Yes, but it's still wrong. In typical CT fashion, they go from a preconceived notion of distrust and then cherry-pick their snippets, instead of understanding the situation as a whole. When you examine this in context, it's clear that the democrats fear that a vaccine which has been rushed (for...

Is there even a "problem" with overpopulation in the US? Would "barring access to abortions contributes to the problem of overpopulation" be a true starement? Would it reflect the actual main causes of overpopulation, i.e. a high birth rate and legal immigration, presumably? For your...

that claim is kinda hard to support, but they showed a lot of democrats basically said, "don't trust the CDC/FDA, don't trust a rushed vaccine", with not much support for that. It feels at least reasonable to claim that, with the then context of the vaccine (and the trial data) not yet...

I've amended my post. Basically, the Dem talking point is to not trust the Trump administration in this because they might put propaganda above science. It's really more fitting for the "that's what they want you think" thread, because it's ultimately about establishing whom to trust.

Their advice was to look at the science. Now that the vaccine is out and in broad use, what does the science say?

Because it doesn't tell me anything about what's on the video. The description could be referring to any of these, or another one altogether.

Have you ever considered that you might be bad at that?

You're focused on opinions, focus on facts instead. You can prove this by showing maps of ISIS territory at the start and at the end of 2017. It's a fact. There is no way to prove this statement because "the economy" is a large complex system that defies analysis. If you look at government...

Does https://xenforo.com/community/ work for you? It runs the same forum software (in fact, it's the developers' site).

I suggest having a Q&A megathread in each (sub)forum where it seems appropriate (e.g. Flat Earth, 9/11, Covid). Members would be able to post topical, factual questions there, to be answered directly or with links to existing posts/threads. Opinion questions or "why has nobody done X" type...

I love this experiment precisely because it doesn't need "better equipment" or quality documentation: all it requires is a gnomon, a flat surface, a way to mark it, and the time to check it a few times during the day—and some sun. Everyone can find their own way of setting it up with what they...

The winter Covid wave is getting an early start in Germany and France, what with the wet weather we're having:

It seems you are asking for accurate data from low-res, noisy, analog footage. Where is the accuracy supposed to come from? Computer software operates by the GIGO principle: garbage in, garbage out.

you forgot what lockdowns and work-from-home did to traffic? it's not Litman's data that is "iffy"

My favorite low-tech globe proof is tracking the tip of the shadow a sundial on (or near) equinox and see it teack a straight line—impossible if the sun moves in a circle above flat Earth. See...

The rule says "focused description", I've been explaining when that works and when it doesn't; excerpt quotes are safe and always work.
