“Ignoring anecdotes” is a core element of logic and science. Your understanding of the world is not factual or rational.

How do you take enough drugs to address being married to Ted Cruz without dying? I would think there’s a very narrow therapeutic range.

That’s only true if you live in a fairyland. If you look at actual data from the real world, poor people who work hard and make “no mistakes” as you put it STAY POOR. Being rich is for people who are already rich.

Success and being rich have nothing to do with each other. Neither do working hard and being rich. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s literally what the data says. People who are born poor are gonna stay poor and have poor children, and anecdotal exceptions are few and far between. Get your head out of your ass.

Income inequality keeps growing wider. Productivity keeps going up. Wages keep staying flat.

SSRIs don’t work “as needed.” You need to take them for weeks to get any effects and they only work for people with severe depression. I wish doctors would explain this shit better and I wish people would listen to their doctors.

I have really bad news for you: we do have sufficient reason to leave. We’ve passed the point of no return for this planet. Everyone responsible will be dead by the time we have to leave, but it’s not too far off all things considered. So we better get this travel thing figured out, and more importantly we better…

Obama is black. Now, I know to you and me that’s not really a thing, but to Ted Cruz and the Trump larvae it’s a really big deal and they’re very bitter and angry about it.

They don’t

We don’t agree on what privilege is.

“you don’t know whether the cat is alive or dead until you open the box”

Disturbingly possible.

The system is by nature racist. Even people who aren’t racist will find it impossible to enforce the law without racism. It’s baked in.

They truly believe they deserve it, it’s just that they don’t believe knowledge or qualifications factor into it.

While fartknocker is a hilarious word that I remember fondly from middle school, it is also certainly based in homophobia.

LMFAO at the quantum physics cameo there

You’re not answering my question except with ad hominem and a variety of other well established fallacies. You’re telling me why your beliefs are pleasant, not why they’re correct. My question is how do you know, not what do you believe. Just because a belief is nice doesn’t have any bearing on whether it is true or…

I have a lot of experience with religion, so I’m not sure where you’re getting that. Are you assuming that exposure to religion guarantees belief?

It’s actually specifically forbidden. Unless you examine the person directly, it’s unethical and unscientific to diagnose them with a mental illness.
