World is already heading that way. It’s one of the few instances that requires your “real” email address and has deleted political threads.

Hmm, sounds like your freedom of speech was suppressed, at least according to the standard Elon espouses. I wonder why he now feels so strongly about doing the opposite thing from what he wanted before. 🤔

She was the first person I thought of.

Second, probably Patrick Stewart.

Then, I think, Sigourney Weaver.

They are. They just lack morals and empathy. They’re incapable of feeling shame for exploiting other humans.

Yeah, so good! This was Netflix’s True Detective and they just…dropped it?

These people are attention seekers, which explains the CT purchase in the first place.

I have had the opposite problem you’ve had with direct observation versus dictation from scientific sources.

It is why I struggle with chemistry concepts. Sure, I can see the reactions, but I cannot see the atomic structure of compounds. It requires trust in something you can’t observe.

I learned that much of what I was taught as a child was either not completely true or entirely false, which led to apathy toward knowledge building. What was the point if so much collective knowledge is falsehood? How can one ever determine what’s truly true or really false? There are, of course, objective truths we’ve established through science, but what about things like the food pyramid, the sugar industry telling us that fat was the problem, or learning that our government does, in fact, spy on us through the telecommunications infrastructure? That last one was once the stuff of tin foil hat conspiracy theory.

Anyway, you sound smarter than me. I’m envious.

The Giants front office seems like it’s run by the same types that could bankrupt a casino.

What a sideways dunk, lol.

I agree with this. It’s ruining football. Want a first down? Simply put your WRs on go routes and toss the ball at them. If a defender touches them, boom, first down and probably a huge yardage gain.
