so what you're telling me is that arguments claiming that humans and wild animals respond the same way are facile, self-serving, and generally worthless, and should not be relied upon when crafting complex social/domestic policy for a world power?
thank you for making my point for me.

>he thinks Wikileaks conducts surveillance
even for /pol/esmoker conspiracy theories this is pretty autismal

>He never mocked him. Period.
if you keep saying so, maybe it'll be true.
Trump does a spot-on impression of the guy's disability (with the phrase "you gotta SEE this guy") while mocking his statements. But he swears he wasn't making fun of his disability! You HAVE to believe him, right?
And why is it relevant that he lied about having met the guy? Because showing that he lied about one part of the story casts doubt on all his other statements. This is pretty simple to understand; have you never heard of cross-examination?

p.s. independent doesn't mean "neutral" in this context, it just means that the different accounts are literally from different people.

ah, the cherry-picked interval, weapon of choice of the denier.

>we know nothing about how the current "rate of change" compares to older rates of change since we never had such a high sample rate.
you don't know the speed limit law? go back to high school calc, you scrub. also, we can infer a lot about ancient climates from paleoecology.

did he not notice the loud sucking noise it must have been making?

>Why couldn't they for example absorb radiation to gain energy
>Assuming they are macroscopic heterotrophs
Please look up "heterotroph"

Apparently "pop science" books like The Blind Watchmaker, The Elegant Universe, A Brief History of Time, etc., are frowned upon on /sci/.

As someone who isn't a /sci/entist and doesn't claim to have a deep understanding of science, I don't get why you all dislike them. Are they fundamentally bad, is it kind of like /mu/ hating "entry level" stuff, or is it something else?

yea, but the mandelbrot set?
