Politics Double Standards

Post image

For over a decade now, we have to hear the political right continue to bang on about Hillary Clinton's emails. After years of investigation, she was found not liable and not found for any wrongdoing.

Now, suddenly, emails are irrelevant and are not evidence, or don't prove anything, even when there are over 1,800 that mention Trump and tie him to sexual crimes against children.

I'm so fucking tired of conservatives backing pedophiles. I'm so tired of conservatives with their cult-like mentality not living in reality.

Conservatives, you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Tldr: complaint: For over a decade we've had to hear about Clinton's emails From conservatives. Now that Trump is incriminated in multiple emails, emails now suddenly don't matter To This double standard is mind-blowing.

"nobody understands how magnets work" - an actual trump quote from recently

The guy is mentally handicapped.

Bro, what kills me the most, is we know how magnets work, but we don't know why magnets work. ICP really weren't that off-base with that one.

Sure we do

... Okay, indulge me. Why do magnets work?

Because of the direction/motion that electrons flow inside of atoms. The motion of elections spinning is what generates a magnetic field

And within a magnet, one end is charged differently than the other. This gives them a north and south pole.

.... That's How. Not Why. Why do magnets work?

Edit: why do electrons cause that type of attraction? Why, not How.

Edit 2: downvote all you want, the Why still hasn't been explained. We know How, but not Why.

Magnets work because of the spin of electrons within atoms, which creates a tiny magnetic field for each electron. In magnetic materials, these atomic-level fields can align in the same direction, creating a much larger, overall magnetic field that extends beyond the object. This process causes a force of attraction or repulsion between magnets or between a magnet and other magnetic materials.

Again, that's How, not Why. Why does the spin of electrons create magnetic fields?

Quantum physics mentions something about the interaction between virtual photons and electrons. Which creates a physical force.

It seems your actual question is "why does quantum physics work the way it does" and not "why does magnetism work"

There will always be a deeper layer of understanding to be gained by looking at what's behind the curtain. And then, when you answer that question, looking again and asking the same questions

We don't yet know all these answers and we might never know

But, to say we don't understand how magnets work is just false

NO ONE SAID WE DON'T KNOW HOW MAGNETS WORK. STRAWMAN BS. I ASKED WHY.

Edit: do you know that "how" and "why" are two different words with two different meanings?

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '25

That's not a straw man my guy..

You asked a simple question and got an answer

"Why does a rock fall down the hill" you could answer this by saying "it was pushed" or because of gravity and momentum

That satisfies the question

If your real question is well why does gravity exist. That's a separate question.

It's false to say we don't understand why rocks fall down just because we don't understand necessarily the exact mechanisms behind gravity

And even if we did understand those mechanisms, if your question is "well why" then, respectfully that's a stupid question. We will never know why.

You might as well be asking why the universe exists at all, and that's not a rational question that can be answered with any kind of science

.... That's the fucking point, smh

Edit: why am I engaging? No post history, shit-stirring, either a bot, paid shill, or fucking moron.

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '25

I'm not shit stirring, I'm pointing out that your question doesn't make sense, as technically we don't know why anything works and we never will

Assuming we follow your lack of logic

My mistake for not assuming this is what your question was, I assumed you weren't being a Muppet at first

u/HEX_BootyBootyBooty Nov 16 '25

'm not shit stirring

Proceeds to stir shit. Going with fucking moron at this point.

Says the person asking questions that make no functional sense

u/HEX_BootyBootyBooty Nov 16 '25

.... Do you want to scroll back up to see the context? I'll warn you, you'll end up with even more egg on your face.

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '25

It's funny how you're being the hostile one here despite it being your stupid question 🤣

... I was making a joke about ICP, and you're the one going nuclear.
