Good looking people will attract women. They clearly didn't think he was serious.

First of all, you'll be able to get their vibe from a political conversation unless they're very well informed and very intelligent, which conservatives generally are not.

Second, if you're forcing them to lie then it creates cognitive dissonance in their brain. So at the very least that can create genuine progress, as problematic as that may be.

Just don't date conservative men. First date, ask them their politics. It's literally that simple.

You should really have a suite of questions to weed out partners you don't want. This is what the first few dates are really for. Ask them their politics, if they voted, and who they voted for, their stance on abortion etc.

All you're going to get with this is friendly fire. Conservatives generally do not prefer leftist women.

The words country and nation are absolutely not interchangeable, no matter how lay people use the terms.

But you see that would be an intelligent argument.

That's not the kind of argument these people make.

They would say it's because police are getting better at their jobs or something

Kurdistan doesn't really have a central government like that, nor fixed or well defined borders. Keep in mind that the concept of a "Nation State" is really only a couple hundred years old.

If that counterexample doesn't satisfy you, then Somalia should. It is a country without a functioning government, which has two nations inside of them of the northern and southern Somalians which are completely different, and neither of which have any sort of unifying government.

This definition is not fully correct. A nation does not need to have a government. For example the Kurds

It's less of a legal distinction and more of a definition thing. He is objectively using the wrong word.

It would not be incorrect to refer to the people of Puerto Ricans as a nation by the definition of the word. The word nation does not refer to a place but a group of people.

Don't you understand? 20% tarrifs is actually good for the economy because prices will go down when China has to pay Americans 20%! Take that communists! And unregulated capitalism is the only way to avoid inefficiencies and economic dead ends, thanks to the protective power of monopolies.

The country of ... Puerto Rico??

A nation perhaps but why TF is he calling it a country

Literally just read the article. Lmao

Ok, I vote in every single election, including every primary. I drive seldom, use public transportation often, eat meat only twice a week, and encourage other people to adopt socially and environmentally forward beliefs.

Do you really think this is enough? I don't, but there is only so much one person can do.

Saying that last bit about time is not particularly meaningful for two reasons.

First of all, we do not especially know the end state of the universe. It may not be true that all matter decays, and protons may be stable. We may be in a false vacuum which will spontaneously collapse in large timespans.

Second of all, the hypothetical is a thought experiment. The monkeys are a placeholder for any random generation of characters. The thought experiment also does not take into consideration the food required to feed monkeys for infinite time, nor their aging, mutation over generations, and waste logistics. It's not meaningful then to suddenly decide to apply the laws of physics to them. The only laws applicable in this scenario are logic and mathematics.

I generally agree with the rest of your take, although I disagree where you say the thought experiment is dumb. I only have an issue with that last point lol. Cheers.

He wasn't up Trump's ass like a month ago. That's a fairly recent development.

What exactly are you going to do about it? Seriously list out the specific measures you're taking.

Wow. What a visionary 🙄

If he said the same about men, would you still have a similar outrage? Genuine question, I'm not trying to put you down.

Yep Elon famously invented the first electric car and the first reusable spacecraft. He did it in his garage with his own two hands!
