  1. Given the original source of "shutup and dribble", it probably had racist intent.
  2. Racism still exists today. People are just a little more subtle about it.
  3. It's bad genes. Stupid runs in the family.
  4. Don't let Trump see this.
  5. I think the anti-vax stuff and all the deliberate misinformaton is stupid, but I am not really behind mandates. Vaccines are safe and they work to an extent, but we are still getting changing reports on how well the vaccines work as the virus evolves. It's hard to force to scared people to do stuff when the information keeps changing.
  6. Neither do politicians.
  7. Sounds like you're the one that's worked up. Candy companies are making business decisions. Capitalism is a good thing.
  8. The bigger question might be why is Putin so concerned about Ukraine? And wht happens after that? Answer those questions and the answer to your question might become clearer.
  9. Trump caves on everything. All that matters is that he presentyys himself as a tough guy who gets things done. It doesn't matter whether it's true. It only matters whether his cult belierves it is true. It's like when he could achieve peace in the middle east and then he worked an arms deal with some obscure middle east countries and called it an historic "peace" agreement.
  10. Does Carlson realize what he looks like complaining about the shoes that M&M characters wear? I never even noticed what kind of shoes they were wearing before. I guess I am just not into women's shoes like Carlson is.
  11. Yes, that is certainly a very important variable.
  12. It's always a big question when we do presentations or publish journal articles as to how many decimal places we should include in the tables. I didn't get the concern about credibility though. It's more a matter of presentation. What is the ideal number of decimal places to include for your audience? If we are presenting to other scientists, it's not a concern as they can round off anyway they please. If we are presenting to a more casual audience, then we usually use fewer decimal places, so they can read it more easily. I never really thought about how too many decimal places would make you less credible.
  13. It's not OK for middle class people to feel concern for others who don't have it as good?
  14. Much of my mother's family refused to go to her wedding because my father was not Catholic. He is Greek Orthodox which is practically the same thing. I think that's why they never pushed religion on me too hard.
  15. That's all over now and the market is crashing! Until panic sets in and they cut the interest again next year.
  16. And they all voted for Biden.
  17. It would be six, but Mize, Manning and Skubal were promoted last year. Baseball America has Greene #4, Torkelson #5, Jobe 79
  18. I think the checks and balances of our constitution saved us in 2020. I am very concerned with how many people seem totally OK with what happened though. Many even think it was a good thing.
  19. I don't have a problem with the United States. I have a problem with greed, selfishness, racism, inequity, lack of empathy, etc I know these things exist everywhere, but that doesn't mean they can't be addressed. Incremental improvements are always possible.
  20. It's not a bad place to live in. We are not exceptional like we pretend to be.
  21. They should still be addressed. Many countries don't have the resources to fix it. We do.
  22. America is a very wealthy country in aggregate. Those who hold the money allow the poor to have just enough, so they won't harm the wealthy. It is very difficult for Blacks to get into the ruling class. The world is a bad place if you are not White. We focus on the United States because that is what we can control. There are big inequities that need to be addressed regardless of whether there are other countries that are worse.
  23. 7 Republicans senators voted to convict him. That is remarkable given the current environment.
  24. Also, he gets to watch his grand children grow up. Two of them have gotten married in the last few years and they were both thrilled that he was around to see it. Too many people see the elderly slow down and think they aren't contributing anything or enjoying life, but they really do. Their lives are as valuable as anyone else.
