We need to replace "demonetize" with "remonetize". When companies say they "demonetize", they aren't actually not monetizing it--they're just keeping the money for themselves.

The doublespeak is real.

Then maybe we should stop supplying arms to the conflict.

Two comments:

1) Your preferred candidate model is at odds with the _data_. Observational data is what you have to test a model against, and your preferred model fails spectacularly: it can't explain the baryon acoustic oscillation spectrum, or the large scale intergalactic structure, or the polarization spectrum of the microwave background, or the accelerating cosmic expansion rate. That's _why_ the current concordance model became accepted as most probable: it explains the data ... even data that were not collected at the time it was proposed! You might try reading about the successes and challenges of the Lambda-CDM: model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Whether the dark matter and energy eventually have a particle solution or not - and this hasn't been "proclaimed" by anyone, there are many competing hypotheses - the data very strongly require more types of physics than are currently described by the Standard Model of particle physics.

2) People like to rag on the aether model, and it's true that we no longer believe there is an aether, but that's because the _data_ don't require it. However, it was _not_ a crazy expectation. All wave phenomena known to the time required a physical medium to propagate in; light was a wave; ergo, the hypothesis of the aether as the medium to support light propagation. The aether fell out of favor because every attempt to measure its properties failed, and physics eventually relegated it to an interesting historical footnote.

How does that relate to the metric shit ton?

There are so many logical fallacies here, I don't even want to start.

What if only the Chinese and Japanese were involved? Why does that make Pimpy antisemitic?

English, you should try it sometime. That whole thing is a dog's breakfast of incoherent raving that makes no logical sense as soon as you try to parse it.

"Hamas retaliates after Israel attack destroys Gaza residential tower"

I think that's not the position you were trying to support. Didn't you mean to find some propaganda that showed how Hamas struck first?

From TFS:

Your comment was disingenuous, because the story is about Israel officially misrepresenting the source of a video, and even the identities and nationalities of the persons in the video.

Yes, Hamas has launched rockets at Israeli civilian areas. That's not what the story is about. You're offtopic. The story is about a fabricated news story based around taking a video from an entirely other country and claiming that it's some people locally who they'd like to bulldoze and murder.

5590 Palestinian deaths.
251 Israeli deaths.

Who's the real aggressor here?

As others have mentioned, muon tomography can be used to study geological structure and do non-desrructive searches of shipping containers, for dxample, for fissile materials. Muon spin resonance can be used to study the magnetic structure if materials. They also do chemistry, so they can be used to understand properties of chemical compounds.

Yes. Mass surveillance databases; the possession, creation, sale, or distribution of; should be illegal.

We've apparently met different idiots in life. Common in my experience. (People who put incriminating shit in writing.)

It's generally hard, but a lot of people are stupid enough to put it in writing.

Everyone needs hobbies.

That's wonderful, except if you need that captcha to avoid consuming programmatic resources...

If you give it to them anyway (but HAH! you know they're not legit!)... you still gave them the resources.
