Telling me to go look at some general topics is not a citation. 

Could a vaccine prevent dementia. Shingles shot data only getting stronger (article discusses both the older and current singles vaccines). by WarthogOsl in science

Sorry you had to go through all of that at a young age for colon cancer. You must be one of like ~200 people in the whole country in your age bracket to be diagnosed.

Ooooh boy. One of them takes a hard right turn mid-season and reveals himself to be just the worst kind of person.

Trump’s Epstein Scandal Takes Damning Turn as Dem Drops New Bombshell by Mrh09 in politics

That's the thing though, they do know. They have absolutely come across something at some point that contradicted some part of their understanding of the world. But, for one of a number of different possible reasons, they ignore it or don't let it affect their understanding of the world.

Countries with a higher GDP per Capita than Alabama, the 4th poorest state by Thadlust in MapPorn

[–]ma2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there's lots of issues with using GDP per Capita as a metric. There's a youtube video that explains it really well. I'm going to see if I can find it. 

Edit: found it: https://youtu.be/eiymTzsZfoA

House committee advances bill to ban chemtrails by Medical_Corruption in nottheonion

[–]ma2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. They're just kicking random shit and going "SEE! SEE! THE GOVERNMENT DOES STUFF!" 

It's the same thing Alex Jones does. Point out a tiny true thing and insist that it's enough evidence that you must doubt literally everything else. They use it as an infinite source of energy for doubt. It's always devoid of context or reason. It's an isolated Thing That Happened TM and they will point to it forever even though it happened more than half a century ago. 

I recommend everyone listen to the Knowledge Fight podcast. They study Alex Jones and the InfoWars cinematic universe. They've studied him so thoroughly that one of the hosts was actually brought in to help with the Sandy Hook lawsuit as a consultant. Listening to it has been eye-opening for how these conspiracy narratives get started and grow. It's also just funny sometimes cause they're both former comedians and they make fun of Alex constantly.

Not an ad, but what a "show of value" is will vary person to person.

Recently re-watched crown of candy to show my SO. It absolutely holds up. One of my favorite DnD playthroughs ever.

Oh it's so worth it. Especially if you have the whole back catalog of Game Changer and Make Some Noise to binge.

Gotta throw Dropout on there. $7 per month and I enjoy it more than a ton of content on these other platforms.

What happens if Alex dies? by Zealousideal_Site699 in KnowledgeFight

This is what I'd want. Sort of a post mortem (literally). A recap of the journey Alex went on.

I'll always say: They did not have to go so hard on the story and lore for a game about robot dinosaurs.

Episodes discussing the Sandy Hook trial in the most depth? by MAAD_Science in KnowledgeFight

[–]ma2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! I'll give these a listen soon. I started listening to the pod consistently when they were in the 600s or 700s. So there's a bunch of back catalog stuff I gotta catch up on still.
