that's uncontested

it's the degree of impact that's debatable

but overall it seems that with live people we as a whole are more confrontational and skeptical... whereas with cartoon avatars it's more laid back but also more dismissive

personally, I run videos mostly off screen and rarely look at them

so again, we're back to the medium of delivery

but if you read the comments of the cartoon bear video and the live person you'll see the idea in action

usually in the cartoon bear video comments, there is more discussion on the idea.. whereas people get more based on...well, the people in the video

what I cannot stand is the robot voice auto reader

that's not a quantifiable argument

the assertion that the argument will naturally be drowned out by the performance/image of the narrator is something of an opinion

it's something I see fairly often to notice that pattern

perhaps you can refer to the nixon/kennedy debate

that'll bolster your position

though i argue that it is the body language impact of live action debates which greatly impact one's message

and it's one I know I do all the time.... have the same idea come from a guy or a hot woman and see who I listen to

after all, it is shown that body language account's for roughly 80% of a conversation

I think that gravitating to certain speakers based on their physical appearance is a base impuse buried deep in our lizard brain

so the only way then to disable that part of the brain is to remove the speaker?

maybe

but that's a difficult hypothesis to test

the cartoon bear 😃

SO ANGRY

lol

lol

but seriously though, third trimester abortions is super fucked

no contest here

damn

i was hoping to see what the pro argument was

i have yet to come up with a viable steelman argument pro 3rd tri abortions

none come to mind, overall it's abhorrent to me

ABORT MISSION

let's disagree on something miso

But as a male... I know my brain is wired to listen to and cater to women of certain appearances... from a lifetime of all this unrepentent patriachy I guess

doesn't bother me though

is that an impulsive reaction to their appearance, their message, personality or a mix?

State of the Unions are so fkn boring

Every single time its just

President: "something something" * hand gesture*

Every single motherfucker from the president's party: * STANDING OVATION, CRYING, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU JESUS *

everyone in the opposition: * angry clapping *

Every time

example, my doctor is not an attractive woman but I'll still heed her prognosis

the sou is literally like that everyyear
