Perhaps the closest term is “cognitive dissonance.” I don’t think current usage best fits your description, although the original event that inspired the term certainly does.

https://www.simplypsychology.org/cognitive-dissonance.html

Cognitive dissonance was first investigated by Leon Festinger, arising out of a participant observation study of a cult that believed that the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood, and what happened to its members — particularly the really committed ones who had given up their homes and jobs to work for the cult — when the flood did not happen.

While fringe members were more inclined to recognize that they had made fools of themselves and to “put it down to experience,” committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along (the earth was not destroyed because of the faithfulness of the cult members).

There is the sunk-cost fallacy, but that is more about investments. I don’t know if it’s refers to popularity like OP wants.

Why not husband/wife?

Thanks, that’s a useful description.

Pretty ingenious.

There was the question of why Vance would work for someone he had called Hitler. His public statements are they here was convinced after Trump’s first term that Trump was a good president.

In fact, there are private texts stating that Vance believed Trump’s presidency was a failure. This was new information. It made it clear that he wasn’t convinced by Trump’s presidency.

It probably doesn’t make much difference to most voters, but it is significant information.

I didn’t understand how the OP did this:

Is that just a spoofed email? What would be the steps to do that?

Is the statement that it is a semi-liquid more or less confirmed? That is what I’m saying.

Is the moon’s diameter and composition enough to create a semi-molten rock? Or could this phenomenon be better explained by a loose set of rocks, which also displays characteristics of a liquid when in movement.

A recent study from scientists at NASA and the University of Arizona found that a layer of low-viscosity goo sits between the Moon’s rugged mantle and its metal core. This goo is rising and falling beneath the lunar surface — not unlike, say, ocean tides — which they concluded is likely caused by the gravitational push and pull of the Sun and Earth.

I wonder if it has to be a partial melt. We are finding that many asteroids are loosely bundled rocks. I wonder if maybe the moon has a similar structure. I have no clue how much pressure is under the surface and off it’s enough to fuse everything together.

I have no idea if they are good or not, but this kind of service might be what you’re looking for?

I think there’s a YouTube channel called the armed fisherman whose deal is to carry an AK as he goes “fishing” because that is allowed. I’ve only seen a couple of vids, so my details are probably wrong.

That could even be a private service. What is the service about rating professors? I don’t think schools and teachers have to be involved with that. I don’t think the police need involvement either.

Thanks, I do appreciate this. It’s good to be reminded.

Sorry, no greenwashing, just guessing. I just haven’t seen the criticisms like we had 10 years ago.

I agree that politicians don’t have much reason to speak against it without pressure, but I haven’t seen any pressure from citizens about it recently.

I could very much be out of the loop, so if you have any recent articles critical of the industry, I’d be happy to see them.

It seems like the fracking industry has cleaned up a lot of their shit? We aren’t hearing the stories of water on fire, earthquakes in areas like Oklahoma, etc.

I’m just guessing. I haven’t seen any criticism of the industry recently.

Just for other people reading this thread, the following comments are an excellent case study in how an individual (the above poster) can be so confidently mistaken, even when other posters try to patiently correct them.

May we all be more respectful of our own ignorance.

They’ve got it on most of Reddit!

It really depends on the kind of buses I think.

I did a lot of traveling in South America and it was a great way to see different countries. A lot of the buses were pretty luxurious with 180 degree reclining seats, meals and bus attendants to give your blankets and things. You could rest comfortably during the night trips. I also met some interesting people along the way. Some trips were horrible too, but at least I have the stories.

I probably wouldn’t do it in the US. Don’t know about other countries.

Can you actually extend the trip and stay at some hotels/hostels or something along the way? If the buses are comfortable, and you have the time and budget, i think it would be great to visit three different countries, enjoy the foods and sites, meet people along the way, and have that time by yourself to do whatever you want.

Except for the invitation to parents of an Israeli hostage.

AIPAC just has more money to give than the genocide victims.

Love takes many forms. Caring for someone without the expectation of a benefit you want is a form of love. If my wife came down with MS and we could no longer have sex, I would still love her, respect her and admire the mother and life partner that she is. I would also be upset that I couldn’t have sex any more.

I personally would try to figure out the following, with or without professional help:

• Why is she depressed? She is going through a lot. She is probably scared you are going to abandon her when she needs someone the most. She may also hate the situation that you are in because of her illness. She is also probably angry at the world that she has to suffer this. She is also probably worried for her child and feels guilty that she can’t give her more. There are so many feelings she has to process, it may be easier to just shut down.
• If you remove the expectations of sex with her, would you be willing to stay with her as a caring and respectful partner and mother to your child?
• You might explore non-monogamy. That’s going to be a complicated conversation, but maybe something your wife is willing to explore. Just ensure it takes into consideration all the issues in the first point.

A good mother and partner is so hard to find. Love can take many forms. Don’t feel limited in your choices if you can make other options work out.

The IBA is a corrupt Russian body that was upset the Russian boxer was defeated. They never released any results or the methodology they used to determine their decision. They were rightly removed from the IOC.
