  • Bingo. They know everything they stand for is unpopular. They have to rely on the electorate being stupid to win. And through long hard fought efforts to cripple the Missouri education system as much as possible, it's a pretty reliable bet.

  • I'll never (with exceptions, but this isn't one) root for someones death. But I'm sure as fuck not going to shed a tear over him. The kid on the other hand? That's just awful.

  • Like how you could choose to go buy distilled water or other fluoride free water if you really cared enough? So we agree it's not actually a problem? Cool.

  • Don't worry, it's on the ballot. I'm hopeful, Missouri has a real weird habit of electing the most batshit right wing people but voting for basically every left leaning ballot measure

  • We tried banning booze once. It didn't go over well

  • I read it less as them shitting on them and more them making a joke about how things tend to immediately go wrong the second you say anything positive about it.

  • As if removing it wouldn't be an improvement. MBFC themselves admit it's nothing more than pseudoscience. The fact anyone actually takes it seriously is laughable, especially considering some of the sources they consider "highly factual"

  • Probably something that still depends on the person. If your problem is irritation, probably not if it's not a moisturizing soap. If you have issues with it immediately turning into pimples and such, I'm sure cleaning it will greatly help with preventing that.

  • The need for it varies greatly from person to person. I personally don't use anything and have never felt a need for it, but I have friends for whom aftershave products (I couldn't tell you if they're alcohol based or not) do reduce razor burn and the like.

  • Cryptobros are mad people have realized they're full of shit

  • Congrats you've fallen for oil company FUD from the 70s.

    In what world is nuclear + renewables not a possibility. Nobody here is wanting nuclear + coal. You sit here and bitch and whine about fallacies while your entire argument relies entirely on a strawman.

  • People still buying into oil company FUD from the 70s

  • Not to mention there's got to be at least a handful of the people on pacific islands we screwed over with tests such as Castle Bravo left.

  • I mean, click a couple links and it's right there

    MI: 619 PA: 693 WI: 661 All of registered voters

    Using the amount of total registered voters in each respective state and a 95% CI, we get the following margins of error MI: ±3.939% PA: ±3.723% WI: ±3.811%

    Depending on the exact lead (NYT only shows round percents, not specific numbers for each response), all of those are potentially within the top end of that margin of error.

    Am I trying to claim that a swing from being down by ~4% to being up by ~4% means nothing and is indicative of nothing? Of course not. But man, most people really do not at all understand how statistics work, and I really wish people would stop talking out of their ass about it.

  • Most people have a really, really awful understanding of how statistics work.

  • Of course, which is why I said within reason. As long as you're making an effort to make your diet varied, I find trying to religiously track macros tends to be fairly counterproductive for most people, as it makes the whole process far more of a pain in the ass.

  • shrimp and tilapia are fairly cheap

    This varies hugely based on location, primarily distance from the ocean. Pound for pound, beef and pork are far cheaper than basically any seafood in my region.
