The heaven and hell in both examples and in all examples will be the subjective interpretation of the person experiencing the event. Theoretically, th...

This kind of talk makes me so wet. Said nobody ever. That's a funnier comment so I added it.

This might be specific and not general. All other examples of specific cases had prepositional phrases except this one. Unless you assert "to be good"...

This all feels like pragmatics. Sure, it's better to be able to trust, just so I can know what to expect. I trust the Klansman to be a racist, and in ...

You use "trust" here to mean you accept its veracity, except with your last example where you use it to mean you expect certain results. You have ther...

For the record, my family has been consuming a record number of eggs during this pandemic. I think eggs are something everyone knows how to cook. As l...

When were these good old days? The days of the monarch or the dictator, or does that go back too far? At least now our leaders feel like they have to ...

You're a grouch. Go back to sleep.

I stand by my post as fully responsive. Maybe re-read it.

I didn't suggest we needed to increase tax revenues, so I've not advocated for any increases, either on the rich or the middle class. Biden wanting to...

I didn't realize that. What's the EU equivalent of Alabama?

Yes, but the purpose of your OP couldn't have been to convince us of the virtue of honesty because I would think that's largely uncontested. We all un...

No complicated math here, but with 24 votes so far, with 4% voting for Trump, that means only one Trump voter. :chin: My issue with the Baden accusati...

Next Trump rally maybe.

Sure, so let's feed popcorn to every infected person because we don't know what it'll do, and we might as well err on the side of caution. Best case, ...

No it's not. The primary reason we shut down the economy was to slow the spread of the disease so that our healthcare system wouldn't be overwhelmed b...

Let's say 1m will have severe cases (however we define that) on Date X if we don't quarantine at all. Let's then say we have 500k hospital beds. Assum...

Well, sure, total trust has not been lost. But do I trust the dentists like I once did, and do I just take my medicine as prescribed? I probably do a ...

Oh, please, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. You're just a de-legitimizer of all who don't speak the gospel (backatcha). I've simply questioned the exte...

You've not read the articles indicating a real question about the safety of ventilators on covid patients.
April 24, 2020 at 19:43
The suppression of the virus drags out the infection over time. What evidence do you have that fewer are going to get it overall given enough time?
April 24, 2020 at 19:42
If someone is knocking on death's door, I think you should throw everything in the hospital closet at the patient and you should wave all sorts of bra...
April 24, 2020 at 19:38
Yeah, and you don't know why they're dying. You're just hypothesizing one way (it's because they were really sick and about to die anyway), and I'm hy...
April 24, 2020 at 19:29
We know people are dying on ventilators at alarming rates. You can say it's because they were really sick and going to die anyway, or you can say the ...

Well of course. Use respirators where they ought be used, but maybe not for covid. If they don't work for those patients and they possibly hasten thei...

April 24, 2020 at 18:32
Really? Because it's the existing protocol, it must be based upon good science? It's just a tautology? Maybe show me the study you're referencing inst...

That's what the evidence is in fact showing. Google this "do ventilators help covid patients"
