I read this quote the other day.

quote:

Just having more information isn’t helpful. Knowledge isn’t power. Wisdom is power. Having a random assortment of facts at hand is what creates the crazies on the internet. They believe that by reading a blog or watching a video that what they have just done is research. They don’t understand how to differentiate the data. They don’t understand about writing abstracts, random sampling, original source reviewing, or how to perform independent probability statistics generation. They don’t look at the source of the information and question why the source reported the information in such a way, nor do they wonder if the information wasn’t loaded in such a way as to conform to preconceived ideas.

and yes, yes, it's a little simplistic. But by god when you read stuff like this Kim woman is tweeting and all the others in this thread like her. You know exactly what they meant.

Yeah, that was my favorite part of the whole thing. "WHO THE gently caress WANTS TO KNOW WHAT CARDI B THINKS ABOUT UKRAINE", then cut to the multiple thousands of people viewing her IG Live on the subject. Not trying to go for a "Well, it's popular so therefore it must be good!", but clearly people DO care. If someone is an international pop star, then yes, people will want to hear what they have to say about any number of topics, "real news" or otherwise.

Also, I'm all about pop stars trying to make sure their fans know what is going on in the world. :shrug: It's a bit sad that someone may only read up on the subject due to Cardi saying something about it, but hey, if that's what it takes to get people to check the news...

Honestly a significant number of Americans probably only know about the Armenian genocide because of the Kardashians (and a slightly lower number only because of System of a Down).

More arguments from Brand Eating! Guess what article these comments are from! (It's a review of Taco Bell's beefy melt burrito.)

A guy posted:

NJ might be cheaper, but then you are in NJ.

Big Lebowski avatar posted:

Not all of NJ is a cesspool.

Plus, it has that ever-positive factor that you happen to not live there!

A guy posted:

That's fair, there is Alabama in the middle part.
So it's a cesspool surrounding inbred hicks.

Big Lebowski avatar posted:

I do not live in either state.

But... as a general rule, I would take inbred hicks over insufferable pricks.

As you belong to the latter group, I have no compunction pointing out that for someone who seems to be constantly providing their condescending and "woke" commentary on every comment, situation, injustice, or social issue, you're awfully judgmental about something as arbitrary as the state where someone may reside.

Are you allergic to not being (to quote a far better Brand Eating patron) "an uninteresting d-bag" who - as a quick Google reveals - just trolls the internet at large?

Try some kindness towards people and thoughts/ideas other than you own. The beginning of wisdom is understanding one's own knowledge - however large and vast it may seem - is summarily insufficient compared to what one doesn't know, and that without an accompanying mastery of at least one tenth its measure of grace, such knowledge is worthless.

It may help with your affliction of the need to constantly mash the downvote button, as it's something only a small, closed-minded individual would do.

As an added bonus, it's hypoallergenic!

I will report back if someone responds with "That's just, like..your opinion, man."

(For context, Nicki Minaj was pleased that Tucker Carlson seemed to agree with her regarding the vaccines. This big Twitch streamer pointed out that Tucker Carlson is a white nationalist. Apparently "Maybe don't be pleased that a white nationalist co-signed your opinion" = "shove marbles up your rear end".)
