nah libs use science to justify their current worldview of "gently caress the poor" and are pretty immune to emotional arguments. ive swayed chuds with emotional arguments before. or at the very least they have higher emotional intelligence. there are definitely libs you can radicalize and chuds that are immune to any emotinoal argument bc at the end of the day racism and abortion win out in their mind, but i've found chuds are easier to persuade.

accepting bourgeois science has nothing to do with it

plenty of ultra chuds that can do stats and diffeq out there

Have any of you talked to chuds vs libs irl

There's a reason you see more libs suddenly criticizing capitalism on twitter right now, and why more chuds are going full death cult.

Anyone who says chuds are "easier to convince" than libs earns a fuckin lol from me

This is all besides the point though since people change their minds on their own and not through direct convincing

Imagine being so far up your own rear end you call science "bourgeois science"

you know, as opposed to the immortal science of marxism-leninism

the hard sciences in america are hugely driven by market forces. the american higher education system has a fundamental instrumentalist mindset that's mega-conducive to training up little chudlingtons into profit-seeking science machines

there is absolutely nothing about science as it is taught in america that prepares one to adopt leftist politics

the sausage industry has always been a loving mess

quote:

When the inspectors finally entered the premises for their daily inspection, an angered but calm-appearing Alexander would then proceed to retrieve one of his guns from his office drawer, re-enter the lobby room, then shot and killed the two USDA inspectors and a state inspector. U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors Jean Hillery, 56, and Thomas Quadros, 52, and state Department of Food and Agriculture Inspector William Shaline, 57, were killed. One California State Inspector, Earl Willis, 51, managed to escape into a nearby bank located there on Washington Street as a now fuming Alexander chased after him down the block, which was recorded on camcorder by the proprietor of one of the nearby businesses.

I smoked for 10 years. I had quit twice, each lasting 6 months. Finally quit for good last April. Here's some advice:

Break up your habits and patterns. Smoke with your non-dominate hand, smoke holding the cig different ways, use different fingers. Same goes for your lighter and matches.

Buy a different brand or change the type. The shorter the cigs, the better

Smoke while watching yourself in the mirror. For extra pain, try this naked. (This works for dieting and overeating too.)

Use a quit smoking app.

Avoid alcohol, or change your drink. I love beer, whiskey, vodka but they STILL make me want a cig. I always enjoyed red wine, but it always tasted terrible with my menthols. So I drink red wine these days.

BEWARE OF TELEVISION in that any time you watch someone light a cigarette and/or take a pull and/or exhale a big puff, you're gonna wanna scream bloody murder while your head and/or body feel like exploding. Be resilient.

The cravings will pass.
The cravings will pass.

My mom had a really bad fall while I was asleep, huge gash in her scalp, carpet soaked in blood.

Her doctor's first piece of advice? "Is she conscious and talking? Okay, then for the love of god, don't take her to the hospital!"

What a cool time to be alive!

Edit: And now I'm thinking of the majority of Americans, let alone American elderly people, who don't have a doctor they can call who will actually pick up, or a son to take care of them, and the ER is literally the only place they can go for treatment. I'm really good at making myself feel bad, although I guess these days that isn't much of a feat.

my favorite thing about this thread right now is that the last 500 pages have had a very very slow drama of people talking past each other about spanish tortillas and mexican tortillas and no one noticing and like every 30 pages someone responding thinking of the wrong kind when they quote someone.

The scary thing is letting her go to sleep. Normally after falling and hitting your head you want to get that checked out.

But the rational thinking promoted by science is actually very important when it comes to UNDERSTANDING their material concerns.

When it comes to chuds, all bets are off on the conclusion they will reach.

That's why we see some of them literally believing in a secret demon-worshipping pedophilic deep-state cabal.
