An assumption of 99% false sightings is not a statistic. Statistics are analyses of measured data, not assumptions. To know the actual percentage of true sightings, you’d first have to confirm that some sightings are actually true, which would require some actual evidence of ghosts/aliens.
Consider the inverse for a moment: if ghosts/aliens don’t actually exist, then the percentage of false sightings must be 100%, not 99.9%. As long as you start with the assumption that there are some true sightings, you’re just starting with the assumption that ghosts/aliens are real.
Not even. He officially left the Dems and registered as independent earlier this year.
Notice also how their go-to response is to talk about their right to vote for third-party candidates, which is a strawman of the criticism they typically receive. They can’t and don’t engage the actual substance of criticism, which is that voting third-party under our first-past-the-post system is a bad plan that has a proven track record of accomplishing absolutely nothing.
The first movie I remember seeing in theaters was the Special Edition of A New Hope.
I loved Episodes I & II as a kid, but by the time Episode III rolled around I had developed enough appreciation for good screenwriting that I left the theater mildly disappointed.
Her motivations aren’t even as noble as that. The article goes on to describe how she’s actually just trying to undercut a proposed constitutional amendment:
But Ms. Bolick also railed against Planned Parenthood and Democratic support for abortion rights. She argued that her vote to repeal the 1864 ban could be Arizona’s best shot at curbing the momentum behind a proposed ballot measure to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.
Insulting someone via stereotype doesn’t show that they’re wrong. You’ve added less to the discussion than the person you’re attempting to mock.
No, a conspiracy is when people get together and conspire, i.e. they develop a secret plan of action for nefarious purposes. In the strictest sense, the term “conspiracy theory” just means that you’re theorizing that some people have secretly planned to do something. If you theorize that some wrongdoers have developed or enacted a secret plan, and it later turns out your suspicion was correct, then by definition you had a true conspiracy theory.
Glad you live and work in a place where biking is a viable option, but it’s the complete opposite for me. It takes me 20 minutes to drive to work on a route that would take three hours by bike just because of the sheer distance, and there simply are no bus routes out to where I live. Not saying we should stop advocating for better mass transit and bike-friendly urban planning, but just bear in mind your situation is not representative of everyone else’s.

9.8m/s^2 isn’t a speed. It’s a rate of acceleration; it tells you how fast your speed is changing. The minimum speed an object can impact the planet is equal to “escape velocity”—the speed you’d need to launch an object from the surface so it escapes the Earth’s gravity permanently. In the Earth’s case, that speed is about 40,000 km/hr or 25,000 mph.
