You give them too much credit. The other 20% are probably too stupid to realize they made a mistake.

And when the body goes into ketosis, it breaks down fat into ketone bodies to use for energy. What cannot be used is excreted in the urine. It cannot save the excess as fat.
This is why Atkins and Keto show results.

Not really. For a long time, nutcases have taken guns and shot innocent people with them. Media coverage has certainly changed in recent years but I'm not convinced that the incidents have increased.

Amazing, the right-wing that always cherry-picks incidents and data to "prove" their point can't handle it when they perceive others doing the same?
You're correct but the left-wing does it as well.
Ask one if men can get pregnant and listen to what they say, especially if there's a camera around.

Tritium is a hydrogen isotope. Boiling to distill it would result in radioactive steam.

And Hitler loved to paint; therefore, painting is bad, right? That's your argument.
If EVERY tyrant loved to paint, it would be worth asking why.
Hitler being a failed painter is a one off. Hitler was also a vegetarian. Their evangelists may well be annoying but they're otherwise harmless.

I had forgotten all about that font.
It's funny on a couple of levels.

Mack Beggs should have been banned from wrestling for steroids.
I went to a public school. When I was there, a student was gang raped by other students and a high school girl was seduced by an adult bus driver.
After I graduated, an assistant coach was caught in possession of child porn and several years later, the band director was caught having a sexual relationship with a student.
I'm not absolving religious institutions at all but the problem is that society is filled with perverts, not just churches.

They already have plans to circumvent that with retroactive birth certificate changes.

What it really illustrates though is that the system of gender-differentiated sports is broken in the first place.
No. It's not. A competition between two 150 pound women is about as fair as one can get. A competition between a 150 pound woman and a 150 pound man is going to heavily favor the man.
Maybe the best solution would be a system that better matches fighters based on classes that make more sense, and drop the sex-based classes altogether.
Biological sex and weight differentiation make perfect sense, until we're all forced (under the threat of un-personing) to pretend that there are no differences between men and women.

They don't want predatory capitalists taking a cut, and figure, correctly, that government is more trustworthy than a man with a profit motive and no morals.
The people who figure that way are absolutely wrong.
The capitalist has transparent motives. The capitalist seeks profit. The government seeks power. The government will enslave you to maintain it.
Health insurance amounts to a system of taxation that forces the healthy to pay for the sick, and lets a third party take a huge cut. Replace health insurance with actual government taxation and what have you lost, except for the greedy bastard trying to mark up your heart medications? Nothing.
One thing is lost and it's something important.
Choice. The ability to find a new insurer if you do not like the policies that are force upon you. That was a huge sticking point against the healthcare overhaul that Hillary Clinton spearheaded back in the 1990s. It would have criminalized going outside of the system.
For many of us who opposed universal government healthcare, we have the nightmare scenario of Alfie Evans. Though there was likely nothing that could have been done to help him, his parents were denied the ability to even try. He was promised free healthcare in Rome but the court prevented his parents from taking him.
No thank you.

As for left wing narratives, the majority of voters in both parties favor economic policies to the left of what we have now.
When polled, people like free stuff.
There are profound differences of opinion on the role that government is supposed to play in our lives and on the scale of things like medicare, there is no compromise position available. It has to be for everyone in order for it to work.

Today's censorship is not about nazis, it's about driving the Overton window left by excluding normal people who do not believe in gender ideology and left wing narratives.
I'm currently serving a 7 day suspension from Reddit because I expressed the belief that Fallon Fox shouldn't be allowed to fight biological women in sanctioned fights. If it's allowed to continue, someone like Jon Jones should be allowed to self-identify as a woman to fight Fallon Fox.
My comment was removed. When I complained, I was suspended.

Presidential incompetence goes a long way towards convincing me there could be some truth behind all of the "Deep State" conspiracy talk.
Joe Biden is clearly in mental decline. There's no way he was privy to all of the details of Hunter's dealings.
Trump's complete inability to keep his big mouth shut tells me that if the government does know anything at all about UFOs, they didn't tell him a mumbling word.

It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
