If you read the article, 9% are undecided.

Only 6% were for it.

What value is there you knowing my expression of ARHGAP1? What about TP53BP1?

Yeah, or someone will die because lab result baselines that are dependent on sex get fucked up.

Politics need to stay the fuck out of medicine. Having people try and do a political dance around lab science is a recipe for disaster.

He wasn’t moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, signalling in no uncertain terms his personal position.

I think a lot of people really misunderstood the no-lose scenario Trump engineered wrt Israel.

He got to call him Genocide Joe, while hammering on the debates saying, and I quote that Harris and Joe HATE Israel.

I have absolutely no doubt that both Russia and Israel timed their respective beligerences to try to politically hog-tie Biden knowing Trump could hammer him and once he was in give them both carte blanche.

Like, I have many many issues with how Biden specifically didn’t do the right things in the middle east, but he was attempting to thread a political needle to not hand Trump the ammunition he needed to get re-elected. In retrospect, and I’m sure Joe would agree, that given the reality that Trump was getting the big seat again, he should have just said “fuck it” and done the morally correct things.

And things, now, are going to get so much worse. Trump’s teams position is that it’s acceptable for Israel to just take and settle everything that the Palestinians had. There no longer is an alternative view that involves coexistence from the US government.

Specifically wrt to the middle east, there was a bad option and a worse option. Had Harris won, the political realities could have allowed the expenditure of political capital to do the right (or at least righter) thing. Trump won’t even consider it.

Yes it is, and saying it isn’t is normalizing a terrifying thing.

The crux of your argument is that someone isn’t lying is nobody believes them. Ergo, Donald Trump isn’t a liar.

This is the EXACT fucking playbook you see in Russia and North Korea. The way you are thinking right now is SPECIFICALLY how dictators WANT you to think. It excuses lies and paves the way to the concept of there being no such thing as objective truth because everyone is lying anyways, but they’re not even lies because you were never going to believe it anyways. You’ll just exhaustedly shrug and choose a dissonance that’s a lower energy mental state.

That’s irrelevant. When he says “I believe X”, he is professing that he believes something. Just because we know he’s lying doesn’t mean he isn’t saying it.

That kinda logic scares the hell out of me, btw. People are just so numb to it that it’s like their brains are short circuiting.

So what you’re saying is he professes to have beliefs which he doesn’t actually have?

Would be nice if open-source aggregators like Lemmy allowed users to “Subscribe” to community developed algorithms.

I’d love to (attempt) to build an “ethical” algorithm for content sorting, have it be open-source, and be able to have clients use it without having to actually modify the client itself.
