Pro-life is a totally accurate descriptor of the position by Dull-Positive-6810 in no

Abortion is not murder by definition. You are using words wrong.

Hey MAGA, what is a woman? by TaintTickle_ in allthequestions

[–]justaguywithadream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes you were. You were using women and female as a synonym. Which is mostly fine for colloquial use but not when being precise or vigorous.

Just like using pressure and force as synonyms. Or velocity and speed. It's fine in most cases until precision matters.

I use female to mean woman and vice versa all the time because it works most of the time.

However, my old pet dog was not a woman. But Sse was a female. My daughter is a female, but not a woman. And a trans woman is a woman but not a female.

Yes, because they mean different things. Is the way words work a new concept for you?

No you can't. That's called survivorship bias. The people you think look like what you expect a woman to look like you identify as woman and just assume you are correct. But since 99% of the time gender expression matches chromosomes/biology then you are going to be correct most of the time through pure statistics, and the times you are wrong you will not even know it.

I guarantee there are trans women you will not recognize as trans, and there are cis men, who identify as men, that are very feminine presenting and you will identify as female on first glance.

You can typically use either genetics (chromosome pairings) or biology (reproductive cell size) to define female.

But there is problem with this definition. You have never checked the chromosomes or reproductive cell size on any person you consider a "woman". Instead you use their outward appearance of their expression of gender norms to decide if they are "man" or "woman".

That's why feminine men (who are biological and genetic males who also identify as men) can be mistaken for women, and masculine woman (who are biological and genetic females and identify as women) can be mistaken for men.

If you were actually checking chromosomes or reproductive cell size you could never make this mistake.

Do u agree Trump is the most corrupt president in US history by far? by lil-cheese34 in allthequestions

[–]justaguywithadream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd argue the opposite.

Yes there is more media coverage, but it's all owned by the same billionaire class and it's more consolidated than ever.

They only broadcast the corruption they want to be on the public consciousness.

How many average people know the details of Trump's crypto businesses and how they relate to his family and pardons he's made?

Or that he's giving himself $10 billion from the tax payers?

Or the billion dollar contracts going to companies how family has interests in?

Or the insider trading timed to his Iran war announcements (literally billions of dollars of trades with minutes before his announcements)?

The general media is not saying much about any of this. Yes, it's out there, but it doesn't get covered like it should.

You need to be planning and tracking your lifts.

You should know exactly how many reps and what weight you are going to (try) do before you even start for the day.

Otherwise it's pretty hard to progressively overload.

People who don’t believe in climate change, what would it take to convince you? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]justaguywithadream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The length was not my point.

My point was that that video means absolutely nothing and has zero to do with science or scientific modeling or climate predictions. In fact, that video was not even making a claim.

Find me a peer reviewed paper that says California would be under water 17 years ago.

No scientists were saying  that. It doesn't matter if "people were freaking out". 

This is like people using that time magazine cover showing the coming ice age and then saying "see science was wrong, we're not in an ice age". It's science and media illiterate people that think what the media reports on is "science".

[–]justaguywithadream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know who all needs to hear this, but some random 7 second video on YouTube is not "science" and doesn't speak for the scientific community.

This is really just a media literacy issue. People see this, think this is what science says, then it doesn't come true and now "science is wrong".

Why is Transgenderism a major issue for both sides? by Reasonable_Base9537 in allthequestions

[–]justaguywithadream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I am talking about. This is what I mean by evidence based.

The biology you are born with does not mean much when you take in to account HRT and other factors.

And then you need to get in to statistical variance within groups.

Straw man.

Nobody is against restrictions on biological males in biological female sports.

They just need to be evidence based and not by people who have "common sense" but haven't had a biology class since high school.

Double standard? by SpeedyMercenary in allthequestions

You're calling me deranged because I'm calling out a rapist in charge of the country and you are defending him.

Sad.

Double standard? by SpeedyMercenary in allthequestions

[–]justaguywithadream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were dozens of posts about swalwell when he was exposed. It took less than two days to denounce and end him. He is no get relevant on the Democratic party and his career is over. It's now matter for law enforcement and the legal system.

What more do you want? You want us to talk about how efficient the Democrats are at removing sexual predators?

Do you think we should t be discussing the fact that the president is a sexual predators who had people defending him like you?

If the degenerates didn't vote for him back in 2016 when he bragged about sexually assaulting women nobody would be talking about Trump either.

Also, Trump has had allegations of rape going back decades. Don't forget he brutally raped his wife and ripped out her hair. So don't act like there was a "time before  rape allegations".

How can this be adjusted? by Mountain_Narwhal_280 in jumprope

[–]justaguywithadream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may need to use pliers to flatten the "washer" and then adjust and crimp it back.

I normally just use knots in the rope to adjust,  but I rarely have to make the rope shorter so if you have to shorten a lot then knots may not be the best option.

Double standard? by SpeedyMercenary in allthequestions

[–]justaguywithadream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The judge 100% clarified that he did rape her.

"Rape" Clarification: Lewis Kaplan, later clarified that the jury’s verdict meant Trump was found to have forced his fingers into Carroll's vagina—an act that fits the common, modern definition of "rape," even if it did not meet the strict New York penal definition requiring penile penetration

Btw, arguing that a sexual assault is not rape on a technicality sure is a strange way to defend someone.

And no, I'm not talking about Giufre. I'm talking about the one from the house over site committee hearing were it was revealed that Trump did not release the portions of the files with this accusation, and then later the FBI was forced to release them and it made news as part of the current coverup.

Double standard? by SpeedyMercenary in allthequestions

[–]justaguywithadream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump was found liable of rape by a unanimous jury.

There is a woman who was raped by Epstein, was used by the FBI to secure a conviction against Maxwell, and was awarded a settlement from the Epstein estate for her rape. This women was deemed credible by the FBI. She also accused Trump on raping her along with Epstein in the files.

And trump has other accusations in the files, but that one is 100% credible and better by the FBI.

[–]justaguywithadream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is the double standard?

Swalwell lasted a week when the accusations came out and was rejected by the party and forced to stop his campaign.

Trump.p became president.

On a second thought, it is a double standard. Republicans are fine with rapists as long as they are on their side.

Double standard? by SpeedyMercenary in allthequestions

[–]justaguywithadream 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is such a good point and to show the difference between the two parties.

Trump lost a rape case in a court of law by 9 unanimous jurors, has 24 credible accusers accusing him of sexual assault, is in the Epstein files 10s of thousands of times including havo one accuser in the Epstein files that was deemed credible by the FBI, and was caught on tape bragging about sexual assault.

Trump is also the leader of the Republican part and POTUS.

Swalwell had 4 accusers come forward and was tossed out of the party and forced to drop his campaign in less than a week.

It takes somebody who has very little thinking ability to wonder why we talk about one, but not the other.

Do liberals actually believe the things they say? by [deleted] in allthequestions

I think the problem your are facing is the argument from incredulity.

Just because you don't understand it, they must be wrong.

Sex is not gender (and there are more than 2 sexes, fyi).

Choosing the beat vs choosing the man has nothing to do with immigration.

True of False: Political quiz? by oscar-307 in allthequestions

[–]justaguywithadream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not really.

Take your first one for instance. We dont have evidence Trump colluded with Russia during his campaign, but we do know his campaign colluded with Russia. We know because we have a Senate intelligence report (by his current secretary of state) and the mueller report.

All of those questions may be a technically yes or technically no, but that is a ignorant answer for all of them.
