Politics And Current Events

So you deny your confirmation bias? This whole pages long diatribe was built on the foundation of a logical fallacy. I take L’s a lot, it’s okay for you to take one. Unusual that you fell into a logical fallacy trap but as you know, you ruined any standing you had when you took that approach. Confi...

I’m someone who makes a living in education. I’ve taught in some of the most middling schools in front of countless average minds. I make just north of half six figures evaluating if people learn or don’t learn, so I have plenty of understanding on this and should be trusted. No one is learning any...

Can anyone who has recently been to both places opine on how GE and Wegman’s do compare price-wise? I haven't been in a Wegman’s in decades. One opened in Binghamton NY in the last couple years my late bum father lived there, and he took me there a couple times during my visits. That was probably 30...

Don’t be so mad that your confirmation bias clouded your view. After all, in a court of law, if it was pointed out you argued using a logical fallacy it’s an automatic win. Here's a three-hour long podcast from über-reliable and unbiased source Wendy Bell that clearly explains how the NYT is fake n...

Are you disputing their reporting that Alito flew that flag in his NJ beach house?

So they made it up?

Christ almighty, are you deaf? No rational person could ever believe something from that "source."

The difference, Brainiac, is the Times article is news reporting not an opinion piece.

Buddy. It’s a libertarian Think Tank backed by the Koch brothers. Think Tank workers put out work that aligns with their backers because they get paid well to do it. I know you like it because it aligns with your views (which seem more warped by the day) but it’s pretty easy to dismiss an opinion p...

I don't get it, is the premise here that we're not supposed to dismiss arguments/viewpoints from biased sources? You certainly can if the arguments/viewpoints are themselves incorrect or biased on the merits, and you can say how and why. But the mere fact that a source is, in your opinion, biased o...

I suggest touching grass every so often. It’s nice.

Telling someone to "touch grass" is also a fallacy in that it does not respond to the merits of what someone is saying.

If any of you are wondering if I do this in real life, I've cited Logic for Lawyers : A Guide to Clear Legal Thinking by the late Hon. Ruggero J.

Is this where I say I’m rubber and you’re glue? Because you’re using the same terrible arguing you dismissed me for. How so?

From the first line of what the Cato Institute describes itself as being it makes it plain as day that there is a strong bias towards a certain way of approaching things.

Wine, Scotch, Rum, Tequila, Vodka, and the like

Malört does offer packs of airplane bottles. That's what I bought last year in Chicago. I still have one left. It starts off with a bit of hoppy bitterness, with a bit of that sort of piney/citrus flavor, but any citrus notes quickly fade into a nearly pure bitterness. There's not the slightest hint...
