I once once used the word "uvula" and was ridiculed by a male friend for using one of those "female anatomy" words. He was gay, so my first inclination was to blame his confusion on that. But then, no, you have one, dumbass. Open your mouth and look in the mirror.

When I caught COVID the only symptoms I had were a sore throat and tiredness. If I hadn't taken a test I would have had NO idea. And because I was fully vaccinated, I had such a mild case I was feeling completely fine in two days. After which, had I not known I had COVID, I would have gone right back to my usual routine and exposed hundreds of people who might not have been so lucky.

We all like to believe that we are logical and rational creatures. However, in reality, humans are subject to preconceived judgments that unconsciously influence our decisions.

(Sigh) The BIBLE is a political anthology intended to keep "Kings" in power by showing that God is the "Kingiest King of all Kings." It has some history, preserved as stories (that may or may not be accurate) and has some ideas that still haven't been acted on. If you're so focused on the Bible... Where's your paddle? (Go look it up, Old Testament)
As trusted online mental health resource Verywell Mind explained, “Confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias that favors information that confirms your previously existing beliefs or biases.”
A cognitive bias is a systematic thinking error that occurs in our minds when our brain attempts to simplify information about our surroundings. Processing all the data available to us takes a lot of time and energy, so our brains pick the details that agree with our pre-existing opinions and knowledge. They act as general rules that help us make sense of the world and reach decisions quicker.

It is reasonable to think that sunscreen can impair Vitamin D production. One of the final steps in Vitamin D production in humans is the conversion of 7-DHC to previtamin-D3 in the skin via UVB radiation. Sunscreen is intended to block UV radiation to prevent it interacting with your skin. It's possible to have sunscreen that blocks the specific wavelengths involved in Vitamin D production. It's also possible to have sunscreen that doesn't. Current published studies seem to contradict each other as to what effect sunscreen has on Vitamin D production.

Once you're confronted with new information about Harris that confirms what you already believe, you’ll be more likely to accept it as true, overlook any flaws in it, incorporate it into your belief system, and remember it later to support your opinion during a discussion. On the other hand, if the new facts contradict your view of the candidate, you’ll be more likely to get defensive about it, criticise it and forget it later on.

The comment 'because they irresponsibly chose to have unprotected sex with some rando' indicates that the writer believes that a woman is responsible for getting pregnant. It is true, only women can become pregnant (if you have the bits to get pregnant and gestate a child, you are a woman no matter what you want to be). However, as a child cannot be created without a man, that man must bear at least half the responsibility. The way that was written in a manner misogynistic in the extreme, probably by an incel. And birth control can, and does, fail. Therefore this indicates the writer believes individuals have no right to have sex before marriage.

This feels like someone applying their fringe religious "knowledge" to science, much like the rib thing above. Some people interpret Genesis to say that death did not exist before Adam ate the apple.

If the sound would travel through space, it would reach the Earth in about 19 years, so that doesn't line up either. Most likely confusing the sunspot cycle with how long it would take light or even the actual blast forces to get to the Earth.

Then, when looking for information, thoroughly consider all the evidence available rather than just seeing data that confirms your opinion. Use credible sources and read them entirely before drawing any conclusions. Pointing out biases in others (respectfully, of course!) can additionally help an individual think more critically.

A Silly Person Not Understanding Physics
BK BigFish 1 year ago
I understand the confusion, and I think education is important. Most of the world's ice is locked up in Antarctica. If you watch videos, you'll see that it's piled up, forming cliffs. In fact, it's the tallest continent, averaging 8,200 feet high on average. If that melts, yes, water levels will rise hundreds of feet. And yes, it's freezing cold (haha), BUT it's surrounded by ocean, which is by definition above freezing. That ocean also flows underneath Antarctica; heated just a few degrees, it can, and is, melting enough to break off huge chunks of Antarctica, which can then float north to much warmer temperatures, and melt entirely. Tell people to Google "Doomsday Glacier."
censorshipsucks 1 year ago
ice is less dense than water, hence it floats. The molecular bonds spread the molecules out more = less dense. This is why when you put a jar of water in the freezer, it bursts open and shatters. Hence, as it melts, the greater volume in image 1 is reduced in volume in image 2, because the greater space used by the ice is now lesser. Simple.

