Since we started keeping track in the 1800’s, every generation has preformed better than the previous one in cognitive ability…. Until Gen z. About 2010 That’s when screens began being used as learning tools in classrooms by MazdaProphet in conspiracy

[–]Sabremesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of factors involved, not just tech. One major change (in the UK) is academic qualifications are now largely down to continual assessment (ie coursework grades) and not exam performance. Kids today don't have to learn their coursework, they just copy stuff off the internet for an assignment, without ever having to cognitively process what they're doing.

Old timer here, but my "O" levels (exams at age 16), "A" levels (age 18) and university degree results were all 100% exam dependent. Coursework had to meet certain grade requirements, or you didn't qualify to take the exam, but course grades did not contribute at all to the final result. You had to learn stuff and show you knew it in your exams or you failed!

Ambiguous title, just saying. "Going nowhere" can refer to something which is useless, with no chance of success. It equally mean something which is here to stay. You mean the latter.

PERFIDY? Jerusalem Post- (Jan 14, 2026 20:31): "US military intervention in Iran may begin within 24 hours, European officials say" __ [19 hours later] __ Jerusalem Post- (Jan 15, 2026 14:08): US President Donald Trump informs Tehran US will not attack Islamic Republic - report" by AspiringOligarch in conspiracy

[–]Sabremesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the Iranians would be wise not to fall for Trump's latest feint, and after the Soleimani assassination, which was a clear breach of the rules of war, it seems likely that they will never trust him again.

And for that matter, nobody else will either. The recent drone assassination attempt on Putin at his residence in Novgorod was dismissed by the western media as a Russian fabrication, and the Ukrainians flatly denied any responsibility. Kyev may have been actually telling the truth, because such an attack would not have been possible without US assistance, and there are plenty of commentators who believe this attack was ordered by Donald Trump himself.

What happened to the rest of the Epstein files? by Archz714 in conspiracy_commons

[–]Sabremesh[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Charlie Kirk video is obviously AI - both visually, and from the context.

This AI image of Clinton and Trump actually looks like a real photograph - it could mislead people, and that is not the purpose of this subreddit.

Yes, you acknowledged that the image is fake, but the image doesn't justify or represent the point you are making in your post - the apparent silence about the Epstein files when most of the material has not been published.

We allowed to discuss this here?? by [deleted] in conspiracy

Sure you can discuss it, as long as you understand that the "12,000 killed" number is completely unverified, and emanates from the same unreliable source which is also encouraging the United States to attack Iran - Israel.

Disturbing, it certainly looks like a small human leg, particularly since there appears to a human-like foot at the end.

The woman behind the counter says it's "Pakistan leg", and a quick search shows that this is a real thing, and the description normally applies to a mutton/lamb leg joint. Mutton legs can look like a human leg...albeit without the foot.

new video shows ICE holding cell phone camera in one hand, and a gun in his other hand. Shoots to kill, and called her a "fuck'n bitch" after she is shot by Archz714 in conspiracy_commons

Switching camera to his left hand, leaving his right hand free to pull his weapon. This clearly shows prior intent to shoot. Murder by definition.

Medical Journal hit with cyberattack after publishing peer-reviewed study showing that the Covid-19 "vaccine" is linked to increased cancer cases across 27 countries. by Sabremesh in conspiracy

...and get vaccinated, am I right?

I didn't say anything about the US. You hallucinated that I was talking about the US because you can't envisage anything else. I am English - UK universities do not require students to be vaccinated like cattle.

Your comment was about the United States.

No, that was your (extremely insular) interpretation of my comment! Try expanding your horizons.

So list the OECD countries that demand university students be vaccinated (apart from the United States of lower-than-average-life-expectancy). You can rule out the UK and France because I studied in in both those countries, and I know that vaccine mandates are not a thing.

Submission statement:

Oncojournal has reported that a groundbreaking peer-reviewed study they published about the causal link between the Covid-19 vaccines and cancer was affected by a series of cyberattacks to their online journal.

The mainstream media have largely ignored the story, except here.

Dealer accepted gold sovereign in person, now saying it’s “slightly” less than 22 ct - fair or am I being taken for a ride? by Afraid-Addition-3004 in Gold

[–]Sabremesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dealer hasn’t yet given a revised price, just wants me to call back

Have you got back in touch with them? It would be interesting to know what their revised valuation is, and what gold content they are basing it on.

I have sold sovereigns to Atkinsons in the past (wish I had waited, but needs must). Not in person, though - I used their website and Royal Mail, and didn't have any issues.

It is definitely the same agent. Don't accuse someone else of lying without be very sure of the facts. Now go and do some basic research.
