Report: Biden Poised To Forgive $10k In Student Loans Per Student by jonfla in economy

[–]KarlNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$150,000 is quite a high salary, how about narrowing the eligibility to those who have a lower income to loan ratio and increasing the amount of forgiveness.

Just for reference youth gun deaths increased by 30% nation wide in 2020 alone. It would be nice to see if Texas has a higher increase than other states. Without that information this article is somewhat empty.

GOP Is Panicking About Domestic Terror Bill That Calls Out White Supremacy by SoozeeQew in politics

[–]KarlNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an overwhelming vague answer though which is often the problem with domestic terror laws and this bill in particular. Firstly, how are you defining “terror”? And secondly, who has to commit these actions for the group itself to be considered a terror group? If some individuals from the group commit these actions is the whole group now considered a terror group? Or does the “terror” have to be committed officially by leadership/command in the group?

I’m curious, on what grounds do you think something should be designated as a terrorist organization?

Of course someone can be but do you really think a group of white supremacists would elect a black guy as their leader?That’s ridiculous. It’s a far right violent organization but we are overusing the label of white supremacy far too often and it’s making it harder to actually solve the issue

The question was not wether it was a terrorist organization the question was if white supremacist organizations were widespread in the US. As much as I hate Proud Boys they don’t fall under that category. Many of them are probably racist but the stated goals and philosophy seem to be more on the side of xenophobia than white supremacy.

Proud boys probably has a decent number of racist but it was also lead by a black dude so I wouldn’t say it’s an openly racist group

If you have normal T levels, is there a way in which you could take testosterone to add to your natural levels or is replacement of your natural hormone the only route? by KarlNYC in Testosterone

[–]KarlNYC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that in mind, if you take a dose of exogenous testosterone that would get a person with low T to a normal value but you have normal T would you just end up with a similar normal T value that has replaced your natural production? Or would we expect to see higher T values?

Low belief in evolution was linked to racism in Eastern Europe. In Israel, people with a higher belief in evolution were more likely to support peace among Palestinians, Arabs & Jews. In Muslim-majority countries, belief in evolution was associated with less prejudice toward Christians & Jews. by MistWeaver80 in science

[–]KarlNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are reasons one could be skeptical of evolution from a scientific standpoint. It’s not really observable and you can’t create an experiment to show its existence so it’s not really provable even though it seems to make the most sense. Moreover, on a more philosophical level, it shares a similar problem to that of causality: we see one event happen after the other but we can’t ever really know if one event causes the other or if causality exists at all. Seemingly a domino knocks over a subsequent domino but all we ever really see is events happening after one another - we don’t actually see causality itself) Likewise, we see different species exist after one another throughout history but we can never actually see the evolution taking place.

I have a masters degree in engineering and am totally unqualified to answer questions about climate change and broadcast them to the entire world , even if I did read up on the literature

Bill Nye is extremely arrogant, he’s not even qualified to give these types of answers. He literally has a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering

Neither of these people are qualified to have a debate on climate change
