QM is all about the data.

Things I can infer about QM:

1. He's probably still pissed that he couldn't eat something called Numerical Soup as a kid.

2. He probably has had two conversations this week that involved the words "probability and theoretically".

3. He's probably felt guilty for giving me a red X but will never admit it although he and I both know it's true.

4. He probably watched Rainman and thought "You idiot there's 247 toothpicks on the floor"

5. I think he has regretted all the red X's he has ever given me. Which I find comforting.

Anyway, obviously a straight shooter who regrets red Xing my posts.

You could think of @QuantumMechanic as the forum’s quiz grader.

That this dude with no apparent relevant qualifications could write, essentially, a blog post and have it shared far and wide across the right-wing echo chamber (including by so called “straight news” anchors on Fox News) is just a *chef’s kiss* moment for where this country is in 2020.

The same thing happens on the political left. So what's your point?

 

[JackBauer]

Why do you feel the need to insult those who disagree with you? It's not a great way to change minds.

I didn’t insult anyone, and you assume the existence of a mind (or minds) that are capable and/or willing to be changed.

Oh, the irony.

Only seven countries in the world have more cases than New York now by itself.

Have you ever heard donny speak?

You know what a trumper means and no you're not a trumper.

I mean I voted for him and likely will again. But whatever a trumper is, I would not consider myself one

Sorry, can’t bothsides your way out of this one.

 

[JackBauer]

Uhh, okay. Thanks for chiming in.

That's not the point. Eventually he will not be the president, but the affliction will still persist.

Man, the chef’s kiss moments are really flying fast and furious these days.

I don't have to, nor was I aiming to. I'm demonstrating how full of bias people such as yourself happen to be, and showing just why this thread is largely of no use. People like you make your own political takes useless.

You could simply have acknowledged that something like

"That this dude with no apparent relevant qualifications could write, essentially, a blog post and have it shared far and wide across the left-wing echo chamber (including by so called “straight news” anchors on MSNBC/CNN/fill in any number of news stations News) is just a *chef’s kiss* moment for where this country is in 2020."

would be just as appropriate. Instead, you went for the idiotic defensive posture. And you know that I generally like you as a poster, so don't go down any of those roads.

No, I simply disagreed in advance since it obvious what road you were going to try and steer this down. Much easier to agree to disagree and move on.

Brutal and enraging article. But I’m sure the usual crowd will be all about excuses for Mr. I Won’t Take Responsibility.

The world was screwed when China allowed 5 million people to flee Wuhan before instituting any quarantines what so ever.

Wow what an argument!

 

[JackBauer]

Wow what an argument!

What is there to argue, really?

You evidently don’t know what a Trumper is, but you know you aren’t one, and while you voted for him last time and likely will again, you’re actually chiding other people for being “divisive.”

i vote for the candidate I agree more on policy with. Doesn’t make me a supporter. Or a “trumper”

But hey. **** alternative explanations right. It’s your way or the highway

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Let’s not cross that “with us or against us” line. @fightingirish595 has been in this thread the whole time and hasn’t been biased or a political idiot.

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. I simply stated that I have a hard time treating Trumper lamentations about civility and tone with the seriousness they deserve. That’s all!
