Trump: makes incorrect claim

Moderator: Actually there is no evidence that happened

Trump: well I saw it on TV! Someone said it on TV! Someone wouldn't just go and say something on TV if it wasn't true!

Shouldn't the president of the country have a bit of higher standard of evidence than "I saw someone say it on TV"?

I've always liked it. I guess it depends who is saying it because when my old boss said it, it meant more like, "this is the situation we're in, let's not waste time arguing about why it is the situation and let's just focus on dealing with it and going forward"

50 bucks says they didn't listen to a word you said and are still complaining about it, just in online echo chambers instead of to you

People say cars give you freedom and while in a lot of places that you can't get anywhere without one by design that may be true, being able to get around under your own power has always felt like freedom to me.

Yup, that's the problem. If you run 5 miles you burn about 500 calories. Hardly enough to make up for even the fries in the meal. A lot of people overestimate calories burnt and underestimate calories consumed.

A bit of exercise every day is good for your heart, lungs, circulatory system etc. but it won't make up to overcome an otherwise sedentary lifestyle if you don't change your diet.

I'd rather more people rewarded the news site for it then rewarding twitter by going there directly

Their third mistake is thinking any corporation will be held accountable

Sometimes you need time to think up the perfect comeback. For example, "The Jerk Store called, they're running out of you!"

Pure gold takes time to form.

The other name for the boomer generation is the "me" generation. because after the depression their parents had money again and gave them everything they wanted creating a generation of incredibly selfish people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_generation

Maybe. But the fact is that it was used by people in uprisings. It is a powerful tool for the people. There is a reason why wealthy people from the middle east backed and funded musk taking it over. They wanted to take away a tool used by the people in revolution.

It probably contributed to a lot of stupidity and human suffering, but it also could have been used to great effect if us common folk could have learned to wield it appropriately. The rich and powerful were afraid of it, that alone should tell you that it's death is a bad thing.
