@ManaByte Use this for deniers. It will scramble their brains big time. It's hard to argue against the simple truth of this reality!

There is a reason people do not debate Flat Earthers or Moon landing deniers. It is not because the evidence is weak. It is because the conversation is rigged from the start. You can bring measurements, physics, engineering, independent tracking, international verification, and experiments they can do in their own backyard, and none of it matters. The moment the facts show up, they shout fake, edited, CGI, conspiracy, or “that’s just your belief.” You cannot debate someone who treats every piece of evidence as invalid by default. You cannot debate someone who demands proof and then rejects the proof the second it appears. You cannot debate someone who thinks their personal disbelief outranks measurable reality. A debate requires both sides to accept evidence. Flat Earth and Moon landing denial collapse the moment evidence enters the room, so the only move left is to deny the room exists. That is why people do not debate them. Not because the globe is fragile, but because the argument they bring is. You cannot have a real discussion with someone who decided ahead of time that nothing you show them will ever count.

It's one thing to say older devices don't support some new feature or service or operating system. But to make the deliberate choice to brick a device that's working perfectly well, in order to force your customer to buy a new one, is a hostile act of predatory capitalism.

Today i apologized to my manager for having to take numerous phone calls from Lebanon because of the bombings and she said “omg who’s bombing them?” This is the reality of living in the US. This is the ignorance of the American people

Ceasefire

‘Grok, who is this person?’ Grok: ‘Could be him, could be her. I’m not sure.’ ‘Grok, what is the fourth hole?’ Grok: ‘Well, sit down girl, have I got news for you?’

For whatever reason, I decided to read American Psycho last week. Imagine my surprise to find that the lead sociopathic character, Patrick Bateman, idolizes Donald Trump. The book mentions Trump dozens of times. It was published in 1991.

Poetic answer: “It’s better to know you’re a normal zebra than to think you’re a weird horse.” Direct answer: “Without those labels, most people chalk up your symptoms to character flaws they can use as excuses to hate you, abuse you, and discriminate against you.”

I’m so upset… My Kindle is fifteen years old. It still works fine, and I want no other. I read a lot, and this is the only e-reader that doesn’t hurt my eyes. None of the new models have a screen that so perfectly mimics paper. And now Amazon is forcing me to buy a new one. 😡 I don’t need a touchscreen or sound, and I definitely don’t want adverts! 🤬 The timing couldn’t be worse either… I can’t afford it right now. ☹️ I guess I won’t be buying more ebooks for a while... I’ll just have to read the ones I already have.

Blackrock owns 65 GP's surgeries, your money for the NHS pours straight into the pockets of US Billionaires. Privatisation of the NHS by stealth that nobody wants.

This is what happens beneath the Spanish Steps when a priest from the Diocese of Rome meets an English guy and an Argentine priest Better than a Fellini movie! Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 ⚽️

Victoria Derbyshire is, by a mile, the best interviewer on the BBC and she really should be their political coverage figurehead and Question Time host. Maybe because she takes no shit from politicians is the reason she isn't?

Very Good I would say!

It's always strange to me when people argue against diagnosing autistic and ADHD children by using the 'we shouldn't be putting labels on them' argument. Because I was undiagnosed as a child - and wait until you hear about all the other labels I got instead.

@EggNameless @anon_opin Well they voted for his party since he's been in charge of it... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@anon_opin @AmbientSheep Anyone voted for him? That'll be a no then.

Zack Polanski tends to stand out because he is the only politician in quite a few years that has gone all in on, "let's be good people." We are so used to politicians rocking up and screaming, "I'm a right cunt. Watch me be nasty. You can be nasty cunt, too."

🚨 REPORTER: Are Jews oppressed in Iran? IRANIAN JEW: We have rights, schools, a seat in parliament. We don’t feel like a minority. REPORTER: And Israel? IRANIAN JEW: What they’re doing in Gaza… we oppose it. WORLD FED A FALSE NARRATIVE 💥

Someone just asked me if my Zoom background was real. I got up, walked over to a plant and shook the leaves to prove that it was. After my pride in having such a beautiful set waned, I remembered the plant was fake. I no longer know how many levels of simulacra I'm operating on.
