Re: Science etc.

admit it, Arth! You're curious how they manage her being married! You mean you're wondering how they have sex, right? Don't beat around the bush. It's certainly something I've wondered about. Not like, fixated on it, and certainly not fantasized about it, but it is something I have wondered about.

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

I think it's because not all students want to be part of athletic competition, and girls are less likely to want to be part of athletics than boys. Obviously, but why? It's not like girls can't be good at physical activity. What's discouraging them? Ah....the nature or nurture question. Are the dif...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Apparently, the "real problem" is that boys' sports get more money than girls' sports. That is certainly a real problem, yes. But is it the real problem? Exactly. Very frequently, "real problem" stories are variations on, "Let's ignore whatever it is that those people care ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Yeah, I've never understood the appeal of shooting stuff. I understand the appeal of shooting stuff. I positively enjoy it with arrows, and I think I would enjoy it with guns if it were easier. Gun ranges are too expensive for my tastes. Target sports are cool. What I don't understand is why we all...

Re: Planet America

The only Bible endorsed by Trump, $59.99. https://godblesstheusabible.com/?sld=trump think it's real? because it sounds like the idiot's bible. How can it be slim, as claimed, and large print, easy to read unless they edited out a lot or used super thin paper? Thin paper would nullify the easy to r...

Re: ISF Dead...

The caption of the video holds the key. (Not that it's necessary, because I had only heard audio before.) His "bloodbath" comment came in the middle of talking about the auto industry, That's right. Because he was talking about the auto industry, specifically the effect that imports from C...

Re: ISF Dead...

Turns out, Trump's words about a blood bath were taken out of context. He was referring to the auto industry. (Disclaimer: I can't stomach Trump.) That kerfuffle really pissed me off. I didn't read the stories beyond the headlines about Trump's "bloodbath" quote. I just figured it was yet...

The Second Amendment Dealt A Heavy Blow By New Court Decision "Heavy blow"? Falls into the "very, very important thing happened, but hardly anyone noticed except us. Click to find out something very important." I wonder what it is. District judge says you can't have machine guns?...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

I read a lot of news, and I have no doubt MSN is the worst of all of them. Agreed. I have them on my home page, but I barely count it as news. They seem to deliberately choose "outrage" topics, and miscellaneous other clickbait. Of course, that's what they intend. If I read reputable sour...
