You’re right that performi g agreement and disagreement are certainly not equal on Twitter, but there is also the concept of ratio-ing where tons of quote tweets and replies compared to few likes is usually a good indicator that people are disagreeing.

George Orwell: Hey Karl can I copy your homework?

Karl Marx: Sure just change it enough so it doesn’t look like you copied it.

George Orwell writing 1984:

So Uncle Ruckus

Oh yes, I’m quite familiar, the first university I went to was surrounded by corn and soybean fields.

I’d wager its also got something to do with how prevalent soy is used in various Asian cuisines, so like anything even remotely tangentially related to China is also a commie plot to take over The West™ in addition to the whole “soy mimics estrogen” thing.

Because the last guy spent so much time and effort pandering to the antivaxxer crowd and it resulted in the deaths of millions.

For just about any other crime I’d tend to agree with the sentiment, but for nearly any other crime I can come up with some hypothetical scenario where that crime is justifiable, where I can comprehend the reasoning behind the act.

I can’t come up with any hypothetical where rape or sexual assault is justifiable.

Devoting 10 years of his life to the constitution does not automatically mean he will interpret it in good faith and not push a personal/organization agenda, COUGHFederalistSocietyCOUGH

We should give the aid, but all of it through federal channels. Like just completely bypass desantis, send FEMA in and set up themselves. Help the people, not their governor.

New information about the Trump indictment, any updates on how Republicans are dealing with this, any breaks between the far right Maga and the handful of less psychopathic Republicans, any comments from congress people about the indictments

Raised catholic here too, maybe catholic guilt but personally I think it’s more so the pervading idea that people implicitly aren’t allowed to exist in a space outside the home or offices unless they spend money and by walking out without buying anything bypasses the normal routine of going to a store to get something and going through some kind of checkout process.

Their comment seems more so that this isn’t some wild revalation nobody saw coming, this literally almost happened on Jan 6.

I’m all for reiterating the danger that Trump and Republicans pose to our nation, but this article isn’t bringing anything new to the convo, just one more voice saying Republicans will throw out democracy when things don’t go their way.

Yeah… Wasn’t that the point? Like Normies are people who’s aren’t terminally online and function in normal society.

While good, indictments are only one step in the legal process, they are not the end result. Most people were not confident we would even make it this far into the legal process with how much the justice system favors those with money and power and this situation has literally never happened in our history. We have never had a former president indicted for crimes.

Woke has previously meant “aware of social injustices” now the chuds use it as “anything they don’t like and is vaguely progressive or representative of anyone not cis, het, white, or a dude”

I mean yeah it’s not a great light but Nimrod was considered a mighty hunter and a tyrannical ruler, not exactly the fool we think of it today.

So I think there’s a bit of crossing of wires (pun maybe intended) when it comes understanding both concepts. For water a valve acts as a door, open doors let things through, closed doors block things from moving.

For circuits, I believe closed comes from a more mathematical thing where closed more means without holes/gaps. So the circuit is open when there is a gap in the circuit as a whole.

I think the real confusion occurs when in high school physics classes there is a segment about flowing water in preparation for the next chapter on electricity and circuits.

Ahh the Socratic Method. One of the most effective means of teaching is playung just dumb enough, asking the right questions and getting them to provide some evidence. Make them convince you of their point of view and just keep pointing out the flaws once they start making contradictions.

Yeah this is a super obvious mistake especially for a fairly mainstream news source. Prices are still increasing, just not going up as fast as before.

It something that always has been. Ben Franklin’s Poor Richard An Almanack from 1739 uses title case. It was used in illuminated manuscripts written by monks

You’re asking something that probably comes from a wide array of reasons that dates back literal centuries, even millennia.