Also (although it is a minor factor) a floating object displaces its own weight in water. Ice cubes are freshwater ice floating in fresh water, so displace the exact amount of water that is in the ice cube. Icebergs are fresh water ice floating in sea water. Fresh water is less dense than salt water so if an iceberg melts the volume of the sea does increase very slightly (and the ocean is very marginally less salty). (A further big factor is that as water gets warmer it expands.)
"Even if we can't change others' biases, remember they may be at play when we find ourselves in a disagreement with someone who seems very entrenched in their own viewpoint," licensed psychologist David Susman, PhD, explains. "Rather than confronting them directly about how inaccurate or irrational we think they are, it's often more productive to present facts and information in a nondirective way and ask them to consider an alternative point of view or some point of compromise."

The Democratic and Republican Parties have not always had the same ideals that they have today. In fact, America's two dominant political parties have essentially flipped ideologies in the time since they were founded. The Democratic Party was founded in 1828 while the Republican Party dates back to 1854. In its early years, the Republican Party was considered quite liberal, while the Democrats were known for staunch conservatism. This is the exact opposite of how each party would be described today. This change did not happen overnight, however. Instead, it was a slow set of changes and policies that caused the great switch.
Leesa DeAndrea 1 year ago
The switch is when the Republican Party came up with the Southern Strategy which was, according to Wikipedia & other reliable online sources, the "Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans." It worked too, as many formerly democratic party voters and politicians switched sides to the Republican Party.

There are 2 conflicting creation stories. Neither are meant to be scientific.

That's why the details on the order of created items don't stack up to science---it's a poem. I'm Christian (go ahead and attack) and I believe neither as historical or scientific truth. I recognize them as ancient Israel's attempts to understand the world around them and God. They are fictional and a helpful key to understanding what and why ancient Israel and early Christianity wrote that became Scripture. Btw the whole Bible wasn't written at one time (over a 2500 yr time span) and has differing viewpoints. And that creation story is also Jewish. But I don't hear anyone trashing Jews for believing it.

The main issue here is that there's no single definition of a country. The principal thing which makes a country a country is recognition. Some places meet the UN definition of country but don't have enough recognition to become one. So the next part is that recognition depends who you ask. If you ask the UN then the UK is recognised as being one country. Ask FIFA who they recognise and they spilt the UK nations. Ask the IOC and they recognise the team as GB. Isle of Man is part of neither GB nor UK but Manx athletes can represent GB. Commonwealth Games separates out all the channel Islands and everything. It's all about who you ask as to what is a country. The official definition is whatever someone official says it is in the context in which they specialise

It is a phrase, not a sentence. (No verb stated or implied.) So there are no nominative or objective case contexts, and either is correct.

No, take out "and my twin." Would you say "me in the 80's" or "I in the 80's?" It isn't a full sentence.

Me is used for an object "the store is going to me."

Me and my twin is correct. Drop off my twin, and you would not say "my in the 80s", you would say "me, in the 80s". Easiest way to correctly use I/me/her/him etc. I cringe when I hear people say "me and her went...." its "she and I went". It's she went, I went.

I still use the rhyme I learned when I was about 5. "Thirty days have September, April, June and November, all the rest have thirty-one, excepting February alone, which has twenty-eight days clear, and twenty-nine in each leap year." Is this used in all English-speaking countries?

Many people do not realise that the 'cases', in this case Nominative and Accusative, which are much used in many other languages, also exist in English. Personal pronouns are one of the few examples of where they actually make a difference. In the above example the easiest way to get it right is just to imagine one person instead of two - "...made a difference to I" is obviously wrong, so you just use 'me' whether alone or as a pair like this.

For those who do not understand the order of operations, regardless of how it's *written*, it is calculated in the following order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. Q.E.D., if the problem were written out in the order that it MUST be processed, it would look like "2*0+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=?" You can write it out however you like, but for the sake of consistency, PEMDAS rules processing.

This is also (perhaps deliberately) misunderstanding how slave ownership worked: like other property in the US south, the owner was the senior adult male in the household. So Robert E. Lee never owned a slave: he (like his adult sons who also fought for the Confederacy) just lived in a household where his father-in-law owned roughly 200 of them. And while there were multiple motivations for individual Confederate soldiers, the reason those states separated (per their published statements) was for slavery.

You can always spot a “lost cause” warrior, because they pretend (or were never told) that the declarations of secession were not -very- explicit about the reason they wanted to separate. The only “states rights” issue at hand was the free states’ right to not arrest and return escaped slaves.
