Because it should be considered free speech (i know, this is Dubai)…unless you physically cause a scene you shouldn’t be arrested. Dubai is nuts, and this whole thing is nutters.
The guy is a dick, but a 10,000 dollar fine for being mean to someone? Come man, this isn’t pre-school.
When do we get the thought police?
That’s a bit much dude, mathematicians gave us complex numbers. You can’t hate too much on the ones who invented our jobs 🤣
Yeah, I agree. They messed up the scheme we had going. It was a good thing, and electrical engineers had to come and be all different, confusing everyone else along the way.
That doesn’t make the scientific method wrong. If someone isn’t following the scientific method, that’s on them, not the science.
Yeah, I’d second this. The scientific method is very thorough.
Telling a personal anecdote about your great grandfather who was an active duty military officer isn’t illustrating the point you think it is.
Yeah, and it turned out the majority of the population didn’t even know about the concentration camps.
Where did I lie? Do you think I sit around reading research papers all day, or that I just read articles about it for the most part, the same way you do? I’ve looked up research on these subjects, and frankly, most of them are behind paywalls, bcz journals don’t allow people to access them without a subscription, or an affiliation with a university. So, no, I most just read paper abstracts bcz I’m not a climate scientist. That doesn’t mean I’m lying when I sat I’ve seen a lot of research on the topic. In any case, this is getting dumb. Have a nice weekend, thanks for wasting both of our time.
Just because propaganda is effective doesn’t mean you should dehumanize them. They’re people just like you and me. Hell, after 9/11, I’m pretty sure like 80% of the U.S. supported invading Iraq… just depends on where you are, and what information you are being fed.
This is the internet. I’m pretty much free to do what I want short of violating the rules of this website.
Yeah, that’s about the response I expected. Have fun being racist dickhead. I hope you don’t live anywhere close to me.
This is a super racist take on immigration. People want to feel like their culture they came from isn’t gone. And that’s very understandable, and not a problem even. Just wanted to let you know, you probably don’t think you’re racist, because nobody wants to think of themselves as racist. But you’ve got some implicit biases you might want to turn inward and look at very seriously. Or you can just ignore me, what the hell do I care, I’m just a random stranger on the internet.
Do you think the entire Russian population is scheming against Finland? Because they’re not. The shitty ass government and the Russian people are not synonymous with one another.
No shit, people don’t want to live in crappy conditions. Why do people always thing immigrants are a bad thing?
Right… where did I say anywhere in this comment chain that I was the world authority on the subject? Did you want to have a discussion with someone, or are you just bored and wanted someone on the internet to argue with?
And yes of course I already know you’re going to claim that it’s exactly what she does and that she a triple doctor in advanced whatever helps your cause this time
I already said what she does, climate adaptation. Why would I say she does anything else? You’re just being obtuse now.
though I’m sure your dad works for double NASA
I mean, I do. But it’s in a completely unrelated field to climate stuff, so doesn’t really matter in this argument.
Dude, I have an aerospace engineering degree. Excuse yourself for making dumbest assumptions. I have not rejected any science. Are you like a troll or bot farm, or just bored? Yes, my partner was at a conference until last Wednesday. She’s no longer at a conference, but I’m not going to go bother her with this frivolous internet argument. Eventually, yes, we will talk about this conversation I’ve had with you. I have talked about this very thing in the past, and she has said we need carbon sequestration at this point to stave off the worst effects of climate change, but at no point has she said we have a scalable solution to do it, or that she thinks we will do anything. Her research takes a very pessimistic viewpoint that we aren’t going to do jackshit about climate change, so we are just going to have to try to adapt to it, which honestly, I agree with. Humans showed through the pandemic that they weren’t up to the task of helping their fellow humans by doing something even as simple as wearing a piece of fabric over their face.
But, by all means, continue to make assumptions, and make yourself look like a presumptuous ass.
Carbon based efuels are going to be a huge part in the transition to an ecologically sustainable society, the model using sequestered carbon and renewable power generation is just one of several incredibly promising areas of chemistry at the moment.
Exactly, everybody thinks technology is going to save us from ourselves, and that’s why we are fucked.
And for the record, I didn’t ask my partner about any of this bcz she was out of town at a conference. Why would I bother her while she’s working to settle a dumb internet argument?
Did he hit the person, or just was rude, and inconsiderate? If it’s the former. Sure, but if it’s the later, then that’s just unfortunately stuff you deal with when you’re in customer service.
