    Trump

    Definitely need to cut it back. I'm essentially spamming out mini blog posts in a social media era. People probably go 'oh god here's that guy again' when I resurface... The pattern is that I tend to get all my ideas out in one go then burn out and stop thinking about it for a week or two...

    God dammit I keep editing my posts and your response beats me to it!! Added a bit to my last one too... Anyways, what I mean by 'follow the scientific process' is that if you have an idea then the onus is on you to prove it. Otherwise it lives and dies as an idea. The Tacoma narrows suspension...

    Correct my wording was poor on the intifada comment. definition for context: "Globalize the intifada is an anti-Zionist slogan used by some pro-Palestinian activists to advocate for international support for Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation" I was meant to point out that he...

    Trump

    I just finished editing my post but clarified at the end. He hasn't actually engaged in the scientific process. He has an idea (hypothesis), looks at some data (computer science) and ends up circling back to the same hypothesis. Forming a hypothesis is step one in the scientific process. But...

    OK, but lets first assess the most important aspect here: 'top geologist says" It's in the video's title, sure, but who is this guy? Gregg Braden Qualifications: Degree in computer science from Missouri University University rank amongst US national universities: #102 Trump voting in...

    Oh whoops. I literally just stumbled on a clip of Bill Maher before you posted that and thought that clip was the same. Ironically, he still managed to peddle pro-Israeli content in both videos (despite yours not even being explicitly about Palestine). In my view that is fairly telling alone...

    Trump

    I agree most on the left (amongst US citizens) tend to be pro-Palestine. Not so much the politicians. I suppose that besides political leaders - who themselves all tend to carry differing opinions on topics - there's no actual spokesperson for the left. Bill Maher has expressed similar views...

    Sure is; it’s divide and conquer where conquer = destability more than it does military victory

    Trump

    I don't agree the US should be at war with Afghanistan, but last time I checked Trump was the one that decided to pull them out of there... Biden ultimately opted to commit to the withdrawal plan. Ironically, while hastily done this is one of the things I think was good action by Trump and later...

    Trump

    Hi my previous post to Brookie sort of answers to this, I don’t disagree that the ads were effective. I think that’s the problem with them. They grab some clips, propagandise them, stoke a culture war and hope people don’t stop to think “what will the Republican Party actually do to improve the...

    Trump

    Oh my bad I edited my comment (the “such as…” one) after you got to it But sure, Off the bat, yes I do think that confirmation bias is a valid concern (particularly when searching for data, there’s always a risk of being selective). That said, I think the recent post I made on trans versus...

    Trump

    I was really just reflecting back the same kind of energy I got from the person I replied to. I’m sure you can appreciate that not every one of my posts will involve me taking the time to compile the stats / case studies for the sake of the conversation. I agree that in an ideal world they...

    Trump

    I think you should think about this a whole lot longer. Kamala was a poor candidate. She was poor because she tried to be neutral and polite about everything in general. The fact you managed to only listen to the words “trans” and “they, them” is telling (it means you watched the bits Fox News...

    Trump

    I just have two follow-ups here and am holding off any judgement i) who makes up the ‘radical left’ of the party? ii) what is your reasoning behind them being radical? (can you also clarify a bit on what you mean by radical in this context?) Traditionally, ‘radical left’ refers to people who...

    Trump

    That’s fairly unsurprising, although off the bat even that sounds a bit too high. I’m interested to test it out so I’ll try do a bit of analysis myself to compare. From Reuters (first site I viewed that contained some relevant data, focused on mass shooting events): First off, 0.5% of adults...

    Sort of tangentially related to Trump; Trump's son suggests trans people are more dangerous than (checks notes)...Al Qaeda and the Taliban? “I can’t name, including probably like Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, a group that is more violent per capita than the radical trans movement,” What are...

    I was wrong

    Ouch. No, I get it. Chat GPT puts a lot into question nowadays. I do a fair bit of technical-style reports (engineering), so that may come through from time to time. Probably fluctuate between formal and informal sentences, or use unnecessarily large words, etc.. While I quietly hope...

    I was wrong

    Thanks Eagle 1 @:) Funnily enough I'm always a bit weary of the length of my posts on here... a book might be the answer !! For my own good I think I would try stay away from political topics. Quietly hoping my current interest in US politics / politics in general is short-lived :giggle...

    I was wrong

    It's ok if you don't agree with my assessment. But it is certainly not pointless to properly expand on why. I don't agree Obama is above criticism at all, nor did my post say anything about Obama's performance as president. If it appears that way I'd say it's likely more due to discontent over...

    What are your thoughts on the assassin of Charlie Kirk? Came from a republican gun-loving family. Current understanding is that he posted on far-right pages linked to a group (Groypers) lead by Nick Fuentes (FAR right leader, holocaust denier). Ironically, appears he was opposed to Kirk's...
