If you buy a new electric car, you’d have to drive it 150,000 km to offset the amount of carbon used to make it. That’s not taking into account where the electricity comes from to charge it.
Just a fun bit of info there.
Buying a second hand truck is more environmentally friendly than buying a new electric.
I mean a huge amount of vaccines tend to have some immediate side effects like this, so that’s not something I’d be particularly worried about. I’m far more interested in what the situation is after 12 months than the first 12 hours.
You’re falling for their straw man. Who the fuck here is a ‘right wing authoritarian’? Last time I checked “leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone” isn’t a particularly authoritarian take. This is just Reddit circle jerking themselves while pretending they’re smart because the title says “studies show”.
Underestimating your enemy, especially when they’re taking advantage of your weaknesses, doesn’t seem like a good idea.
Western militaries are concerned with their soldiers being too nationalistic and patriotic. Do you think China has that problem?
I wonder if it would have been “sexist” if they’d decided their boys were too manly, and were training them to be more feminine. I imagine the headline would go something like ‘China adopts progressive education system to tackle toxic masculinity’.
Debates are for intellectuals, who are at the cutting edge of thinking, and genuinely trying to figure out problems in new ways. There aren’t very many of those people. I’m not one of them. Chances are, neither is anyone else reading this. Yes, I’m gatekeeping. When nobody gate keeps, you get retards at the party, flipping tables and shitting on the floor.
Andrew is absolutely right to use the word ‘cringe’. Watching ‘debates’ between some fucking moronic YouTuber and some fucking retarded Twitch streamer is like watching two skinny faggots at the local YMCA gym figure out who’s best at fighting: its fucking meaningless. Congratulations, YouTube debate winner, you’re king of the average IQ, college dropout, special needs debate team.
Gad is a scholar and a gentleman and you should all buy his new book. He’s one of the sane intellectuals who’s somehow flown under the radar more so than guys like Peterson and the Weinstein brothers, but he’s really worth listening to.
