From article: "A dozen patients had inflammation of the central nervous system, 10 had brain disease with delirium or psychosis, eight had strokes and a further eight had peripheral nerve problems, mostly diagnosed as Guillain-Barré syndrome, an immune reaction that attacks the nerves and causes paralysis. It is fatal in 5% of cases." Freaky stuff. I'm just wondering if they're saying that these disorders are directly caused by corona whereby anyone can be affected like this, or is covid exacerbating certain medical conditions. for example, is it causing Guillain-Barré syndrome, or is it making the symptoms of that disease more severe. (not trying to dismiss anything, just trying to understand.)

Nobody said that. You are making things up again.

No, second part of of the second quote of that post. Ya, it says the pig likes it. Aren't you the one who said "it's so much fun trolling?"

If I make a strawman argument, you know, it requires that *I* be the one to say it? You link to one of your own posts... Stop trolling again - it's quoted right there in that post, right in front of your face.

You already got one thread shut down with your inability to stop weaseling on this topic. But in reality, it was immediately shutdown after olof called people nazis for the second time - after his admitted trolling and contradictory/strawman arguments as cited above.

Your admitted trolling here and here, and calling people nazis here and here, was likely the result of falling victim to your own strawman quoted here. And I'd like to know how your original trolling comment quoted here, and your original nazi comment quoted here got deleted. (and by deleted, I don't me edited out, I mean deleted, as in gone, not indexed or searchable.) . . .and btw, how many warning points did Bill give you for all that? Dude, you were the one that went out of your way to post bunch of cloeups that magnified the glaringly obvious contradiction to the two arguments that your were trying to support. No worries tho, there was another poster here that was notorious for doing that - you're in good company.

It's behind a paywall and I can't disable java right now. Won't work in private mode either. I'm having some cameras delivered today and my drone should be back from the repair shop so I'll probably be a bit preoccupied with work for who knows how long. Maybe I'll read it while recording some timelapse. Meh, the timelapse didn't make his opinion any shorter. . .

Jesus you are desperate. Just like those that imagine an eagle with an american flag is racist and that anyone that dares to disagrees must be a trump supporting nazi! Seriously, I can't even wear a normal american flag t-shirt without some liberals up here scoffing at it.

Well, evolution is pretty applicable in a society where antibiotic resistance is evolving in almost every bacterial pathogen out there - don't you think? But the responsibility there mainly lies with physicians and how often or not they prescribe those antibiotics. And if they do, they have a responsibility to inform their patients to strictly follow the dosing guidelines and to make sure they finish it regardless if their condition improved prior to that. A typical person doesn't really have to understand the details, they just need a good doctor that they trust. It has it's place, sure.

I'm having some cameras delivered today and my drone should be back from the repair shop so I'll probably be a bit preoccupied with work for who knows how long. Maybe I'll read it while recording some timelapse. And in case you're wondering, I crashed the drone into a pentagon memorial of all things. After it fell to the ground you could see me looking like an idiot on camera wearing my "land of the free" American flag shirt. Very embarrassing - pain in the ass. I take this stuff very seriously and was very hard on myself. I'm re-evaluating my methods and it will be awhile before I attempt risky maneuvers and shots form various angles. When we do what we do, it's likely we're going to crash a few, but the shot I was attempting wasn't even worth it. Anyway, UPS just dropped it off - I'm excited!

My objection was to dekker's opinion that the right leaning population was anti-science, not that liberals are more receptive to several subsets of science. And there are plenty of liberal anti-vaxers and those into homeopathy - doesn't mean liberals are anti-science. And aside from climate change and stem cell research, how would a typical person's receptiveness to the other three areas really matter to society as a whole? And of the conservative/liberals that are receptive, how many are just blindly following without ever studying or truly understanding it? How many couldn't understand it even if they tried? One of the issues imo is that science is ever changing and modifying itself the more we learn, so of course there is going to be opposition to long term policy especially if it's in stark opposition to one's social/political/economic ideology.

It doesn't agree with your premise so you just quickly dismiss it? Now who's being anti science?

I just found those with a quick search and still need to to read them in depth, but this one also supports the idea I posted awhile back that the worst thing for green tech is to market as green tech, especially if you're trying to sell it to conservatives. Just market it as some new cool tech that's going to make your life easier or whatever. Simple.

