She's always been unusually gentle for a street dog, shy and docile with everyone. My dad gave her the ironic nickname "bodybuilder/wrestler" (பயில்வான்) because she's so lean and averse to fighting (other than playfighting with her sister, which she did a lot of). We were trying to actually build that body up, making sure she got to eat her food without bother from other dogs, and to eat a lot of it. But as soon as she started allowing me to pet her, she requires at least thirty seconds of petting every time, before she would touch her food.

Trump is far from great, though the fact that you resort to body shaming, and thus are ok being hurtful to all overweight people in one swath just to get the chance to attack trump, is troubling to say the least.

Though a lot of that is an overexageration, not that I entierly disagree, he has been far from tactful and that is and should hurt him. but it is fairly naive to the details in a lot of that.

Lets take domestic terrorism for example, if we look since 2008 so we cover both Trump and Obama the highest year for domestic terrorism was 2015, in other words, under Obama. since Obama after Trump got in office it has trended mostly downward. So this is not just incorrect, but the exact opposite is technically true (Source: The center for investigative reporting - "Type investigations and Reveal" publication).

The pedophile stuff.. that one is hard to judge.. I mean sure he knew a guy who turned out to be a pedophile... so did a lot of people. Thats pretty weak evidence he engaged in wrong doing with him, we would need more info to even speculate.

Him making fun of someone with disabilities I think is a good one, the only semi-legitimate point on the list. He did make fun of someone who happened to have disabilities. But according to trump the way in which he mocked him is the way he mocks most people and was not due to his disability. Now at first this was a big issue for me and I did condemn trump for it, still do but to a lesser extent. Back when the claim was first made I reviewed a compilation of video of all the times trump mocked random people in the same way. To my surprise he used the same gesture (which looked like he was mocking the disability) to mock dozens of other normally-abled people. This made it clear that what trump said was true, that while he was mocking the person, and I see that as childish and not proper for a president, he was **not** mocking his disability.

So with that said I look at the list you just made, which mostly just boils down to "he is immature in how he speaks and mocks people", which admittidly isconcerning, but pales in comparison to the things Both Biden and Kamala have done to attack and disenfranchise minorities, women, and the LGBT. Trump doesnt come anywhere near as bad as Biden on moral grounds..

1) biden started his career based on a lie about his education that surfaced only after he got into office, turns out he didnt go to schools he claimed to and was at the bottom of his class and didnt get the grades he claimed either

2) He also started his career opposing desegregation efforts. His first decade or so of his career was focused on keeping blacks and whites in seperate schools under the claim he did not want to see white schools turned into a "jungle" by introducing black students (his choice of words).

3) He supported and took part in the murder of US civitizens without due process, one of the biggest scandals of the Obama administration.. murder.. worse yet in one case it was a 16 year old boy and american citizen part of the drone murder scandals.

4) Kamala is a cop who has a horrific history of abusing blacks and minotiries during her career.

5) Kama spearheaded and passed SESTA one of the worst abuses on women and sex workers to date

6) Has a clear case of rapidly progressing dementia. Trump does not, he is just a moron which isnt much better but at least it wont progress as it is with Biden.

7) Kama has an abusive record towards Trans men and women as well passing and supporting bills that deny trans their medication when in jail and leading to suicide and other trauma as a result.

8) Hell she even attacks parents where she supported sending parents to jail as a consequence for home schooling their own children.

9) Finally lets not forget what Biden said at his acceptance speech about wanting to force-drug the american population with a vaccine that hasn't been released yet and was rushed through all the normal FDA safety checks. He said he wanted to require vaccines certificates people would have to show if they are on the streets. We are literally talking about this guy supporting mass drugging on a population without their consent and at gun point.

Given my list compared to yours, I will take Trump any day.

One scientist was wrong, happens all the time and it's not a bug: it's a feature of the scientific method.

The replication crises regards a series of studies, you can read more about it on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

As freemo, I've also seen it mainly in psychology, never heard of it outside that field. It makes sense, it's complex and young and in my opinion still lacks a strong paradigm to guide it.

There is no relation to ethnicity, race, gender or whatever involved, afaik, just some experiments giving different results now than before

Another important matter is that society changes, and people change, so while with biology or geology you will rarely have this kind of troubles, many psychological mechanisms are very much related on the culture and quickly change with it, making the experiments hard to verify.

To be sure, is not a fraud, it's mostly an epistemological problem, ie a problem of the methods
