That goes right into the whole "my truth" crap. Which is unfortunately, propagated by many media outlets. And you're right, asking questions while not actually looking for the objective truth but instead the one that fits your narrative is all too common. The older I get the more I dislike it when someone asks a question but either doesn't listen to the answer or has already decided what the answer should be and refuse to understand why your answer isn't the same. I also find I don't have a problem if the answer is "this is what we know so far" or "honestly, we just don't know yet we need more time". Of course I seem to be in a minority on that opinion and alot of people, groups, news agencies etc... are more than happy saying something is an absolute fact, end of, just to seem like an authority on a subject. Then instead of admitting if they were wrong they just gloss over it and pretend they did no such thing.

One of my favorite books 1 comments

Of course this does require people to actually read. I swear so many people are almost proud of the fact they haven't read a book in years or since school.
P1: I just finished the best book you should read it.
P2: Yeah no, I haven't read a book in years.
P1: But you get so much out of them.
P2: I just can't get into them.
P1: Well what genre do you like?
P2: I don't know, I don't read books. I just wait for the movies.
P1: But the books can be so much better.
P2: It just takes too long to get through them.
P1: Well this book only has about 200 pages. It's real short.
P2: That'd take me like 3 weeks to read.
P1: You suck at reading then. Of course you don't like reading if you can barely do it. It's just like everything else you have to get better at it and the better you get the more you like it.
P2: Whatever you nerd. I'm perfectly fine not reading.
P1: You really frustrate me.

That being said, even people who know nothing on a subject can ask good questions. They might not even be able to understand the answer but if they ask those who do know the subject sometimes those people take the answer and work with it. On the flip side this is also how you learn about something. If you know nothing about a subject but hear something you think is fishy and question it; you learn about said subject. That doesn't make you an expert right off the bat but just because you're not contributing to scientific advances doesn't mean you shouldn't question things. Asking the questions, valid, stupid, ignorant, or genuine is better than not asking at all. After all that soccer mom may be an idiot but hopefully after she's told, no it does not, she'll at least be less ignorant than she was before. Many of today's problems occur because people aren't asking. Instead they just take it as fact and heaven help you if you question them.

I just play the over under game. I look at what little is in my cart and guess if it's going to be over or under $100. Used to be I could really take up some space in the cart and still be under but today? Let's just say I'm carrying a whole lot less bags than before.

Age is just a number 2 comments

Lol. As I get older I can totally relate to the what my parents meant when they said I was a still a kid. Now that it's been 20 years on, teens really are just kids. Somewhat reliable, okay conversationalist (sometimes), and totally not mature enough to be in a relationship with. And I swear I was never that dumb, though I probably was. I imagine after a 100+ years they'd feel like they were robbing the cradle with 20-30 yr olds.

Now is there a response where someone takes this seriously and has to have it explained that pop is used because they pop out of the toaster? That's the one I want to see.

Oh, you mean a for profit business is catering to their market base. Shocking. It's almost like they like making money over doing what should be each individuals job in their society.

The trouble with an open mind .. 3 comments

Being open minded means you're willing to think for yourself. Alot of people would rather not. Alot of close minded people think they're open minded when they're not. An open minded person can have very definitive beliefs. Rejecting an opinion is completely normal for both open and close minded people. Claiming that rejecting an opinion is proof of close mindedness, is in fact, proof of their own close mindedness.

8. Thinking that because it's on mainstream media it's probably true makes you the same type of idiot who believes the small time content providers over the big ones.
9. Mainstream media pretends to have experts too, doesn't mean they're any more real.
10. Real experts lie all the time when it suits their purposes. Just because one says something doesn't mean you shouldn't double check it. Getting a second opinion is perfectly acceptable behaviour.
11. If a bunch of experts say one thing and a bunch of experts say the opposite doesn't mean one is wrong and the other is right. It can, but it may also mean that we just don't know enough yet and they're both actually right, or both wrong.

