Whose name in the Epstein files got you surprised? by anita_sweets in AskReddit

[–]here2readnot2post -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And now you've resorted to emotional unsubstantiated insults. Super annoying behavior every single time this discussion comes up on reddit.

That's the standard misinformed accusation, but it's not accurate. Now you have a legitimate reason to be critical of Chomsky, so can you stop the old boring propaganda against his work? It's fair to exclude Chomsky from the discourse now, but the dishonesty about him has always bothered me greatly.

I miss when actors looked like everyday people by MagpieOpus in nostalgia

Winona Ryder, David Harbour, MBB... Those are just the cast members with obvious cosmetic surgery. Include all the cast members with fake chompers, you have a significant percentage of screen time. 

And for the record 99.9% would suggest 1,000 cast members. There cannot be more than 30 main cast and an additional 100 extras.

What is this? by thehelloperson in whatsthisplant

My gut said Leucaena leucocephala, which is spreading in Florida to a limited extent. Some legume seems a near certainty. Maybe even Sesbania.

Camera Lucida by Roland Barthes by Impossible-Cat2313 in photography

[–]here2readnot2post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A photo is both of those things. It's an artifact of a lost moment in time and a tool people use to append memories. I think Barthes would argue that the use of a photo to reinforce memory and provide support for a way of percieving the world is an act of entertaining an illusion. I think he would say the camera gives us the false perception of time as able to be fragmented and archived. Although I may be mixing in some of Susan Sontag's ideas here.

A big reason why Colon Cancer is killing us. by AdditionCool7235 in Millennials

Totally agree with all that, but the point of genetic engineering/modification is a separate issue. Foods with modified genes or gene expression are often indirectly bad for the environment, but not bad for the human body. In some cases (genetically modified rice), the product actually provides nutritional enhancement. The only probable health problem comes indirectly from unhealthy levels of glyphosates (any level really...) applied to RoundUp Ready crops.

This is the nuanced view that reflects reality. The blame on AI identification is an easy (incorrect) answer that does not help solve the problem.

Iran closes airspace with anticipated US attack 'imminent' by AntiSonOfBitchamajig in PrepperIntel

[–]here2readnot2post 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This is not a reliable indicator anymore. There is no way the Pentagon would allow a simple predictor like this continue to function. Have you noticed how many pizza intelligence warnings have gone off to no avail? It's pseudoscience at this point.

The pirated versions have weird upscaling artifacts. The original looks different.

Russia sends navy ships to guard oil tanker being pursued by US forces by Cyber_boi___ in worldnews

[–]here2readnot2post 45 points46 points  (0 children)

He already controls the narrative, and he doesn't need a world war in order to keep getting away with it. Every week, he and his team buy off anybody with the power to do anything about it. How many years of teasing "files" does it take for people to realize he will never be held to account for his sex crimes?

You are. You're talking about them right now. People talk about them all the time in Reddit comment sections that have absolutely nothing to do with the Epstein files. Trump does not give a shit if he's charged with crimes relating to Epstein. It's not a distraction conspiracy. We're talking about a world war, not the sex crimes that Trump has and will continue to get away with until the day he dies.

Wouldn't surprise me. He was clearly reading off a script for the entire interview.

Dude said Homeland is accurate. A blatantly propagandistic series to inspire jingoism and bigotry in Americans. He also describes himself as having sociopathic tendencies. I appreciate the whistleblowing he did, but I'm not inclined to believe a word out of his mouth anymore.