I've learned that when people feel the need to say there is no doubt, there usual is. Love the Science, Hate the Scientists: Conservative Identity Protects Belief in Science and Undermines Trust in Scientists "By leveraging research on the performativity of conservative identity, we argue that conservative scientific institutions have manufactured a scientific cultural repertoire that enables participation in this highly valued epistemological space while undermining scientific authority perceived as politically biased." The influence of political ideology on trust in science "our results confirm the expectations of the Anti-Reflexivity Thesis. Conservatives report less trust in impact scientists but greater trust in production scientists than their liberal counterparts. We argue that further work that increases the accuracy and depth of our understanding of the relationship between political ideology and views about science is likely crucial for addressing the politicized science-based issues of our age." And as an aside, I'm not sure if it's really distrust of the actual scientists. I can't remember how many times I've read some biased msm article that cites some study/peer reviewed journal to support their entire premise, and then when I read the actual study/article, all they really did was cherry pick a sentence or two out of context that really didn't convey what the study was actually addressing.

And that's why this whole thing is so tragic. When just a quarter of the country really agrees on something, they can achieve remarkable feats - imagine what we could accomplish if we all agreed. . . .and I know that's easy to say, but I think if we all worked more toward general agreement rather than bitter contention while still finding balance and holding true to our own principles, then it's possible. (Jeeze, I don't know where that came from - it's so idealistic I almost threw-up in my mouth a little, but I can't deny it's truth.)

I guess George Floyd is still alive then. And Eric Garner. And James brown. And Willie Ray Banks*. And Byron Williams. And... well just a shitload of people. *(Pay close attention to that one, the cop is as ignorant as you on how suffocation works.) You're right, that was an irresponsible statement. I was speaking of my own experience and it shouldn't be extrapolated. Agreed.

I ran from the cops in my 20s. Had about a good 15-20 yard jump, but I thought better of it, knelt down and put my hands on my head. A few seconds later it felt like I was hit by a mac truck, handcuffed, beaten in my head, face and everywhere else - maced repeatedly. I tried digging my face into the gravel to escape the mace, but the cop dug his hand into the gravel and released what seemed to be an entire can into my eye. They completely fucked me up and I had that moment when you feel that this is it, that I'm literally going to die like this. And let me tell you, when you really can't breathe, there is no way you can say you can't breathe. Was never charged or sentenced to jail, fines or prison for fleeing police - gotta love that white privilege, eh?

Sorry about that. Me too. After 10+ years here, I should've known better.

Mostly because blacks, moreso than whites tend to live in densely populated areas where there are shitloads more of police. I remember a couple years ago (I'm sure there are more recent examples) when Chicago deployed an additional 400+ police to the southside because of the increasing level of gang crime. That place is like 93% black - so of course the numbers are going to be disproportionate across the board.

Maybe not back in the 80s during the whole war on drugs thing when they enacted the 100-1 rule, but it was certainly a major focal point in the 90s. The crime bill called for the sentencing commission to study it and determined that it was the primary factor driving the racial disparity and called for it to be scrapped. However, the republicans just ignored it and sent it through. Clinton had just given a speech about how "blacks are right to think something is terribly wrong, when there are more African American men in our correction system than in our colleges; when almost one in three African American men, in their twenties, are either in jail, on parole, or otherwise under the supervision of the criminal system. Nearly one in three.” . . .and then what does he do? He signs the bill anyway fully aware of the problem and in direct opposition to the sentencing commissions recommendation and completely ignoring calls from various civil rights organizations demanding he veto the bill because of the 100-1 disparity. Baltimore Sun: "Civil rights organizations had led a telephone campaign to pressure the president to veto the bill. At a rally last week in Chicago, the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson said that Mr. Clinton had the chance, "with one stroke of your veto pen, to correct the most grievous racial injustice built into our legal system." And then Bill, along with Hillary, and now Joe want you all to believe that it was all just some "unintended consequence" - fuck them. The republicans were right to vote outside the box, it's just too fucking bad it had to be Trump.

Bonanza

No, my original point was: So the question will be "which of these 3 eagles shows the tail?" No, the whole point of the bet was to show how confident you were that it was a vent. Apparently not at all. So you're just another poser here that doesn't really beilieve the shit they say. You may want to take a course in communicative rationality.

Okay, let's go with the original one. So you're betting $30,000 that the majority of the people will say that it's a vent and not a tail?

Well, with this new selection of Nazi eagles...let's play for keeps. Say, US$30,000? Ha, you're still changing the goal post. There was only one nazi eagle in YOUR comparison. Looks like you're not so confident anymore.

Thanks for conceding. Nah, that's just your typical selective quoting. But you said it was a vent, lol. I mean at least try to be consistent. You're also overlooking the differences in the logos that show some leg - which also works against your argument.
