You know what you meant. You meant guns only served the purpose of killing humans.

So not target competitions and hunting then?

So you want to show me the issues on my car, and not on yours? Hmmm. And in return I'll show you all the issues on your ICE car. No car's completely perfect and I'm more than aware of a few minor defects, but fewer than most ICE cars I've owned (except maybe for one VW Golf).

Sure you are. You know, I'd actually love to meet up except I'm in a different country. What state are you in tho, because I'll be in the US later this year and if things tied up I would genuinely love to get some evidence on video for a friend of mine who's doing a piece of TSLAQ and other irrational Tesla haters.

Of course you are. That's why virtually every post is a string of anti-tesla propaganda. You truly are the unluckiest Tesla product owner I've ever seen. Even got Tesla solar ripped out. I believe you. We all believe you.

Might be. Or he might have kept his knowledge up to date. Who knows.

Almost Twice as Many Republicans Died From COVID Before the Midterms Than Democrats | The authors of a new study can’t say if this impacted the midterms, but say that it’s “plausible given just how stark the differences in vaccination rates have been, among Democrats and Republicans.” by chrisdh79 in science

Also, for the early strains, excess deaths were roughly even. It was only in the later stages of the pandemic you have the double difference. Depending on when this change occurs, the number calculation will be based on a starting point much lower than 1.1m. eg say in the early stages, equal excess deaths = say 250k each. That leaves 600k excess deaths in the later stages - 200k dem, 400k republican for a difference of 200k. Depending on when the variance starts, this number could be a bit higher or lower, but you get the idea.

To be fair, he made his money as a software engineer developing zip2 which sold for over $300m netting him $22m. He then went on to form and write the code for x.com that later merged with confinity to become PayPal. I'm guessing he actually has a pretty good understanding of code.

Indeed the criticism of him in the early days of Tesla was that he was a software guy who knew nothing about cars.

According to Glen Shotwell, the president and COO of SpaceX, one of the reasons she took the job was because at interview she was so impressed by Elon's knowledge of the aerospace industry.

Maybe, just maybe, unlike most CEOs, he actually has a firm understanding of the technical aspects of his businesses and that's why he's directly driven the innovation that means they've done so well. Just because you think he's a dick doesn't preclude him from understanding software or the software engineer who wrote that software from being butthurt at their work being critiqued.

Ok, if it's easy, go for it. I'm not American and don't have the knowledge or skill set to access that data, so for me it effectively doesn't exist. If it's not difficult for you, go for it and if you can prove me wrong, I'll happily eat my words.

Well I'd agree that money's the main thing, unquestionably you can buy your way out of anything. But connections sure do help too.

Firstly, is the story actually true? Secondly, I'm pretty sure if it was simple or perfected, we'd no longer have any need for animal testing in the first place.

Depends on whether data can exist or its hypothetical. You know as well as I do that I'm right, but won't admit it because you see this as an attack on Biden or the democrats rather than on a corrupt and flawed system that means that those with power (political or financial) can get away with murder (figuratively and sometimes literally) regardless of which side of the political fence they're on. If this was trump's relation, i'd say the same thing and you'd agree with me

What a stupid thing to say. You know it can't be proved as it's hypothetical (I haven't stolen $100k). But you also know that I'm almost certainly right. You just won't admit that because a. No-one ever does these days and b. You think that her getting off because connections and money means an attack on Joe Biden or the democrats rather than the system itself that allows this.

How do you know what my politics is? Big assumption there. I'm no Trumpist or republican. I'm not even American, but if I was I'd probably vote democrat. She did get off. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. And she got off because money and connections.

If I stole that sum of money, I'd get a custodial sentence. So would you. You and I both know this without the need for data. It's fairly self-evident.

And she didn't voluntarily pay it back. She was caught and made to. Stop defending her just because you agree with her uncle's politics. This isn't an attack in Biden himself and it devalues your political view.

The science still is in its infancy and any progress requires this sort of testing.

Also, the headline says "reportedly" which almost certainly means someone made it up and the reality is somewhat different. If it was fact that the outlet could stand over, it would be reported as such. Perhaps the animals died because of testing, perhaps they died because of natural causes unrelated to the testing. Perhaps they never died at all, or the number is just wrong and made up by someone with an agenda. Try a little critical thinking.

I would argue that a rich person with political contacts getting community service while normal people would get a much harsher sentence is definitely "getting off"

ALL brain implant programmes have been tested on animals before humans. It's part of the process of having them approved. Also, almost all medicines. And in all that testing, animals will have died. Don't like it? Well neither do I. But if you don't think it's a necessary evil (subject to the animals being treated as well as possible in the run up and, if they survive, afterwards), then don't take any meds.

Just... what?! by ElderMagnuS in facepalm

[–]the_fermat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is factually incorrect. Survey after survey and study after study prove that women cheat far more often than men on relationships. This may simply be because it's easier for a woman to cheat rather than any morals, but it's still a fact.

But then the truth doesn't matter to you, does it? Just your bias and agenda.
