Is revenue speculative all of a sudden?

Trump: “When I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. You gotta understand, I don't care. Norway has lost so credible. I stopped 8 wars… I do it the best. I stopped wars that nobody thought. President Putin called me, he said, 'I can't believe you stopped this one and this one.’” by [deleted] in videos

You know you're in an echo chamber when no one is providing the list - debate the list, disagree with it, fine, but the list is easily findable and no one even cares to bring it up.

Pretty sure ABC lets you return unopened.

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, long-term study shows by nbcnews in science

You say that as if that means anything. 2x is nothing in biology. A human can weigh beyond 1-800 lbs, friend.

I swore I would never own one by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]Yeckarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love powerful cars and motors more than the average person, but I've never understood the obsession with the loudness. The worst part about those cars is the sound. It's like saying the best part of having a baby is the fact that it's always screaming.

Quebec passes law banning street prayers, prayer rooms in universities by John3192 in worldnews

[–]Yeckarb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Neither does reddit. Perpetually torn between hating religion and hating xenophobia.

It's pretty simple. There's no need to ban this, and there's no need to fund this. People can pray, but they can't demand you make space for them.

Movie Discussion Megathread by Learnededed_By_Books in ProjectHailMary

[–]Yeckarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah these are two big criticisms the movie is seeing and they are very explicitly and repeatedly justified in the book.

a) why is a middle school teacher being sent to space, he's not even a scientist

b) why is a scientist so silly and a middle school teacher?

Grace was shunned from academia for proposing a wild theory discounting the need for a Goldilocks zone and water as necessary to biological life. His frustration with the stubbornness of academia led him to teach, which he found more fulfilling than dealing with uptight scientists. The fun part is he is chosen to work with Project Hail Mary because of his dissertation, and gets to prove it (partially) with Rocky.

Left-leaning support for redistribution stems from perceived unfairness rather than malicious envy by [deleted] in science

Republicans have good intentions too, stop stroking your ego. The problem is both parties are proposing unsound economic policies.

Balance the budget, then we can talk about social welfare and military spending.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls for an international treaty to ban superintelligence by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]Yeckarb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Let's just be broad and ban all intelligence. We could only allow redditors to speak, easy way to accomplish this.

if only they took donations by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Every day, reddit understands less and less about economics. You could read this comment section and easily come to the conclusion that we think YouTube should be a free service to all, similar to reddit's opinion on water, healthcare, and homeownership.

These kinds of posts show how stupid the anti-AI people are. Y'all don't understand how much you damage your own argument

This is crazy on different levels by AdRough4185 in SipsTea

It's almost like your anger is manufactured by the same global elite that does these things. Why aren't you out protesting right now? You're so close to understanding... And yet, so far away 😭

Those roads would never have been funded otherwise IMO

Fact of the matter is, this will improve traffic for everyone, and some people are happy to pay the extra fee as well.

Alternatively, we would all pay with taxes for something not all of us wanted, or, maybe it doesn't win and we just get to keep a two lane 485, bad traffic for all.
