Ignoring the obvious flaw of throwing out the importance of infinity here, they would be exceedingly unlikely but technically not unable. A random occurrence is just as likely to happen on try number 1 as it is on try number 10 billion. It doesn’t become any more or less likely as iterations occur. This is an all too common failure of understanding how probabilities work.

True, it’s not exactly like they care about real proof.

While this is a shit move by whoever is doing this, it makes virtually no difference for the presidential election. WA electoral votes are winner-takes-all, and always go Dem. A few burned boxes won’t come close in making a difference for president, Biden won by almost a million votes in the last one. It will probably have a decent effect on local elections though.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if there was a political bias between people who are and aren’t willing to answer phone calls and participate in polls.

A hotdog is a taco.

Go Thorium MSR and bury it underground and you don’t really have to worry about it. Might need some modification for moon gravity but otherwise seems like the best bet.

Kinda funny to call out a logical fallacy and then immediately commit an ad hominem (whataboutism) fallacy. Your argument does not change the fact that this is happening and that we aren’t doing everything we can to prevent it. No one involved in this issue is ignoring that China and India are part of the problem, there’s just nothing we can do short of war or economic pressures. War is out of the question because no one would survive to fix the planet anyway, so economic pressure it is, which would once again require us to do something.

The Hippocratic Oath is not a legally binding oath, and many doctors are not required to take this oath or any oath for that matter. Basically, at the end of the day, oaths only matter to the people who have the strength of character to hold to them no matter the cost and most people do not have that strength of character. Oaths mean nothing to those people when it comes down to it, it’s just a thing that you said once, nothing more.

I wouldn’t call it ironic. You claimed that US military training causes permanent irreversible brain damage and referenced concussions as the cause. This is just has no hard evidence to back it up. And your comment here states something that was not your original claim and has not actually been studied and peer reviewed on anything except for a few studies on mice, where those studies indicate that it’s hard to equivocate these outcomes to humans for a number of reasons. I’m not claiming that exposure to sub-concussive blasts isn’t dangerous or injuring peoples brains, it probably is but I don’t know for sure whether it does or not since it’s not actually proven. Just stating, once again, that training is not responsible for actual concussions except in rare circumstances like accidental injury, almost all of these injuries occur in actual combat. Further, a majority of US service members are never even exposed to sub-concussive blasts, so there is only a small subset which your claim would even apply to in the first place.

I’m not trying to tear down your comments or defend the US military’s practices, I just don’t think making these types of claims without legitimate proof is useful or appropriate. If I’ve missed something that proves everything I’ve said wrong I’m perfectly happy to be corrected.

I’m not sure where you’re getting this idea from but concussions are probably one of the plethora of shitty things that you actually aren’t exposed to during training. Concussions and TBI are common because of close contact with explosives in combat zones mostly, not in training.

Of course I’m not defending the military and their practices, I was in the Marine Corps myself, this bit is just not true though.

I love how we’re all so stuck up our own asses that people actually think it makes sense to hamper any sort of attempt at progress because it’s not perfect. This is the same exact shit as single issues voters in the Republican party over guns or anti-abortion. So focused on one thing that they can’t even understand they’re hurting themselves.

Maybe this isn’t you exactly, but it’s what your comments rhetoric represents.
