Sigh, the settlement won't cover much of the rebuild, which is supposedly estimated to be around 1.9 billon, nearly 2 billion.

We need both, can't discard logos entirely, but not can we throw out pathos. As for ethos... Well with the country in such a state of distrust caused by a mix of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, and ethical stances being so polarized, trying to use ethos for much of anything right now, although still useful, may be counterproductive with certain people who may distrust such an angle.

I think it wouldn't be bad to have the Russian devs back once the war is over, bar any other circumstances.

Time for faraday cage phone covers/bags to become popular in these states.

BUT Imagine if it was open sourced. God, Gods, by the nine, would be heaven.

Tbh, sounds like child labor to me even if it was "legal". Like school credit for hours on a construction job wtf? Like I thought maybe he was some how doing a metal working/machinist class and somehow got fucked up by a lathe or something, but Jesus fucking Christ, what are you gonna learn doing construction work?

I'm guessing the claims of cannabis potentially giving some people cancer, come from the estimated population of cannabis smokers, which is probably going to be lower than the current population of tobacco smokers, and then finding out how many people died from smoking(ignition based delivery systems that are basically what's to blame for cancer), and then just extrapolating from those two points that there's probably gonna be some extremely regular smokers of cannabis who've gotten cancer. Of course cannabis being WAY less addictive than nicotine means that the average cannabis smoker in general is still unlikely to develop cancer when compared to the average tobacco smoker, but the very exposure to smoke just increases your chance of developinng cancer anyways when compared to somebody who doesn't smoke anything.

Like I think it's just common sense. The other guy may have made a more specific point that is wrong though, idk, I just skimmed the convo

I'm guessing it's all estimated numbers from statistics. Personally, I'll always recommend dry herb vapes or just getting regular THC vapes from more reputable brands, or shit make your own vape liquid if you think you can do it on your own(although I hear this way can be risky).

Hey man, I like cannabis too, but it is true that ignition based delivery systems(smoking) I think just generally cause cancer.

Ehh that's fair. I guess I'm so used to the use of clarification questions(often ones that are asked in the most infuriating way possible) as a lead up to and reframing of a conversation into an area that it didn't originally start as, that I thought such actions that you took as equivalent to strawmanning.

He said that shrooms are safer. You thought the argument he made was that shrooms use would lead to a decrease in cocaine and heroin use. They aren't the same argument.

A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.

Nah pizzagate has an even stupider but simpler explanation. Qanon folk thought that pedophiles were using the term Cheese Pizza or CP as a code for Child Prono.
