lol true, to be fair I think after I called him out on it he did seem to take a lot of the well-poisoning out of his posts so I give him props for that.

I just think that for the most part, Republicans don’t actually distrust doctors. They just distrust doctors that don’t agree with them. Ironically, they’re the ones that are more likely to do the genetic fallacy/appeal to authority in a fallacious way. Look at that rando guy who did some research back in the 90s Robert Malone.

Yeah I said something to this effect earlier. The very same people preaching distrust of experts when they dislike their conclusions will be the first to unquestioningly accept judgements of experts whose conclusions they agree with. Even when those "experts" are "conspiracy guy with blog" or "lady who says twin towers were turned to dust by space lasers" in some cases.

I would consider doing so if I were presented with evidence demonstrating it. You might be surprised to learn that your personal anecdotes are not sufficient for that task.

But I certainly hope not.

Look I am obviously exaggerating. Most doctors are moderately smart.

Have no idea how accurate that is but it seems right.

But it also seems right that that Harvard doctor was accurate when he said that most doctors are about as good as the better registered nurses.

On the other hand, the better registered nurses are NOT CHOPPED LIVER. They have saved millions of lives and killed only a tiny fraction of that number. They are also very studious, diligent, kind, and are good memorizers.

The problem is that they rely on rules and algorithms even in cases where there is some reason to doubt them. The smartest doctors are more likely to suspect exceptions. And the smartest people in other fields who are aedpt at recognizing possible exceptions who then go on to learn the details of a particular issue, have a good chance of being right when they disagree with the doctor/better registered nurse, type.

Meanwhile who will be the first to answer my ukemaster question?

I’m sorry that is the reality where you live .
It’s not that bad here shrug .
But hey u complain too many people Works for the government…. Then u complain not enough accessibility?
U have to chose which one u care more right ?

so you got more cash in your pockets for lack of services , u should be happy !
Just go in us with that extra cash and see how it goes for healthcare ?

Where is here and where is there?

Would you agree that cognitive decline is even more troubling if the presidential candidate in question was deeply narcissistic, unprincipled, and self-absorbed before the cognitive decline set in?

doesn't this apply to all presidential candidates?

It goes without saying, empiricism doesn’t apply to figuring out the origin of gender.

Why not though? We know that there are areas of the brain that control language processing, language production, and whole hosts of other processes.

Where is the gender center? Why don't people suffer traumatic brain injuries and have their gender confused like they can with speech?

Health Care sucks in Canada . People are dying in Emergency rooms as they can't see a doctor. Good luck getting a family doctor as well your on 5-7 year waiting lists. Many provinces like BC are shipping patients to the USA to get cancer care

You are a rarity in Canada

Sorry to hear this.

My friend just died and she was from Montreal.

Maybe that's why. 5-7 years these people don't get family doctor?

Whats a family doctor? A go to doctor all the time?

We're pretty much at the point where anyone with enough money can become an astronaut.

A bit like when you take your fat ass to Magaluf on Ryanair for your annual week of boozing and ogling girls you could never get at the beach, you become a pilot.

Speaking of the total business genius, Leon hath now decreed that if you block someone on X formerly known as Twitter they can still view your profile and posts

Leon really is an incel who made it

it's practical, people were just logging out or switching to an alt account to view - it wasn't stopping anything, just causing account spam


Homeless yeah homeless... people. What's up with homeless people?

As a matter of fact nobody knows how many homeless there are

Do you understand this? So I can make up any number I want.

All we can do is guess anyways..

It could be 190M American people in a America which includes South America btw and then the number could even be higher. The numbers are increasing certainly.

I got told by KS to clarify my post which I'm doing here now.

Whats up with that?

And these homeless people are doing voter fraud too, right?

lol you are literally admitting you are just making stuff up. we could never have any real conversations if we followed your logic, it would just be people making stuff up and people believing this based on their feelings. I mean that is kinda what’s happening anyway but it’s not a good thing.

Not in equal measure.

Tell me what's the number of homeless in the USA right now?

Take a guess. I already told you there are no reliable numbers.

What u want me to do!? Not make up numbers?? Lol

i think a big reason for my relative indifference to the buffoon is i think the others are just as bad as him but actually care about obscuring that whereas trump lays it all out there in the open


They 're guessing 3.5 M homeless children in 2014 btw

And tahts just a a guess. The real number is probably 10-100 times higher.

Are you on a mission to remind us daily that "both sides same"?

Have no idea how accurate that is but it seems right.

This website says that the average doctor has an IQ of 120-130 and the average MIT student has an IQ of 105. I'm guessing you don't agree with the MIT number.


105? What a bunch of dumbasses!

Does it have stats for the average 2+2 P&S poster? I'm pretty sure if we cut a little bit (well, a lot) of dead wood, we'd at least beat out MIT.

We don't know the true number of homeless bc it's a stigma btw.

All We know is that NY homeless shelters are seeing increasing numbers, ie

Numbers Doubled from a couple years ago.

Still learning how this whole "forum" malarkey works, huh?

I don’t think it’s physics. It’s just residential plumbing is basic. I know how my house is plumbed, any problem with my house I could fix with the proper equipment. I’m only calling a plumber because I don’t want to do it myself or buy specialized equipment. If i owned a 50 story commercial building I’d be much more inclined to hire a good commercial plumbing company and just expect them to fix it rather than looking at schematics etc.

A car is a better example probably because plumbing for a t

Yeah. It sounds like you are just handy and inclined to do your own basic repairs, which is cool. But you probably know some very smart people who you wouldn't trust to change a bicycle tire. I know I do.
