The thing is, copying experts does not mean you understand the subject.

Lots of people think that just because they cite someone with more credentials than them, then that person must be correct. That's not how the real world works and you'll understand it more as you get older.

If you just trust people based on their credentials, then you're treating science like a religion and shouldn't be taken seriously by rational people. You do this because it's easier than understanding the science yourself.

This means you will be taken seriously by average people since rationality is on the decline.

It's sad because he's doing this while the US withholds supplies.

Also, "I support genocide as long as I get something out of it" is not a good look for a nation that wants sympathy from the world.

He's just looking out for what he cares about, like most scumbags.

Fuck everyone else, right? Lol.

That doesn't make it okay and it never will.

Also, isn't the US withholding support for Ukraine?

What are you talking about?

People get cavities all the time, and it's because they don't brush their damn teeth.

But also I think fewer and fewer people use the salt shaker because they eat so much processed food (which has salt that is not iodized).

This. I never add salt to my cooking because there's already so much salt in everything.

Terrorism means waging war with the west without spending a lot of money.

Genocide, on the other hand...

Great point.

It's almost like nations are just looking out for their rich people while everyone else is a useful idiot squabbling over bullshit.

Honestly, I'd wait to see how that plays out in court before freaking out over it.

I can see any average lawyer convincing a jury that there's no way to prove the client knew the software was pirated.

Bailey, who last year attempted to implement a ban on gender-affirming care for people of all ages

I'm not a fan of giving it to children, but adults should be able to do what they want with their bodies as long as they are not hurting anyone else.

What ever happened to that Iranian revolution that was going on?

It just kind of fizzled out.
