@AviBittMD @sguyenet What is the right kind of vegan diet or method for finding one that works for a given individual? What books should people read? How should they troubleshoot it?

Me at 3 am realizing I've been suffering for years… and it took just 1 fvckin free article.

I scored 41% on the Burnham Liberal Test (1964) — "Mixed / Moderate." 39 questions from Suicide of the West. Take it yourself: https://t.co/MwDGIrr0va

@CircleKStores Okay just sent dm

[Craig Talbert @craigtalbert]

@CircleKStores hey so is this bad?

[eigenrobot @eigenrobot]

none of these people are going to go to jail for their assorted violent crimes against strangers that were captured on camera and broadcast and the open impunity is the entire point of course

the lesson is they control the streets and in fact they do

welcome to hell

@DenSafetyDept @DenverPolice I’m right down the block. A huge swat truck just went by. Some guy is yelling “pig” at the scene of the lights

@Rockies Hey koa! Get the ball! Go get it!

[Craig Talbert @craigtalbert]

@Rockies Can we let our dogs play on the field on the meantime?

[Craig Talbert @craigtalbert]

@EricGoodman @SeanKeeler The Rockies make money because transplants like to go to Coors Field and see their team from the old country beat the Rockies.

@joebless__ Follow the debris map. Yellow and orange are the worst areas.

[Craig Talbert @craigtalbert]

I’ll keep helping, homie. You want others to share your POV, right?

Consider @blurrgh’s statement through corrigibility—encouraging change.

Using language implying fixed states, like unchangeable traits, subtly shifts reasoning to treat them as permanent, even if unintended. It frames opponents’ positions as static and risks alienating them.

Describing beliefs or actions as corrigible—temporary or changeable—leaves room for growth and keeps your speech accurate.

See the value in this? If you want to avoid lockdowns in the future, this is a good way to get more people on your side.

[Craig Talbert @craigtalbert]

You never paid attention in school. Google e-prime, or ChatGPT or whatever they’ll tell you the same thing.

“Pro-lockdown advocates” suggests a fixed identity, “people who advocated for lockdowns” describes specific actions, aligning with E-Prime’s focus on behavior over labels.

I’d be winning to bet this would be obvious to you in any other context, but you come in to a comedians replies—someone who makes a living off of linguistic precision and expect people to go easy on you for being sloppy.

[Craig Talbert @craigtalbert]

@RunAwayFromBaby @dickmcbonerdong @blurrrgh @ComicDaveSmith lol now you’ve swapped “pro-lockdown advocates” for “people who advocated for lockdowns.”

Care to backpedal any more?

[Craig Talbert @craigtalbert]

This is persuasive redefinition or hyperbole.

So like anyone who worked from home is a pro-lockdown advocate?

This is why this is sloppy thinking. You’re talking about a scenario where the information people had changed over time, and the information about effectiveness of interventions was debated and discussed and change overtime. But what you’re saying is that anyone who wasn’t categorically against any intervention since 2019 was trading freedom for safety?

Based.

[Craig Talbert @craigtalbert]

@RunAwayFromBaby @dickmcbonerdong @blurrrgh @noam_dworman @ComicDaveSmith what point? People who were pro-Japanese internment camps were real and bad.

People who are/were pro-lockdown advocates only exist in your head canon.

Where is the analogy?
