It's not even a negative question really. It boils down to "what do you say to the people who disagree with what your are doing/planning on doing?"

Oooooh the horror of confronting the very idea of people disagreeing with you. What a nasty question.

Studies have consistently shown that atheists/agnostics are also as knowledgeable or more knowledgeable about world religions and even Christianity than Christians themselves, especially in the USA.

Not OP and certainly IANAL but as far as I know there is NO law that forbids the use of masks for ICE agents. However, hiding their ID or refusing to identify themselves during detention or arrests IS illegal. However, the law states they have to show ID/identify themselves “as soon as practical and safe to do so," so they could theoretically just say they thought they'd be in danger by showing ID as flimsy of an excuse as that sounds.

However, it is rather hilarious that they are pretty much all wearing masks while the political party parading them around is currently on a very real rampage to stop pretty much anyone in public from wearing masks for any type of public demonstration or event.

It's theatre. Plain and simple. They just want the spectacle of unruly violent riots and the whether that happens or not, they will make it look like it happened. Nothing makes a protest look like a warzone like the literal military being there.

Totally agree. It's super important that we remember that people, all of us, are kind of stupid and when we hear things repeated we remember them. None of us are immune to propaganda.

Repeating something simple, and false, that appeals to emotions is going to have a bigger impact than something longer and complicated.

I have absolutely no idea why but this is the first thing that came to mind

This is exactly what some of the biggest manufacturers of cars in America are thinking of doing. They manufacture in America but a lot of the parts are imported and would cost them a fortune to import. It's cheaper to move factories to China, build the full part, and then ship it over because the tarrifs are higher on the individual tech parts inside the assembly than a finished product using those parts.

Completely agree. There are some things ai clearly struggles very hard with but the rate at which it is improving in just about every single facet is insane. I mean just take a look at this, this was unimaginable like literally months ago. That thing is 100% ai generated. Sound, visuals, script... everything is made from a prompt in a few minutes. And we're still basically just at the infant stage. Just imagine what the hell these things will be doing in 20 or 50 or 100 years.

That was my first thought too. I guess they mean like bigger as in impactful or more serious?

Yesn't

I mean this is categorically false. The gold medal winner for the women's marathon at the last Olympics had a lower time than the average finisher on the men's side. 10th place in the men's marathon would have won gold in women's by over 15 minutes. Even on a pretty basic level, an 18 year old woman has the same qualifying time as a 60 year old man for the Boston Marathon.

The only time I've seen women compete are when the length of the races get massive. I'm talking like ultra marathons or the moab 240 or something. It is possible to see women legitimately compete with men and even win there but it's still pretty rare (look up Courtney Dauwalter if you want to see something really impressive). It is very interesting to watch the gap close as the length of the races increases tho.

Lol the country has gone through two wars based around revolting... It can and will happen. Definitely not with this tho... You need people pissed off. Right now, we have some people pissed while a whooole lot of other people are not only happy with what's happening, but in a state of pure ecstasy.
