I understand sampling, but the sample doesn’t represent the human population. Do the same test to 108 in Okinawa or any other blue zone and watch the results be different.

That’s like only sampling the burger people and then concluding that most people like burgers.

Statistics? Statistically speaking they studied 0.00000135% of the population all located in California.

The research tracked 108 volunteers

Not enough to actually mean anything.

The reason it works is because there is no refuting it other than, "Nah uh!" It's almost the equivalent to repeating someone's argument back to them in a tone to sound stupid. HOWEVER, this tactic works when arguing with a kindergartner, so it works here too.

I think Vance's problem is that he has no defense for anyone's claims. You can claim ANYTHING about Vance, true or not, and people are like, "Yeah, I see it."

My mom had JD Vance as a student in Ohio. He kept 3 of his pet frogs in his underwear during the day and no one knew why.

See?

Grayson has been arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder and is being held without bond until his trial is set to begin

I can't and wouldn't teach your kid to be gay. I can't get him to write his fucking name at the top of the page.

I keep seeing videos lately of grown men posing as children online and baiting individuals to public spaces and either assaulting them or recording/exposing them for content. While I don't mind the idea of a predator being outed, the idea of grown adults posing as children online seems unsavory to me. Especially if their end goal isn't to protect children, and is to provide content for views.

Obviously, being a child predator is wildly immoral and illegal and their actions are not what's being debated.

Trump: My team will play football only if it’s a home game and I get to pick the referees. Also, your team doesn’t get to to play, only my team does. And if you don’t agree then I’m not showing up and your team is to blame.

This is like when eary life evolved a soft-tissue that resembled a spine. It wasn’t a spine, but it resembled one.
