Against my better judgement, I answered a liberal who asked what problems people had with the Democratic party.

Which led the shithead to the "but Republicans" excuse, and after being reminded that they control both houses as well as the executive branch and not requiring a single Republican vote, the dumb motherfucker then accused me of being a complainer and offering no solutions.

I will say that my response was ...less than constructive.

openly libeling the average D&D poster or mod can be done without actually having to engage with the chimo-adjacent assholes.

And if they wanna post in here about it, it's their fuckin funeral. But they'll probably post in QCS about how unfair it is that they can't punish goons outside of their domain for the obvious wrongthink of calling a death camp a death camp.

Uh, the PPP program was about maintaining existing employment, not creating new jobs. Companies could do things like stock buybacks if they kept the PPP funds separate, and the condition for loan forgiveness was if the money from the loan went into payroll and they maintained present employment levels. It was a broad-spectrum stimulus bailout to keep companies from downsizing during the pandemic, which...is what they did if they wanted to keep the money (or "keep" it, since they had to spend it). A lot of companies that weren't under payroll pressure just took the money, used it for payroll, and pocketed the equivalent amount from their holdings. This happened a lot because the loans weren't means-tested past some pretty broad employee count criteria. There was also some pretty widely reported fraud from companies making up employee count documentation. Companies didn't have to post new job openings; the entire "due diligence" claim has no relation to the PPP program's requirements. The rest of the thread is nonsensical past that point, which is pretty early on.

Look, here's the information about the forgiveness requirements.

You didn't cite the source, so I had to find it, which is a thing you shouldn't do. You claiming I said the book was a collaboration (Shannon assented to it) doesn't mean I actually claimed it.

You are speaking in weird, overbroad generalities about, apparently, the entirety of the social sciences based on your misinterpretation of the subject. As I said in introducing it, I used the model to introduce some really basic concepts and their interrelationships, not because it is the codex of social science understanding of communication.

Like the last several times you've made this assertion, I'm still not saying that people should uncritically trust "mainstream" sources of information. I know you want me to be saying it, but it's still not the case. We do not have the ability to be universally skeptical != "some sources should just be accepted". As in the OP, "'universal skepticism' is frequently just as intellectually lazy as credulity." Saying that bad sources will attack other sources as "mainstream" does not mean that I am endorsing a lack of critical thought toward whatever you're targeting as "mainstream". It means that a source that is attempting to deflect scrutiny can do so by appealing to target audiences by attacking alternate sources as "mainstream". "Mainstream" is an easy term of abuse to not give specific reasons to deal with sources of information you find disagreeable.

Yes, media literacy, evaluating the effects of sources of information based on its mediation, is what this thread is about.

Because you keep being factually wrong about the claims that you use to imply conspiratorial motivations to them. I'm not going to repost the corrections I issued to these items you brought up before because you've repeatedly ignored or mischaracterized them.
