I doubt you’ll change my mind on this, but feel free to keep trying

You aren’t just reading it. You’re writing an entire-ass paper on the subject which would require actually understanding where the article is coming from in order to further extrapolate its opinion, otherwise you’d just be rewriting the article in its entirety which doesn’t seem to be the goal of the assignment.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it

If you brought in dissenting opinions, then… That would just be a lesson on disproving articles, not actually learning how to understand opposing opinions.

I stopped using Dr Squach when I found out their toothpaste omits Flouride for REasOnS. Fuck them. Their deodorant also got mushy quickly, omits important ingredients, and left stains on my shirts. I can’t trust them to make anything other than their bars of soap, and I’d switch that out if I found a good alternative to their coffee scented soap (🤤)

I use any clear gel, currently Old Spice. I haven’t found a single “normal” deodorant that doesn’t leave white shit on my shirts, so clear gel it is.

As for shower gel, I just use a bar of soap. Anything is fine. What you should be really worried about is your shampoo and conditioner. Don’t use either of them daily. Don’t get that bullshit 2-in-1. Most people use them wrong, too.

There was no thinking involved

I actually wholeheartedly disagree. It’s easy to spout off your own beliefs, it’s harder to justify one you don’t already agree with. Critical thinking here would require you to understand where the article is coming from rather than writing it off entirely because you start from a position of not agreeing.

Understanding an opinion while not agreeing with it is incredibly important. If you don’t understand a topic well enough to advocate for the devil, then you don’t understand it enough to have a conversation at all.

This is literally what critical thinking is. It’s not “justify a position you already agree with.”

I mean that’s not a bad thing, either. Being capable of understanding an opinion you don’t agree with is incredibly important and very lacking.

JWST isn’t going in circles, it’s orbiting the sun. If you look at it relative to that, then it looks more like a sine wave rather than going in circles. However from the perspective of the earth, it looks like it’s going in circles

You know you can do those things without a car right…? Right…!?

Are you kidding? The government will dig themselves deeper into debt with or without it. Regardless, “I can’t stop giving people cancer because otherwise it would cut into my profits” is a uniquely shitty thing to say.

Oh man “maybe some contain some things that might cause cancer maybe possibly in laboratory testing on mice, and even only if you absolutely fucking drown yourself in it” against “smoking is always known to and will absolutely cause cancer, including to people around you.” Yeah definitely the same thing.

I mean, he didn’t do anything on it for almost three years, so I’d say it wasn’t really a priority

That sounds like some D.A.R.E. bullshit. If that’s the case then I’d be perfectly fine trying heroin once because I won’t get addicted to it. I’ve tried nicotine a few times, now, and I have less than zero interest in trying it again. You can make your point without being hyperbolic

… perfume doesn’t cause cancer when you inhale it

I have the opposite tendencies. I much prefer flat UI over the tacky bezeled borders or bubble/graphics/garbage of Old™.

They actually care quite a lot. Google ranks you down if this occurs frequently through a metric called Cumulative Layout Shift. You can also be put into confirm click status if you do this egregiously, which basically means you have to click “yes” after clicking an ad before you go to the actual page. It has a huge negative effect on revenue.

Scrollbars are also shit with infinite scrolling

I’m really not a fan of shadows everywhere. They look a bit tacky. I’ve always liked flatter uis with maybe a VERY subtle shadow for navigation, but not shadows on every fuckin element

That’s mobile first done badly. You can have a good desktop design while also looking good on mobile, you just have to care even the slightest bit

As an American that as been to Alabama and also Coventry, I agree

Also the ring road is an absolute death trap. I’ve never felt more unsafe on a road

Have you even used Lemmy for anything except meme reposts?
