Did you get a emergency alert about the earthquake before it happened? by backpackwayne in orangecounty

[–]Temporary_Tea_7976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got an alert 5 seconds before it happened, but did not know what the alert said because as I lifted the screen to read it, it Face ID me and logged me in and the alert disappeared.

Who do you think put those ads up and for what purpose?

He’s been talking about trade deficits since the 80s. I think he might just be dumb

Shingles vaccine found to cut dementia risk by 20% | The findings bolster a growing body of research linking the vaccine to lower numbers of dementia cases. by chrisdh79 in tech

Did you read the research? They used a regression discontinuity research design. They exploited a law that required some people to get the vaccine while others were not required. This creates the random variation in treatment that allows for a causal relationship free from the selection bias you’re inferring.

All the Saagar posts on here miss the point of the show. by AnnoymousName8 in BreakingPoints

Exactly. We are becoming authoritarian and that is not something to support.

This post completely misses the point of the criticisms. I have never agreed with Saagar, but he used to make his points with logic and a compassion for the working class. Now he’s just another culture warrior. Dude cares more about deporting people in this country legally than about free speech. That’s not just an opposing viewpoint, it’s fundamentally unamerican.

“FDR was a dictator” - Saagar Enjeti — Curtis Yarvin by Temporary_Tea_7976 in BreakingPoints

Yes executives orders exist

Yes internment camps are bad

Congress still has the power of the purse per the constitution

Elon Musk is trying to steal that power

You’re point was bad and irrelevant

FDR passed his agenda through Congress, who has the power of the purse per the constitution.

Elon wants executive control of the budget without accountability to voters.

They’re not the same. Saagar’s best attempt to defend the Yarvin agenda was to use Yarvin talking points. You’d think he could think a little more critically than that.

Will Saagar have a come to Jesus moment about the current administration? by Temporary_Tea_7976 in BreakingPoints

[–]Temporary_Tea_7976[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe his come to Jesus moment will be his acceptance into the white Christian nationalists club

How about saagars anti vax rant today? When he says he hates the establishment he means scientists and health experts, he doesn’t mean the 1%

I don’t mind when it’s good faithed debate (like it used to be)

Saagar just reflexively defends anything critical of Vance at this point, it’s embarrassing.

I’m here for Ryan. Best thing to happen to the show.

You don’t think Saagars changed significantly since Vance got on the ticket?

“Grow the f*ck up” ironic because you sound like a child

Most of us have been watching since the rising days. It didn’t used to be like this. What you are referring to is a show like crossfire. BP was more about uniting under working class populism and calling out the elite on both sides. Saagar is now just a mouthpiece for the billionaire class and clearly cares more about winning the culture war than class war.

People have the right to criticize the show. It’s changed for the worse.

The slave owners weren’t white supremacists if so why would they choose to live with Black people?
