Jets going transsonic is cool.

Google searching "transsonic" brings up… different results.

I tried to get a "Chinese gov't created the coronavirus and released it to control protesters" conspiracy theorist to share their evidence and they told me to think for myself and stop watching CNN. It was so disappointing. I thought they would be like flat earthers where their evidence was crap but you could at least respect them for trying.

But I just did, so clearly your view is fallacious.

Ultimately you're referring to a rule of debate, but this isn't a debate. They told me something I said wasn't true, and I referred them to sources where they can learn more, and asked them to search for further information. I did that because I do not have my primary sources available, so I would be providing the first sources I found, and if I did provide sources, we would spend hours on the merry-go-round of they poking holes in, and not liking, my sources, while not disproving or disputing my claim, and me providing alternative sources for hours. I do not have the time for that, and as much as it will hurt you, I am not the fountain of all information.

Life isn't a debate club for you, you are an adult and capable of researching someone else's claim on your own time, rather than wasting theirs. Other people do not usually spend hours of their lives categorising their life experiences and sources so that other people can peruse them when they don't believe something, and almost nobody can these days list the exact sources that led them to believe something.

If I had listed sources, all I would have done would have gone to Google, typed in the same search I displayed, and linked a few articles from there. There is absolutely no reason why you cannot do that on your own time.

The burden of proof works with science, where you can list a specific experimental claim or paper that demonstrates what you claim, and with philosophy, where you can list the author or publication that led you to believe a specific idea. It falls down when making general claims (especially about cultures), as many of them are either experiencial, and do not lend easily to being cited or referred to, or are part of such a web of different supporting beliefs you could build a library out of the primary sources. Unless you want every single chat history and interaction I have had for the last decade? I guess that would be a primary source.

Eh just read the first two, idk why I wrote that much, graphomania struck at the worst moment or whatever.

TL;DR: I don't have primary source available, all I would have done is googled, there's no point me doing that for you and us getting into an arguing about sources*

My college room mate and I stole a sign pointing the direction to Athol, SD so I'm going to politely disagree with this jpg.

There's a town in South Dakota named Athol and it's pronounced like rear end in a top hat if you had a lisp.

Also if we're cribbing from the yank map there's not only an essex but a sussex wessex, and middlesex. No norsex that I know of, though, for some reason.

Also a Bangor in Wales and a Sexhow near where I live that's supposedly the site of a legendary Worm.

can pet snakes be fed anything besides whole mouse corpses? i think most people find handling those to take effort disproportionate to their mass.

No one in Maine pronounces Bangor "Bang-ger". It's "Bang-gore," like it fuckin looks. That one lovely song mispronounced it fourty fuckin years ago and now every dumbass flatlander passing through this town pronounces it like that. It's the easiest way to identify a tourist.



Besides, there's plenty of way better dirty names in Maine, like Dixmont.
