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.

to be fair, the emulation on these devices is significantly more accurate, right?

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.

MOBAs were cool at the time of warcraft 3. Let’s move on.

What kind of statement is this? MOBAs are still insanely popular. And “move on”? as if there’s no reason to iterate or improve on a genre?

I don’t even play MOBAs but I’ve heard this same sentiment on arena shooters and it makes as much sense there as it does here.

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?

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.

what do you mean it was unfinished at the time?

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

the DNC kinda prevents legitimate alternatives from succeeding though. It doesn’t have to be this way but the party keeps it like this, maintaining the incumbent as the only choice.

People want more options and they would be available if it was remotely possible to overcome the DNC’s favoritism to Biden.

how is Biden the only person that can beat Trump? What left-leaning person would go “hmm, it’s not Biden so I guess I’m voting Trump”?

Do you think even swapping Bernie in now that he could beat Trump?

This question broke me. If the left-leaning voting population of the USA can’t support a single candidate against freaking Trump except Biden then we deserve whatever disaster occurs. That’s embarrassing. Truly childish levels of spitefulness.
