So the narrative is good and anything that criticizes that narrative is "hate speech?"

Not at all.

But you can certainly argue for hidden variable theories like Bohmian mechanics, despite it being fringe.

But we know that acknowledgement improves the suicidal ideation of transgender people, so speculating (without any academic expertise) that they don't exist is less likely to get a pass.

You can even argue against climate science, even though the greenhouse effect isn't questionable.

Or should I interpret "LMAO" as your acceptance that vaccines decrease all cause mortality.

I read up a little bit on IgG4. "nothing to see here, we don't need to kill this" is not really the case, and it's also overstating our understanding. I does appear to be a response to reduce inflammation, which might be necessary since covid infection and (to a lesser extent) the covid vaccines are related to a small increase in myocarditis.

But no study has ever shown that the vaccine increases the susceptibility to the infection. The protection was well over 95% for the initial variants of CoVID against hospitalization and death from infection. Some of the variants that spread well later were ones that evaded a lot of that protection. But it never got close to zero, and certainly not negative.

It assumes that all Justices vote politics and ignore the law

The federalist society certainly has an agenda. There's some cases where they follow the law, but they're anti-woman, anti-intersex, anti-gay, and anti-separation of church and state, only in the case of Christianity.

The supreme court has never been corrupt, imo.

If the gifts that Clarence Thomas has taken from the federalist society aren't corrupt, why did he neglect to declare them?

You don't need to hide behaviour that's not reproachable.

And Barret has almost no experience as a justice.

Barrett has spent virtually all of her professional life in academia. Until President Trump nominated her to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017, she had never been a judge, never worked in the government as a prosecutor, defense lawyer, solicitor general, or attorney general, or served as counsel to any legislative body—the usual professional channels that Supreme Court nominees tend to hail from.

And yes, after 2016, the divisiveness in this country amped up to 11. "RED or BLUE! You must choose."

Yeah. But while red had had a couple of presidents elected on a minority of votes, and that had slanted the supreme court right of the will of the people, it's not the side of politics that increased the division. It's the extreme practises. Terrorism. Insurgency. Nepotism. Corruption of Justice.

I was always left of center until then.

When RBG was elected to the supreme court she was right in the centre. When she died she was the last one holding the left from the federalist society weirdos. America hasn't just edged slightly to the right.

Basically for all areas with any development to be walkable then all areas either have to be 100% non-developed or 100% developed, with no in between.

Are you saying that the only areas that are walkable are wilderness and buildings?

Because that's not true.

It's just not realistic for these lower density areas to be walkable, or just randomly cease to exist.

You can increase the walkability of suburbia by ensuring safe pedestrian infrastructure and providing shade and lighting. And by putting walking paths and small parks between streets to make the area more permeable and pleasant to pedestrians.

It can be done without dramatically increasing or eliminating population density.

Or are they going actually bulldoze entire counties worth of developed land to turn it into farm land?

No this law is only about solicitation, which is currently illegal, but the penalty is only 2 days to 1 year minus one day. And it only applies if the perp knew or should reasonably have known that the victim was a minor.

Actually having sex with someone under 18 is still statutory rape in California. (Unless you're married to them). And if the perpetrator engaged in violence, physical force, threats, coercion, fraud or if they invoked a fear in the victim of retaliation or physical harm against themselves or another person, then it's still rape.

So, does this mean that pedophilia is now legal in California, as long as the sex is paid for, and it isn't actually a forcible rape?

No.

If you have sex with someone under 18 who isn't your spouse in California, you commit statutory rape, and will be liable for 2,3 or 4 years in prison, depending on the age difference.

If they were coerced by violence, duress, threats or fraud, (as I imagine would generally be the case in the case of child prostitution), then that is rape in California, which can get you up to 13 years in prison if the victim is a minor.

What the law would have done was to make solicitation of a minor, whether or not the person knew it was a minor, punishable by 2,3, or 4 years prison. Replacing a current less than 1 year sentence, that only applies if the person knew, or reasonably should have known that they were a minor.

It was modified to not include solicitation of 16 and 17 years olds.

Tbh, it's not obvious that solicitation of a minor should be a crime if the perpetrator didn't know and it's not the case that they reasonably should have known that they were soliciting a minor.

Nope. Even in a democracy, there is an objective reality.

Jones has no money, anymore.

He seems to be spending someone's money, unabated.

How can he sue?

If he's got a case (which I doubt), and he is out of money (which I doubt), and no right wing nutjob like Tucker, or someone like Roger want to repay him for that nude of his wife gets him a lawyer ... then there will be lawyers that will take it on a no-win no-fee basis.

Some facts for the uninformed:

Rittenhouse never brought a case for defamation against Goldberg.
She certainly didn't make a settlement agreement with him that involves paying him anything, much less $22 million.
There is no lien on Goldberg's home.
Goldberg's home is in Llewellyn Park, New Jersey, not Beverly Hills, California.
She did own a home in LA from 1993 until 2018. But it was in Pacific Palisades, not Beverly Hills.

Don't know. But say "hi" to penny for me.

The study only shows that praying for other people doesn't affect their health, (or fertility). Praying for a penny may work.

GDP is not an accurate barometer for prosperity.

No, it's a proxy. California does earn a lot of money though. And they pay their way, and covering the arse of those failed states. For every $1 paid in taxes, New Mexico gets $3.26 in federal funding. That's failure.

The homeless population per capita in Texas was 81 people for every 100,000 residents, compared to California’s 439 people.

Homeless population per capita is not an accurate barometer for failure of a state. It just means more people want to be there than there is available housing. Which refutes the premise of this thread.

Gee, that failed state would be the world's 6th largest economy if it was an independent country, and is 50% high GDP than the next state (Texas).

It pays more federal tax than it receives in federal funding.

If all US states could fail like California, the federal government would have a surplus, and the country would be an economic powerhouse.

According to the Heritage Foundation.

Who have unscientific positions on transgender rights and climate change as well as voter fraud.

They have also reversed their position of supporting Ukraine, and while supporting the communist dictatorship Russia in its expansionist goal, disparage Black Lives Matter as "marxist".

What I'm saying is you'll need a better and at least rational source to be convincing.

There are people here that are trying to keep the place small and niche for users who aren't magahats who's family trees don't have branches, or anti-science conspiracy theorist nutcases.

The comment "Fuck off back to reddit" is commonly seen as a response to a perfectly engageable comment that is high enough on the pyramid of debate to engage with rationally. This leaves a very small community of people who feel welcome.

That means that you don't get any of the fun people here that reddit has.

Or maybe prayer doesn't work, and if you want to do some good in the world, you have to get off your knees and actually do something yourself.

That's the most likely because the data doesn't support some prayers working, and god getting upset at being tested and so letting people suffer instead is too fragile an ego for the omniscient and all powerful. As well as being too spiteful for the all loving.
