  1. ^^^ The Nazi punctuation cult is here ^^^
  2. A face that loves the smell of leather. With hair color that screams their love of baseball. Who obviously can throw a heater. WTFISCNNThinking? Why would any baseball fan click on the video?
  3. 100% MAGA here. Do not support Flock. Accept the risk of "dangerous freedom." Yea we're at war with Iran. We do not need data centers taking over areas. Find a better solution than the farm next to me. Lock the pedos up. I wouldn't have gone to war with Iran, yet understand and support the government now that we are in it. The gas prices are not any higher or lower than its been in years, but still too high. When I think of fatties... the private business owner, subsidized, and mentally sick people come to mind. There is a difference between what polidics and people know and say.
  4. Petty post about Willie with a video that's gaslighting MAGA. Next.
  5. Machoism and physicality don't outweigh the lack of personal output and my mistrust of his slicked greasy hair. Rubio and Vance are the popular candidates. I will likely be compelled to vote for one of them or DeSantis. For several reasons, I like RFK Jr and Rand Paul. For the USA, give me folks that support English-speaking, constitutional, assimilating, work-first, privately free, publicly decent priorities. Yet... If a president ran on a platform of making citizens the healthiest they’ve ever been through nutrition and fitness, and had a track record of getting things done, I'd evangelize... Investing in family-level incentives and community support would reset our country's physical and mental health. Live longer. Live cheaper. Live better. We need some brain resets and get back to civility.
  6. Petty repost of petty articles. Next.
  7. His ID comment was sarcasm.
  8. The word bigot is empty of meaning thanks. Signed, Bigot Brigade
  9. I don't always agree with Matt but I do like his strong stances and desire for truth over feelings. There are many lies our teachers tell us that we sus after school. I choose to remember MLK as the hero and just ignore the personal life that contradicted the public persona. We need heroes. On the Civil War I read books that talked about State rights but I always thought duh... but that was the state right concerning slavery. On Abe Lincoln I was taught he freed the slaves and later read a quote from him that made everything more complex... found it And just now while searching that quote of his indifference, found a quoted opinion on anti slavery... I understand that we need heroes but I disagree with these simplified saint versions. Easter bunny is real, Santa Claus is real... but it's all dumb and breaks trust. Give me the nuance at a young age. Tell me that despite Abe's anti slavery view, he would have kept slavery to keep the union. Let's discuss what he was wrestling with and why. Let's discuss how MLK was pushing for marriage fidelity while breaking his vows... like he is imperfect like all of us, yet can still accomplish great things. I haven't watched many of Matt's videos but I generally like practical stances, common sense stances, and the hard contexts / inconvenient facts. Matt can selectively frame things and overstate things which is where I can find disagreement... while still appreciating his overall content that otherwise is unshared.
  10. There is a difference between postpartum depression and psychosis. One is less much common and dangerous than the other.
  11. Sad and sadder. 1. Overall, a slim majority (~56.5%) said scientists should prioritize truth over social equity when the two conflict (only ~3.1% prioritized social equity; the rest said “it’s complicated”). Men were more likely to prioritize truth (66.4%) than women (43.0%). Wrong. 2. In the last few years, journals such as Nature Human Behaviour and Nature Communicationshave either changed their publication guidelines or published editorials indicating that scientific papers may be rejected or retracted on the basis of harm concerns surrounding research conclusions.

  12. It sucks because skin color does not cause crime. Using skin color to describe a person is natural... it is unfortunate that some skin colors are associated with a wildly higher rate of violence. In the USA we still associate black skin with African-ancestry, so it's a loose proxy for it. Now ask if people with African-ancestry, as a group, have a lower violent crime rate globally than other groups. Data answers "no."
  13. Most individuals of this group are not criminals, but it is fact that the risk for certain crime is higher and prudent to be aware of it. The same holds true for males compared to females on crime. Refusing to acknowledge the data doesn’t make it go away and results in higher risk decisions.
  14. False. That is only one of multiple senses of the word. The definition includes “an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge” The data provides just ground for an adverse opinion or leaning.
  15. Watched a video and some women said they relate to postpartum depression / psychosis, feel this lady needs support, and want better public awareness to mental health treatment needs. The women see the incident as a psychotic tragedy rather than crime.
  16. There is no prejudice in the story of the squirrel and tiger. Men are pulled over more than women, and arrested more. That is not female privilege. Prejudice is judging without reason or evidence. Using group data can be well reasoned. Treating patterns as absolutes, or refusing to update once you know the individual, is prejudice. Where you and others are mistaken is treating all pre judgement as prejudice.
  17. When the bushes rustled, 1032004 waited to see if it was a squirrel or tiger. He is buried out back.
  18. That white person has face tattoos, I better keep my distance. False
  19. This man's skin color puts him in a group that commits lower crime rates. But the number of tattoos on his face puts him in a group that commits higher crime rates. This is not prejudice. This is not racism.
  20. "Seeing a black person and then guessing there is a higher probability a crime might occur is racism." FALSE. This person's skin color puts him in a group that commits a higher rate of crime. But this does not make him inferior. His presentation is one of respect. These statements are not prejudice and not racism. USAA charges more for my children then for me as a base due to their age. This is because the data shows their age is higher risk for accidents. This is not ageism or prejudice. It really is comparable.
  21. You might lie more than Trump.
  22. Continue. What is interesting about it. I find it interesting that a white dude like yourself ignores the rampant stories, examples, and data that support white people are discriminated more than "a little." That is fact. It doesn't need to be dismissed or diminished by trying to squash it in comparison to historic discrimination against other races.
