I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Study Claiming Religious Children Are Less Generous Proven Wrong, Media Largely Ignores Retraction
"When we reanalyzed these data to correct this error, we found that country of origin, rather than religious affiliation, is the primary predictor of several of the outcomes. While our title finding that increased household religiousness predicts less sharing in children remains significant, we feel it necessary to explicitly correct the scientific record, and we are therefore retracting the article. We apologize to the scientific community for any inconvenience caused."

A newborn baby boy was left to die next to a Texas dumpster, but thankfully a woman heard his cries and came to his rescue.
Every state has a Safe Haven Law that allows parents to leave babies at a predesignated location anonymously – no questions asked. https://hubs.ly/H0k-wKj0

53% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Higher for some time than Obama's approval at the same time during his presidency. Not what I would have guessed given the Democrat media stories.

Did you know?
In 1989, the UN predicted “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels" by 2000.
We’re now two decades past.
Nations aren't missing.
We're living longer, healthier, and wealthier lives.
Don't believe the #climatechange hysteria.

Shame, shame, shame on @nbcsnl. A tiny bit of courage and they could have defied the mob and let this young man have the career he earned. Shame on the @nytimes and on every leftist moral midget who thinks this is okay. https://twitter.com/variety/status/1173689020699873282 …

Too many people in the media cannot seem to tell the difference between reporting the news and creating propaganda.

And a via a correspondant:
> The poor have been rebels but they have never been anarchists. They have got more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn’t; he can go away to New Guinea on a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists, as you can see from the barons' wars.
