  Oooo, I missed this one, tho it's kinda useless.

  pointing to the reproducibility crisis doesn’t work

  Yes, it really does, actually.

  also applies to physics and literally every field of science right now

  This is the second or third time you've said this and it's literally not true, at all. Firstly if it was true of all science the way it's true of sociology the proper response would be to just ignore all science, it's useless. For the other disciplines it varies wildly, but it's way less in the hard sciences. In physics, errors happen but it's miniscule compared to almost anything else. The crisis in particle physics is really that we haven't hit "new physics" in a very long time, everything lines up too well, which is bad cuz fundamentally we know something is off with the standard model (it doesn't include gravity). It actually would have been much more exciting had we NOT detected the Higgs. Ditto gravity waves.

  No, I don't think it is. First of all, my goal is not to talk pandemic policy with lunatics who think they get to tell you to wear a mask, but also if you didn't know immediately what I was talking about you're being ignorant on purpose anyway.

  He’s got a JD from Harvard Law. Are you saying he’s stupid, or something?

  I'm actually saying it's dumb for you and MM to pretend this is somehow something he should've known about.

  You're up here with the hot takes. Bro, you voted for someone with demonstrable Alzheimer's.

  The only actual crime he's accused of is federal, the classified info, (but both Biden and Clinton did much worse) so yes, of course.

  It’s telling your source is DeSantis and not facts.

  You moron, actual porn, pulled from grade school libraries. That is a fact.

  That's very messy, I'm more a blunt force trauma kinda guy. If you want to call literally ignoring the case law and completely fucking up the actual chain of events, sure, you "kicked my ass". So which is worse, compelling speech or forcing kids to read the porn? Answer surprisingly, is the first one, as the second isn't against the constitution, but I'd say both are pretty fucking bad.

  The source was DeSantis, recording on live TV. It was also all over the news. Twitter is a good repository cuz, well, twitter allows porn. Most live TV programs cut the feed. Not only was that ad hominem, it was extremely dumb and uninformed ad hominem. It didn't even make sense. https://www.newsweek.com/florida-tv-cuts-feed-ron-desantis-shows-explicit-content-books-1786589

  If porn is the justification then it has already failed, cause a lot of non-porn books have been hit by this law with no way to fix or appeal it.

  Literally incorrect. Someone has lied to you. (probably a librarian with a pussy hat) The rest of it was all wrong too but I don't feel obliged to say so line by line. Literally none of that is true.

  You actual moron, there's video. https://twitter.com/tarynfenske/status/1633499837659516928?s=20 DeSantis had to show that stuff, on video, because of dumbasses like you pretending that it wasn't happening, it was all just cute adoptive penguin daddies. No, it fucking wasn't.

  He literally showed the porn. The porn the librarians had on the shelves. In grade school libraries. You don't get to say "I'm an expert and you can't question me" that's not how it works. The librarians work for the government. The government is subject to voters. Voters have morals. Morals that in most cases says "no porn for 8 year olds." He showed the porn on live video because of dumbasses like you were pretending it wasn't happening.

  I didn't say you're a pedophile. I said your options were that or lying.
