Yes everyone citing cases from the 80s and 90s as reasons to be skeptical were "reasonable" because in this instance they were ultimately correct.

Perhaps a reasonable third option would have been letting an investigation move beyond it's preliminary stages before saying you don't believe it?

But yeah both sides or whatever. Thanks for keeping us on an even keel.

I don't give a gently caress that people had doubts or articulated them. I cared that people posted isolated incidents from decades in the past as their rationale for harboring those doubts. So gently caress off with the reality is a team game bullshit

I missed that part of it and was remembering people pointing out things about the story that seemed really weird.

If someone was citing some previous rare hoax as the basis for being suspicious that's bullshit and I am not defending that.

edit: "Don't do what they do it's bad" is not the same as "both sides are the same/do the same thing".

I feel ya, I was in the same place. Now I can post "Man gently caress it, I never watched Empire anyways". Even when the rumors first started trickiling out I was all "foreal! CPD and ICE just picked up these Nigerians and beating them till they sign the confession in their blood"

But, welp reality is real and a C List actor wanted the same recognition Rober DeNiro got. Last thing he said was he was "Gay Tupac" and I am DONE. News cycle is fast enough I can just wash my hands and move on.

Climate Change is Making Tick Populations Explode

quote:


Debow, wielding his ruler, called out square-centimeter tick counts to Blouin: nine ticks in the first square centimeter, seven engorged; eight in the second, none engorged; 28, four engorged; eight, none. This count would later produce an estimated infestation total of just under 14,000 ticks. This was actually far fewer than they often found, but it was enough to render this calf chronically anemic from January through March and then acutely, fatally anemic in the last couple of weeks of his life. In April, when the gravid females start taking their blood meals, the blood loss over their last two to four weeks aboard the moose “can equate to a calf’s total blood volume,” according to one recent paper—some three and a half gallons. As Inga Sidor, the New Hampshire state veterinary pathologist who processed the tissue samples Debow and Blouin took that day, later told me, the ticks “literally bleed the moose to death.”

Taxpayers have picked up the tab for the Secret Service to rent golf carts to protect Trump while he hits the links, including more than $90,000 this winter in Florida, bringing the agency’s total golf-cart rental expenses to approximately $400,000 since Trump took office. Trump’s golfing while president has so far cost taxpayers an estimated $88 million, including security and flights aboard Air Force One.

She also thinks Hitler wanted to make all the Slavs into Germans, which is pretty much the exact opposite of what he wanted (he wanted them enslaved and eradicated to make room for the Germans). I guess she thinks lebensraum is a funny word for "cultural exports."

Basically everything he can charge to his own businesses he is so he can charge way, WAY beyond market rate and pocket the excess. His hotels are also stunningly full of representatives from foreign governments renting out entire floors and the like that may or may not actually show up but pay for the rooms at way, WAY beyond market rate so he can pocket the excess.

In a functioning, healthy country those would be easy grounds for impeachment right there but laffo we live in a kleptocracy.
