It's the replication crisis. The papers aren't being cited because they're not reproducible science. The humanities, especially sociology and women's studies, is full of it.
Good idea, let's brainstorm some ideas about how to make sure people go back home when their visas are up. A visitor visa isn't permission to stay here forever. We can't keep being an attractive nuisance with our lax enforcement. Too many people who are badly needed in their home countries aren't there to contribute.
Who was even talking about Fox News? Where'd that come from? You just invent a strawman so you could knock it down?
You've got to admit, the liberal left are few and far between these days. People like Johnathan Haidt or Jordan Peterson are banished into the dark web. The authoritarian left is ascendant. One need only look at our universities to see what they desire for the rest of society. Dismantling fundamental rights like being informed of the charges against you or the ability to confront your accuser. The right didn't do any of that shit.
By their deeds ye shall know them. it's the so-called "tolerant" leftists that engage in censorship, whether it's overt censorship through the deletion of content and banning of users/customers, or whether it's causing indirect self-censorship through threats of harm to the reputations or bodies of anyone they disagree with.
It isn't right wingers who want to limit what people can express thanks to "political correctness". It isn't right wingers who want to block content they dislike. It isn't right wingers who want to ban users who they disagree with. It's leftists who engage in such behavior.
The political right promotes free and open discussion of all ideas. The political left tries to shut down all expression that doesn't conform to their very narrow world view and narrative.
This is why there is such a push for global governance. The fewer they have to control, the better. The more governments, the more power we the people have.
It's not a penny in the jar. Remember Sanders' free college plan that was widely mocked as unaffordable? A mere $60 billion a year. Trump's wall? $25 billion once.
I actually agree with you on the military part. Close all the bases, and when the world goes to war with itself, fuck'em. We're safe in our home.
Naturally they will never give up this power, having established it. Above all, they wish to control. This control is intoxicating to the kinds of people who are attracted to government service. At last, they will have a clear picture of what we do with our lives, and they can not just influence, but control us. Biometric IDs, we can't walk in public without being identified. Cashless society, we can't pay in cash without being taxed. The level of control made possible by Big Tech is a wonderful discovery to not just the Indian government, but governments worldwide. That whole "for the people" crap is going to be discarded in favor of "we're doing this for your own good and you'll like it", coming soon in the next decade or two at the most.
If only those clubs hadn't discredited themselves by being corrupt and an arm of the Democrats, they might have some clout. But when Democrats passed NAFTA, that was the death knell of the American working class. Who cares, really...fuck the deplorables, remember?
There are whole regions of Africa off limits to human development due to being infested with malaria. With malaria gone, humans will move into these areas and do what humans always do: destroy the environment. It's going to be a disaster that makes climate change worse, and explode the already untenable human population.
LOL. Putin's panzers would be in Paris in no time. Europeans won't fight for their countries and their militaries are an underfunded joke. Biting the hand that feeds you. Nice.
The program is real help. It helps real people, for real. We need to end it because it clashes with what you think? Wow, that's awful and you're an awful person.
You missed the real story here. The detail, which we know from direct empirical evidence, is what kind of shirt was the spokesman wearing when heade the announcement?
You mean that program that has helped millions of people stop drinking and get their lives back on track? Are you actually against harm reduction? That's some seriously hard-hearted shit right there. Wow.
This just in, there are many people out there with empty lives. They fill them by purchasing novelty. The kind of novelty? Doesn't matter as much as you'd think. At least with Apple products, there is the added status increase by being seen in public with one of their products. A phone goes in your pocket while a watch is always visible.
Why aren't we doing the same thing? It seems the very job of our government to give our own people an advantage. Instead we get sold out to fund hostile countries that hate us.
Nobody has any empathy with male losers. Nobody wants to spend time with them except other male losers. If MDMA makes octopuses have empathy with them then it needs to be very carefully controlled so that it doesn't happen to us.
So fat-shaming is OK? You completely failed to address that.
So people who disagree with your political opinions are evil and should be killed? WTF? That's what a fascist would say. You know the Russians want us fighting with one another, right? You are fulfilling Putin's plan. This means either you're a paid shill, or nobody is paying you and you're a useful idiot. Which is it?
I note you didn't bother to refute the Big 5. That's because it's science. You're closed-minded and disagreeable, and this makes you reject any idea you didn't come up with yourself. Human intelligence does indeed distribute on a bell curve, just like many other heritable traits. Now, your next argument is to *giggle* insist that intelligence isn't heritable.
"many of these ads did not violate our content policies. That means that for most of them, if they had been run by authentic individuals, anywhere, they could have remained on the platform."
Shouldn't you stop foreigners from meddling in US social issues?
The right to speak out on global issues that cross borders is an important principle. Organizations such as UNICEF, Oxfam or religious organizations depend on the ability to communicate - and advertise - their views in a wide range of countries. While we may not always agree with the positions of those who would speak on issues here, we believe in their right to do so - just as we believe in the right of Americans to express opinions on issues in other countries.
- the ads were non-political in nature, and didn't feature or favour a political candidate
- 56% of the ads were run AFTER the 2016 US federal election
- 25% of the ads were never displayed to anyone due to Facebook's algorithms not finding them relevant to trending interests
- only 25% of the ads were geographically-targeted
- Facebook is not sure that the ads were part of an organized campaign
- Facebook is not sure that the accounts the ads were purchased with are associated with each other
- Facebook is not certain that the ads were purchased by Russians
- many of the ads were not purchased using Russia's currency
- huge numbers of actual political ads are bought and run on Facebook from all countries around the world, and that is normal and OK
- the "overwhelming majority" of ad-space purchases from Russia by Russians are normal and not suspicious in any way
So, after a year of investigations and debunked conspiracy / false claim after debunked conspiracy / false claim, the strongest argument for alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US federal election is $100K of non-political or partisan Facebook ads - more than half of which ran after the election, and a quarter of which never ran at all. That's telling.
And it's getting states and local governments to implement their own rules. In a complete coincidence, one of Trump's ideas is to decentralize government and put it back in the hands of the people and away from the untrustworthy federal government. Don't fall for Ajit's plan! Keep the power in the federal government! Don't devolve it, you're falling for Trump's evil plan!
That's so wrong. A society in which nobody trusts each other is a shithole. A society where people trust each other by default is an amazing society that people want to live in. You want us to live in a suspicious society like Russia. No. We refuse.

That's a code violation in most neighborhoods. You must live in Nevada.

Yes it is a meaningful metric. It's a standard in the field.
It's not a penny in the jar. Remember Sanders' free college plan that was widely mocked as unaffordable? A mere $60 billion a year. Trump's wall? $25 billion once.

So you don't have a problem with us disbanding NATO then. As it is obviously not needed.
The problem was doing it in Texas. A lot of states, like Connecticut, think it's okay for adult men to have sex with 14 year olds.

Facebook VP: "The Majority Of Russian Ad Spend Happened AFTER The Election"

And it was a toxic waste product that changed the climate and genocided most of the life on the planet. Never forget this.
