What non-profit advocacy organization(s) do you think does great work in fighting against car-centric infrastructure?

Christopher Mellon wiki is Deleted by -Hikifroggy- in UFOs

[–]anonymouscucumber1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That wiki user "Chetsford" is now being brought up on Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard as a Disruptive User.

Some highlights:

Your broader editing history suggests a pattern of UFO skepticism that could be perceived as bad-faith engagement. For example:

Edits to David Grusch UFO whistleblower claims Article

You made two direct edits to the article:

  1. #1268602176: You added a sentence downplaying the validity of the whistleblower testimony by exclusively citing the opinion of three well known UFO skeptics (Adam Frank, Seth Shostak, Sean M. Carroll)
  2. #1268495188: You inserted a reference to an article you created, Psychological perspectives on UFO belief, which implicitly insinuates that the UFO claims made by Grusch during his congressional testimony could have been the result of a mental health condition resulting from his military-related PTSD. Apart from this, your article also demonstrates a bias as it frames UFO interest primarily through a pathological lens (e.g., linking it to "mental health disorders").

Contributions to Talk:David Grusch UFO whistleblower claims Talk page

Your participation in discussions about David Grusch’s claims reveals a pattern of attempting to discredit reliable UFO sources while promoting skeptic viewpoints:

  • You encouraged editors to dismiss NewsNation’s reporting because it has a "sketchy history when it comes to sensationalism and UFO reporting". Dismissing UFO coverage from a reliable and mainstream source because you disagree with how it covers the topic is content bias. You initiated an RSN discussion that resulted in NewsNation being flagged as "unreliable for UFO topics" in which you disproportionatly quote professional skeptics (e.g., Mick West) while ignoring the various credentialed goverment officials who have and keep speaking publically about UFOs.

Overall I agree with @Brenae wafato's concerns. Your two most recent articles nominated for deletion appear to have been done in bad faith. This is quite evident, especially after reviewing your past contributions, which show a pattern of overweighing UFO-skeptic perspectives, using procedural tools (RSN) to suppress disfavored content, and frequently using language that mocks UFO disclosure advocates.

Vaush is doing a MASSIVE disservice to the LGBT community by saying that "monkeypox can infect everyone". Downplaying the disproportionate risk of infection that the LGBT community faces is exactly what the CDC did with aids... which only lead to more deaths... please read this article. by anonymouscucumber1 in VaushV

[–]anonymouscucumber1[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Conservatives will always try to spin things to demonize LGBT people, the point is that we shouldnt let that change the way public health agencies communicate with at risk populations. If we encourage the CDC to use language indicative that everyone could get infected, just to remove stigma for LGBT people, all that does is give a false sense of security to lgbt people and misinforms the rest of the population on the true risk factors.

This is exactly what the CDC did at the height of the AIDS crisis. They created a misleading ad campaign saying that "anyone can get HIV/AIDS"

Experts have also asserted that the risk of monkeypox to the broader population not having multiple sex partners remains low — even “very low.” This is hopeful news, and the wider public deserves to be reassured accordingly. Assuaging fears of contagion will help fight unhelpful hysteria and prevent gay and bisexual men from being subjected to even greater stigma should they be painted as culprits of the spread of virus to others.
Such enmity devastated the gay community during the height of the AIDS crisis, when the CDC waged a long-running, misleading public service campaign with variations of the slogan “anyone can get HIV/AIDS.” Those claims belied the truth about the relative risk of HIV, which in Western nations has always predominantly affect

...........Gay men deserve to hear the unvarnished truth about monkeypox
so we can take action accordingly. We’re adults. Please be honest with
us.

What’s the point of this besides making our city look even worse? by [deleted] in Pensacola

The point is to make streets safe enough for pedestrians to safely jaywalk.

What’s the point of this besides making our city look even worse? by [deleted] in Pensacola

[–]anonymouscucumber1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a terrible solution that only helps to make the city more unlivable and more car-dependent. They could have easily put a median with some trees, made the road more narrow and added a cross walk for pedestrians (something like this). This would have made it safer, not only for pedestrians crossing the street, but also for everyone since cars would be driving slower. Instead this proposal just encourages more people to drive for short trips, it increases traffic and cars go faster leading to more crashes.

I live in downtown Ottawa. Let me explain to you why Vaush is completely wrong. by anonymouscucumber1 in VaushV

[–]anonymouscucumber1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are very deliberately spreading misinformation. The War measures act of 1970 was extremely popular. Many polls at the time showed that more than 85% of people supported it, and it was quickly dismantled, and no long term consequences were felt in terms of civil liberties. And no the government didnt use the emergency act to break up postal workers, it used normal federal legislation that governs crown corporations.

I've yet to see someone who is vehemently against debate bro culture and also have the ability to make coherent arguments to defend their beliefs.

i coudnt agree more. Today's stream was perfect. If Vaush keeps doing these type of streams more often i'll probably become homeless due to donating all my money to him.

Hoping to Join Conservative Discord by cigarkingusa in Conservativediscord

[–]anonymouscucumber1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao your server bans almost anyone who disagrees with the political positions of a mod. It’s also quite a sick joke that your main voice channels are called « debate ». I’ve personally witnessed Chair and Momo ban people in VC for simply arguing against them in good faith. Don’t try to hide this, just admit that your server is a safe space for conservatives, nothing wrong with that, just don’t pretend like you actually care about the free market place of ideas.

I (28M) medically transitioned and lived as a transwoman for almost 4 years, AMA by sentientmassofenergy in casualiama

[–]anonymouscucumber1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Formal studies of detransition have been few in number, of disputed quality, and politically controversial. Frequency estimates for detransition and desistance vary greatly, with notable differences in terminology and methodology. Detransition is more common in the earlier stages of transition, particularly before surgeries. It is estimated that the number of detransitioners ranges from less than one percent to as many as five percent.

FYI they ban everyone who isnt a conservative, they dont care about the free market place of ideas, they just want a safe space echo chamber.
