tek79 posted:Is it just me or does that Putin/Tucker interview come across as straight up treasonous? Not that Tucker is all that important anymore or that we're at war with Russia in the most direct sense, but we're allied with Ukraine and Putin undoubtedly regards the U.S. as his enemy. It's like Jane Fonda but in reverse. Conservative "journalists" jerking off adversarial dictators maybe isn't that new but the Tucker interview is really weird to me. Not to get all I just listened to the Tucker interview through the newest episode of Knowledge Fight and it... kinda reminded me of why it's a bad idea to go and talk to foreign dictators. Poor Tucker, all he had to do was continue to ride that line at Fox, and remember that it's all a show... now he has to set himself on fire weekly just to register with a fraction of his former audience.

, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Fox News never actually fully explained why they fired their biggest money maker, did they?

lol you can ask most people what month and day 9/11 or jan 6 happen and most of them would blank, and only half of that would be thinking on the meta level of "wait is this a fake out/trick?"

Neito posted:I mean, a lot of people are also super certian that memory is like a camera pointed out your eyeballs; there's a lot of scams (mostly cold-reading style stuff) that relies on the fact that you can reliably re-enforce a false memory in certain ways. They really do. The Mandela Effect is fun as a pop-pheonema, but I (foolishly) joined the associated Reddit at one point and it was common for people there to assign misremembering logos to shifting realities over faulty memory filling in the gaps with common cultural symbols.

What a stupid comparison If I didn’t have my resume on hand, I would struggle to remember the exact years I worked certain jobs. I’m only 36. My memory just doesn’t work that way. I can remember the names of coworkers who I haven’t seen in a decade, but I can’t tell you what exact year my dad died. Memory is a weird thing, and a lot of posters in this thread are dumb.

What a stupid comparison It really isn't I couldn't tell you the year anything in my life happened. I've never given it any thought. The date is useless extra information. My current job if I ever need my hire date I look at the day my user account was made in Active Directory.

You weren't ever the president of the united states though, surely you can see a little difference, especially when campaigns are literally referred to by the year they went on? quote:a lot of posters in this thread are dumb.

It's pertinent to the thread, because it's indicative of the attitude that one is always correct, that all opinions are of equal important (although some are more equal than others) and that fascism and authoritarianism are okay actually if people who look and think like you are the ones wearing the boot. I'm wrong all the loving time. I know very little about very little. And I believe the same to be true of the vast majority of people. I don't take being corrected or educated as a massive blow to my ego (although it's good if it's polite and non-condescending). Like, the best thing in life is finding out new poo poo - it's great!

I know it's shocking but not everyone's brains store information the same way. Some store it by date others by person and still there's other ways beyond!

Oh you got me, I 'fell' for watching Joe Biden clips where he can barely get a whole sentence out and seems confused and lost, it was all a Republican trick and not actual reality. You do know it's ok to criticize Democrats when they deserve it, right? You don't have to be an unabashed toady at all times

I'm kind of annoyed because long before the Mandela effect struck popular consciousness, I had the same idea as a setting for a scifi novel. I never found an interesting story or characters I wanted to use with the setting concept and so it goes. Not that I think it's the most wildly creative concept or anything, in fact I could only think of generic and obvious things to do with it, but it would have been nice to be ahead of the curve.

You don't have to be an unabashed toady at all times The president themself is a figurehead, it's not important that Joe Biden could or couldn't personally defeat a dictator in hand-to-hand combat, he has a team for that-- the army. Similarly, it's not important that Joe Biden could or couldn't personally develop or even understand every single one of his policies, he has a team for that. The point is that the Biden administration is loving crushing it. All he has to do is make the final decisions and accept the consequences of everything and demonstrate leadership. And, more importantly, be more likeable than Donald Trump every 4 years.

Biden is old and has problems recalling things sometimes. Trump is a twice-impeached failed businessman insurrection leading rapist who lies about every god drat thing. They are exactly the same! if you have dementia
