Urotsukidōji, Legend of the Overfiend. It’s a loving story about bringing humans and demons together through tentacles /s (seriously /s it is very much NSFW and violent)

He was big in a band called DC Talk which was christian rock/pop. They are that genre’s biggest act. This is big news for those people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Talk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Tait

I really liked She-Hulk and would enjoy seeing more.

Could be a former cop who knows where keys are kept.

Could be someone who stole a cop car.

It’s because you cannot under normal circumstances engage in a killing spree but most can get laid if they have previously put in effort.

You are correct

Iran was keeping to the treaty until we ripped it up.

Radio Free Asia, it is a US government news service.

Radio Free Europe/Asia are US government news sources. They are only sometimes credible.

I really want Apple to just stop redesigning things

That’s a joke, right?

In 1992 I thought the GOP was being hyperbolic about Bill Clinton’s history of sexual predation. Im not proud of that.

I wouldn’t want this Iranian government to have nukes though

This isn’t like understanding a child’s game so I would say your baseball analogy is a false equivalence.

I’m not qualified enough to know what science is (ad hominem)

That isn’t ad hominem. Suggesting that the roots of your misunderstanding is due to your lack of experience or education in the field is not a personal attack. I am also not making an emotional appeal which is an alternate form of ad hominem.

Ad hominem would be if I suggested you couldn’t have an understanding because you are stupid (which I am absolutely in no way suggesting that you are unintelligent). I have not done this. I have suggested your lack of expertise in the field might be a good reason for you to question your own conclusions.

directing me to read an entire field of philosophy that for all I know has its entire existence bent towards proving that the social sciences are sciences exactly in the same way that natural sciences are

You dont need to become an expert but if you want to understand what we believe science is this is the place to start as the other place is a terminal degree in a science field which would be silly to suggest. The philosophy of science is the best field for you to get the answers to the uncertainty you have in your understanding

This is also not an example of ad hominem.

Why not read about the philosophy of science to expand your understanding? Why do you need to do it because I proved something to you?

Yeah one of my family members fits both

No one is “pretending” anything.

You literally have no experience or knowledge to determine what science is and is not since you have no background in any form of it.

Im sorry if the above offends you but it is the xase that a lack of education and/or experience in a field does mean you aren’t going to be someone who has an understanding of it.

If ypu are interested in learning why these are seen as sciences consider looking into the philosophy of science. You might be surprised what you learn when you try to.

Is it less prone to crash? Is it any better overall? I liked the initial game and the tv show to a lesser degree.

i have a degree, but not in science. Does that make me unqualified to state that the field of psychology, and most other social sciences lack the epistemic rigor of something like physics or biology and therefore are not real sciences?

That would depend on your actual field. If you had a masters or phd focusing on the philosophy of science, then yes. If you have a degree in anything else I would suggest considering that your lack of experience within science might be what is behind your misconception.

My education was in political science and international relations. At the undergraduate level for most programs political science is more pre-law or governmental studies and does not seem like a science. When you go for your masters it suddenly become very much a statistcal science.

What the anti-science (not you) ,science agnostic (not you), and those without a background in science (this is you) typically miss is that not all sciences are created equal. Things that rely on metastudies, as many social sciences do, typically will be less conclusive than say an experiment that can be observed directly, but that doesn’t mean both are not science.

The Empire is fascist and comes for all including its loyal servants

Some don’t like Star Wars or any Sci-fi. Others like fascism and hate things that say fascism is bad.
