Occam’s razor doesn’t really apply here… You can’t use that to just assert that he supports Israel. Besides, he later did say that he doesn’t support Israel.
Honestly, I can understand the response. He’s in the middle of a set and someone starts yelling about some political issue… Fuck that, he’s here to play a concert. And you know what, I wouldn’t want to be backed into making any political statement out of the blue, while on stage.
What?! Are you serious?
Pretty much everything I said was wrong? How do you figure that?
Here’s my primary claim: “This article is debunking the idea that there are probiotic benefits to eating dirt, which isn’t what we’re talking about at all”
My claim was that the page you linked is clearly talking about digestive health, not the immune system.
Let’s look at the first sentence in the header
Will eating dirt improve gut health?
I’d say that’s pretty clear. But wait, that’s not the whole header, what does the rest of it say?
According to the Hygiene Hypothesis, ingesting dirt will strengthen our immune system right?
So it’s worse than I thought, immediately, right off the bat, this page is already jumbling the concepts of digestive health and immune system. Just odd.
Look, I’m perfectly willing to concede that there are no real digestive benefits to eating dirt. But then I never made that claim. I have no idea what your motivation is, but you should stop spreading misinformation.
Don’t infections lead to producing antibodies?
This article is debunking the idea that there are probiotic benefits to eating dirt, which isn’t what we’re talking about at all. We don’t care about the beneficial bacteria, they don’t build your immune system, they’re irrelevant. It states right at the beginning that there are harmful pathogens in dirt, which is exactly the point. Those harmful pathogens are literally the only thing that can build the immune system.
Can someone explain what this headline was supposed to say? The grammar is… Confusing.
Yeah, that’s a temporary condition, lol.
Just from the summary,
Climate scientists…
…they had been told they were not qualified to take part in this broad discussion of the climate crisis
So if climate scientists aren’t qualified to take part in this discussion, just who the fuck is?! That’s a pretty stupid position for anyone.
So to sum up the article, most meteorites (the ones that actually hit earth) are the result of just a few (perhaps three) large asteroid collisions some time in the past.
Most asteroids seem to be in relatively stable orbits which is basically necessary for them to still be orbiting. So it follows that it would take something altering that orbit for them to end up in an earth intercept course. Ejecta from a collision makes sense.
I guess the truly surprising part is that most of the samples we have are such good matches that we can conclude they belonged to the same individual asteroids.
If this were Florida, the mother could just say she was “standing her ground”.
How’s the insulation on that “home”?
I kid, there’s no way in hell those are adequately insulated or waterproofed.
Enjoy your corroded tin can.
Well that’s the most viscerally horrifying headline I’ve read in… ever I guess.
I want to take away everyone’s arms. This country would be safer without guns.
Well… It’s not being engineered with a driver in mind. I don’t think they can just slap a seat in there later; having vs not having a driver is a major design consideration. This vehicle has no driver, period. If the fsd doesn’t work, he has no vehicle.
So the question isn’t “Will they put a driver in this car?”
The question is “Will they get this cat on the road?”
Knock yourself out, pray as hard as you want.
Cops are always hiding behind the same lame shield, “the officer fired in self defence”, “the suspect appeared to have a weapon”, “the officer fired when there was a credible threat to his life”…
It’s all fucking bullshit. The officer fired because he was a big fucking pussy who was too afraid of black people to do his job, and instead killed an innocent he was supposed to protect.
In war you have rules of engagement, generally it tends to include something like “don’t fire unless you’re fired upon”, as you don’t want to accidentally start a war. That seems like a sensible code to me, and I think it’s pretty crazy that we would say that to soldiers, but not police. A fighter pilot can track another aircraft, knowing full will that it is armed, and if they are not cleared to engage, they still manage to stand down every time. Perhaps police just need clearer rules. Don’t fire unless fired upon, or else it’s murder. That would be clear. Since apparently you can’t take the racist out of the cop, then we can at least take the decision making out of his hands.
Firing because you see someone who might be armed… That’s just deportable, it’s criminally incompetent. I don’t care if you’re afraid for your life, if you were afraid for your life because you thought you saw a gun, quit the force. Today.
That sure is a divisive opinion…
I truly believe that social media, and I mean all social media should be banned. People should not be allowed to spew their bullshit. We as a people are really not ready for this. Maybe China is right with their “social score” system. Maybe stuff like the bilderberg group is really needed. We seem to need guidance. We, the normal civvies, seemingly are too hell bend on watching it all burn. And are too stupid to stop it. People like trump, inciting hate, spraying unlimited bullshit, should be thrown in jail. That’s not politics. That’s rage baiting.
Haha, that sounds like something I would say. I wonder if it’s an IT guy thing to say “fuck it, this is broken, no more doing this for anyone anymore” " and by the way, how did you even break this?".
But yeah, this is probably an overreach. If you banned all social media, you’d have to ban all forms of Internet mass communication, forums and message boards, comments sections, all the way down to group emails…
Also, practically, you’ll never get any law that limits speech that much passed in the US, is just not going to happen.
I wish I knew what would work to start addressing this problem…
I shower in the morning, just after I take my ADHD meds. My shower thoughts are… meandering. Occasionally insightful, but usually just weird rabbit holes where I ponder links between distantly removed topics.
