What have they done to contribute to this?

Common thing said but pretty stupid. Most scientific discoveries are grounded in figuring out anecdotal phenomenon. This is even more true for social sciences

I think the user is referencing the Gospal of Judas: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Judas

But not sure if there’s a larger thought group here to point to

It is - it’s a super affirmative position. It takes an extreme position within the sphere it’s trying to criticize to make an exaggerated point to attack. It’s literally a classic strawman.

Your follow up is in the same vein. Its empty rhetoric

These arguments are exactly why people hate vegans. It’s nonsense.

Not only do you jump to an insane straw man. You showcase that you ignore a clear increasing contradiction around your world view and choose reactionary nothing.

If you care about life realize the harder question. If you care about the environment realize clear inefficiencues. Currently, you showcase nothing more than crude thoughtlessness.

If he was using their VPN, they wouldn’t have been able to turn that over according to their own site: https://protonvpn.com/features/no-logs-policy#:~:text=No-logs VPN,lengths%2C or location.

This is a weird point. Like yes, Google is a government subsidized monopoly. But to keep this feature is a massive waste of resources.

Like from a tech perspective, this should not be done. Like fuck Google can be a thing and will have no impact on that

Communism is a form of socialism. If you think socialism is a single ideology, then you’ve only read the spark notes for either.

Beating Jews and firing rockets at Jews for the reason of them being Jewish is antisemitic. Despite Hamas absolutely being antisemitic, launching rockets at an occupying state killing your people is not. Americans criticizing their government for giving money to a foreign etnostate attempting genocide, also not antisemitic.

Hope that cleared things up fascist!

I’ll give the couple in the article this, I know many of the it’s okay until it affects us types and none of them changed their voting habits

Why do I feel like you live on colonized land?

Yeah he’s a creep and so are you

I don’t know about unpolished, wasn’t my cup of tea in a lot of ways but felt very polished in almost every regard I can think of

Not a scientist but the article seems to mean that they checked that the tools themselves had no defects giving incorrect measurements.

This comment seems to be questioning the methodology of how we measure the rate of expansion so tackles a different aspect of the conversation.

But that’s about as much as I can contribute haha

The monks who made the calendar where shooting for 2 BC (or AD?) As the birth year. Only issue is they didn’t really have a lot to go on and guessed basically.

While that’s true that the earliest non-Christian source was Josephus, that doesn’t mean Paul (very contemporary figure) or the Bible aren’t good sources. We can read around the obvious fabrications and their bias doesn’t per se remove all historical value.

The standard for historians (even critical ones) strongly support treating Jesus as a real person.

This isn’t at all a win though for Christians. The Dead Sea scrolls are very indicative of Jesus as a non-unique figure. It was common for there to be Jewish apocalyptic teachers. Jesus was one of those.

The better way of thinking about him in my opinion is that he was a real Jewish teacher who never claimed to be the son of God, that was mythologized by early Christians.

Highly recommend a Marginal Jew by Meier or anything by Bart Erhman for Atheists.

Lol check out this bs: "The judge compared Littlejohn’s actions to those of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, noting that, “your actions were also a threat to our democracy.”

“It engenders the same fear that January 6 does,” Reyes added."

For sure but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be progressive especially for the time. Know nothing about him tbh but many historical progressive figures are pretty problematic

Like it’s such a common thing that I have to believe the original is trolling
