I don't even bother anymore

They play it off like it's just a matter of opinion

This is the real story behind the pizzagate conspiracy. A hacker found child porn photos on a restricted page on Comet Ping Pongs website. The hacker informed police but no arrests were made. They stated they couldn’t do anything because the information was obtained illegally. Conveniently, a shooter at Comet Ping Pong managed to lodge a “SINGLE BULLET” into the hard drive of that computer.

This video contains an in depth interview with that hacker.

Spoon feeding to ask for citations of random quotes and images

😏

I'm just surprised the debunk was a centermeter above the album cover

Like it's the simplest thing to make sure you can back up your claims

You're surprised people crop out important details?

I'm surprised I could debunk in a second

It shouldn't come as a shock to you that people literally edit things but don't realise you too can reverse image search

People are stupid

Well ofc yesterday Derek kicked me for asking for source

Half the population is below average

That's Derek for you

As if it not his responsibility to provide proof to support his own damn claims

He's the faith master 6000 and all questions are just heresy

I can go "go open a science book and don't ask me to spoon feed you"

Science book

The big book of all science

I mean even a 3rd grade book will do to prove a globe

Double standards only exist because they can't coherently provide a proper argument that doesn't fall into unfalsifiable claims or a war on credentials

But it'd be condenscending to say this when I'm the one responsible to prove my own damn claims

The simplest argument for arbitrary curvature measurement actually comes from Gauss

I wouldn't go as far as what Fluff is saying, there is a benefit of being skeptical of science

Science is skeptical of itself

But informed skeptism and FE belief are different

Yes

You need to learn something to disprove it

And most of the time I see misrepresentations

Isn't she a socialist Gwench?

At best?

The argument basically holding that if you line up a series of level fences or planks and measure the distance from one to the next it should be linear, but as you move outwards, the error starts to accumulate as a parabola or any arbitrary planar curve

It's a principle in differential geometry

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS I’m not sure. Maybe.

You can figure out any random geometry using this method

Why does the website call her a communist then? @The Gwench

I love how people in the US are so anti communist but don't realise that their idea of communism is still right wing to the rest of the world

It's a joke

Cause socialism = communism

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS Ask the author.

Imagine

I mean I don't know physics, it's boring and full of numbers. But basic science literacy and understanding how to read a scientific paper means I can get a wee clue of if something is trustworthy @Goldsteel

Also socialism isn't communism
Ree

It can be difficult though

Same

Physics is boring :3

Have you played arxiv verses vixra

No

It's a game about trying to tell the difference between real papers and fake papers that look real

I couldn't do that, not if it was a topic I didn't understand

I can only pull about 60% since some people write garbage papers and some fake papers sound plausible but make no new claims

oh that seems fun

People make a fake paper claiming they developed a new UV laser, bogus

The socialist studies non stem gross topics would get me every time

Man writes horribly flawed paper in M theory

Legit

The difference really is the citations

If the paper makes an outlandish claim and cites other papers on vixra it's fake

The titles alone are impossible to tell though

I can make up any title

"A novel technique for examining the cross section of the Tau neutrino at SNO+"

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-07/bayer-beware-lawyers-claim-have-explosive-monsanto-documents

What's that? American companies dodge taxes and don't fully investigate product safety?

Say it isn't so bat man

"Ex-NASA Employee and Quantum physicist think earth is flat"

I find it funny sometimes

Weird, both FE truthers and me a hardcore, left wing, environmentalist both hate Monsanto

Studies quantum physics in her spare time

😏

so do all flat earthers

Oh I'm sure I can figure if that's a lie

And yet none of them can ever answer my really basic questions

grim was here earlier

Joy

i lasted a solid 2 minutes before having to leave vc because its just too much

You can tell it's trustworthy because it's written by the imaginary bloke from Fight club that all teen boys want to be after missing the point of the film

I mean they write in their manifesto 🙃 why they use pseudonyms, it's to protect themselves from the government in case they want to silence them but I don't think naming yourself after the literal physical manifestation of a lonely guys worst and most destructive behaviour helps your image

What's it with these people and watching Fight Club and Matrix and They live and just seeing a completely different movie to me.

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS What are you talking about? Im sorry...I haven’t been paying attention, Busy posting some of this weeks news.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-07/elon-musk-smokes-weed-uses-flamethrower-comedy-show

Just roasting the guy for using Tyler Durden as his pseudonym

Oh that. Whatever. It was the content people were supposed to look at. 🙄

unless its wolfie or soundly :^)

You can tell a lot from an author for what they chose to represent themselves as anonymously

i agree with gwench tho

name is eh

For example people with dog pics are great

@Satan Thank you.

Yeah I'm being a bit of a pedant but dang that website is full of really annoying ads

they gotta make money like every website does tho

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS I agree with you there. Regrettably, it’s the only way to get the news for free.

I think the line is crossed when I have to click away 3 full page ads

They also sell merch so they must be making some money
