When in reality the sea levels will rise because warm water expands.
Just FYI, sea levels are going to rise primarily because much of the melting ice is not floating in the water, but land based. Thermal expansion is definitely part of it, but secondary.
I’m sure there have been plenty of times you have comfortably trusted a religious person with responsibility because most people are religious.
I was an engineer is school. I’ve always been good at fluffing up my writing, but it always annoyed me that I had to make things longer when I felt like I was already done.
When one of my first engineering reports said “this has to be no more than 2 pages long” as opposed to “at least” I knew I had chosen the right school. Lol
The media talked about it plenty. This story is 4 years old. How often do the expect the media to report on unfounded allegations by someone who dropped the case?
Not sure where I picked it up.
I’m not saying they aren’t better, what I’m saying is they aren’t flushable. If they don’t clog up your system, they fuck up your septic tank, or the city system.
If you have legitimate medical reason to use them, knock yourself out, but otherwise they should be avoided. And stop calling them flushable because they aren’t. They’re just wipes.
No such thing as a flushable wipes. It’s just defective marketing. Plus there is no need to use one after the bidet. Toilet paper is perfectly fine to dry.
My response is always “if you get shit on your hand, do you just rub it with some paper and call it a day?” Usually people get it at that point.
So I go back to my question…does a convicted child molester finish their jail sentence and the can go and work around children? Or do we also accept that maybe, even after the person has finished their sentence, that the “punishment” continues to protect society?
If the latter, then the question becomes when this is appropriate, and not if it is ever appropriate.
I find your distinction to be arbitrary. You could argue that punishment for child sex abuse should have a beginning and an end, or you can argue that the punishment for a felony conviction does not end when you get out of prison.
I work in finance, and I certainly would not want to bring on someone who was convicted of felony security fraud working for the firm, because it ours everything in jeopardy.
Reductio ad absurdum: Felony conviction for child molestation. Removed from record. Should they have free reign to be able to apply for any job, even if it might involve children?
I’m not even sure what you’re arguing anymore.
Are you actually trying to say you did not say “They didn’t decide”? Because it’s right there, just a few posts up. Literally word for word.
Are you really not smart enough to just go look back after I told you you said it? Or are you just grossly dishonest? Who are you lying for here? You can’t honestly believe you can gaslight, because it’s still right there for me to look at.
I love how you won’t even admit that you weren’t quoting me, and that you were clearly indicating that they had rigged the other election, but then have the nerve to say I’m being academically dishonest. Lol classic projection.
Apology accepted. I also apologize for snarking back. Lol
Sorry, you’ve proven otherwise.
If you feel that way, then I’m sorry for giving the wrong impression. But I assure you it’s not the case.
Otherwise, my reaction from now on will just be to repeatedly tell you to go away and stop harassing me.
The better way to get me to stop responding to you is to simply not respond to me; I’m not going to respond to the same post over and over again until you respond. If we are having a back-and-forth, I would hardly call that “harassment.”
Lol, the reason it’s in quotes is because it’s quoting you.
It’s in quotes because I was quoting you. If it had been in quotes when I quoted it from you, I would have done something like “‘They didn’t decide.’” Although I wouldn’t have even done that, because I’m honest and not trying to be right. I would have wondered why I misinterpreted it. You don’t strike me as all that dumb, but to not even go and look three posts up to see if you had quoted it seems incredibly dumb, especially if you are basing your whole argument on it.
I have lots of reasons that I am critical about how you use your intelligence, but I assure you I hold no ill will towards you.
Where did you get your psychology degree from?
Nowhere, which is why I linked to a Harvard website.
I’m not attacking you, I’m offering you up a respite for your mental health. We all need it sometimes.
If you are constantly pessimistic, spending so much time on places like Lemmy is probably at least part of the problem.
You’re going to nit pick spiritual vs religious? If we’re being pedantic, you’re citing us population, the world is much different. Also even if we accept it’s only about half, my point still stands.
