All the points look like they’re on roads to me

That’s my guess: stop, GPS off, next point, GPS on, GPS off, next point.

The first and easiest thing would be to invent calculus. I’m sure other things would pop up situationally, I could probably get basic electricity going with a bit of experimentation.

I’m sure the Obama-tan-suit-scandal people are up in arms

I prefer the generic ones that say “Thank You”

This just looks like a curved didgeridoo, am I missing the saxophone part? I don’t see a reed, or valves, or any brass. Curving an instrument isn’t a characteristically saxophone thing, it’s just a cumbersome instrument thing.

She’s not yours

That article says that a House Republican-led subcommittee came to that conclusion based on shakey evidence at best, made several other unfounded claims unrelated to the origin, and was criticized heavily by House Democrats. Their main piece of evidence was the Wuhan lab experimenting with distantly related COVID variants.

I would not call that “confirmed”.

He actually came to the US on asylum from M-13, who were threatening him and his family. El Salvador is the one country on Earth he can’t legally be sent to.

I would not make this requestings of a friend, much less enemy man

That’s actually a thing

Completely agree.

There are literally hundreds of complex interconnected issues that affect our daily lives. It is impossible to have a well-informed stance on all of them. No one benefits from strong opinions based on an oversimplified understanding. That’s childish.

It is absolutely difficult and very time consuming

Well, at least they’re asking

There’s “science” the process, referring to the scientific method, and “science” the object, referring to the body of findings.

I trust science(p), because there really isn’t any better way we know of to approximate truth. I don’t “trust” science(o) because the whole point of science(p) is to constantly, vigilantly scrutinize and test science(o). I do cautiously accept most science(o) in my daily life, but always with the caveat that new information may change things. I would hope most scientists would agree.

I turned on my volume the other night to make sure I heard my alarm, and forgot to turn it off. I learned a lot of notification sounds that day. Or would have if I’d paid attention beyond “Oh, a notification”

No system is perfect, any attempt at justice will either end with dangerous, guilty people walking free or innocent people incarcerated. The Justice system needs reform but there’s no easy solution.

Sure, but at least if they’re wrongly incarcerated you can free them and pay damages. You can’t undo death.

The death penalty is ethically wrong to me because you can’t trust the system 100%, even in the best case. Death row inmates have been exonerated with additional evidence, or just better processing of existing evidence, or other reasons. Unless the judicial system is 100% accurate (which, spoiler, it neither is nor possibly can be), you introduce the possibility of executing innocent people, which should be abhorrent to everyone.
