Do you know what happened to the gun afterwards?

Oh it’s copypasta! Lol - So cute.

Lol. Cute bait.

Someone accused of war crimes, so about as far from a civilian as you can get, too

This analogy is garbage. The “nicotine vape for kids” isn’t Balatro, it’s loot boxes. Balatro would be like candy cigarettes.

They could also provide the cheaper alternative, generating revenue for the government, providing goods at a discount and forcing corporations to match prices.

Like that’ll happen, though.

We were so rough with them as kids. If I didn’t have a blister on my palm after playing Mario Party 2, something went wrong.

Already emailed my rep. Absolutely disgusting.

… Can you explain for my friend? I’d explain it to them myself, but I don’t want to make them feel bad for not knowing.

My guess is that when your done with this project and go to put the replacements away, you’ll find the originals, but ONLY if the return period on the replacements has already passed.

There’s a fact-checked debate from Vox where both parties set 3 facts that they both agree to. Then they provide footnotes and more information that’s not covered by just the facts. I found this format very enlightening while also explaining both points of view without getting heated.

I only found it on YouTube, but it might be available elsewhere.

Wow, Alex Jones looks like he aged 15 years in the past few months.

Good.

I’ll start worrying about the “population crisis” when there are no more orphans because they’ve all been adopted.

The simpler the ‘fact’, the more likely it is to be an oversimplification and largely untrue.

In this example, you have to overlook any time someone became pregnant without consent. They never chose it to begin with, so blaming them for “not taking responsibility” for something they never wanted is oversimplifying a complicated subject to the point of falsehood.

It’s also especially funny how often this argument comes from people who, in the same breath, will talk about their savior being “of virgin birth”. You can’t argue that chastity works for everyone when it didn’t work for Mary.

Because there’s no “wrong” answer in an experiment. AKA no accountability.

Yeah, and they act like learning about a new skin cream on the street is going to be subjected to the same level of scrutiny as learning about a new study on “gun bans”, even though people have been studying this for decades and the results largely don’t change, only the public perception of them.

It’s like if they showed people a new study for “Earth gravity” vs “Moon gravity” and act surprised when people don’t immediately catch on when their numbers say the moon makes you weigh more. You wouldn’t be expecting that result OR trust a random person on the street to change your view of gravity with a chart of 4 numbers.

Yes, they found bias. Cool.

Alternate title: A single “study” presented from someone on the street is typically not enough to change anyone’s perspective on a subject, especially if that “study” presents “facts” that are contradictory to the listener’s previous knowledge.

Humans aren’t rational. Humans are rationalizing. If someone on the street giving you a basic chart with 4 numbers on it is enough to change your mind, you likely didn’t have much of an opinion to begin with.

The difference is between cursing and cursing AT someone.

“The garage door broke.” “Ah, fuck.” - Fine “You fuck.” - Not acceptable

If you get a written warning, it’s probably time to start looking for a new job regardless.

Seriously. Someone never clicked on the “you are an idiot” popup that auto-played music, moved around the screen, prevented task manager from opening and cloned itself if it was closed.

I was excited for the remake until I learned that it ends before the end of disc 1. I’m also not buying a new console to play the second third of a remake of a game I’ve already beaten.
