Over the years I have had hundreds of left-wing people block me for sincerely asking for the facts in a situation, a situation I agree with them on... I cant recall a right-winger ever doing that (not that they dont have a ton of other issues).

As someone who has and still does lean left I have to say every day i become more and more ashamed of the way "my side" behaves... its depressing to see.

Pro tip: If you have a cheaper desk made of pressure treated wood, and it gets hold and starts to get spots where the laminate is gone exposing the wood then you probably already know once that happens it gets wors real quick as just rubbing against it will flake off shards o wood till your desk distinigrates.

If when the patches form you takes some super clue and create a coating it works REALLY well. On the one hand it water proofs it which if water gets in it will ruin things a lot. and it stops it from flaking off.

I need to get a new desk but its a big project and so far this has worked great to keep my 25 year old desk alive.

If you want a smooth surface do it in two steps.. the first time the super glue absorbs so when it drys it creates a nice barrier but looks like youdidnt do anything. The second coat will not soak into the wood so you can then fill the hole, let it dry and sand it. this can give youa glossy smooth coat if you want to take it a step further.

I cant decide if the reasons there are so few homeless women compared to men is because men are sexual predators and take advantage of women in that situation and "help" in exchange for sex. Or if the world just cares more about the safety of women than men.... I am leaning more towards the former thant he latter here but I suspect it is a bit of both.

Someone needs to make a T-shirt that just says "Obey the cloud"

My birthday is in 4 days. In case anyway was wondering I wear a size 5.56 NATO.

Ya know, it would be nice if every time a cop had any contact with a suspected criminal (after they are detained or before any qwuestions are asked) everyone got a freee lawyer on the spot. Something has to be done to keep these cops in check and stop them from constantly threatening with the color of law and getting away with it.

@freemo Yeah, asking people to put their evidence on their table sounds like a pretty good idea.

But it does get frustrating when you ask if there has been evidence, and people were reply that there absolutely has, and what they present isn't evidence at all, and you point that out, and they say it is, and at that point there's nowhere else to go with it.

It's raining outside!
What's your evidence?
Well here's a bucket full of water from the rain!
...That bucket is empty.
No it's full of rain! Look at all this water in it!

Siiiigh

I refer to it as the book club theory. We all showed up to the book club, and we all read books with the same title, but the plot lines were different in different people's copies, so it's pretty darn hard to discuss the book.

The Day After Tomorrow: a movie about a sudden global ice age where everything is so cold if someone goes outside they will instantly freeze to death, therefore a sons father has to walk to find his son and save him....

Anyone detect the plot hole?

Serious question. Did they find any evidence yet in all the trials and stuff going on that clearly shows intentionally want the capitol riot?

When it happened I saw little clear evidence it was intentional but at the same time based on his behavior and personality I totally would expect it was intentional and somewhere at some point there might have been a record of him saying he wanted it.... If there is any actual evidence I'd love to see it if anyone has any as I havent been following as closely as I should.

Decided to eat some Alligator for dinner, its been a while!

I want someone to separate cell organelle just so i can see what they taste like... I want a jar of mitochondria just so i can cook some up.

My doctor tried to tell me I was overweight today. I told him as I shook my belly "This is good fat, I'm like an avocado"... he wasnt buying it.

Some years ago, I ran a business with friend who was black. I was round his place one night whilst there was a programme about the USA in the 50 and 60 on TV. It occurred to me that, during the time I had known him, there were quite a few places in the southern states of the USA where it would have been, if not unlawful, at least inadvisable for me to go into a bar with my partner for a beer. Maybe there still are.

Ya know... I am a little surprised that our president just 2 presidents ago was the first black man in history to be president... seems that was way late, a little surreal to think that **I**. as young as I am, voted for the first black president.

@britishtechguru @auscovid19 @freemo @DenisCOVIDinfoguy So far there’s nothing to indicate that SARSCOV2 is going to go away. Unfortunately. Its propensity to mutate to avoid immunity suggests the opposite.

Yersinia Pestis never went away. It was the conditions that helped it propagate that improved. Even then the multiple waves of the plague went well beyond a few years.

Man when Pho is done right it is soooo good. I had given up on it cause the noodles were always over cooked and its disgusting like that. But todays Pho came perfect, with some Jicama rolls and pocky it was amazing!

@wjmaggos Well that's just a bad idea.

What you're describing is tearing down instead of building up, or more practically, it sets up cross purposes for the practice while supporting really unrealistic mythologies about how political power works.

If taxation is about political power then the country is generally going to reject it because most people aren't interested in social manipulation like that.

So when you inject such an idea it's very counterproductive. At least don't say it out loud even if you believe in such foolishness.

New theory... The **only** intellectual thing that seperates us from the rest of animals is the ability to do math.

All the things we dont usually think of as math but we associate with being human is in fact math... language is math, logic is math, its all math... language is simply our ontology we use to express logic as symbols we can express. We have a natural intuitive understanding (well some of us, to some extent) of prepositional logic and language is more or less a manifestation of that.

I hate to break it to you but the whole "tax the rich" thing is what the rich want you debating... why? Cause you can tax them all you want, but when our budget is 60% military they will still get rich and we will go in debt no matter how much you tax them.

Ya know what the rich really dont want? You fighting to get the military budget slashed in half leaving more than enough money to cut taxes for everyone (including the rich)... but noooo, any solution that saves everyone money, including the rich, is one that will never be supported.

So many people just get spoon fed a narrative and then its law.
