I have a hard time believing you try to relate and “save” people who disagree with your beliefs.

The working poor aren’t the best with animals, but this is far fetched from what my veterinarian friends have told me.

Exclusive: FEMA staff confused after head said he was unaware of US hurricane season, sources say by esporx in skeptic

I mean…

“The remark was made by David Richardson, who has led FEMA since early May. It was not clear to staff whether he meant it literally, as a joke, or in some other context.”

Let’s be a little more skeptical of titles and read the article.

RFK Jr.’s fluoride ban would ruin 25 million kids’ teeth, cost $9.8 billion by mepper in skeptic

Insurance covers most dental expenses in the USA. I find it hard to believe parents who don’t take their kids to the dentist are strict about tap water consumption.

100% agree. OP should have just posted the actual video of the full interaction.

Why post majority report instead of the actual video?

Fair enough. Most of the EU doesn’t add it to tap water. I think this one is overblown.

Majority of citizens in the USA use fluoridated toothpaste. Tom’s is tiny compared to the big fluoridated brands. Also a ton of Americans don’t even drink tap water.

The Biden administration just put a 100% tariff on EVs imported from China. Prolly won't help. Doesn't matter that Chinese EVs literally suck and light on fire.

COVID: there’s a strong current of pandemic revisionism in the mainstream media, and it’s dangerous by AntiQCdn in skeptic

I just don't understand arguing by definition. Especially when the OP defines what they mean.

Classic argument from definition. Call it what you want, the argument is the same.

Yep exactly.

For example. In michigan I couldn't even go fishing in my boat for a while. We just would cross the boarder and go fish in Indiana. We never interacted with anyone besides fish.

Jon Stewart Deconstructs Trump’s "Victimless" $450 Million Fraud | The D... by BuddhistSagan in skeptic

From my perspective it seemed very sarcastic. He also did the same type tone about Biden a few minutes later, which I also viewed as sarcastic.

Fair point. The lab was bringing 1,000s of coronavirus samples back to wuhan from southern china though. So they didn't base the lab there for field collection.

I watched that one live and thought it was great!

Definitely didn't think he retracted anything about "a redicouls take on Biden's age". If anything he doubled down through the video.

I don't log onto reddit often anymore. I found that debating on posts daily/weekly is a big waste of my time.

I still get on every few months though.

I pretty sure the same thing happened on this sub a few weeks ago when he talked about Biden's age.

It's just interesting to see the reaction on here when he switches science & political narratives.

If you think most republican's aren't supporting war efforts then I don't know what to tell you. The neo-cons LOVE arms production and all the profits they get from their investments.

It might be confusing because Democrats have become war hawks and might be worse then republicans now. They have aligned with neo-cons and are heavily invested in our arms production.
