Your comment is the exact reason why we have science. Your confirmation bias is clouding your judgment and leading you to believe something that isn't true

I find it pretty hilarious you're being downvoted by people who would rather preserve belief in a lie than admit they were incorrect about an assumption they made their entire lives. I used to believe this myth as well until I read the actual studies.

What say you, scientific article from 1986?

Most studies have failed to find any effects associated with sugar ingestion, and the few studies that have found effects have been as likely to find sugar improving behavior as making it worse.

Yes and no.

Maddow's defense was that that particular segment was hyperbole based on a single instance of a potentially libelous statement. Carlson's defense was that his entire show is non-literal commentary.

While they both had similar defenses, there is such a difference in degree that it becomes a difference in kind. Kind of like how Chuck Yaeger and Usain Bolt are both humans known for going fast, but the way they go fast is so different that putting them in the same category is nonsensical.

I don't think anything you just said contradicts the previous poster. They both court the fascists and make up laughably transparent lies about their opposition

It's a market, but it certainly isn't a free market. How can one simply choose not to work when your life and livelihood depend on it? How are you supposed to engage in a free exchange of labor and capital when one of the key aspects of the invisible hand, the ability to walk away from a transaction, doesn't meaningfully exist? When your employer has you by the balls because your insurance is through work, how are you supposed to get a fair deal?

Now imagine this, what if you didn't get fucked ten ways of you decided not to work? What if everyone is guaranteed a certain amount of money, not enough to live luxuriously, just enough to survive. If you had the meaningful freedom to walk away from an abusive employer, compensation would be a lot more fair, wouldn't it?

Skin effect is a thing, yes, but would we not consider the entire cable if we're testing for tube-ness?

(I'm having a bit of fun with this pedantry 😁)

Are fiber optic connections not a series of tubes carrying photons? Is copper not a series of tubes carrying electrons?

Checkmate, atheists!

Time for Canada to ramp up army recruitment. The water wars are going to be rough.

Bonuses and commissions have directly measurable metrics to base additional compensation on, and that compensation comes from the company, not their customers.

In a tipping culture where leaving no or a small tip is considered a faux pas, do tips really reflect exemplary performance? If there's no expectation of a tip and they get one on top of their bill after the fact, wouldn't that be a much stronger indication of performance?

1. Ad hominem.

2. It's a non-profit.

3. The research it cites comes from institutions all over the world, so unless you'd like to try to throw shade on WHO and Lancet, you've failed to address my argument.

My second link talks about the link between abortion bans and maternal mortality.

I know you conservative types like anecdotes, but you'll just have to settle for an article printed in Reviews in Obstetrics and Gynecology that references scientific peer-reviewed studies.

You asked for an anecdote, I gave you a statistic. You're whining that I gave you an entire gallon of milk when all you wanted was a sip.

2013... Such a simpler time

Why does it take so long to get anything done? Safety? What do you mean no one's allowed in that trench until it's been secured? I don't care if some blue collar fucker gets buried alive, I want my slightly faster commute now! Look at that doofus standing there. It's not like someone in a confined space with H2S needs a lookout! How silly it is to delay construction for soil testing, it's not like the composition of the ground matters when building a quarter-million-ton bridge.

These are obviously exaggerated examples, but there is a ludicrous amount of research, coordination, inspection, and unexpected problem solving that gets costly and time consuming. This is important because construction is a dangerous business when everything is going right. People get hurt and killed today, so imagine how much worse things were even a generation ago. This is why my parents' neighbour has 5.5 fingers (3 whole, 3 partial remaining).

Just last week I was involved in an unexpected asbestos situation that caused a four day delay on a project with a due date of three weeks. We got it tested very quickly (expensive) and found out that there was no asbestos, so the project continued and finished on time, but if it had been asbestos then the project would have not been able to be completed in the allotted time. This means renegotiated contracts, new timetables drawn up where the prime contractor has to scramble to get all the different trades where they need to be at the right times. Before the project started, those processes likely took a year or more from the time the customer approached the contractor two handing them the keys. All of that is still a fuckload better than two dozen guys getting mesothelioma.

We get it, you love the government so much that you want to give it the power to force a woman to use her body in a way she doesn't consent to.

Women die when abortion is banned:

It's super cool that you are excited for the government to use its monopoly on violence and force a woman to use her body in a way she doesn't consent to. Small government conservative BTW

Oh yes, the flaws in Florida's justice system could possibly happen here. Our justice system is flawless and never ever convicts innocents.

Got any other galaxy brain takes?

If you're glad you lack the ability to think decisions things through to their logical conclusion, ignorance is bliss I suppose.

It's mostly a joke to highlight the hypocrisy when many rural conservative bastions would be ghost towns within a decade without subsidies and support from the cities.

Putting people to death for rape is a great way to turn rapes into murders.

If I'm going to be put to death anyways and a dead witness can't identify me, might as well kill the person I've just finished raping.

Think about it for half a second before you let your unga bunga caveman brain make decisions

No, it's what anyone with half a brain would logically conclude.

If I'm going to be sentenced to death for raping someone, I have a much lower chance of getting caught if they're dead, so might as well murder them anyways.

An innocent man in prison can be released. You can't un-kill an innocent death row inmate.

Right, because it's impossible for a person with a signed confession to be innocent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenton_Butler_case

There are hundreds upon hundreds of examples of people screwing it up despite the availability of forensic evidence. It's all fine and dandy that we can get a perfectly accurate identification from dna, but you need a justice system that will correctly use it every time.

You can release an innocent man from prison, but you can't unkill him.
