I agree it can be used fallaciously, often found in the business world. My point was to include both good and bad honestly and not hide it, and people won't shut down if they get the good first. It also depends on the subject - if they're on the right track and your suggestion leads to better results, that's not as negative as telling someone they're doing something incorrectly and offering a different way.
In the end, how you say things is just as important as what is said.
On constructive criticism - definitely rule one is make sure that it's invited first, but second, the best way to "sweeten" a critique and make it more appealing is to put it between compliments. Don't have a bare remark about the problems or suggestions, tell them what you like first, then how they might change things, and then close with something else positive or simply thanking them for sharing it. Even if someone says they want to hear what people think, it's normal to be defensive, so help lower that reaction first, and then leave them feeling appreciated even though you pointed out issues you saw.
NASA wanted to do a lot more after Apollo but was told absolutely no way by Congress. The shuttles we got were a leftover fragment of the grand plan that would definitely have gotten us into the category of a spacefaring civilization. Assuming all went well, of course. It's possible we would have had Challenger/Columbia level disasters even if the money was there. Ad astra per aspera.
My system isn't even that old (maybe 4 years) and the first few times I got that very annoying popup that I should try to upgrade it told me in vague terms that I couldn't. So be it, everything runs fine now. I have backups of everything, so if WIn10 doesn't continue to work as simply unsupported one day I'll look for ways to "fix" it like someone mentioned with a 3rd party, or go to Linux and adapt to it. Anyone who has ever had a drive failure knows that the solution is to use a recovery USB which will be a portable Linux, so it will be just another version of that.
Ignorance is part of it, but the real problem is that he doesn't allow anyone to advise him, and surrounds himself with people who are all about agreeing with him to benefit themselves. I have no doubt that someone in the circle at some point mentioned tariffs, and he took off with his idea of what that was without anyone correcting him.
No bad weather either! This whole farce of having FEMA help people after the fact was some liberal hoax. Just prevent the weather and problem solved. You're welcome!
Correct. You'd also get just a point or two lost because of it. If your place failed, it wasn't just because of this peach. This was probably the least of the problems they found.
Every individual is different than their parents. We don't see large scale changes from one species to another from a single generation, but from population changes over huge amounts of time.
Sometimes there's a mutation that allows previous features to come back in an individual showing the history. Look up images of chickens with teeth.
Chickens as we know them now in a farm didn't exist until we did our own evolutionary selection to change them to something that would have more meat on them by picking the preferred ones. Dogs are another very obvious demonstration of that. Dogs came from a now extinct ancestor of wolves, so you can carry the same fallacy, when did the wolf become a dog? It wasn't the first ones that were lured in by a warm place and food, was it the second generation?
Evolution doesn't have clear lines, humans just like to classify things. It's a lot easier to do that with species separated by millions of years because the details have changed enough.
It shouldn't be surprising after what he did. Run a poll for two representatives in a state, one who is doing something and one that backstabbed efforts to help the public, I would hope the first is favored.
