    Those are far too generic of things to place you on the spectrum more than, “not a conservative fuckwad that doesn’t care about others”, which itself is a huge spectrum.

    As Cowbee said, a lot of the differentiation on the left is economic prescription, and your plan for how to bring that prescription in to reality. Most all of the left is socially progressive and accepts others, so that’s not differentiating much.



  • Fun fact: that’s not how humidity works. It, in fact, DOES help to get water to evaporate by forcing the local humidity around the phone to stay low. Otherwise you may as well say all the people doing 3D printing that use desiccant to keep water out of their filaments are fools, too.

    What it won’t do is magically erase any gunk or minerals that were in the water that can short out traces on unprotected PCBs and chips even with the water gone.

    So, yes, it is not magic that can fix any phone that saw water. Though it absolutely helps to get the water out of the phone. … I mean, unless you live in a desert where the humidity should already be sufficiently low most days.




  • But that completely defeats the point in representing it on an actual globe, though. Things get distorted when they’re not to scale. They should’ve known that, which begs the question as to why they did it.

    By your logic, they’re making the entire thing far less useful and basically inaccurate so they can … show more detail?

    I call BS. It’s far more likely, IMO, that they’d only go through the effort of producing something so intricate to attempt to either show how neat their current understanding was, or to explore that understanding. Neither requires them to lie to themselves.



  • So… the sign of Jonah is … using big words?

    If someone thinks that’s a sign of evil, they’re only showing that they WANT to be ignorant fuckwits.

    On the other hand, as Einstein said, “If you cannot explain it simply, you do not understand it well enough”.

    IMO, the riduclous old-timey and mistranslated verbiage of that style of verses are exactly the “fancy words for words sake” that only contributes to people failing to understand things. Religious texts are largely just a failure at attempting to mix history, ethics, and baby’s first philosophy. Anyone who clings to such misguided, poorly worded, and often straight up outdated ways of thinking is only harming themselves, just as those poorly worded verses warn against.

    While House was a bit of an ass, such behavior I’m sure comes up more often than doctors would like. Sure, people that self-select by going in to the hospital are far more likely to accept treatment than the nuttos that think essential oils can cure Measles, but people resist good advice for all sorts of stupid reasons. Also some good ones, like, “I literally cannot afford it”.
