I mentioned 0.1 degrees because that is the precision of the measurements cited in this thread and 0.1 degrees latitude translates in to approximately 10kms on the surface of the earth.

Most of what you have said is covered already in the thread.

The memespiracy investigation has already more than proven itself to be a fruitful and worthwhile investigation, judging by the many indictments and convictions it's racked up. The Stormy Daniels issue, however, is definitely a wild goose chase, because none of it will matter in the slightest. Trump supporters don't care that their hero had an affair with a porn star, and they absolutely don't care that he might have broken the law in covering it up. And Trump will not be indicted or impeached unless a number of his supporters turn against him.

To be fair, this isn't something exclusive to Republicans. Clinton was probably saved during his own impeachment by the fact that most of his supporters simply didn't care about him lying about his affair.

You don't think there are a bunch of republicans that would prefer Mike Pence in office right now?

The memespiracy may be a wild goose chase but it looks like they have evidence Trump committed a crime relating to campaign finance violation:

Total Lackey-Can you address that the proposition that the amount NZ would have moved according to plate tectonic theory is several orders of magnitude less than both of the measurements cited and therefore irrelevant?

If they do it will probably be less violent. Or gory, I should say.

Well that wouldn't be good IMO. Part of the reason I liked Daredevil so much was the realism and portrayal of the dark nature. Especially D'onofrio and Bernthal.

Removing gore does not have to decrease the realism.  It depends on directorial choices for shot selection and storytelling.

Ok fair enough.  I just wanted to encourage some good will towards a solution, but I understand where you guys are coming from.

You obviously didn't understand what was said.  Have another go, I will break it down for you:

• One degree of latitude represnet approximately 111kms of distance.
• Therefore 0.1 degrees represent approximately 11kms of distance.
• According to tectonic plate theory, NZ should have shifted approximately 4m from the time of Cook's measurement to today.
• That would create a shift of 0.00003 degrees.
• This is not a significant difference.

0.1 degrees works out to approximately 10kms so it looks like everything still checks out. Total Lackey, we forgive your excitement to yell GOTCHA!

I’m not proposing a philosophical discussion, I am asking if you have done a gut-check based on the feedback from others? Saddam
is saying there is an unclear standard of behavior based on what others do not get banned for. Perhaps what is needed is a clear conversation where the prohibited behaviors are explicitly spelled out so he understands what standard he is allowed?

My whole take of the issue is that pollution exists, it is being dealt with, and that is all we can do.

If there really was chemtrails they would have, by now given the length of time of their supposed existence, had a deleterious effect on all of society. Any attorney filing suits for environmental damages, animal and human deaths, etc. (such as Erin Brockovich) would have surely picked up the cause and won the case by now.

That makes sense. Whatever chemical they are spraying would probably have been found and analyzed.

I dunno, I see a bunch of people who are calling this perception in to question. If you are claiming that you treat everyone the same then you probably are not being 100% honest because humans suck at being fair.

If this problem is to be solved both sides are going to have to make a commitment to trying something different. irc isn’t so special that this shouldn’t be solved.

No, Stack pointed out that the existence of patents does nothing to support the existence of chemtrails. That’s pretty obvious to everyone. Unless you can somehow show that these patents can only relate to chemtrails?

It sounds like a Michel Gondrie movie waiting to happen where the kid meets her supposedly dead dad in the produce section of the supermarket and then goes down a psychedelic rabbit hole.

None of this is surprising. Disney’s streaming platform launches in 2020 I think? No doubt there will be capebingeing then.

FYI, I know this general from when I lived in Tombstone back in the 90s. I just asked him if he believed in chemtrails and he laughed and said "no".

Did you ask him why he was interviewed by a chemtrail believing group?
