Not really yo, people peddling pseudo science never say what she is saying.


Lol, yes they do. That's the only response they have when confronted with science showing what they're talking about is made up. Or the closely related "Tell that to all the people this worked for".

Don't get me wrong, I already stated I don't think she's very smart or anything like that, but people are ready to hate on her simply because of who her father is,


Is that anything like calling an average looking woman a dime piece because of who her father is?

nicklebro posted...
And you're comparing that to you suggesting people do things that you are admitting you know were poor decisions... I'm failing to see how that is comparable or even makes sense whatsoever.


I think you misunderstood me there. I'm saying that I'm self aware enough to know that I can't point to every decision in my life and say "It worked for me" even if I did those things and my life has worked out. But not everyone is. That's not a claim about them doing anything malicious. The problem is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias. People are inclined to listen to people who succeeded at things, regardless of whether the people who are those success stories are able to reflect on what contributed to their success vs noise.

Idk if she's a moron, but she's not into pseudoscience. She's just telling people what worked for her. Well, that's what I've gotten so far from her interview.


I mean, tbf "I don't know science, but it worked for me" is a very common refrain among people trying to peddle pseudoscience.

There's also a bit of survivor bias going on. It's somewhat useful to hear "I tried to do ____ and it didn't work for me", but a lot less going the other direction. I've made lots of poor decisions in my life health/nutritionwise, but am perfectly healthy (and for most of my life have been underweight). It would be awful if I were to suggest to people that they do those same things because they ended up not totally destroying me.

People Trump endorses tend to lose their elections

Or at the very least a Trump endorsement tends to tank Republican turnout in a race

So he really should avoid campaigning for anyone


The first part certainly isn't true, but that isn't to say he's actually had success either.

It was mostly the special elections where he was taking L's every week.

The murder rate would go down because there would be less murder. If legal people kill 99 murders a day and illegal immigrants commit 1 murder a day, the murder rate is 100 a day, if there are no illegal immigrants the murder rate is 99 murders a day. 99<100


Murder rate isn't measured in murders per day...

It's not really a matter of "This shouldn't be a political issue". It's that the killer being an illegal immigrant should have little to no impact on our immigration policy, because if we removed all illegal immigrants from our country our murder rate would go up, not down.

The fact that the left likes McCain so much now proves that their antiwar position during the Bush years was pure partisan bulls***.


The majority of Americans supported the Iraq War in 2003. The push against Bush on war came as the war in Afghanistan and war in Iraq persisted despite victory being declared.

I think an occasional problem with people on the far left is that they pretend like people's justifications for their beliefs are independent of the beliefs they state.

Like saying "I agree with Trump that the media is garbage" is completely disingenuous if you are rejecting his justification of "...because they say bad things about me". You're not really agreeing at all. You're just coming to a similar conclusion to a binary question.

Trump doesn't have any meaningful criticisms of McCain. He dislikes McCain for some of the only good things that McCain has done.

I think McCain was overrated for plenty of things (his status of being a "Maverick" was completely overblown), but "voting against my healthcare repeal", "saying my comments were inappropriate", and "Losing an election to Obama" aren't among them.

I think the problem is idiots think that "alt-right" means extreme right, so they conclude that of course there has to be an "alt-left".

Alt-right (besides being a self-coined term) largely refers to conservatism motivated by nationalism rather than by Christianity. Alt-right people aren't accurately described by "far right", because there are plenty of conservative ideals that they are indifferent towards.

Why? Legit asking.


Because it allows you to provide more strategic knobs for the player because you can offer wider varying power level of weapons. It's a strategy game and it's not an unreasonable resource to manage (since it drives the management of basically all the real resources in Fire Emblem).

The basic items have plenty of durability and it's a slow paced game, so it's not an overbearing amount of managing.
