Data Discussers Mugs

"Right, before we look at the covid figures for today, do we need another sheet of paper?"

'According to our statistics department, 78.93 of the statistics they produce are worthless.'

"O.K., O.K., people - we're not workshopping these, they're already set in stone."

Dialogue

'You'll never believe this - they've found the actual body of Jesus!'

The Proust of Twitter

My new laptop is nicer than your new laptop. I'm not going to get into a competition about whose new laptop is nicer. The one I replaced is nicer than the one you replaced. Stop it.

Changing Minds

"Now that's a win."

"Strawman argument terrorises conversation... News at eleven."

"Mainstream? Who's to say what's mainstream?"

"We broke up. I wanted a proprietary platform - she wanted open source."

'This graph may need some explaining...'

"He'll never win this negotiation. He's saddled with numbers...but we have anecdotes."

The Church of DanaeDanaeism: 'And let such sacrilege go uncontested? Never! I demand equal time for alternate explanations of things.'

Oz Debating Society. You can't refute everything I say just by call it a "straw man" argument.

"On the contrary, Bosworth, it's YOU who has lost all perspective."

"Ever notice how grateful people are when you present them with facts contrary to their beliefs?"

"Honey, come quick! This guy in the comments section just solved the Middle East crisis."

'I'm now going to open the floor to questions.'

"How do I know God is not real? For the same reason I know people on TV can't see me."

Debating Society. I can accept that money is speech as long as we can agree that some spending is like yelling fire in a theater.

Like Minded

A bunch of global warming skeptics want to join eco club. It's a school organization. You have to let them in. But they just want to harass us with selective facts! Today: Eco club. So? Debate is good. You have :An Inconvenient Truth" to counter their arguments. Oh. Great. Now we'll have to read it.

And now, for a rebuttal.

'I can watch T.V. shows on the computer, so who needs a TV?'

I can't keep up, Randy. What happened, little buddy? You know how I created a hate-bot to automate my back you up in online arguments business? Don't tell me: The Russian troll farms beat you to it. No. My hate-bot became sentient and created an even snarkier hate-bot. Mankind is officially obsolete. For an extra $1, the HB-1000 will throw in racism and misogyny.

Today on the Ask Sadie Show, we'll be addressing one single topic: Wondering. In my day, when a body said I wonder why dust bunnies are called dust bunnies, it led to all sorts of delightful speculation. We could while away hours debating whether it was a marketing ploy by big broom ... or whether it dated back to Napoleon, who had a fetish for dirty rabbits. And if we were lucky, opinions could get so heated that fisticuffs would ensue. Wondering is just one of many lovely human experiences utt

Global warming debate.
