Anne Whateley posted:this is loving adorable but just fyi before you say this at work or anything. The idiom is "kid gloves," and it doesn't mean gloves made for handling babies/kids, it means gloves made out of baby goats, because they're softer. Sorry that got depressing fast hey buddy I'll show you adorable once i squeeze on these tiny gloves made out of baby skin! I guess I wasn't clear enough but it was her mom expressing these beliefs. we educate ourselves in this house. someone posted in the first hundred pages how they were quarantined with their wife who was a 5g'er, harrowing stuff. to the goon whos wife thinks government internet rays are reprogramming the population, you remain in my thoughts.

Has anybody coined “The Disinformation Age” yet? I suspect it’s a way bigger problem than what we’re just now realising. Most people I know are repeating bad information and insane conspiracies, even people I previously thought had reasonable critical thinking abilities are talking about dumb conspiracy theories. Nobody seems to care about the motive of the message, just the punchline of the message. I thought the concept of doublethink was neat but implausible, but it’s everywhere now and it looks like it’s becoming the norm for popular thinking.

You'd have thought conspiracy theorists would be happy with the actual conspiracy to pretend covid is over. Maybe we should try and convince them the covid virus isn't real and it's actually a cover up for antibiotic-resistant pneumococcus bacteria? They're can't stop it so they're hiding it so as not to scare the public; the only way to protect yourself is hand washing, masks, and avoiding other people.

zer0spunk posted:My prediction is when the death count starts getting higher that's when you'll see backlash against people like desantis and maybe even resignations?  no. Trump(TM) brand GOPers never admit they made an error. It would make them look weak. it's always someone else's fault. Besides, daddy wouldn't approve, so nope, not happening.My wife spoke to her dad last night. He's convinced this is all George Soros' fault, so why would any GOP person take blame when it's very obviously Soros, or Bill Gates, or etc etc

I think some people believe they are conducting "research" while watching YouTube videos of dudes sitting in their truck. There is a lot of easily accessible false narrative approving videos and some people feel that the simple act of searching is analogous to research.

I don't think there has been any logic besides "I'm going to believe in the exact opposite of what is commonly accepted by mainstream medias.

It's fun to be a 14 year old edgelord and believe in the opposite of literally everything that is accepted truth. But most people grow out of it. Hardcore conspiracy theorists however, never grew out of it. Now we have the equivalent of a 14 year edgelord in the white house so naturally all the conspiracy theorists have latched onto him.

We were picking blueberries and talking about how much all this poo poo loving sucks and she just causally drops how most people are showing symptoms of poisoning, not disease! I kind of blue screen here and say that sure yes I can see how people might think they are poisoned when they are In fact infected with a disease because surely some of the symptoms could be similar right? Its the first time I've encountered this in person and my gut reaction was to just get pissed, but I understand If i want to change someone's mind it has to be done with baby gloves. I believe that spreading disinformation directly results in unnecessary suffering and death so it's tough to take someone saying these types of things lightly. She then says how a lot of doctors said that it was not a virus. When I asked what doctors she said doctors on YouTube and I just walked away. poo poo!
