Looks like the courts are blocking most of these bogus executive orders. Not too surprising.

You would certainly know. You’re behaving like one.

Wolff is fantastic.

:lol: :: shrug ::

Ok. Next time you exhume a dead thread for no reason other than some weird obsession/vendetta, take your own advice. Cool? Good— now run along, risibl...

:lol: I love it when pretentious, sanctimonious lecturers of manners and positivity reveal themselves for what they are. It’s risible.

:lol: (Risible.)

Oh cool, it’s “risible” guy again. Yeah, coming from you I’m sure this all means a lot. Contributions like “What a thread” and laughing emojis really ...

Watched “The Apartment” (1960) and “It Happened One Night” (1934). Both good. I never saw either.

Minimally. Why? Because professing benign intentions is the norm for states (and individuals) that commit crimes. Hence why they’re professed.

:up: I’m actually really nice. If people were equally nice, there’d be no problems.

No. Staying on topic isn’t a new thing.

I haven’t once mentioned universal rules. The question was clear and simple. That people are struggling with it by — for various reasons — turning it ...

Usually something this gross doesn’t get said out loud. But I appreciate the transparency.

True.

Nothing special about it.

Staying on topic isn’t that hard to enforce. I’ve done it; you’ve done it. Also, I’d refer to this: as basically what I was asking about. If it’s foun...

When Hamas gets an Air Force, let me know. But since they’ll be doing it with evil intentions in their hearts, I don’t see how it would change things.

No it doesn’t. Any more than Holocaust denial “has to do” with the consequences of the Holocaust. You can make up a story about how “Gee, they ARE tal...

When we do it it’s always with the best intentions.

It’s right there in my profile.

True, there is no moral equivalence. Bombing from the air is morally worse. But I’m glad you can see into people’s souls now. When they kill, it’s bec...

Then it’s truly remarkable how wanting to avoid those discussions by narrowing the conversation down in a separate thread is considered problematic. A...

So is there an actual problem with reading comprehension here? Or are you just being lazy? Or perhaps just wanting to be silly for some reason? How so...

Yeah, and geophysics includes flat-earthers, and evolution includes creationists, etc. Got it. Whatever you say.

Which implies one has already been made. Which is not true, except my you. Then your idea of what the “ethos” of the forum is is your own problem. I d...

.

I can’t say I fully understood all of your post, but appreciate the effort. There’s certainly a lot of debate about how best to mitigate the problems ...

:yawn: Trotting out the tired WWII comparisons and the trusty ol’ “when the good guys do it, it’s not intentional.” Keep up the good work. :up:

That’s a decent rule of thumb, sure.

Yeah, that’s been the status quo for a long time. You always seem fine with it— or find a creative way to justify it. Just do the same when it’s Pales...

So the Israeli terrorists are still exchanging hostages. Glad to see the ceasefire is holding up, despite Trump and companies best efforts to derail i...

https://interestingengineering.com/energy/sodium-ev-battery-pushes-performance Still a ways to go, but promising. There’s really not enough lithium fo...

Logic 101: those that deny the Holocaust ARE discussing the Holocaust — Namely, that its effects were nil (i.e., didn’t happen). Gotta allow that in a...

Must be fun arguing against strawmen. I, and others, don’t necessarily even agree with this — but given what’s actually been said, that’s exactly the ...

I’ll respond this one last time to you, then you’re going on ignore: Don’t worry about it. I’ve explained it before, but it really doesn’t matter. Thi...

Yeah, says the guy who takes “let’s stay on topic” as “insisting on one stance is against the forum’s ethos.” Yes, among you and those line you, I’m s...

Yeah— you’re right. Keeping a thread on a topic is definitely against the forum’s “ethos.” If you’re both too stupid to understand what’s been said, a...

I don’t even know who the hell you are, but OK! “Risible” — :lol: That tells me all I need to know about you, in any case. (Speaking of “self-awarenes...

No, it often does. Except when random imbeciles make Twitter-like comments for no reason — the joy in that comes from laughing at them, I guess. Or sh...

That’s not what was said. Try reading. Is this English? You write as well as you read. I don’t recall having any interaction with you whatsoever, so n...

Another idiot out of nowhere heard from— cool. Valuable insight. :lol:

Which had nothing to do with what you said. Which has nothing to do with what you said. And neither had much to do with what I said either.

That guy isn’t relevant. I ignored him for over a year, and I’ll do so again once I get my desktop and the ignore extension works again— and in the me...

Trump is freezing climate funds. Can he do that? “Courts have ordered the president to release Biden-era climate money — but he’s holding out.” How th...

In explaining climate change, for people who are truly interested in learning about it, I always like to start with an easy experiment: you can take t...

It’s exactly consistent with the ethos of the forum, and actually saves moderators time. So I have no idea what you’re talking about.

From NY Times. Laughable.

What’s already in place: if you want to debate climate change, whether it’s happening, whether it’s human caused, etc., go to the debate thread. Simpl...

I’m not advocating that. There is such a thing as staying on topic. The topic isn’t to debate whether climate change is happening. That should be a se...
