    And don't forget that today's various deplorables may define "unhealthy" as "This company is taking claims of sexual harassment seriously, promoting women, Jews, and brown people, is allowing itself to be infested with 'SJWs' while doing nothing to promote 'diversity of thought,' is supporting a culture which makes me feel uneasy about releasing the numerous and lengthy 'scientific' screeds I have prepared which address these issues, and is otherwise making its workplace hostile to toxic shitgoblins like myself. 1 star, gas the lot of them."

    Oh I can argue the facts. You can't, which is why instead you parrot bullshit from denialist blogs. I have addressed the latest deniosphere talking points already. Hurricane frequency, intensity, and power dissipation are up, overall tornado count is up, and storm & flood damage costs are up:

    Three conservative rags and a conservative think-tank flying in the face of science with cherry-picking and strawmen, I think that says it all.

    Denialists would often ask, "what if these imperfect estimates are too high?" and scientifically-minded people would counter with "what if these imperfect estimates are too low?" In the last few years it's been obvious that they were mostly too low (as in conservative) across the board. Oddly enough the constant unfounded accusations of bias toward climate science has created a real bias toward conservative estimates, as scientists all fear overestimating and becoming the deniosphere's celebrated Chicken Little.

  7. Re: It's the dose that makes the poison on Dark Web Dealers Voluntarily Ban Deadly Fentanyl (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sometimes they do want to kill a customer, as an advertising tactic. They intentionally slip a fatal dose of fentanyl into some heroin for example, and sell it to a customer they can afford to lose. This death sends up a beacon, making other junkies think that this dealer has "the good stuff" on the assumption that it was purity/potency that caused the overdose and not intentional contamination.

    Indeed, it's pretty simple. It's just too bad that we'll have to keep trying supply-side economics until it either shows some signs of working for the first time ever, or the economy sucks itself in like the house at the end of Poltergeist.

    Give it time, Trump still hasn't built his useless monument to xenophobia in the middle of the desert, the effects of his massive wealth transfer to the 1% haven't yet been felt, and he's still working on those easy-to-win trade wars.

    It's true that some previous presidents have implemented massive transfers of wealth to the 1% and/or run up the national debt for stupid reasons, but that shouldn't make it acceptable to do it again.

    It's a message created by white nationalists that serves no real purpose other than to remind people that white nationalists are watching for negative reactions. And you post it and defend it.

    These aren't matters of opinion, these are facts. It doesn't matter who wrote it if the facts are correct. Trump has requested a military transgender ban, elected an anti-gay-marriage judge to the supreme court and many more to federal courts, has taken many opportunities to argue for "Jim Queer" laws, failed to recognize pride month, and disbanded the HIV/AIDS presidential advisory council. All facts, and just a subset of those in the article. And here's an opinon, those last two look like notable gratuitous F-yous to the LGBT community.

    If Obama were a liberal maybe I could buy that, but he was barely left of center.

    Trump's skin color might not've made a difference if he were still running on a dog-whistled white nationalist platform, theoretically. But without that he wouldn't have won.

    2) Hate Trump as much as you want, but the Slashdot/AP a headline misrepresents what Trump. said. The Slashdot headline: "Trump Says He Doesn't Believe Government Climate Report Finding in a New Low". AP headline: "Trump: ‘I don’t believe’ government climate report finding. Notice where the quotation marks are. "I don't believe" are in quotes but the rest of the headline isn't. I doubt this bit of misleading headline was an accident by the very smart, competent AP editors. And according to the AP article what did Trump actually say? At https://apnews.com/c1dfca3088b... after SIX paragraphs of editorializing we find what he actually said: "The president said he read some of the report “and it’s fine” but not the part about the devastating economic impact. “I don’t believe it,” Trump said, adding that if “every other place on Earth is dirty, that’s not so good.” So Trump AGREES WITH THE REPORT but questions the conclusion about the impact.

    That's a lot of words to try and make it sound like the guy who said he didn't believe the report's conclusions (the important part), chose to release the report at an ideal time for minimizing the attention it might get, and has a long history of calling climate change a hoax, believed the report in some way.
