the difference is if the party somehow gets kicked out of the state, they stay loyal to the party and not the state. much like the PLA in China.

Google is not an agent of the state, it's worse. they are an agent of the Party.

that seems like a tough Target to hit under stress, and even if you hit one, I'm pretty sure they would be able to stay standing on three legs.

I was thinking maybe in the very front on the camera? get rid of its ability to sense and all.

relevant question: 12 gauge slug + 5-7 round? or 308 with 30 rounds?

also, where do you think the best place to aim would be?

bruh, you're reading way too much into a 2-sentence tweet. My point is that he fundamentally misrepresents what critical thinking is. I have nothing to say about the mirror of certain conspiracy theories because they are not relevant here.

who said anything about conspiracy theories? I'm talking about critical thinking.

in my view, critical thinking is the act of thinking intently about a subject and questioning it.

the Cambridge dictionary defines critical thinking as "the process of thinking carefully about a subject or idea, without allowing feelings or opinions to affect you"

Merriam-Webster defines critical thinking as "the act or practice of thinking critically (as by applying reason and questioning assumptions) in order to solve problems, evaluate information, discern biases, etc"

The exchange posted here is essentially saying that proposing conclusions that differ from the mainstream is a "rejection of critical thinking", which is patently untrue. Blindly accepting or rejecting any conclusion wholesale, true or false, is a rejection of critical thinking.

it looks like they just haven't added any. the current data sample seems to be pulled from the consultant companies' websites

same here. building 7 is what convinced me that 9/11 stinks.

Rejecting an existing conclusion is not rejecting critical thinking. it is in fact the opposite.

even if a conclusion is obvious, such as "the sky is blue on a sunny day", taking that assertion without thinking about it is the absence of critical thinking. questioning why the sky is blue, or if the sky is really blue, is an exercise of critical thinking.

it depends on the leftist. contrary to popular belief, most people do in fact value their friends and family over their political beliefs. most people go out of their way to avoid culture war bullshit because they legitimately want to stay friends with the person they disagree with.

you can usually tell when someone is truly wearing a mask. they will be on edge, socially stunted, often wear "subtle" political material for fashion, and are generally looking to pounce when someone says the wrong thing. they will also be skittish because they legitimately think the world is out to get them, or they will be determined because they legitimately think they are the hero of this story.

City leftists are absolutely insufferable, and I generally recommend avoiding them at all costs. however, anywhere outside of a blue hell hole (or even in the suburbs of a blue hellhole) people will be reasonable.

sexual degenerates come in all shapes and sizes, and while I find it debatable whether or not sexuality is innate, being a degenerate is absolutely a choice.

if Japanese media is anything to go by, gay people have existed in Japan for a long time without the need for this degenerate horse shit.

at least until the election.

That said it all. The dems are losing the culture war. This time around, most people value child safety over BBQ rights. he doesn't care about pedos being stopped, he just wants it hush until they don't have to pretend anymore.

whether or not this is correct, it's important to refer to groups by their actual name in a serious discussion.
