@Popie Baby “Really, “almost everyone working at CNN”? How did you come up with that conclusion?”

@Popie Baby says: OK, because this guy (Saagar?) says so.

I give up. You win because you made me waste 7 minutes listening for real evidence.

That’s weird. It seems almost everyone working at CNN hated the town hall, hated the whole idea of covering the NEWS.

Really, “almost everyone working at CNN”? How did you come up with that conclusion? And would you focus more than on just “workers”, e.g. focus more on programming decision makers?

Gawd, please don’t ask me to c…[Read more]

To word my opinion more clearly, if anything, I’m pissed about CNN using their Trump interview as a way to accumulate ammo for their opinionators. It’s not the interview itself that bothers me. It’s the way they, and so much media now, just want to feed the outrage machines.

And it works.

I’m sorry I pressed the report button on your post.

I don’t understand.

Well, here’s the old pat on the back for being better than most lesser beings. If you want to feel superior to me, go ahead if that’s a good use of your time.

Umm, thanks Dad!

But seriously, I’m recently a lot more pissed off about the high percentage of humans who just mindlessly click away on clickbait titles, and watch crap. So…[Read more]

I’ve been watching the so-called liberals and liberal party become more and more in favor of controlling the public narrative through the suppression of opposing views, revealing a sad disbelief in the power of their counter narrative..

Why watch mainstream media at all? I didn’t watch that CNN Show. So maybe it influences some i…[Read more]

We say, for example, that this or that species “doesn’t belong here” that they “belong in Asia (Europe, Africa, etc.).” But every species belongs where it can make a home for itself.

@All Let’s get back to how to deal with incipient super killers.

Drat! I had a response to something you just posted here.

I think the Pope is being a little theatrically dense.

LOL, then you don’t know me well enough. Sometimes, as in this case, I’m just dense, and it was a sincere question. I suppose I was also too lazy to re-read previous posts to analyze the fuller context.

Anyway thanks for your clarification and/or support for RichRaelian in…[Read more]

A lobotomy may take away someone’s humanity, in a sense, but what if the person is inhuman?

So far, I feel strongly that Strega’s suggestions on detection, humane treatment and prevention best illustrate the bare minimum approach we need. Focus on learning why/how some humans take this kind of dysfunctional route, before horrible a…[Read more]

Hi! Why would you want to do that?

Sorry, why would who want to do what?

5150, 5250, and other codes defined by law are controversial in California. I wouldn’t mind hearing from a Libertarian how they’d want to deal with citizens who are potentially a threat to society, or if they’d even care about it.

I’ve not formed a strong opinion on this kind of intervention yet, but I’m pretty sure the issue of forced…[Read more]

I’ve learned to not join the masses who click on something just because Google recommends it. Out of a matter of principle now, I also don’t click on titles with superlative phrases, or even something like “The REAL truth about blah blah”, unless I’m familiar with the source. These days I often only see maybe one title out of twenty five that…[Read more]

Is the only solution to go third-party, which in today’s world may hand the election over to the GOP’s proto-dictator?

Culture’s changed quite a lot and unpredictably since the Constitution was written. Gerrymandering and other processes enable two parties alone to run all politics, recently even packing SCOTUS by the most cur…[Read more]

The scientific  explanation could be as simple as: It ‘s due to dark matter,  even that would be suspected of fine tuning.

Yeah I thought of that too… which is why my attention went to JWST as the instrument to more precisely measure orbital dynamics in other planetary systems.

I think probably the notion of “fine tuning” wil…[Read more]
