  1. A girl against voter ID said that to vote it ought to be enough to be a resident of the US. But even if were so, ID would still be needed to prove US residence. At one time college students were actually pretty bright. Not anymore.

  2. Thanks to that data, Skynet has geolocated you.

  3. Likewise. See you there.😄

  4. Yeah, he says it both ways. How can a guy like that be a good doctor? Internists are not well respected, btw, even though GIM requires vast knowledge. Also, he mentioned a study of 6.5m pot-using Danes, but Denmark's total population is only 5.5m. Come on. That's awful. EDIT: But his claim about serious risks is valid.

  5. Parents are sending their children to universities where they learn the opposite of the truth for $80,000 a year. This video was free.

  6. I wrote a post on a news site when the govt. announced it was downgrading the illegality of cannabis. I said that cannabis use led to a lot of psychotic illness including schizophrenia. I said this was a serious problem and worth bearing in mind. Nearly every reply was hostile, claimed I knew nothing, was lying, was "repeating conservative talking points," etc.

  7. Yeah, if you go back and listen, he says that of mentally healthy people who had a psychotic incident on marijuana, one in four developed schizophrenia. Then he radically re-phrased it. He's sloppy. He mentioned a study of 6.5m pot-using Danes, but Denmark's total population is only 5.5m. Come on.

  8. Norm Macdonald, ca. 2013 [when his podcast guest Stephen Merchant (co-creator/co-star of the original The Office series) expressed bafflement about the meaning of "cisgender"]: "It's a way of marginalizing a normal person."

  9. Please. A huge fraction are people who first, either (1) used drugs so heavily that they became unemployed and unemployable or (2) became unemployed, then started using drugs so heavily that they became unemployable; then they lost their place to live due to not paying rent.

  10.  @loominardy  The marvellous channel After Skool recently made a 15-minute video which you should see, Why Smart People Believe Stupid Things. It's about you, because you're obviously smart and obviously believe stupid things. Don't worry, though. If you prefer, instead of learning anything from it that could help you, you can instead use what you learn from it to attack other people endlessly. You can't lose, so watch it.

  11.  @loominardy  Having read your replies it's now clear to me that you are not, as I thought initially, a smart person who believes stupid things. I withdraw that assertion unreservedly.

  12. I didn't realize we can only talk about one thing. Thanks for that mind-blowing news.

  13. Quite an ironic name—Mark Fitzpatrick—considering the nature of the story.😂 ("Oh he does, does he? That's so nice. And does Patrick fit Mark?")

  14.  @100percentSNAFU  👍Hahaha. My OPs are usually a long scroll down. Surprised anyone came across it at this point.

  15. It's important to realize that passing issues like legal troubles rarely result in long-term homelessness. Absent chronic mental illness and drug addiction, such problems are handled by the person on his or her own, often with the help of family or friends, after a period of weeks or months, not years. That's what homelessness was like before the twin disasters of (1) the emptying of the mental hospitals in the 1970s and 80s and (2) crack addiction becoming widespread in the later 1980s. By comparison to today it was not a major social problem at all. So in summary, pointing to addiction and mental health as underlying the great majority of the problem is not bull.

  16. There are also more empty jobs than homeless people.

  17.  @B.Whittaker  Who said he "doesn't give a shit about everyone else in poverty"? The mark of a liberal or progressive is lazy-mindedness. Lazy everything, actually. It shows laziness how they point fingers at other people (oh-so-easy) instead of being better themselves (requires a lot of effort). They're good at adopting a posture to seem good and secure approval rather than being good. The word for this is sanctimony.

  18.  @whonen6041  What's right about an unplanned and undesired conversion to being an introvert?

  19. I experienced cognitive dissonance because I couldn't accept that a Yale student would know who he was and still want to shake his hand. I might as well have been looking at a person walking on the ceiling.
