Re: Ohio Disaster
We all have our own judgments of what is credible and what is honest. There is a usually a consensus of who is a credible and and an honest person and who is not. It would have been another thing entirely had you responded to the video by saying, "I don't believe a word Tucker Carlson says bec...

Re: Ohio Disaster
Define credible and define honest - by what/whose standards that we absolutists (not relativists) would likely agree upon. All the more reason, in this day and age, to show your work. Thankfully, the concept of ideas supported by facts, and facts supported by references (or by a cogent argument) is...

Re: Ohio Disaster
Did Tucker C show any clips from this news conference? I'm guessing not because it would not fit his mis-information / entertainment / money making show. The last time you made a blanket charge of "misinformation" against a conservative news host, you flat-out refused to specify what part...

Re: ChatGPT and what it means for our future
When I was a little girl, the latest and greatest thing was a hard plastic doll called "Chatty Cathy." She had a string coming out of the back of her neck that, when pulled, caused her to speak out of a patch of holes in her chest. In a garbly voice, she'd say things like, "I love you...

The environmental disaster taking place in Ohio from a Norfolk Southern derailed train should outrage both sides of the political aisle.

Re: The Twitter Files
So after three weeks of debate over whether to search Pence's home, they finally decide to do it. And after three weeks of notice, they find classified documents.
This is getting absurd.

Asperger's is an interesting subject that deserves its own thread. It is generally described as "high functioning autism," consistent with the idea that autism presents on a spectrum. The idea of a spectrum (think linear) is probably a crude representation of what is really going on, since...

I twice read what was at the URL. However, I failed to find any mention of any "dems". The lack of 'independent thinking' in the above response was the refusal to entertain a conclusion that is not overtly put forward in a published article. The idea that if there isn't an article that sa...
