"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

mrpants ,

This fuckin quote is from Joseph Goebbels and was about one of his views on a Jewish conspiracy. I so hate this quote.

mrpants ,

Hrmm. TIL. Thanks!

BBC Confirm Policy Change On Describing Hamas In Meeting With Jewish Leaders (www.mediaite.com)

Following weeks of backlash the BBC will reportedly no longer refer to Hamas as “militants” opting instead to describe them as "a proscribed terrorist organisation" or simply "Hamas." This shift in policy by the public service broadcaster was announced by the Board of Deputies of British Jews in a press release on Friday,...

Wow crazy to see 2014 Republican talking points recycled for whatever this is.

mrpants ,

Far right arab supremacists also exist. Impossible to rule them out especially given the timing and circumstances.

mrpants ,

And charged how many times?

mrpants ,

So go be one. How brainwashed do you have to be to believe hostages are being treated well by Hamas.

mrpants ,

They intentionally slaughtered a massive amount of civilians in a blatant act of terrorism. The people that did this don’t believe Jews to be worthy of living. True or not anyone who can believe and do these things isn’t too far off from being capable of beheading babies.

mrpants ,

It’s not. History never is and it’d be worth understanding how we got to this place.

mrpants ,

It’s actually spewing tire and brake particles everywhere. It’s responsible for 30% of microplastics in our environment. It should not be anywhere near our main mode of transportation in the future.

mrpants ,

Car infra is the most ableist thing in transportation you idiot.

Try being vision impaired and driving. Try being in a wheelchair and getting down the average American street. Try having a limp and crossing a large intersection in 20 seconds. Try being an entirely able bodied person and getting to the other side of a highway that cuts through your city.

mrpants ,

You’re at 15 so far idiot. Go for 30. Post pics.

mrpants ,

Ohh so you’re moving to a wealthier neighborhood. Could have just said that. Capital is your problem, not city vs. non-city.

He got them a few and far far less than they asked for.

In cases where something looks stupid but your knowledge on it is almost zero it’s entirely possible that it’s not.

The people that maintain Unicode have put a lot of thought and effort into this. Might be helpful to research why rather than assuming you have a better way despite little knowledge of the subject.

mrpants ,

Again you do not because the world consists of more than your interests and job description.

mrpants ,

You know the problem but not the set of reasonable or practical solutions.

Anyways I and l look identical too in many fonts. Should we make them the same letter?

mrpants ,

The problem here is that you don’t know how deep their role was. Nothing is being made up. Pope John XXIII even wrote about the role Catholic antisemitism played in the lead up to the Holocaust.

lol fat chance, keep dreaming idiot

mrpants ,

You might want to read a little deeper. Technology always removes jobs. People shift to new jobs. The unknown is if new jobs will exist or if we’re entirely post scarcity.

mrpants ,

Found the robot sales person

mrpants ,

lol wtf this is real life not philosophy

mrpants ,

If we make it less popular with people concern trolling “politics” then we’re fine with it.

Every single time we get new nerdy platforms they’re cool for a couple years and then the normies come in with whiny nonsense. I do hope the majority of you stay away for many years to come.

mrpants ,

Yes I should only have to kiss and lick one boot a day each way maximum.

Whole Foods argues it can ban BLM masks because the Supreme Court let a Christian business owner refuse same-sex couples (fortune.com)

Amazon.com’s Whole Foods Market doesn’t want to be forced to let workers wear “Black Lives Matter” masks and is pointing to the recent US Supreme Court ruling permitting a business owner to refuse services to same-sex couples to get federal regulators to back off....

mrpants ,

We do. We just don’t like you two very much.

mrpants ,

eyyy… you shouldn’t have done this

mrpants ,

Several of the letters make mention of his conviction. Someone posted them above.

mrpants ,

They’re a completely different liability.

Most of the time. Sometimes it can lead to code that is ambiguous and ASI picks the wrong way to interpret it.

Bro I’m thriving in this society and am as left as they come. Whole bunch of stupid ass games that are easy to play when the circumstances favor you. They’re entirely unfair and inequitable.

Winning at this shit game is nothing to be proud of.

mrpants ,

You ever convert a Nazi with words? You certainly haven’t convinced me that a Nazi puncher and a Nazi are the same.

mrpants ,

What a stupid take, these are completely different and valid problems with entirely separate solutions. One of which the gaming industry has spent decades fighting and the other they literally just got tools for.

mrpants ,

Nahh dude you’ve just got this one wrong.

mrpants ,

Re: Coding in binary. It makes no difference. Your assembly is binary, just represented in a more human readable form when writing it in assembly.

Re: Manual interaction. Sure there’s plenty of old computers where you can flip switches to input instructions or manipulate registers (memory on the cpu). But this is not much different from using assembly instructions except you’re doing it live.

You can also create purpose built processors which might be what you mean? Generally this isn’t too useful but sometimes it is. FPGAs are an example of doing this type of thing but using software to do the programming of the processor.

mrpants ,

Ohh stfu hate speech has always been punishable by law and a demagogue will do whatever they want. Precedent doesn’t matter. “You better not strike back or the bully might do something in the future” is the cry of cowards and centrists.

mrpants ,

Not defending paper straws specifically but recycling is a scam. Anything common household material that is not plastic is inherently better than plastic from an environmental standpoint.

mrpants ,

Yeah, park and ride, bike and ride, complete public transit, or even driving on less crowded highways to cities with more available parking because other people chose other modes.

Ultimately how anyone would commute depends on their own personal factors and what’s available. In the future we’ll have more multimodal transport and that should make things nicer for everyone.

mrpants ,

lol the only one in 26 years holy shit. feels like every other day with far right weirdos going on shooting sprees

mrpants ,

The hell are you on about. This car is ancient.

mrpants ,

The legislative branch makes laws, the judicial branch applies them. Hope this clears things up.

mrpants ,

Ohh wow you are very smart

mrpants ,

There are falsifiable hypotheses in this study.

Here’s the study. Go get access to the full text and read it jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/…/2808129

mrpants ,

You truly have no idea what you’re talking about with regards to science, hypotheses, and how they work.

mrpants ,

You should look it up for yourself if you don’t think subjective experiences can be defined and measured in an objective and falsifiable way.

You could, for example, conduct a falsifiable experiment related to people’s perception of color or heat or their night vision.

Bro it’s that the inequality that the Kens are supposed to accept is just how it is.

I think we both get that and I think it’s a great illustration. It actually hurt to hear that line as a guy.

But that’s the whole point of it. If it hurts to hear that as a man about a fictional character in a movie how much does it hurt to hear that in your real life?

The movie is not advocating for switching to matriarchy. When Barbie gets liberated she doesn’t leave Ken behind and tries to help him in his own liberation. Unfortunately other Barbies don’t understand this and are happy to have their power back while doing minor feel good policy changes for the Kens. This is how the world actually works in a lot of instances. The movie is demonstrating quite pointedly how the world is so that we can see and feel it.

mrpants ,

To demonstrate a point more saliently than intellectually. That line hurt on purpose and it’s a good thing. It gets through better.

I do hope my fellow dudes can handle the tiniesr bit of pain for a learning opportunity.
