Your account is barely a week old and you’ve managed to piss off a lot of people. It’s amazing that the left always gets blamed for the lack of progress when the right is constantly finding new ways to dismember progress as crudely and primitively as possible. If you don’t want the left to focus on bigotry, hatred, and violence, then you need to stop contributing to those issues and be an actual decent human being maybe we wouldn’t focus on it so much then 😉

In college, my mentor in the lab I worked in had perfect blots every single time. Mine were barely readable every time even though I followed protocol exactly, and asked for the prof to watch me sometimes. The girl I mentored in the lab had perfect blots every single time from her first run.

It was disheartening, I felt like an idiot haha

Most Christians would rather believe in escapism and have cruel contempt rather than stewardship and kindness and love and acceptance. Even if it is part of the gospel we read.

Oh no, it’s a real place alright. All the rich people live on the east side of the river and in the north and look down on the poorer people on the west side and in the south. Crime is an issue, there were lots of hit and runs when I lived there, there was even a season where people had to learn to lock their car doors at stoplights cause you could just get carjacked in that amount of time. Wild place, don’t recommend.

I guess that depends on your definition of facts. If you objectively observed human behavioral trends, where do you think you would see higher instances of racism, classism, bigotry, self-righteousness, sexism, and prejudice would lie? Or if we were to dig historically into the roots of those behaviors, or how pervasive to society they’ve been. I don’t think it’s down to intelligence, people can be very knowledgeable and capable of the most terrible things. People can understand very little about the world and still choose to say that their neighbor is a neighbor. Unfortunately, there are negative echo chambers that exist that perpetuate fear of the ‘other’ or the ‘unnatural’ or just…’it didn’t happen to me so I don’t believe it happened to you’ or ‘the way I fixed the issue was special because it was me but nobody else should be allowed to have it’.

What is intelligent conversation to you by the way? Is it a discussion of true, verifiable facts (via peer reviewed research, holistic historical accounts, etc.) or one of initially civil opinion until someone throws a tantrum because they can’t convert the other?
