to be fair, mirrors are pretty crazy and don’t typically appear as clearly in nature with the exception of water.

Whether a dog recognizes its reflection or not doesn’t really rule out that they’re not self aware

This is the old is fetus life.

Yeah, and the problem there is that logic and science won’t change someone’s mind about it. It’s subjective from their perspective.

I’ve seen pro-life folks argue that but they frame it like… “the law is fine and it’s a failure of the doctors not being willing to understand the law which led to deaths” and they’ll also follow that up by saying that even if women die, they’re saving more lives by preventing abortions so it’s a net positive.

I find it difficult to argue against that perspective. That is, I disagree with them but also it’s hard to argue when they frame abortions as basically murder.

as a dude who has worked in restaurants and offices… working in fast food isn’t the simplest job out there, like by a significant margin. That sentiment is propaganda to keep wages low and treat low wage earners like shit.

however, I get that Trump thinks that way so your point still is right

It doesn’t matter that it was correct. There isn’t anything that verifies what it’s saying, which is why it’s not recommended to ask it questions like that. You’re taking a risk if you’re counting on the information it gives you.

because it could have just as easily confidentiality said something incorrect. You only know it’s correct by going through the process of verifying it yourself, which is why it doesn’t make sense to ask it anything like this in the first place.

I feel like it just paints an absurd situation. They’re in a precarious situation and can lose their balance and fall forward or backward. I don’t think there’s anything weird with the physics if you accept it’s supposed to be an absurd situation.

exactly! it’s crazy, like you’re conscious but your mind isn’t recording. And then without that record to reflect on, it’s easy to forget things.

it’s a really long article that goes into depth on the issue with a lot of anecdotes and research. The gist of it is though that while these people have committed negligence, it happens to people who are otherwise not negligent. It can really happen to anyone, all it takes is some stress or unexpected plans changing.

People should be aware of how easy it can happen to anyone and not pass it off as just bad parents getting what they deserve.

did you read that article?

lol for real, every sentence I was like “dude… no, stop”

it’s such a backward argument but the fewer comments means I don’t spend a lot of time on each post and just move on with my life. I like it for the most part.

my understanding is that minoxidil addresses half the problem and finasteride addresses the other half… it’s something like minoxidil increases the blood flow and finasteride thickens the hair (usually male pattern baldness is like just your hair is too thin to break through the skin or something?)

if you’re gonna try, I’d say it’s not worth it unless you’re doing both at the same time. It works really well for some people, but I’m too worried about the side effects to try

plus, I save so much money just shaving my head 😂

the article says “The deoxyribose gel was so effective, researchers found it worked just as well as minoxidil”

minoxidil isn’t that effective to begin with. It even points that out later in the article.

This is interesting but I’m not optimistic.

lol that’s a really broad extrapolation of what, a few people you saw that happened to post something in the last day? Just boldly labeling anyone who had a criticism of Biden as a bitter troll or something?

I always wondered this too

the argument isn’t that people will switch sides, it’s that more right-leaning people will vote who would have otherwise just skipped

My understanding is you don’t actually need to update the copyright year… if anything it’s kinda misleading if you only have the current year

that doesn’t mean much. If Biden dies, Trump will likely win.

If Trump died that wouldn’t really change what the Republican party is trying to do.

died of natural causes?
