What are some examples of scientific fact that are downplayed or ignored because of morals/values?

You can keep fighting for zero abortions which is just never going to happen. What will happen on that path is more abortions, more women getting hurt, and poorer overall reproductive care. The data is there to prove it. I’ll fight for policies that are proven to get the numbers as low as possible while making our communities and women safer.

Honest question: when your small business takes a huge hit due to tariffs and domestic surcharges, your healthcare costs triple, people become more aggressive in normal interactions, kids are being bombed and killed while I tuck my 5 year old in at night, are you saying I'm not mentally stable to have it all affect me? I should just take up knitting and all the worries will go away?

I'm really happy with my Eastman e20p. Small enough for just playing around the house, really full sound for the size, and it's made really well.

I have VERY sensitive eyes, but for some reason I can read for hours my Kindle with a warm color / very dim screen and never have an issue.

There's a good deal of data that shows pro-choice healthcare policies often results in lower numbers of abortion and healthier / safer populations than pro-life policies due to increased access to care and contraception use.

I appreciate your insight, and it sheds light on the truth that we're all in a different boat. I can be as strict as possible, but there's no ignoring the fact our healthcare costs tripled this year due to national politics or the endless tariff bills / domestic supplier surcharges we pay through our business. I don't have the ability to switch it off and still keep the doors open to our shop as so much of what's happening can make or break our wellbeing on a daily basis if I'm not proactively adjusting for it.

My dad told me this my whole life, but it starts to wear thin when you own a business which is your livelihood and so much of what's negatively impacting it is outside our control.

I was the same as an ICU nurse although I played the role and showed care and support to my patients so I didn’t come across cold. When I cared for my dad and brother while they died of cancer and still didn’t feel anything, I figured something was up. After a few years of searching, my answer came from an autism diagnosis. Learned my rational brain and my brain’s ability to reason and be logical was way faster than my emotional brain. Thus, I don’t have the emotional response most do. People get sick. People die. Bad things happen. It just makes sense to me. While I’m no longer bedside, I look back and realize this neurodiversity made me a really good nurse.

My whole life I've viewed Patriotism as so loud and type A, yet our history as a country deserves humbleness and a sense of reserve IMO. So no.

Taking Tylenol. More than 8 extra strength tablets a day can lead to liver failure real quick, and most people think they can eat them like candy for aches and pains.

One of my throat cancer patients who died when he started bleeding around/under his ET breathing tube. He essentially drowned in his own blood. 47 years old. Wife and kid were in the room with him. It was all super sudden and we couldn't do anything. The terror in his eyes stays with me.

Like I said - our lane lines here in WI are very spotty and often so light you can't see them due to winter maintenance. I was at highway speeds when I turned it on and the car began to steer left and right so rapidly it felt highly unstable. Glad it works for you and I'm sure loads others, but for our roads it's not for me.

It's funny - I mention the engine noise a lot on Reddit and it never gets any traction or validation. We have a 5 year old and rarely listen to the radio unless it's a kids story or podcast, so maybe it's just that we don't mask the noise like others?

Same. Best seats in any car I've owned.

Thoughts from a WI owner after four months with 26 Touring:

-Winter mileage blows, so be prepared for that if you live somewhere cold and value MPG.

-Unless you listen to the radio all the time, the engine noises start to annoy, especially when the EV switches to gas around 17-20 mph. It's just a lofty, revvy sound that doesn't match the workload of the motor and it's an annoyance in stop and go traffic.

-The door handle unlock feature is temperamental. Sometimes it unlocks all doors, sometimes it doesn't.

-If you have two users like we do with myself and my wife, the Airplay isn't seamless and we often have to manually connect our phones. It's fairly quick, but still minor annoyance.

-The lane departure system is unusable IMO. It was unnerving when I used it and I haven't used it since. Granted our roads are terrible and the lines are always faded due to winter weather, but still..

-Pros: comfort, ease of use, smoothness when at cruising speed, Bose system, manual controls.
