This take is pretty gross. People are allowed to have families, and those families should be safe.

Oh gosh, an occupied country wants independence, this has never happened before.

Yup, people are underestimating the threat of these kinds of conspiracies thinking only dumb people fall for them. I’m sure if challenged, that engineer would think you’re too dumb to understand his new views.

No, that’s something you learn at school. It’s not something you’re born with.

That’s a really simplistic take. He’s an intelligent man but he’s fallen into an echo chamber of nonsense, it’s easy to say that only dumb as shit people are radicalised but just look around, that’s bullshit.

I don’t understand how so many people would VOTE for someone who reliable falls for and promotes so very many obvious conspiracies.

They don’t think it’s conspiracies though, my brother has recently fallen down this hole and he’s fully convinced that all the papers are complete lies, TV news is just fiction, and he knows what’s really going on. In this world millions of kids are being sold to hollywood sex rings and Biden is covering it up, and they’re terrified that their kids will be next. They believe everything he says.

While this is an interesting article, I feel like in the current state of twitter Alt right accounts are promoted whatever you like. When I was on it I followed feminist type pages, local news, some left wing comedians, I was still frequently offered Andrew Tate and the like.

Awful woman

My local nextdoor has an issue with non white people in vans. Like normal builders eating their lunch and Sharon down the road is posting “Anyone know why this man is here? Stayed there for 45 minutes, very suspicious, might be stealing dogs”.

Of fucking course it is!!

So does anything happen from this or are we just pointing out the obvious?

I absolutely agree. I did however listen to the audio of him gloating over the attack on Nancy Pelosi and her husband and it made me sick. I could never celebrate violence but I have a little less anger for those who are striking out at Trump.

Rockets are cool, they go to the moon, there’s not really a fun use of the word ‘bomb’

I don’t think that would be allowed in the UK, you can’t tell kids to eat bombs.

You call it a bomb pop? We call them rocket lollys, I assumed that the rocket part would be universal.

While I see the good bits of Proportional Representation, it does give extremism a foot in the door. Remember this is the voting pattern in a FPTP system, one of the tabloids even encouraged reform voters to switch to the Tories because of tactical voting. Changing the voting system gives these far right anti human rights parties a much better chance.

This article seems to be trying to make the use of drones seem ominous but that’s really simplistic. A drone is a tool. They talk about flying drones over large gatherings but before drones they’d just have a dude with a camera go up a tall building.

When there’s large gatherings it can be helpful to spot crowd surges or crushes to be able to see things.

Of course these things are open to abuse, but how many cases of abuse have we seen with basic police on foot?

It’s not the technology we should be worrying about but the officers who are abusive.

We’re up to 922 according to that link. That’s insane.

I’m always surprised by governments who keep the same leader for a long time. In the UK we got 3 in a year once, none of them do a full term, or not for a long while.

I’m getting paywalled and can’t be bothered getting around it but I’ve read a lot about this from the researchers who study it, it’s quite interesting. Is it possible that cells can have memory? Of course. Could energy persist beyond the physical? Sure.

I wouldn’t call myself a believer but I’m definitely a curious observer.

She tried calling the dog, then used an electric collar, and NOTHING worked?? Those are two things that are known not to work, she hasnt even made a tiny attempt to train the dog, then got annoyed when a hunting dog, specifically a bird dog, wasn’t safe around birds.

So what you’re telling me is she’s incredibly stupid as well as evil?
