@William Dinan Well, New York is not Bejing.

...yet....

I've got it... "Trump walks up to Sidney Powell... He says, 'Knock, Knock"... She looks at him warily and replies with her southern accent, 'Who's... there??' Trump says, 'Kraken' Sidney replies, 'Kraken who?'... Giddily Trump exclaims, 'Kraken my a$$' pointing to his backside... After laughing hysterically, he adds "You're Fired!"

@Doc. More like Isreal

I think Trump would actually grab Powell by the kraken....

We talked about this, with Biden it will be LOL

Hi.. I’m new here... how can you convince someone who only watches CNN & ABC that what they are listening to everyday is not a reliable source?? No matter what I say they look at me like I’m nuts 🙈

@Beth Explain basic epistemology.

Then move on to Edward Berneys.

HI, @Beth... Welcome.

ah, and yes! Welcome @Beth the first

@Beth. Buy them a Book and Teach then to Read?

@Beth Welcome to the discord.

@William Dinan That is what I said! Have them read "Manufacturing Concent"

It is kind of like trying to pull someone back from a cliff after they have already jumped

@Jorgen Johnson bungee

well sure

> That's the re-release... It's a much more dramatic version than the original.
@TaLoN132 <-----Spends days of diligence building impeccable credibility and gonna throw it all away by indirectly bashing Olivier's delivery in favor of Neeson. Damned shame. Smh.

You just hope the Cliff is actually a Speed Bump! @Jorgen Johnson

@William Dinan, you just advanced to level 5!

Thank you all 😊 the only things they read are the New York Times or the Washington post... so I’m currently in a losing battle

But I,m pretty sure CNN and ABC don’t have any safety nets built in

You could try this.

@Beth welcome to the club. I have been watching the mental health in populus go down the drain now for 20 years.

@Beth There are good and bad reporters on both sides of the political spectrum. I find that that finding common ground requires both parties acknowledging that there is not one definitive "good and reliable" source on anything. So much of what is in the media is subjective on both sides. You're never going to be able to convince someone that their preferred source is garbage saying that yours is pristine. That's just my opinion. Getting someone to try it your way may require you trying it there's. If you both do it with open minds, you both might learn something.

Okay this explains a lot! 😂

@Beth, you just advanced to level 1!

@Doc do you teach at an University?

That depends on your definition of mass media...

@Maw and correlate it with this: https://i.insider.com/5c927ddd4f07ae5d161a603f?width=1100&format=jpeg&auto=webp

I find it very worrying to be honest

Doc, the only thing I see in this graph is that old people just don't care. Lol.

@William Dinan I do. Uni of Oslo. I teach junior doctors (interns and residents), and junior psychologists.

"Whatever get off my lawn."

Lol

@Beth Dont be. No reason to.

I didn't say better... Olivier's sounded reluctant... there was more nuance. Once Liam's Zeus makes his mind up, there's more intensity.

@Maw The older you get, the less important it is to be seen, and the more important it is to find that perfect technique in curing fish and meat.

@Doc. I'm in the Psychology Department myself. Psychology and Law.

I couldn't tell with the Dr. Phil avatar.

@William Dinan wonderful! Im in forensics. Where are you?
