The back-fire effect explains why so many people love to watch Fox News, even when they’ve admitted in court that they’re not news and no rational person would take them seriously. Reinforcing beliefs through propaganda is comforting - and no amount logic or fact checking is going to change it.

… yeah we’re basically fucked as a species.

Lol I’m sure that would end badly. Remember that QAnon crazy guy that fired shots at that pizza restaurant demanding to see the basement where they kept the kids tied up?

Google is basically a conspiracy theorist peddler at the point.

What 3d printing software do you use in your country that detects if gun parts are being printed?

Because as far as I know, that’s impossible.

Edit: I assume the downvote confirms such software doesn’t exist.

California is trying to do the same thing. https://youtu.be/5ax9zW0w_gY

My wife works at a library. People constantly come in asking to use the library fax machine, because Google’s AI says they have one.

They don’t have one. Their website says they don’t have one. But LLMs have determined it’s plausible for libraries to have a fax machine, so Google tells people that they have one.

You’d be surprised at the number of people who can’t accept that people working at the library know more about the library than Google.

Jesus Christ Lemmy

No, the Apollo missions also circled the moon.

Still do! At least that one guy…

Leopards eating good.

Ooo that feels like it should be illegal.

But now that you mention it, that’s kind of how the Best Buy deal worked. They didn’t automatically split up the payments for you like a car or home loan. It was a credit card, so you could pay the minimum balance every month. But paying the minimum balance wasn’t enough to actually pay off the whole thing in 2 years.

See Latinos for Trump.

It doesn’t provide any details other than saying he hit his head. Honestly the article is kind of one sided, quoting the city’s attorney but not the plantiff.

This was from 2017. Here’s the latest I could find: https://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/huntington-settles-lawsuit-over-officers-leg-sweep-takedown/article_7bec81c8-6a53-541f-a466-93d200bf9f1d.html

…the city of Huntington settled the case in December for $17,500. The civil charges against [Officer Dakota] Dishman were dismissed prior to the settlement and he was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing after an investigation by the FBI.

Nah, it says to be excluded you have to be the “passive partner” so power bottoms are still allowed.

Yeah it’s a bit much, but you can’t put limits on art. Not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping someone else would pick up the thread with Bill Montgomery. Something like:

It’s like starting a “grass roots” student group

When you’re seventy two

On your wedding daaaaay

It’s a bullet to the neeeck

When you’ve spent your career advocating against sensible gun control legislation

Yeah far easier to impeach, which requires a simple majority in the House and 2/3rds of the Senate.

The 25th Amendment is a higher bar, since it requires 2/3rds of both the House and the Senate.

I love how he tried to gaslight everyone about the image after deleting the post. He claimed he posted a picture of him as a doctor and only the lunatics on the left could interpret it as Jesus.
