None of them are good with computers except the producer and he can't control all factors I guess

I deeply respect not being good at computers but i hope they at least get decent microphones and compress the audio or at least get everyones volume roughly the same

Why do people still repeat the thing about Jill stein being anti vaccine, all the hand wringing was based on a Reddit AMA where she said "vaccines work but we should be skeptical of lobbyists influence on the FDA" and then every time since then shes clarified more directly that she's pro-vaccine

quote:

I have a whole book on toxic threats to child development. It’s called In Harm’s Way: Toxic Threats to Child Development, that I wrote with other health experts at Physicians for Social Responsibility when I was doing this stuff. This was published in, I believe it was 2000, by Physicians. It’s available on the web for free as a public interest research tool — actually as an organizing tool, in fact, for communities to help defend themselves against true toxic threats to child development. We did not even list vaccines as an issue. That’s the reality, that there is not solid evidence that points to vaccinations.

quote:

To speak to this more, there are two issues here.

One is whether or not vaccines are a threat. They’re not, not by any evidence that we have.

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA), on the other hand, is perfectly capable of being corrupted, and there are examples of poor regulation by the FDA. This is certainly underscoring public distrust. We’re saying, “Well, the way to shore up faith in vaccines is to clean up the FDA and our other regulatory agencies.”

She was trying to court the anti vax crowd early on, and the clarifications came when she was called out for very cynically trying to fence sit on the issue.

Yeah definitely, but imo theres a difference between cynically pandering which every politician does and being "an anti vaccine nut" which isnt the case but makes it a lot easier to discredit her medical knowledge and stuff

I guess when you already think CTH is a CIA front its bound to lead you to #pizzagate

To be honest i had a similar contrarian reaction when i saw a lot of the annoying hillary people being like LOL Pizzagate Bigly so i looked into the more "serious" claims of Pizzagate and it was really funny

One of the biggest pieces of evidence they have is a leaked email between two grandmas setting up a playdate like "My grandkids are 7 and 9 and will want to take a dip in the pool, so that should keep you entertained", which had hundreds of credulous replies from Tankie types being like "listen i have no horse in this race, but what kind of hosed freak thinks its entertaining to have kids in a pool"

the pizzagate emails remind me of the internet investigation of the boston bombings. more specifically, people (on this very forum) were going through the dead indian student's family's posts on facebook, and freaking out about what his parents were saying: were they talking in code??? were they plotting out terrorism in the open???

it was loving stupid then, and it is loving stupid now. as matt so nicely put it, emails are decontextualized, if you lose some of the assumptions between the communicators, so of course it sounds like code. and these people are normies, so of course they reference things that happen in the real world, instead of things that have an electronic trail on the internet

lol yeah, like the one where the guy gives his friend some pasta and the friend says "maybe ill be able to beat you at Dominos over this pasta", which means Dominos must = loving and pasta = a naked kid, because no one online has witnessed old people talking to each other about their boring hobbies

Has she ever addressed the fact that shes a multimillionaire trust fund heiress from Porno? People always make fun of her for it but ive never seen her respond to it, it makes it really funny that her line of attack against ppg is that hes secretly rich

I saw her obliquely reference it, and she seemed to claim her family actually struggled, and asking after her bank account was a sexist false flag or something.

That sounds about right
