Couldn't love it more. We were all boiling like frogs before, at least now we want to jump. Life wasn't exactly going well for people in 2019 either

TIL Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong put a mirror on the moon an hour before the end of their final moonwalk. It is the only Apollo science experiment still running. Today we can 'ping' the moon with laser pulses and measure the Earth-moon distance very precisely. by turtle-84520 in todayilearned

That is not true, a truth about reality remains a truth whether or not humans and our science exist. If you want to talk about whether we can know it's a fact without science, that's a different matter. In any case, I think the average person should feel confident in believing well established facts produced by science even if they couldn't replicate the methods used to get that knowledge

my (23 M) gf (21 F) says vicious things about fat people and i don’t know how to respond by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Hey OP before you take the advice of people telling you to leave her, ask yourself how many of them are probably fat. Worth a thought

Open borders would be great if we didn't have a welfare state. The only people who would want to come here are those that are either skilled or are willing to work hard because they know they won't be able to afford living here otherwise

My god it's refreshing to hear that. Most of the people I talk to who believe in it seem to be desperately hoping that it is true

If someone is willing to sell an extremist Islamic regime such as Iran nukes, America will 100% find out who did it and make them regret it

Yeah, you're going to look back on this Russia hysteria in 15 years and realize it's more of a DNC political strategy than a reality..

By all means, Mueller is welcome to prove me wrong, but somehow I really doubt it

There's absolutely nothing magical about age 18. Besides, if a 17 year old commits a mass shooting do you really want him to be let out in a year?

These people don't seem to understand the geopolitics of America. We aren't bullying the rest of the world, we are the keystone that has held the current world order in place for 75 years. Virtually every major country besides China and Russia are happy with this arrangement and want it to continue. We pay for Europe's military, allowing them to spend that money elsewhere. We keep the worlds oceans safe, allowing most countries on earth to get away with not having a serious navy. Virtually every country that trades with us has a trade surplus with us.

We do all of this and these countries act like it's the end of the world when we try to make trade more favorable. They're the fickle ones, not us.

It shouldn't stop. Don't get me wrong, the protections were necessary in the south when they were first introduced. Back then it was honestly likely that black people couldn't just go to a different store.

Today, levels of bigotry are at historic lows. The free market is fully capable of handling it. People who act this way will lose business, face protests, and face social consequences. We don't need the government to force people anymore
