Philosophy, Religion & Society / Re: There is no LGBT agenda within the government.
« on: May 25, 2023, 11:14:41 PM »As a skeptic, can you provide an example of an event - or an official narrative regarding an event - that you are skeptical about?
Yes.
The media minimizes the popularity of FE beliefs, with the narrative being that they are a loud minority.
Weren't we talking about hate crime events? FE beliefs representation in MSM isn't even an event. And I beg to differ because they love FE beliefs that they can use as strawmen - the more absurd the better. They just don't love FE facts.

« on: May 25, 2023, 06:56:07 PM »Common example: some hate crime occurs against (trans people, Jews, etc) and the majority of comments will be entertaining the idea that the hate crime was actually faked by le gubment to “make people think trans people experience hate crimes”(?)
I thought you claimed to be a skeptic a few comments ago? That means you ought to entertain the idea that every time the TV "gives you the facts" it may not be entirely true - especially if there's solid evidence to suggest so.
As a skeptic, can you provide an example of an event - or an official narrative regarding an event - that you are skeptical about?

Science & Alternative Science / Re: Nuclear Bombs Do Not Exist
« on: May 22, 2023, 04:28:30 PM »For example: "The vast majority of the people that died in both of those incidents died due to radiation effects". Marie Curie died of "radiation effects", did someone nuke her, Bill?No. She exposed herself to it by carrying radium around in her pockets.
That's what I was told in school too, but:
Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie#Death
Curie visited Poland for the last time in early 1934. A few months later, on 4 July 1934, she died aged 66 at the Sancellemoz sanatorium in Passy, Haute-Savoie, from aplastic anemia believed to have been contracted from her long-term exposure to radiation, causing damage to her bone marrow.
The damaging effects of ionising radiation were not known at the time of her work, which had been carried out without the safety measures later developed. She had carried test tubes containing radioactive isotopes in her pocket, and she stored them in her desk drawer, remarking on the faint light that the substances gave off in the dark. Curie was also exposed to X-rays from unshielded equipment while serving as a radiologist in field hospitals during the war. In fact, when Curie's body was exhumed in 1995, the French Office de Protection contre les Rayonnements Ionisants (ORPI) "concluded that she could not have been exposed to lethal levels of radium while she was alive". They pointed out that radium poses a risk only if it is ingested, and speculated that her illness was more likely to have been due to her use of radiography during the First World War.
There's that magic word "believe" again.

How is he not a troll, though?
Yes. All in my head.
Didn't bother to read the rest of your rant, sorry!
That was an excellent compilation of the voices in your head.
We know that you get all your info from the one true media, YouTube.
Idiots with no exposure to the real world will always be susceptible to the bullshit from people like Fox Broadcasting, small network owners like Sinclair, freaks like Alex Jones and an entire menagerie of YouTube quacks. It all targets people who don't read.Didn't bother to read the rest of your rant, sorry!
tl:dr
Trump and his movement are a traitorous bunch of shit working to turn our country into part of the new Soviet Union that Russia wants to create. They do this in exchange for part of the power. It's all happening in front of our faces but people who don't bother to read are too busy surfing YouTube.
And this is from another thread where I first encountered this "precious" human being that you're asking me to respect:
ITT: the skiddie discovers gpt, only a few years to the party
lol... talk about being late to the party,
Dude, the earth is round.
Dude, the earth is round.By all means, prove it.
That's easy, my map accurately reflects known distances.
Your map... oh wait... you have no map.
Everything I read from him is along those lines and full of insults and swearing.
What's the point in keeping belligerent trolls here if I may ask? For entertainment value?

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Reconciling Velikovskianism with the theory of the Flat Earth
« on: May 22, 2023, 09:03:38 AM »QuoteI may have misinterpreted this but are you suggesting the earth is a sphere or have I misread this?
I am saying that if magnetism creates the same effect as gravity, then magnetism would eventually cause the earth to collapse into a sphere...because that is the effect of gravity. Any large enough mass will eventually collapse into a sphere due to their own gravity.
Nope. It would actually "collapse into" a flat plane (roughly... it wouldn't be completely flat).

Sounds like there are Dr Van Nostrands (stupid people) everywhere in the world.
LOL...
You've taken wrongness up by an entire order of magnitude.
Ok. Since you're an anonymous troll you will just claim what you want about yourself and provide proof of nothing.
Let me guess - you're a millionaire and have a hot girlfriend?

Homosexuality has been legal in Russia since 1993. Very accurate information from you, just like everything you say...
But since I'm willing to bet any amount that you weren't even alive back then, I'll give you a pass on that one.

Yeah but which clown is the one selling our country out to Putin's Soviet Union.
This ideology is why Trump still has polling numbers. We have been so indoctrinated to fear the economic wet blanket of socialists who want to take our guns and turn our children gay that conservatives will vote for a piece of shit like the Donald.
I'll still vote for a hermaphrodite, socialist devil worshiper before I ever vote for another traitorous piece of shit Republican.
Actually, the Easter Bunny is the one who runs the country when you choose Biden.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: The Ether vs. Rocketship Earth
« on: May 20, 2023, 08:08:52 AM »gyroscopes - I love how they demonstrate that the earth is round and rotating on its axis.
That’s a great demonstration of precession. Thanks for sharing.
The same principle is used in aircraft directional gyros to correct for the earth’s rotation - known as the drift or lat nut, as it needs to be adjusted for latitude.

Ok, SillyBob the False Axiom Guy - please stay on topic because this thread isn't about the gyroscopic pear Earth. Or just leave and be a gyroscopic pear Earth believer somewhere else, which is always an option.

Elon Musk himself tried to frame it that way about a month ago.
Me? I know it's hard for you to believe, but I'm not a "conservative or MAGA type". Nice strawman attempt, though.
Yes. All in my head.

That's a nice argument (not really). If only it was true. Another poor strawman attempt from a reality denying troll.

This is what SillyBob believes physics is:

There are quantum ""physicists"" who will tell you that the bullets aren't actually hitting anything, and they have a mathematical model to prove it LOL.

LMAO. Now you've made it clear that you're a Dunning-Kruger sufferer who thinks maths = reality.
Stick to your gyroscopes, eh?
I’ll stick to maths (which doesn’t equal reality, of course, but rather models it, and provides us with a means to understand our world), physics, and yes, gyroscopes - I love how they demonstrate that the earth is round and rotating on its axis.
You stick to public demonstrations that you slept through your physics and maths classes, and we’ll both be happy.
Good day.
