JungleGymSam··on A Chart Climate Denialists Can't Ignore
That better reflects the scientists paid by a government to carry out an agenda like scary "climate change".

No one "denies climate". That's stupid.

JungleGymSam··on A Chart Climate Denialists Can't Ignore
No one "denies climate". Stop being ridiculous. What people deny, because there's no evidence, is human-caused catastrophic global warming.

Funny that it used to be called global cooling. Then it became global warming. And now, surprise surprise, it's just "Climate Change".

> Surely, no one will deny the climate?!

JungleGymSam··on Infection fatality rate of Covid-19 inferred from seroprevalence data [pdf]
That's not happening anymore. Time to be adults, instead of terrified children, and find alternatives to lockdowns and mask-shaming with the occasional assault, and arrests from local governments.

JungleGymSam··on Trump gives Microsoft 45 days to clinch TikTok deal
Because China is a big threat to our future security and economy and there are ongoing and historical issues that have never been addressed? They are a human rights nightmare?

Why do people side with China so easily?

JungleGymSam··on Thomas Sowell interview
Everything you've said has demonstrated that you're _choosing_ not to understand, or agree with, his arguments rather than disagreeing with them through counter arguments and evidence.

Your very next sentence goes on to disprove that.

They could have also refrained from protesting and rioting over a demonstrably false narrative of death-by-police.

I don't share your admiration for "the top".

JungleGymSam··on Why Isn't California Criticized Like Florida on Covid-19?
Democract v. Republican governor. Duh.
JungleGymSam··on Facebook boycott leaders ‘disappointed’ after meeting with Zuckerberg, Sandberg
This is SJW right-speak: vague words that can mean anything to anyone interpreting them at the time.

There are no hard and fast rules because the language doesn't allow for it. It's always shifting and getting hard to comply with as more and more radical people gain a foothold in culture. Each new person decides the previous one didn't have enough control and _therefore_ more control is needed because _obviously_ the previous generation was evil.

It's so lame (and dangerous to all people too).

Then the problem is the truck driver is driving too much. He should drive less.
JungleGymSam··on Vote by Mail: Ballot Fraud Risk, State Laws and Trump's Claims
I don't believe the concept of "voting by mail" is at question. It's the method of getting the ballots into individuals' hands. Sounds like you're referring to absentee ballots where someone registers in advanced for an absentee ballot and has it sent to them. _I believe_, in this case, vote by mail ballots are sent to currently registered voters by default. That means there are a flood of official ballots, meant for an individual, that are sitting in mailboxes, being sent to deceased people or people that have moved districts, etc. Those ballots can be filled in by someone else and can be intercepted to prevent counting.

That's how I understand the situation to be.

JungleGymSam··on I'm resigning from my job at Facebook

JungleGymSam··on The Day My Coworkers and I Chose Our Survival over Our Supervisor
This guy has a decent overall point but you know he's a prick when he implies being able to acquire a big flag quickly means ignoring the need for acquiring masks.

Does he know the persons tasked with acquiring those things? Does he know that getting the flag delayed getting the masks? What if multiple people were tasked separately and the flag simply easy to get?

Then he goes on to assert that governors and CEOs are opening up too quickly: "before it's safe". Get over it, people. It's time to go back to work. It can and is being done well.

I don't understand this desire by many people to be remain in panic mode. Is it comforting or something? How bizarre...

JungleGymSam··on Gnome removed solid-color backgrounds based on what developer's friends use
> Rather than creating some drama or calling out a GNOME developer, why not see if you can implement the feature?

That's not how it works anymore. If you don't give me the free thing in exactly the way _I_ want it, you are oppressing me and you should be destroyed.
