They’ve already been trounced for pulling up a 6 year old article using 8 year old data.

Then they doggedly refused to do the math for recent years that there’s literally a school shooting every week in the US.

And that doesn’t even touch mass shootings in general.

The really sad part is they do eventually make a point that a lot of the problem is mental health and America’s obsession with gun violence. But simply refusing to even admit to the actual frequency of the shootings or that the availability of guns is part of the issue means they’ll continue to be ignored.

In the US basically anything paved is pavement.

Asphalt road: Pavement

Concrete sidewalk: Pavement

Giant parking lot: Pavement

Gravel road: Believe it or not - paveme… well that one’s debatable.

Worst indictments

I dunno. English…

Tone is nearly always a bullshit argument used to dismiss the content of what’s said without addressing it.

Good communicators don’t worry about it too much because there are lots of reasons someone can take a certain tone - for example if they’re tired or stressed! So they just make sure they understand what the person is conveying without worrying about how it’s conveyed.

Someone who focuses much on tone is likely a poor communicator themselves, or frequently just trying to be manipulative.

While sedation is also accurate, I suspect you meant sedition.

Showing up on Morgan’s self-titled show, helping him get views, ratings, clout, and money is taking him down?

Pretty sure that’s not how it works.

It also implies there’s a way to subvert an election without resorting to crimes.

This is Iran. The mini-bombs were in Lebanon.

This is the third group of people Israel is trying to kill in their apparent attempt to start World War III

Is that a pool of blood?

This misunderstands the motivations of real-life evil people.

Once you accept there is no afterlife, that your legacy means nothing, and that you’re a piece of shit who has no desire to contribute to society or help others - only your personal success and self-pleasure while living matter.

Tarquin says it best, though much more humorously, here: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0763.html

By Rush’s personal measure, he absolutely won. So did Kissinger. So did Reagan. Trump and Jones and Rogan are on track.

You don’t beat such people with legacy.

This one doesn’t even call her “Hawk Tuah girl”.

When you inflate a balloon with your breath is it more bouyant?

That is exactly the difference between weight and mass. And yes, that would be weightless and objects like balloons have negative weight until they reach an altitude where they’re neutrally bouyant and then are weightless.

Weight is defined as a force and has a direction. That’s what causes the movement. If the weight didn’t change there would be no movement.

From TFA “The pair of you came within the thickness of a pane of glass of irreparably damaging or even destroying this priceless treasure, and that must be reflected in the sentences I pass.”

Sooooo fucking close…

I invite you to touch an electric fence with a stick then.

I’m gonna be the guy that points out cucumbers are spiky before they get to the grocery store…

I’m gonna copy my unedited response to this when someone posted this study as a Psypost link because I can’t be arsed to change it and it’s the exact same problem.

I like the overall lack of bullshit psypost articles on Lemmy and would like to keep it that way.

If you see a psypost article you should be suspicious.

If you see a psypost article about a paper with a conclusion that you agree with you should be extra suspicious.

EDIT: And now I’ve bothered to read the abstract of the paper and the first bit of the psypost article and they don’t say the same fucking thing.

The journal article is saying they identified brain regions associated with fundamentalism by looking at brain lesions. There may be a seemingly obvious connection to say that the brain lesions caused the fundamentalism, but I don’t see them actually say that after skimming the full text. They focus on what regions are associated with fundamentalism using lesions as a tool to find them.

The psypost article says in the first sentence the damage changes the likelihood of fundamentalism.

Apparently it’s not just an American thing, but maybe other countries have more sense not to do it anymore.

They’re usually in “high end” restaurants in big cities like Las Vegas. The ones I recall usually have the sinks somewhat separated from the stalls with a partition or turn, but they’re not wholly separate rooms. The motivations are probably more needing money, access to a fancy place, and being an extrovert than perversion - more windshield wiper gig than peeping Tom.

I think it’s a combination of a holdover from another time that maybe was useful when they had an expanded role - they probably actually used to keep the bathroom clean, and some guys will shine shoes etc. - and tip-based service jobs they gave to poor people. I think they do get an hourly rate, but it’s probably below minimum wage for the same reasons waiting tables is.

Unfortunately the original article seems lost to time. https://www.badscience.net/2010/01/voices-of-the-ancients/