An open mind only means you're willing to listen to what someone says not that you have to except what they're speaking as anything more than trash. So let's break this down.
1. Okay, you put this out there.
2. Doesn't make it true, also doesn't make it false.
3. You're a scumbag if you're actually "pretending" and not a real one.
4. May be entirely true, you might not hear it on mainstream media. They may in fact be ranting. Lots of people rant doesn't mean anything. Doesn't make the thing true or false.
5. Yep, lots of people do this. Lot's a people put stuff on the internet and make money from the content. No difference between them and main stream media who make money on the same thing as these guys.
Now lets add some.
6. Thinking something has to be false because some nut says it's true on youtube means you're close minded.
7. Thinking that unless mainstream media takes it up it's probably not true or researched correctly makes you close minded.

You either keep religion out of politics or you pay taxes 17 comments

Granted this only works on certain churches. If it's a regular church it'll do nothing since they're following the rules. Just so everyone is aware churches, all tax exempt organizations, do still have to pay some taxes called Non Ad Valorem tax. This covers things like emergency services, utilities(local infrastructure), lighting....etc. That's not to say some aren't abusing the exemptions but it runs similar in frequency to normal businesses that commit tax fraud.

Not if the quiz is literally:
Write your answer
1.
2.
3.
etc...
I've had a few of those. You were allowed your homework but not the textbook. So if you didn't do it you wouldn't even know what the question was, let alone answer it.

Teacher: All right pop quiz time. This is worth %30 of your grade. Don't worry this is completely based off the homework so if you did it you'll have the answers. You have 5 minutes.

Probably should stop dating the girlfriend and start dating the brother now 15 comments

That's generally the most common theory of why the most abundant metal on the surface was not used whereas "shiny" metals like copper or tin were used first. Aluminum is actual one of the most common metals but since it takes so much processing to use it didn't really show up until the industrial revolution and even then was akin to gold in price. Copper however, can be easy to spot and can become malleable with just a camp fire making it a metal that was used. Combine it with tin and you get bronze. Iron takes a bit more effort and unlike gold you generally don't find it just lying around on the surface since it tends to turn into iron oxide (rust). Interestingly iron oxide was used as a coloring agent long before iron tools came to be. After all who would look at this red dust stuff and think it was a metal.

Well that's easy. All you have to do is just look at it for a few moments and you'd see it too. Obviously there are only two that could really use the decrescendo but only the one without moving into the overly dramatic. It's not hard. Just look at the argument, counter argument of them while not ignoring the supporting elements of the other parts. Is it building tension or resolving? Of course you don't decrescendo the resolving that's just silly. Unless, of course it's needed for effect. At least half of these are in the building phase and you certainly aren't going to be putting a decrescendo there, well unless the counter part is needed to build the tension to offset the main line, but that not pointedly not the case in these selections.

Person 1: You're gender fluid?
Person 2: Yes, sometimes I'm a man and sometimes I'm woman.
Person 1: Okay, and it says here you think all men are pigs?
Person 2: Lol, yes men are just pigs, they never treat you with the respect you deserve.
Person 1: But sometimes you're a man. Does that make you a pig?
Person 2: Well no because I'm a woman.
Person 1: ?? But you said sometimes you're a woman and sometimes you're a man.
Person 2: Yes, I'm genderfluid.
Person 1: So when you're a man you're a pig.
Person 2: Well men are pigs but I'm not a pig when I'm a man.
Person 1: But all men are pigs?
Person 2: Yes, just not with me. I'm not a pig.
Person 1: Then not all men are pigs.
Person 2 : No, all men are pigs.
Person 1: Then you're not a man.
Person 2: How dare you!! Who are you to .....

Yeah no, there have been several that have written more than nine and likely the most prodigious with 342 is still alive. But it is interesting how many only got to 8-10 before they died.

Unless your in a state that doesn't require a reason to terminate. In those states as long as the "reported" reason is not one of the very few illegal ones they can certainly get rid of you. It then puts the entire onus on you to prove they fired you illegally. And just so you know the reason can be as simple as "failure to conform to company environment". That's a great generic reason and there's almost nothing you can say or do to prove that that's not the reason.
