Then you helped Trump get elected.
How is that not apathy?
We did—with apathy. Not enough people voted. Too many “but they’re both terrible” idiots.
He is such a fucking national embaressment.
The Dept of Energy also manages the Office of Science, which is responsible for much of the fundamental science research done (climate and atmospheric sciences included) in this country. His dumb hot takes that question the very research his organization manages is not good but is very relevant to his actual…
Well, he’s in charge of the nukes, but also in charge of... the DoE budget allocations and billions in investments in energy regulation. It’s convenient to say the EPA does everything, but the DOE has a lot to do with our energy policy at large. And CO2 is a part of that.
The thing about “science,” unlike “faith” or “just making shit up,” is the results are out there for others to CHALLENGE. If the methods are crap, data is made up, or what have you... then it won’t stand the test of time (unlike the bit about Noah’s ark, or Creation, or any of the other crap that Religion passes of as…
You should not be skeptical of science. You should, however, be entirely skeptical of science-sounding commercial promotion that is based on incomplete research that is not from a legitimate university-affiliated source or published in any of the many scientific journals that have an International Serial Standard…
Science is perfectly fine, thanks. It’s the scientifically illiterate writers and “journalists” who parrot PR pieces or misinterpret (willfully or not) regurgitated abstracts to sell papers/magazines/views that are the real problem.
Yeah, why trust the conclusions of digital forensics experts and intelligence officials? Everybody knows they’re just randomly guessing.
No. I will continue to portray President Trump as the macabre, panic-inducing cartoon that he is. If I don’t have the freedom to express my point of view as I’d like, then we’ve already lost this great battle for liberty, and Russia might as well move into the West Wing.
When I’ve done rape cases I’m also really careful about running afoul of the rape shield laws - i.e., no character evidence implying that the alleged victim is promiscuous. That’s not exactly the contention here but I’m surprised more prosecutors don’t challenge those types of defense strategies.
Look, I don’t care that they didn’t have a plan, that “All Along the Watchtower” scene was freakin’ awesome. When all the characters start to sing along to it, it was just so bizarre and unusual.
I wanted to like this. I wanted to love it... but I found the first two episodes so intolerably dull I couldn’t go on. It had a very student film feel... like it had some interesting ideas, but was way too caught up in its characters endless day-to-day banalities (possibly due to budget).
Did I miss something? Did I…
But regulations kill industries!!!!!!
“I had TWO black friends in middle school”
“I love hip hop!”
That sucking sound is all of our intelligence sources drying up.
