With the possible exception of the causes and potential cures for cancer, perhaps no subject has received more rigorous study over the past few decades than the environmental effects of replacing fossil fuels with electricity generated by a grid-mix that is growing cleaner with each passing year.
Of course, this doesn’t prevent idiots from posting the same memes that were so popular in the late 1990s.
Anyone who imputes any honesty and sincerity to the evangelical Christians is an absolute fool.
If you’re concerned about gun safety and the protection of our children, that’s wonderful–and there is no question that any Democrat is a better answer for you than any Republican. The same can be said about quality education, healthcare, women’s rights, and dozens of other humanitarian issues.
Yet what sits at the top of the decision-making tree when it comes to Biden and Trump is that one of them is simply old, and other is a criminal sociopath.
That’s huge.
FWIW, I completely agree with Julia Louis-Dreyfus here. Being “PC” means having a sensitive awareness of other people, and that’s never a bad thing, IMO.
Do you ever get a text that starts like this? “Hi, (Craig). Joe Biden here, asking you for your support in the upcoming election….”
Anyone’s first thought would be that the president of the United States is most definitely not sending out text messages, and that’s a good thing, considering that his time would be better spent on arenas related to world peace, managing Russia’s unprovoked attack on Eastern Europe, growing the job market, controlling inflation, and moving the nation forward in climate change mitigation.
Similarly, the advertisement shown above was not written by Biden, but the reason I’m confident in that is different: it invokes the grammatical prowess of perhaps a 7th grade kid who’s struggling with English.
“Myself” is a reflexive pronoun, and is not a substitute for the word “I,” which is the subjective first person singular pronoun. Also, if there is more than one subject of the sentence, as is the case here, “I” belongs as the last one.
We’re surrounded by the words of human history’s greatest minds, many of whom seem to be reminding us of the jeopardy in which we find ourselves today.
After the president of the United States who was elected in 2016 lost in 2020, he went on a mission to retain power, and in the most blatantly illegal means imaginable.
Most of us would agree that music programs are wonderful things to have in our schools, but we need to learn how to think logically at the same time.
Is it possible that:
Schools with music programs are simply better than average schools, with other characteristics, e.g., better teachers, that cause higher graduation rates?
Students who attend schools with music programs come from more affluent families that encourage graduation?
The map here is “sea surface temperature anomaly,” and is described as follows:
This is true by definition. Religion is based on faith, not reason. If it were provable, it would be science.
In most cases, I don’t have anything against this. People who believe they’re going to see their grandparents in heaven are not causing any real problems.
Exceptions:
Religion taught in schools as science, e.g., creationism.
Violence inflicted in the name of religion, examples of which are too numerous to mention.
Fanaticism that results in stupidity, e.g., evangelical Christians for Trump.
The meme here reminds me of a thought I had during my first (and only) course on the subject:
There’s no guarantee that the human mind evolved so as to make sense of the universe, and it appears that, in fact, it did not. We’re used to dealing with things around us that we can see and touch, like spears, rocks, and bodies of water. To say that two particles on opposite sides of the universe affect one another instantaneously is so completely counter-intuitive that trying to figure this stuff out might just be folly.
