I wonder if you use a series of controlled taps you can get a screw to screw in with a hammer.

Bravo

I see your getting down votes. This crowd doesn’t like to be called out. Americans are sheep. We buy what we are told to buy; we eat what we are told to eat; we believe what we are told to believe but this isn’t unique to America. We definitely do need to do better in our politics. It’s evident every day when there is an unnaturally orange man on the TV and there isn’t a line of Karen’s sitting in front of every courthouse asking to speak to a manager.

Anyway…

I’ve said it before. Misinformation exsits in all information. You will be hard pressed to find any common distributor of information to not have any errors. The thought that you can simply be fed only truth with out having to think critically is a fallacy. You can blame the media for existing but you can’t make it not exist. It’s people, who have principles, ignoring those principles because we’ve allowed that to be acceptable behavior in the states.

Stop asking, “can you believe trump did this thing.” Start asking, “would you do this thing that trump did.” Don’t waste your time on petty shit. Stick with the obscene shit. “Would you grab a woman by the pussy?” “Would you sexually assault a woman.” “Would you call immigrants animals?”

Their only response will be, that’s not true, and right there they have nothing to do but refute reality. A shared reality is the most basic principle of having society and them ignoring what we can see with our eyes and hear with our ears is not them having a different set of facts. It’s pure fantasy. It’s antisocial behavior, and tell them that.

For sure. How many times has the end is nigh reared it’s head in the last 40yrs

I’m trying man but all I see is hate and fear win. Like just now I was thinking we know trumps going to make another authoritarian grab for power. No matter the results. I know they put some protections in if he loses and they seem pretty decent.

What about if he wins, though?

He’s signaled his intent should we not warn our citizens about what to do when certain things happen?

When Trump exercises the new powers that the supreme court granted him, what should the people do?

When Trump expels anyone not loyal to him from the government? What do we do?

When he opens concentration camps to round up immigrants, what should we be doing?

It’s all but too late but how stupid it would be if the DNC left it all up to chance.

Apologies

It’s pessimistic but it does help calibrate you on what to be grateful for. Say, somehow, we are on the brink of a utopia and we just don’t know it. Except the people today won’t be alive to experience it. For us, this would be as good as it gets.

That one article claiming to have cured a person with type I diabetes. I don’t really put stock into it but at one point HIV was thought to be incurable and they made breakthroughs like this, one at a time.

I’ll go. One thing that always gives me pause is crime rates are way down in the US.

Tim has come out guns blazing. I’d let him go head to head against Vance with no fact checks. I just wish they’d get rid of the moderators, though, if they aren’t going to moderate.

Just put a jar between them and they can pull a card if the discussion dies down.

And God said it should be painful! That’s what you get for wanting to know stuff!

Can’t wait for Putins youtube. He’s got some killer tips on how to pick up women.

I agree. I also have my own pet agenda. I think people need more time to process. Our mind is taxed constantly and we are trying to squeeze everybit of life in the 2-3 hours before we have to go back to work. If people could chill for some exteneded period of time. Feel stable for a some extended period of time. They would not be so panicked all the time and be less prone to being irrational.

The best way to avoid information is to avoid misinformation? Maybe you meant something else.

Edit:

Am I missing something?

This is hyperliteral, but ok. In this case we are talking about the information from our senses. Well, our senses fail us all the time. Ever misread a word? Ever mishear instructions? Cross your index and middle finger then run the tips of those fingers down the bridge of your nose. Done correctly you will feel two noses.

I’m ok with this, it highlights the same exact thing. To avoid air pollution you would have to stop breathing because all air is polluted.

Oh. Sorry. I guess.

Thnks. Bud.

Edit: See what I mean. So sensitive.

Polticial opinion speaks directly to how ugly and distasteful a person can be. Viscerally, as the observer, shading someone’s outward appearance with what might be inside changes how they appear.

Lol.
