I grew up with 20% being the norm in my family

But also like… Who fucking cares if it was?

The entire thing comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of science. It annoys the everloving shit out of me.

This has to be one of the most harmful lasting cultural effects of the internet… Every moron with an opinion deserves a platform now apparently.

Who determines what’s “fact”?

Because climate change is pretty indisputable, but the corporations that own the news have a vested interest in continuing to dispute it.

So you do a segment that says “here’s a scientist with noting to gain from deceiving you and, by legally required contrast, a climate change denying corporate shill whose profit motive in lying to you is jarringly obvious.”

Why would you do this when you yourself work for a massive corporation with vested interest in pretending it’s not real?

Exactly.

And who determines whether it’s “news” or not when it’s something seen as controversial? Oh, the corporations that own the channels/shows? What could go wrong?

I’m skeptical about the Fairness Doctrine. Not everything has a valid “other side”.

I’m also certain that it would be used as a tool of manipulation had it continued to exist until today.

“Manufacturing is the heart and soul of our country

Fucking what?

How dare you, this is a Christian server

Only people who don’t worry about money can afford to be motivated by other things.

Which is exactly why it’s important that they make sure most people can’t afford this

Maybe I’m crazy, but gleefully murdering and torturing Iraqis is typically a deal breaker for me when it comes to elected officials.

Couldn’t really care less if he became a fucking monk afterwards

Who said anything about this stopping them

Right… I guess I’m just a little surprised that there isn’t a solution akin to Fedora Atomics’ rpm-ostree.

Dilbert was never funny anyway. Fight me about it.

Yeah that’s the point. That’s why I put it in quotes.

I was referencing this meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-should-improve-society-somewhat

Then wow it must just be a crazy coincidence that the tattoo he got on his chest is the exact design that Wikipedia (and pretty much every other site about Nazi symbology) chose to show as an example.

What bad luck! 🙄
