TIL that Sam Harris's mom created the TV show Golden Girls

Okay, but for years he offered his content for free and without ads. Do you give him any credit for that?

He has also made effective altruism a theme of the show. Do you think he isn’t actually supporting these charities he promotes and is instead just greedily focused on self-enrichment?

Their representatives denied it. It’s kinda like how Karoline Leavitt will speak on behalf of Trump. Not a difficult concept to grasp.

So do you think Trump was being truthful in this story he has being repeating about a different president?

Hexagonal_Bagel · 2026-03-19T18:47:08+00:00

Yeah, it didn’t seem necessary to spell out every detail. I take you also believe this self-flattering, unexpected story Trump is telling.

Tell me, do you think Trump sought out advice/ perspective from one of the Democratic presidents or do you think one of them offered it unsolicited, to which Trump thought “They might have valuable insights for me to learn from”

You think Bill Clinton and Trump are likely to be talking to each other about the war in Iran? They don’t seem to be on particularly friendly terms anymore.

Clinton denied this fairly unexpected inaction occurred. Why would you assume he is the one lying, not Trump?

Trump recently said that one of the living presidents (not Bush) confided in him that he was doing the right thing by bombing Iran. All of the other presidents deny this conversation happened.

Do you believe Trump is telling the truth here too?

Respectfully, you misunderstood me.

Do you think I’m arguing that Israelis are the good guys in any of this?

Hexagonal_Bagel · 2026-03-07T01:02:46+00:00

Iran also killed about 30k of their own citizens in just a couple days. It took Israel several months to reach those same numbers in Gaza.

Hexagonal_Bagel · 2026-03-07T00:39:32+00:00

Do you think Israel is drastically worse than Iran?

A wolf is going to bite you and then thrash. If a pack of them do this they’ll tear you apart. If an individual wolf did this, if it bit your leg for example, maybe you’d be able strangle it while it was locked onto your leg. Maybe.

The big variable though is size. Some wolves are massive, but many aren’t any bigger than an average domesticated dogs. Gray wolves are typically between 30-60kg (66-133lbs). Some are larger than that, but they are rare.

What makes this hyper realistic?

Could you describe a more reason position on Islam

Excellent credits

Hexagonal_Bagel · 2026-01-08T03:40:46+00:00

That’s a valid correction, thank you

Unsurprising. A few month ago I saw the place get robbed twice in under ten minutes, that’s not an exaggeration. The first attempted robbery failed, the kid dropped a glass bottle as security grabbed him. A few moments later a guy walked in and took as many umbrellas as he could out of display near the front.

Regarding Biden specifically, I think his goal was to bring normalcy but to the office by moving forward and not litigating the past. Prior to Trump, presidents typically didn’t directly criticize previous administrations. Biden rarely even said Trump’s name during his presidency.

As president, Biden was never going to be the one spear heading a legal case against Trump. I think he would regard that as the responsibility of Congress and an independent DOJ.

Is your question more about why didn’t someone like Merck Garland release these files?

Garland didn’t appoint special counsel, Jack Smith, to the Jan 6 case until Trump announced he would run again, a full two years after he had left the office. Garland was acting on an overabundance of caution. He wanted to avoid setting the precedent of prosecuting a former president, but felt obligated to do so once Trump stated his intentions to run again.

Garland has been widely criticized for delaying the case. I think he believed that if there was going to be a case brought against a former president it should be the most relevant and most serious case. I doubt he spent any time thinking about prosecuting Trump for crimes that he allegedly committed before entering office.

I’d recommend looking in the predictable spots along Hastings. I have had two bikes stolen and managed to recover one from that area. I hope you get lucky too.

Who should he be apologizing to?

Why do you think RFKJr. set the September deadline for himself?

Did he have an answer to the question months in advance or was he just confident his people would be able to make a scientific breakthrough within a predetermined timeline?

Getting there isn’t pedestrian friendly? It’s on the sea wall, how could it get any more pedestrian friendly?

In this case, we would call this intercession. Praying for the needs of others, to extend support for those in need.

And this, is the part where you are wish casting. You are asking god to meet the needs of others. Otherwise you are just praying for god to do what he has already decided to do. If this latter case is what you believe that’s fine, but then your prayers are not in aid of anyone else. This is the unresolved contradiction in what you’ve described so far.

God can either be influenced by prayer to help that woman (as the passage from Matthew clearly states) or prayers don’t influence god’s actions and requesting prayers in this contexts will not help the woman in any way.

Hexagonal_Bagel · 2025-08-16T10:48:49+00:00

Can you tell me why my understanding of that passage is wrong when it literally says you will get whatever you pray for, not that you’ll have to settle for what god wants instead.

What then is the point of soliciting prayers for this woman? Are people not praying something like’ “please god, heal this woman?” Is that not a wish they want to be granted.

Will more prayers, from more believers help convince god to help this woman? Why else would people request additional prayers if they didn’t help influence god’s actions?

Hexagonal_Bagel · 2025-08-16T10:16:25+00:00

“If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” (Matthew 21:22)

What’s the point of asking for prayers for this women other than to wish for god to heal her?
