    Of course they exist at the same time. Different people are at different steps in their denial.

    Great idea. You know that rockets are launched towards the east, right?

    Let's imagine for a moment that it fails and comes down prematurely. Now take a globe and find out what countries would be the most likely recipients of this guaranteed to explode rocket launched from Israel.

    Yeah. That would end well.

    They're just consistent. The four steps of denial are:

    1. There is no global warming, you're faking it.
    2. OK, there is some indication that the earth is getting warmer, but it's not man made.
    3. Ok, so it is man made, but it's far from serious.
    4. Ok, it's serious and we're fucked, but it's too late now.

    The great thing about all four of them is that you don't have to do anything.

    Yes, I can. At the very least I can after a few months of usage. Cheap mice quickly lose accuracy or start to jitter, or even jump around. This is annoying when trying to click at something reliably, not to mention that the damn cursor keeps wiggling about when you're typing because the mouse freaks out despite there being no input.

    What it means to gamers that require pixel-perfect precision to aim their shots and whatnot, I guess I needn't say.

    Is it worth it? I dunno, is it to you? Obviously to some people it is.

    There are certain things you simply cannot improve.

    The fun bit is where they reject science because it supposedly tries to force them how and what to think instead of allowing freedom to think for themselves, then they turn around and parrot the same bullshit (usually even verbatim) they hear somewhere else.

    I'm dead serious, if I had a buck for every flattard talking about how "water always finds its level", usually EXACTLY with these words, I could buy Apple.
