How are his two arguments straw men? You are fine to ask for references for his statements, but these are not straw men. Maybe learn the meaning of these terms before using them?

You don’t get it. If you didn’t have these processed foods burgers would cost $10 and millions even in the us wouldn’t eat them. You might think that’s a good thing, but most people don’t actually want to subsist on rice and beans, otherwis

It's just not that simple. While I don't want to eat bad food, and I'm thankfully rich enough to be able to choose, food additives and technologies have had an insane impact on the cost of food, and have probably bought quali

Almost everyone finds ways to cope with the issues of life, or the traumas of childhood, whether that's extreme sports, or alcohol, or however you've been able to cope. As I said in my first post, that's fine, everyone has to

It’s probably some sort of missing childhood syndrome, where you didn’t get to experiment enough with identities as a child. But as long as you are doing this with similar people and in a community, who cares, be happy. What’s ridiculous is

What’s interesting about the Boris bus is that NHS funding has increased by way more than what was promised since then. Yet it’s somehow still held up as a lie. The NHS gets something like 30-40% more funding since brexit.

Watching even 1 video of an everyday astronaut interview with Musk makes it completely obvious you are completely wrong. And so do tonnes of testimonials on quora from spacex employees. Musk is the chief engineer of spacex rockets. He'

It’s a gift if you don’t have small children. It’s ridiculously harder if you do. It’s like trying to work in an emergency room, where every minute there’s some emergency, and you’re trying to do something different. Of course most people w

I mean, when any high profile white person does complain that they don't want this, they are called a replacement theory conspiracist nazi. And they are basically cancelled from mainstream media. But to be fair, you are right in a way,

Well this is some weird asian supremacy replacement theory I've not seen before... Always nice to see proof it's not just white people who can be supremacists.

Patronising is thinking you know what it’s like having children without having them. You don’t. You have no idea of the emotional and practical side of having children, and how hard and how amazing it is, and how it’s the best and hardest p
