is incredibly political, but for some reason gets a pass on what is considered "political" ev

The wider claim doesn't actually change anything about the discourse. You have not contributed to the discussion, because you've provided no additional information about whether or not the underlying claim is true. We are no close

Calling Bari Weiss "Center-Right" has got to be one of the more dishonest characterizations I've read. Or, you're going to need to claim that the Overton window has gone off the far-right deep-end such that the mere pres

Lobbying against the administration doing raids? It seems to me like every single part of this would hurt their business... They put up deterrents for day-laborers who might otherwise shop for the projects they're getting hired for at

You have not disproved that the concepts are opposed in this instance. Which matters much more than whether or not "stereotypes might generally be true." Like, at best stereotypes are a distraction for the actual data we'd l

There is a far cry between "Stereotypes are generally accurate" and "being able to make a specific measured claim on the basis of a stereotype." You also don't actively prove this claim, which means that we may know

I think it's pretty safe to assume given the conclusion that the US gov't had nothing to do with it. It wouldn't be a headline if they did.

I think this reads to me as a way for you to couch your ignorance as criticism while learning nothing from reading a study like this. Why not do this for your own biases? What metrics do you focus on while reading an article that result in

I interpret this as the comment saying "we won't know how this affected things until decades from now." Which can likely be attributed to existing vaccine skepticism and is unlikely to result in them changing their opinion in

This always seems like "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure" type situations to me... But I guess the prevention is too costly for the big oil money interests.

That's a nice hypothetical. Do you have any examples of people getting censored for WHO changing their stance? Like, we're getting pretty nuanced here pretty fast, it would be nice to discuss this against an actual example of how

'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure.' It's so much easier to stop one source than it is to (checks notes) educate the entire populace?!? Gosh, did you really say that with a straight face? As if education isn

Sorry, which part of that quote is the lie? Also, why didn't you say that it was this quote instead of leading us on this wild goose chase? Or was it just that your comment got flagged? Can't imagine why that might've been.

Given that this is such an easy ask, I think you should consider not about convincing davorak, but about convincing random lurkers who read your comments. I might've been swayed had you provided the actual quote, but I think davorak ki
